The reason I think this is becouse Fives had a choice. He had control over his actions and fought for what he believed was right. Jesse had his humanity stripped from him he was no longer able to think on his own and fought and died not understanding what happened to himself.

To me personally Fives’s arc is the saddest thing to happen in Clone Wars, if not the entire Star Wars franchise. There are a lot of contenders, Umbara being up there imo however think about it. You’re created to fight for a war you were no part of, treated as property and not even given basic human rights. The only proper connection you’re allowed is your brotherhood and the obedience (or loyalty) to Jedi they imprinted onto you from birth. Then you find out your brains were manipulated into being programmed to do anything said to you, including harming everyone you care about. You discover this and try to expose it to save everyone, they think you lost your mind. You go to the Chancellor, who you exist to serve btw, and find out it was his doing. And in the end they what, kill you? And no one other than Kix even batted an eye to what Fives said. Was no one even a little bit curious?? He single handedly could have prevented a LOT of bad things.

I have been wondering this for a while. Now we know with order 66 all the clones were essentially brainwashed into believing the jedi had turned against the republic and needed immediate execution (along with other force sensitive people). And we also know from Rex and Wrecker (Bad Batch) how after the chip is removed clones become aware that they were being controlled and show remorse. What confuses me is how long does the effect of the chip last if you don’t temper with it? In the Bad Batch, we have Howzer who regrets his actions in Ryloth, and we see Cody who also questions his new position within the empire. With them questioning their actions, are they becoming aware that they were being controlled or are they just regretting the way they handled thw supposed “treason” of the jedi. And also why does the empire replace them if they have a chip they can control? Why not have another order you can activate and make the clones do whatever they want. It seems stupid to hire people who can easily realise the true nature of the empire and quit (even though they joined willingly unlike the clones) when you have an army of clones you can manipulate. Unless the chips have an expiration date or slowly lose it’s power.

Just a little something I had been thinking about for a while. Finally got my proof of concept.

"Our actions define our legacy"

I'm on my first watch of clone wars and I've actually enjoyed it from season 1. Except for the filler droid and jar jar episodes and a few occasional episodes it's been pretty fun.

Then I started the umbara arc. I watched all three episodes in a single sitting and nothing could prepare me for that moment when Rex takes off the clone trooper's helmet. Until the second episode i thought Krell couldn't be THAT evil. That he was just ki adi mundi but worse what with his cannon fodder tactics. Nothing prepared me for that sledge hammer to the gut. May his name be forgotten.

The charecter development of Captain Rex, Fives (rip my bad batch boys), jesse, Tup and dogma and the 501st in general has been absolutely amazing. RIP to my boy Hardcase.

Live to fight another day boys, live to fight another day.

This has been one of the best war stories I've watched and it's an arc in animated show. This arc is one of the best star wars media I've consumed. I hope this arc hasn't set the bar too high for the rest of the show. Truly insightful and stirring. What an arc.
