20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Though there were definitely a few unexpected twists and turns thrown in there during the seven seasons of Clone Wars animated drama, everyone knew where this one was heading.

Along with the clones being forced to turn on their Jedi allies via Order 66, Anakin Skywalker's eventual fall to the dark side was inevitable, of course. And the show actually managed to foreshadow his incoming heel turn in quite a few subtle, disturbing, and impactful ways.

Following on from violently cutting down some Tusken Raiders after they'd murdered his mom in Episode II - Attack of the Clones, The Clone Wars showed a p*ssed off Anakin Force choking Poggle the Lesser in season two, losing his control when dealing with slavers in season four, horrifically beating the crap out of Clovis after watching him trying to make a move on Padme in season six, and even confessing to his Padawan that he understood wanting to walk away from the Order in season five.

And while you probably caught many of those more obvious chunks of ominous foreshadowing, there were a few more easily missed details present, too. Like a sound similar to Vader's breathing being heard when Anakin was put on a ventilator in season one, and Skywalker's armour throughout the series looking very much like the chest plate he'd later wear as 'Darth'.

All of these moments and details, big and small, pointed to what we all knew was sadly on the horizon; this Skywalker taking a terrifying and catastrophic walk on the dark side.
