Clone Wars 710 - "Phantom Apprentice" (FULL EPISODE REACTION)
Added 2024-11-07 21:11:38 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
It's official.
This arc is already arguably some of the best, if not THE best, Clone Wars content there is! To be 100% honest, the season started off a bit rocky, but this is top tier. This is a movie quality. This is INSANELY FUCKING COOL!
Thank you guys so much for being a part of this journey with me!
Love you all so much,
Alex

In terms of who is more powerful, Anakin or Vader, it’s a little complicated. Anakin was a powerful Jedi, and had the potential to become the most powerful force user in the galaxy. However, after the loss of his limbs, that potential was permanently cut off. He becomes an extremely powerful Sith, fueled by the purity of his hatred and loss. And may have very well been stronger than Anakin. However, he could never be as strong as Anakin could have become, before his limb loss. Palpatine was always disappointed in the fact that he had invested so much in an apprentice that could never become what he had hoped for. And hated that Vader had settled into his role as his servant, and would never develop the ambition to grow powerful enough to try and usurp him. Which is why when Luke shows up, he’s so willing to toss Vader to the side and recruit Luke. Luke has the potential to become nearly as powerful as his father could have been, and still had most of his limbs lol So, all that to say that if young Anakin could fight Vader, Vader could likely win. However, if Vader fought Anakin as a fully realized master, then Anakin would leave Vader as a smear in the dirt.

2025-09-23 05:41:03 +0000 UTCFun fact, the Lightsaber fight in the throne room was all motion capture, Ray Park (the original Darth maul) came in to do all the stunts.

2025-08-25 15:49:14 +0000 UTCHoly shit it is so frustrating watching him miss some of the most important dialogue in the show because of talking over🤯🤯🤯😭😭😭
Myles
2025-01-20 09:42:30 +0000 UTCYah Sam Witwer did amazing with maul The way I remember it is that Vader is stronger than anakin but anakin had more potential and could’ve become immensely more powerful had he not gotten all his limbs chopped off
Tysten Tomlinson
2025-01-01 03:24:51 +0000 UTCAlright bro ig ur right but u don’t need to say also known as EP I know that lol💀 I always saw maul as the phantom menace as we knew little about him when the movie came out and he always had a good on revealing little of what he looked like on top of the fact that he spoke like 3 times lol😂 so I kinda got that impression although I guess that sidious being a projection for most of the time (google said all the time but are just straight wrong lol as we can see him talking to maul in human form on coruscant) Edit: ur comment was from November I have no idea how I got a notification for it today like wtf Patreon😭😂💀

2024-12-29 14:06:22 +0000 UTCBingo! So frustrating! Ahhh! I love him though, but sheesh, just watch and listen! ❤️
Astromech Jeremy
2024-12-29 14:04:07 +0000 UTCi totally agree love these vids but sometimes i lose my mind when he misses plot details lmao
Lance Rexroat
2024-12-29 08:18:44 +0000 UTCI absolutely love your reactions, but my gosh it's frustrating to watch you miss so much amazing dialogue and plot points because you talk over them :( Maybe you can assure us that you're still hearing the plot/dialogue even though you're talking? Although I'm halfway through this video and you've missed a few things already :( For someone who loves Maul and the voice actor who portrays him, you sure talked over him a lot, lol
Astromech Jeremy
2024-12-19 02:29:35 +0000 UTCSlight correction. Ray was the mocap, but Sam Witwer voiced Maul (and Palpatine) through the entirety of Clone Wars. Sam has talked about how he used Ray’s live action appearance in Phantom Menace to shape the animated versions of Maul he brought to life, as well as the couple of amalgamations of his version and Ray Park’s (season 7, Solo).
Jessie
2024-12-16 21:45:37 +0000 UTCThe fact that maul would rather die than see the things thats coming just shows how scary sidious are
N I C E C A S T L E
2024-11-30 23:25:01 +0000 UTCThank you, there is literally no way Vader beats anakin. Like it is physically impossible. Vader fan boys. Look up who would win ‘dooku or Vader’ it will say physically Vader is stronger, but dooku is faster and has won battlers far superior to any Vader has achieved. And less than prime Anakin kills dooku in just a few mins…
Charlie Fontana
2024-11-28 02:48:31 +0000 UTCNot really. I’m pretty positive that Anakin during operation nightfall was the most powerful version of himself. He killed hundreds of Jedi, including the battle master with relative ease and he never again reached that power
Greg Irons
2024-11-27 18:12:47 +0000 UTCIf you want to find out what happened to Maul after fighting Sidious on Mandalore check out the comic/audio video of the comic Son of Dathomir to fill in that gap.
