@strikerecho25924 years ago Fun fact: while working on this episode, sam witwer, aka the son, corrected a mistake to dave filoni. The mistake was that in the original script anakin . ...Expand 24

@MiniLegoProductions4 years ago This arc was so weird but so good at the same time! I like how unique it is and the lore it expands. 31
@

@HistoryUnwound4 years ago I think its less about anakin using the dark side during the test as much as it is using light and dark equally. 50
@

@jeffmiller60254 years ago The son is not the embodiment of the darkside. The text (in the second or third episode of the arc) is clear about this: the father points out that the fallento the darkside. The daughter comments that its in his nature. And the father rejects this.
the mortis arc does a lot of weird subtle things. And one of those is to point out that natural, dynamic darkness and the darkside are not the same thing. Do with that what you will, but the text is weirdly clear about it, if subtle. ...Expand 43

@Jedi_Spartan_384 years ago In both TCW and Legends, Anakin got massively screwed over by the Clone Wars happening when they did, in TCW he got immediately promoted (which he presumably loved since there are notes by him in The Jedi Path saying he wanted to skip the Jedi Trials) and in Legends he only got promoted 6 months before Episode 3 and there are multiple places where he's put through hell (eg: everything from Jabiim to finding Obi Wan and Alpha) and also other places where he believes that he's ready for the trials and more responsibility in the Clone Wars as early as the Muunilinst episodes of the Clone Wars micro series. .. ...Expand 18

@gillesetienne53592 years ago Small details. Before the test we can hear some music notes from the theme force. And after the test. When the ship leave the planet we can hear the dark . ...Expand 2

@EChacon4 years ago The most interesting and strangest arc of the clone wars begins. 40

@dualdestry28564 years ago The words you are looking for are the id (the primal, need-need-need morality) the superego (the moral center for doing selfless acts for others) and id="hidden7" the ego (the central decision maker that decides between the ego and the superego). ...Expand 7

@legostarwarsfan1594 years ago It is indeed interesting that anakin doesn' t believe in the chosen one prophecy, but i guess it' s more that he kind of associates the chosen one . ...Expand 9

@goldenfiberwheat2384 years ago I like that model better. The one in rebels looks like a completely different person aside from the forehead markings 6

@EyedMite4 years ago Im glad i finally get to hear you guys talk about this arc! 7
@

@gary24fan4 years ago Yes! My favorite arc of the clone wars. I love it when star wars gets strange and i hope they do more oddball stuff in the mandalorian and other series. 9

@redterror664 years ago The scene with shmi reminds me of the exorcist when the demon pretends to be damien' s mother. 4

@

@Tinkerbe114 years ago This starts like a star trek (original series) episode. There' s a distrss call, the crew lands on an unknown planet with strange life forms. 2

@patrickschardt77242 years ago Parents vs siblings or literally a god of any religion balancing good and evil. You cant have one without the other.

@sammywestenberger93034 years ago Adywan star wars episode 4 a new hope & the empire strikes back revisited blu-ray scene & language selections behind the scene deleted scenes.

@MCLegoboy4 years ago I may be in the minority, but i am not much of a fan of the mortis arc. Overlords is the only episode i really like of the three because the next two just i honestly don' t get why so many people love the mortis arc outside of the big bad force wielders and the uses of the force that we see in it, but as far as the plot goes, i mean, i just don' t know about it. I love the son, i like the concept of dark ahsoka, i really actually like most of overlords as a whole with everyone' s visions and anakin making the taco girl choice, it is a great singular episode, and i kind of wish it stayed that way because from there we start acquiring daggers and killing everyone so that there is balance, but also not really and it' s just. It' s too far out there, i don' t get it, and sometimes the episodes just drag. I' m sure it all makes sense in george' s head, but whatever it is, it cannot be manifested outside of his brain. ...Expand 2
