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

14. A Monument Paying Tribute To The Very Beginning

A very different kind of tribute shows up in the galaxy far, far away for the first time during The Clone Wars' fifth season.

When Ahsoka Tano attempts to flee some incoming clone troopers after being framed for a number of murders and the bombing of the Jedi Temple, the Padawan is seen sprinting across the top of a large monument on Coruscant.

If you take a second to pause and examine this giant slab of rock, though, you'll notice a ton of markings etched into it.

Said Aurabesh inscriptions are actually the designations of each and every clone who fell during the first battle of the Clone Wars, and the rock they were marked onto was actually taken from the planet that fight went down on - Geonosis.

The same monument would also show up later down the road in the Bad Batch season two episode "The Solitary Clone", serving as a reminder of the price these clones had to pay when fighting the Republic's battles for them.