KrimzonHawka
2024-11-24 21:55:34 +0000 UTCDarth Vader from RotJ is far stronger than Anakin from RotS, but Anakin's potential was always higher to become the strongest.
YannickWega
2024-11-10 17:56:59 +0000 UTCThe phantom menace is Sideous. Maul is the phantom apprentice.
Jessie
2024-11-10 05:12:12 +0000 UTCYeah, if Padme couldn't talk sense into him, I doubt anyone could have.
NeonKurai
2024-11-09 08:43:11 +0000 UTCRespectfully, It’s canon that Palpatine was always disappointed with vaders ambition and what he had become (limbless). Vader loses a fair amount of battles due to his blindful rage and Jedis troll his ass all the time. His demons haunt him every chance they get for what he’s done. He needs to spend countless hours in a Bacta tank for his incurable burns. he loses to his own son, who isn’t even the chosen one and gets only 2 weeks of training…. They had to retcon star killer because he embarrasses Vader. The only thing that would back Vader being stronger is George Lucas stating that “Vader had nothing to lose, making him dangerous”, but that doesn’t say stronger.
Charlie Fontana
2024-11-09 02:22:30 +0000 UTCNo he isn’t. Vader is stronger. He was restricted but over time he got more powerful than he was as anakin.
Connor Ross
2024-11-08 20:55:43 +0000 UTCAlex now that you rewatched the 3rd movie and finished clone wars.. I think you should check out on YouTube the animated fight of obi and ani! Took them about 4 years to make and is well worth the watch. Also added extra content about the fight that was only really featured in the novelization.
Connor Ross
2024-11-08 20:54:31 +0000 UTCI mean it is quite easy to tell when a clone is just a filler clone compared to someone like Rex, Fives or one of the tens of important clones.
MrMansikka
2024-11-08 20:11:38 +0000 UTCAnakin is significantly stronger than Vader. Vader is very limited in him movement Ahsokas 17
Charlie Fontana
2024-11-08 19:47:55 +0000 UTCThe Phantom Menace was Palpatine, the phantom apprentice is Maul
Therogueone2103
2024-11-08 19:32:04 +0000 UTCThat's exactly why he was begging Ahsoka to kill him. He didn't want to see the destruction of the galaxy once Palpatine and Vader come to rule over it.
IGOR PODEMSKI
2024-11-08 14:17:45 +0000 UTCI think he only shows up in this arc but its funny cause alex says he cares about the clones but whenever a new clone appears he does not care
Dom
2024-11-08 06:11:32 +0000 UTCPrime revenge of the sith anakin is the most poweful Jedi you’ve ever seen. Because he has a little bit of hate that fuels him but he has th patience of a Jedi sometimes. Definitely more powerful than maul and Vader
Aaron Boone
2024-11-08 06:08:08 +0000 UTCPalpatine replaced Maul with Dooku, and when he heard Maul was alive and thriving again he attacked him and killed his brother savage in front of him and lightning bolt tortured him. But other than that yea why would maul not be on good terms with Sidious lol.
Aaron Boone
2024-11-08 06:06:48 +0000 UTCI never heard of sterling in my life and I’ve seen the show twice lol.
