He told Fives the "Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise".

When a clone was closer to killing a sith lord than the whole jedi order.

The arrogance of the jedi has always annoyed me ever since i saw the clone wars series

Can we appreciate that Fives almost effortlessly overpowered that squad of clones hand to hand? That’s a freaking Arc Trooper right there!

When an ARC trooper is smarter than all of the Jedi order.

Palpatine is the kind of guy who, when his entire decades-long, super-complicated, galaxy-spanning, masterfully woven conspiracy against the Jedi is almost revealed, turns, 100% unfazed and in control, to a Jedi Master and says, "that seems unlikely, don't you agree?" and he never even flinches. And then he straight up reveals the conspiracy to the clone trooper. That's why he wins.

The fact that Palpatine told him about Order 66 in full ears of the Shock Trooper Escort adds to evidence that the Shock Legion already knew about Order 66 and would follow it without question.

"a separatist plot from before the war? That seems unlikely master shak ti?" Shak ti: "Well considering jango fett was used as the template and that he was later found on genosis with count dooku who would found the CIS and that the clone army was ordered by presumably a sith Lord called tyrannus, its entirely possible"

If Master Ti hadn't force-pushed Fives away then he'd have killed the Sith Lord the Jedi had been hunting AND the Great Jedi Purge would have never happened. Way to go, Shaak Ti!

What Palpatine says: A Separatist plot from before the war even started... That seems unlikely What Palpatine is actually thinking: How has a single Clone come closer to foiling my plans than the entire Jedi Order...

Palpatine saying, “A Separatist plot from before the war even started,” carries the same energy as, “You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?”

That clone trooper must have gone mad without his chip.

Shaak Ti looked so cool in the prequel episodes. But after watching her in Season 6, I hated how she couldn't even use her own common sense to create her own judgement. She was too loyal to her service in the Republic.

3:43 fives nearly saved the galexy

I love the dramatic irony of this storyline. We all know Fives can't succeed. We already know how the war goes. But on first-viewing, a part of me desperately wished that Fives would manage something. It's so sad, because there's only one way things could really end, and yet you want to hope against all odds that things will work out. That's basically a feeling the prequels can evoke as a whole, but you don't know how an individual arc will go. This one's frustrating, as we know things can only really end one way, but Fives comes tantalizingly close to making a major difference.

For all those saying Order 66 is Shak Ti’s fault I highly doubt Palpatine would’ve let himself get shot. He’d probably have used the force to jam Fives’ gun or just kill everyone in the room and blame it on Dooku

"A separatist plot before the war even started?" Ohhhh yeah I know nothing about thaaaat....

So palpentine's personal clone guards knew sidious was a sith?

4:38 Close the blast doors! Open the blast doors! Open the blast doors!

fives is like the smartest clones in the 501st legion, he doesnt deserves to be a arc trooper, but a *arc commandor*

“Wait so you’re telling me that the true purpose of the Clones was to kill the Jedi?” Palpatine: Always has been

Ever realize how hard it would’ve been to catch Fives if he didn’t have a tatoo? “Look for a bald clone” “What”

3:41 You know Palpatine had to use every single muscle in his body to not say "DEWWIT! Strike me down! Unleash your anger! I can feel your hate."

Without his chip. He is slowly becoming jango fett

I know this is a really serious scene, but I can't help but laugh out loud when I see the title you gave the clip.

3:19 I just LOVE how palpatine just had a shift in his voice. From good to evil.

The way palpatine acted throughout the whole series, it's hard to believe no one saw him as suspicious.

I love how geniusly Palpatine resolved this problem for his plot. He knew that the full scope of it was so ludicrous nobody would believe him. The best solution is the most simple. Just tell Fives the truth and everything will sort itself out.

Just saying Out of everyone in the universe, The first person to attempt to foil Palpatines plans and nearly succeed was not one of the gifted force fielding jedis or heros of the republic. It wasnt any notible senator or glory seeking freedom fighter. It was just a clone looking out for his brothers. All of his Brothers...

