за жизнью - смерть; за смертью - снова жизнь. за миром - серость; за серостью - снова мир
THE GREATEST TRAGEDY OF STAR WARS
The more I watch Clone Wars, the more emotional I get over ROTS. Because, when I first saw it in theaters, Clone Wars hadn’t come out yet. Remember what that was like? Getting upset that Palpatine created an evil army of clones that served with the Jedi, and these clones knew that they served a Sith Lord and were ready to betray their generals at the drop of a hat. I hated the clones when they showed up in AOTC because they were obviously the future stormtroopers and I felt justified in that hate when I watched ROTS.
And then we got The Clone Wars. Then we got more than a minute of Commander Cody, more than a glimpse of the youngling killing 501st. I watch Order 66 now and I know that’s the Wolfpack, Plo’s Bros, shooting down Plo Koone. I see Commander Bly turning on Aayla without hesitation. I know that those two clones that Yoda beheads are probably two of the three he reassured in the first episode that to the Jedi the clones matter, that they’re individuals. And it hurts. More than Anakin turning, what happened to the clones was the real tragedy. Sidious just flipped a switch and these strong, meaningful relationships the Jedi had with their troops were completely decimated. The clones’ wills were subsumed, their personalities erased, and we didn’t even know that that’s what happened until years later.
I watch the scene when Cody ordered the 212th to blast Obi-Wan, and all I can think is, how confusing must that have been? Did he even realize who fired on him at first? How badly did Obi-Wan’s heart break to know that his men were trying to kill him?
God, this cartoon is kicking my ass.

Йеп, это одна из тех вещей, что делает мультсериал прекрасным и кошмарным одновременно.