Aaron Boone
2024-11-08 06:03:42 +0000 UTCDuuuuude the motion capture fo Maul is INSANE, that iconic jump and double strike near the start of the fight with ahsoka🤩😲🥹
Kobain Hine(Kyber)
2024-11-08 03:02:08 +0000 UTCRay Park is the voice and motion behind Maul in Season 7👌 he and Sam Witwer are LEGENDS, sam, katie sackhoff, and probably ray too all have hundreds of hours of podcasts/similar content you can watch, especially discussing star wars, its worth watching Sam Witwers point of view as he has INCREDIBLE insight to star wars, hes been guiding star wars production for years and his likeness is also used as starkiller(the dude, not the base) and countless other voices including multiple in this episode alone Honerable mention goes to Ray Stevenson who voiced Garr Saxon in this episode, RIP Legend! i cant wait till Alex sees Ray's last completed project
Kobain Hine(Kyber)
2024-11-08 02:46:56 +0000 UTCThe Clone Wars lasted between 3-4 years. She was 14 at the beginning of it. Shes 17 here
Jmols
2024-11-08 02:33:26 +0000 UTCThat’s why he was begging for ahsoka to let him die instead of capturing him, he would very much like to work against sidious ftom a distance
Logan Giddings
2024-11-08 00:51:51 +0000 UTCDude, I love you Alex, but you asking why does Maul want to go against Sidious, when he's spent two episodes explaining over and over how Sidious discarded him (not even to mention killing his brother last season) is kinda crazy xddd
Ireful
2024-11-08 00:43:03 +0000 UTCAlex: "We've gotten so close to the clones." Also Alex: "Who tf is Sterling he is expendable"
Dom
2024-11-08 00:37:51 +0000 UTCEven if anakin saw ahsoka again, i doubt that would have changed anything
Dom
2024-11-08 00:36:19 +0000 UTCAnakin is stronger than maul by a long shot, anakin is stronger than Vader by a fair amount (given time to mature and also if allowing him to just tap into the darkside)
Michael
2024-11-08 00:14:30 +0000 UTCReminder, darth Sidious (palpatine) was mauls master in phantom menace
Coojw
2024-11-08 00:07:04 +0000 UTCmaul's ~34
canonscott
2024-11-07 23:57:18 +0000 UTC"why would maul want to go against sidious" Alex, he literally killed his brother, toppled his empire, and tortured him in season 5. I don't expect Alex to know anything about SoD but regardless that still happened in THIS show.
canonscott
2024-11-07 23:57:02 +0000 UTCMaul is around 44-45 and ahsoka is 19. She was 17 when she left the order.
Alex Georgiadis
2024-11-07 23:42:15 +0000 UTCSidious and maul are not on good terms. Sidious hasn’t been mauls master for like 10+ years
JP
2024-11-07 23:38:54 +0000 UTCthink maul is in his late to mid 40's at this point and ashoka is 17.
Connor Ross
2024-11-07 22:59:05 +0000 UTC🤣 I’m actually laughing! Bro look respectfully you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about! Darth Sidious was the strongest sith of all time! Stronger than Revan, Malak, Malgus, vitiate, nihilus, etc! Now you may not have read and done more into Star Wars besides just the stuff in screen and if that’s the case I could see why you may think this. But it sadly isn’t true at all Anakin was not more powerful than Vader! Not at all Vader was one of the most powerful and terrifying sith of all time but it may not seem like that but we only see him fight Luke (who even in empire couldn’t bring himself to kill and Ik he was supposed to bring him to palps but even if he was supposed to kill him I don’t think he could) and not Jedi he’s actively trying to murder dead and despite vaders power he was only 80% of the emperors power roughly! Now if Anakin didn’t lose his limbs and more importantly not burn them he could’ve been almost 200% of the emperors power roughly
Miles Barsness
2024-11-07 22:46:03 +0000 UTCThe actor for darth maul in phantom menace did the choreography for the darth maul and ahsoka fight in this episode!!😁😁
Lucas Husli
2024-11-07 22:43:13 +0000 UTCHmm I’d say ani, Ashoka, and maul would be enough. Anakin was a lot closer to sidous than people think in revenge. People fail to realize the only reason he lost to Obiwan was the conflict inside him.. if he had no emotional attachment to obi during the fight… it would have been a much shorter fight.
Connor Ross
2024-11-07 22:40:13 +0000 UTCVader was more powerful than when he was anakin, but he lost a lot of force potential when he burned and lost so many limbs. Overall though if ani stayed in the light or even if he didn’t burn .. he would have basically been like god level.
Connor Ross
2024-11-07 22:37:28 +0000 UTCwell I know, but isn't it just a death wish at that point? sidious is so fucking powerful...
Alex Hefner
2024-11-07 22:24:51 +0000 UTCMe: I hope he doesn’t talk through this very important dialogue *Does “I didn’t know Darth Sidious was working with Maul!?” Me: Fuck.
Dallas Darnell
2024-11-07 22:24:42 +0000 UTC17 (Confirmed!)
Joovain
2024-11-07 22:20:36 +0000 UTCBro, you 100% have to watch a recap once you finish the series because you forgot so much😂
JDL
2024-11-07 22:16:30 +0000 UTCShe is 17.
