Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay damn, I get it now. I think I understand how emotional this show can be and I know that more of this hard-hitting FEELS is ahead. What an arc! Easily a top one in this show so far. I feel like I am still recovering from what I watched. If you haven't watched one of my TCW reactions in a while, you won't want to miss this one!

Here are the episodes that make up The Umbara Arc that we are watching today in this watchalong:

  • Season 04, Episode 07: Darkness on Umbara
  • Season 04, Episode 08: The General
  • Season 04, Episode 09: Plan of Dissent
  • Season 04, Episode 10: Carnage of Krell

Please grab a copy of the episodes on your end to watchalong with me. Here is the direct link to my watchalong with the option to download it for offline viewing. I watch The Clone Wars through Disney+ with a valid subscription.

Let's chat about this arc in the comments! I'm so excited to see how you all feel about this one. I feel like this arc must be "top tier Clone Wars", right?

For the best watchalong experience, I strongly recommend watching on your computer and using Firefox's Picture-in-Picture feature. With this feature, you would make my reaction video full-screen and pop-out your copy of the episode so that it sits over my video. Move it right over my blurred episode in my video and re-size to your liking. 😊

Hey, Kaiielle! PLAN OF DISSENT: A trio of clones execute a successful stealth mission in direct opposition to the General's orders and Pong Krell will have his pound of flesh! REX demonstrates his leadership quality yet again by recognizing the merits of Fives' plan, by covering for the disobedient trio and by accepting responsibility on their behalf. Rex references what Anakin did against a LUCREHULK in "Phantom Menace" when noting the similarities between Fives' plan and Anakin's exploit. FIVES' attempt to mollify Krell's demands for an explanation of the disturbance in the hangar as Hardcase struggles with the starfighter's controls is an homage to the scene where Han tries to reassure the Imperial officer demanding to know the nature of the disturbance in the detention block in "A New Hope". FIVES, JESSE and HARDCASE punch through the atmosphere into a firestorm but manage to make it all the way to the control ship's reactor before a tactical droid drops a ray shield in their path! Loyal DOGMA almost spilled the beans! The DEATH of HARDCASE! FIVES and JESSE face a court martial where a guilty verdict means execution!

Hey, Kaiielle! CARNAGE OF KRELL: PONG KRELL has been the substitute teacher from Hell and the 501st have had enough! Krell orders that FIVES and JESSE be SUMMARILY EXECUTED without a court martial but a firing squad which includes KIX and TUP is unable to gun the two of them down after Fives reminds them angrily that they're men, not droids! Thwarted, Krell commits a wartime atrocity by stage-managing a FRIENDLY-FIRE MASSACRE! The DEATH of WAXER last seen in "Landing at Point Rain" (Season 2, Episode 5). His helmet bears the image of little NUMA from "Innocents of Ryloth" (Season 1, Episode 20). Waxer's distinctive facial hair was a soul patch. I really like the single tear he sheds as he dies. REX orchestrates a mutiny and its the greatest example of his fine leadership yet! The scene of Krell's attempted arrest mirrors the scene of Palpatine's attempted arrest in "Revenge of the Sith". The powerful Besalisk Master butchers the clones with his dual-bladed lightsabers until TUP bags the rogue General using the vicious VIXUS PLANT! Krell delivers a frighteningly accurate PROPHECY OF DOOM! DOGMA, the only loyal clone, executes the sadistic and twisted fallen Jedi! The darkest and most sobering arc to date in the series that leaves Rex questioning the point of the war. For all the talk of being independent-thinking men, this arc just brings the tragedy of Order 66 into sharp focus when you consider how the clones would have acted if given the choice. In LEGENDS, the role of Pong Krell fell to Weequay Master SORA BULQ briefly seen in the background of a situation room briefing in the animated show. He protests the war as a violation of Jedi principles initially creating a schism within the Order but eventually becomes Dooku's acolyte. The rise of Krell was foreshadowed by Mon Calamari Knight NAHDAR VEBB's aggression and callousness in "Lair of Grievous" (Season 1, Episode 10). This hearkens back to the conversation about the underlying theme of the entire series between Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano in "Brain Invaders" (Season 2, Episode 8) about the role of the Jedi. The war has compromised the Jedis' principles making them blind to the corrupted nature of those in their ranks like Krell while the same conditions seem to provide Palpatine clarity in that he positioned Krell where he could create chaos, sow discord and demoralize the Order.