Skyde
2024-11-07 22:15:46 +0000 UTCAlex if you read this: Maul and Sidious haven't exactly been on good terms for.. i dont know.. 13 years
Skyde
2024-11-07 22:14:47 +0000 UTCwell ahsoka was 14 at the beginning of the clone wars and revenge of the sith takes place three years after that so I assumed that she’d be 17 in this arc
Hello There
2024-11-07 22:10:06 +0000 UTCShe’s 19 at this point. She was 17 the last time we saw her
Alex Georgiadis
2024-11-07 22:03:41 +0000 UTCDead brother alone
BrandonOnYoutube
2024-11-07 22:00:08 +0000 UTCThe true identity of the Phantom Menace is none other than Darth Sidious, also known as Emperor Palpatine. I pulled that off of google. You could be right though. From a certain point of view
Lucas Cameron
2024-11-07 21:55:33 +0000 UTC“Why would he want to betray sidious?” Think about the last time you saw them interact
Logan Giddings
2024-11-07 21:52:45 +0000 UTCWrong! Maul is the phantom menace because in the original movie when maul “died” everyone thought he was the Sith Lord but now they know he was just the apprentic
Miles Barsness
2024-11-07 21:52:02 +0000 UTCwhy maul wants to destroy palps: like he said, he was always just a pawn in his plan just like dooku. He was cast aside and forgotten as soon as Palps found someone better than him and he knows he cant return to palps side because palps is eye fucking anakin for his new apprentice. So he wants to rob sheev of said apprentice and start an underground gang thing. Ashoka accepted mauls oppinion that the jedi council and the republic are in a bad state and corrupt so she was willing to fight evil another way with maul i guess... dunno if she would have stayed with him tho xD..
Naggo
2024-11-07 21:51:45 +0000 UTCAlex they wouldn’t have stopped it anyway😭 ahsoka and maul combined is maybe a tenth of sidious’s power! Like even them plus obi wan and Anakin isn’t enough!
Miles Barsness
2024-11-07 21:51:06 +0000 UTCMy guy... he doesn't even know on what planet this stuff is happening and that Maul was controlling Mandalorians. He even forgot that Ahsoka saw Darth Maul in the hologram literally 5 episodes ago.
IGOR PODEMSKI
2024-11-07 21:50:46 +0000 UTCAnakin is the apprentice
Sebz
2024-11-07 21:49:53 +0000 UTCMaybe it has something to to with him being betrayed and used. And cast aside like nothing. He wants revenge
Sebz
2024-11-07 21:49:03 +0000 UTCThats not how i heard it. "Why would Maul go against Sidious?"
Sebz
2024-11-07 21:48:11 +0000 UTCTo Clarify it is actually Sidious who is the Phantom Menace. Anakin/Vader is the Phantom Apprentice. Those names signify the Rise of Palpatine and the Fall of Anakin Skywalker which is the whole story behind the prequel trilogy.
Demon of Empire
2024-11-07 21:47:29 +0000 UTCIn the phantom menace, Palpatine was the menace. In this episode, maul is the apprentice
Lucas Cameron
2024-11-07 21:45:52 +0000 UTCI think Ahsoka is 17 at this point, not sure about Maul though
Hello There
2024-11-07 21:43:59 +0000 UTCWill be mentioned here a lot but the Ashoka maul fight was mo capped with Ray Park who played maul in phantom menace.. so so good!
Gingernut23
2024-11-07 21:43:54 +0000 UTCI don’t think that’s what he meant, I think he meant he didn’t know they were working together now, which they aren’t but he thought they were
C Tuley
2024-11-07 21:42:25 +0000 UTCMaul's problem is that he always let's his guard down when he thinks he has the clear upper hand

2024-11-07 21:36:48 +0000 UTCRight he dont remember anything🤣
Sebz
2024-11-07 21:33:21 +0000 UTCDude. You really remember nothing. Maul was Palpatines apprentice in EP1 The Phantom Menace. Before being 'killed' by Obi Wan, and earlier in the series Sidious killed mauls brother Savage Opress in the same fucking throne room on Mandalore. Sidious already used Maul as a pawn!! Thats why Maul says he and Dooku are alike. USED and Cast aside by Sidious
Sebz
2024-11-07 21:32:44 +0000 UTCDo you not remember a couple months ago when sideous killed savage and had maul begging for mercy

2024-11-07 21:23:22 +0000 UTCFun Fact: the Lightsaber fight between Ahsoka and Darth Maul was all Motion Captured with the Original Choreographer Of Darth Maul Ray Park from Phantom Menace. It is one of the best fights I have ever seen in Clone wars