Tim Curry did way too good as Palpatine lol

I am sure palpatine laughed his ass off in private later, a clone trooper that just barely now entered the war saw through the entire decades long sith plot that jedis failed to see all this time

kind of funny in a way how telling Fives everything is literally the best way for Palpatine to get out of this situation, it made Fives look crazy and no one would believe him

“Now,” Palpatine leans in after the Jedi leave. “Where were *we?”* “Uh...sir?” “You were right. Everything you said was true. Those chips will be the very thing that kills the Jedi, and there’s nothing you can do to change that fact.” Fives stared at Palpatine in horror, seeing a dark smile on the Chancellor’s face. “W-what are you-?” “You have impressed me, the fact a single clone has gotten farther than any Jedi in ruining my plans is impressive indeed. Sadly...you won’t be able, to tell the tale.” Fives proceeded to knock the Chancellor to the ground, taking on the Shocktrooopers and overpowering them, all the while Palpatine released cries of distress as Fives pointed the blaster at him. “You...YOU!”

Palpatine to Fives: “Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise?”

Chancellor: "a separatist plot from before the war seems unlikely" Shaak Ti: "agreed" Later obi wan learns dooku made the army combined with knowledge that sidious controls the senate and yet no red flags were thrown up, the final season had so many plot holes considering the chips.

This whole arch proves Fives was the smartest, and the craftiest clone who ever lived IMO

Close the blast doors yeah we knew he's gonna escape

Funniest title ever for this season

Imagine if palpatine was exposed lol he’d go down as one of the most pathetic sith in history having the 1000 year sith grand plan foiled by a clone.

All he had to say was "HE IS A SITH"

Love the title

lol, she foiled her attempt to catch that clone trooper by getting the blast doors closed..

Man, one clone nearly killed the entire Senate with a single shot. Impressive.

I still am just in awe that Fives came so close to killing sidious and preventing the OT and ST from happening entirely

I love Palpatine in this scene. You can completely see how he managed to pull off everything he did

Palpatine gets so close to being revealed so many times, but he can improvise with just his words so effectively that he not only throws everyone off his trail but makes the thought of him being behind everything totally ridiculous and thoroughly debunked.

Poor Fives. He knew what was coming. And knew no one would believe him.

“clone wars is a cartoon for kids” fives: you DRUGGED me

My question is how is Shaak ti supposed to know the Palpatine is a Sith? Nobody else in the Jedi order knew it. All the Hate towards her for some how "killing all the jedi" doesnt make much since.

makes your heart feel heavy knowing what this close went through

2:27 when papatine’s voice started going higher and higher it made me laugh for some reasom

This place is definitely the same area Vader gets his suit in Episode 3.

"He was too dangerous to be kept alive." *-Palpatine*

Sideous is the epitome of "Go ahead, tell them. They will never believe you."

The title is great. Fives: "What, we turn on the jedi and help make the empire? NOOOO! REWRITE IT THIS INSTAMT!"

This arc was harder to watch than the one on Umbara.

And that's why I deem Fives as the smartest clone trooper ever made. I mean, can we appreciate the fact that clones like Fives are that capable and intuitive-minded by investigating the insidious plan of Palpatine, while being (unlike the Jedi Order) THIS CLOSE of revealing the truth behind the chips and saving the entire galaxy from Sidious hands?...

I loved how they showed the republic nearly catching on to the ‘order 66’ plot. Really makes you think what could’ve been, eh?

I want an alternate cannon to explore what would have happened if fives hadn't monologued and just mag dumped palpatine before the jedi could stop him

3:20 as soon as you hear his Sidious voice creep in you know ish is about to hit the fan real fast. PS: stop blaming Shaak Ti y’all. There were plenty of chances for the Jedi to save themselves from what was to come, and they failed on multiple occasions.

1:25 you just can see Palpatines anger with the Discovery of the Chips

This scene really just pisses me off. It pisses me off that Fives couldn’t kill Palpatine. It pisses me off that Shaak Ti and the Jedi were so clueless and naive as to what was right in front of their faces.

Darth sidious must have revealed his evil plans to fives off scene without Sha ti noticing it.after that fights decide to escape and explain the whole truth to Anakin and Rex which he failed to do but Rex did realized it at the end.

"Fives, from defend Rishi to discover the Order 66". His biography, a best seller.

After watching this arc, it makes sense why Palpatine has Shaak Ti protect him during the attack on Coruscant: he could have Grievous eliminate the Jedi who was involved with this incident.

The only way Palpatine could look any more evil when he says "where were we?" Would be if his eyes flashed radioactive yellow while saying it.

You know what's really messed up? He told him the truth and let him attack him and run away to make him look like a deranged clone despite Fives knowing the actual truth. Really makes palpatine one twisted dude.

I like how at 1:02 Fives still tries to stand at attention when he sees the Chancellor. He was only trying to do his duty, even to the very end...

UNLIMITED POWER!!!

"Now.... Where were we?"😈

“A separatist plot from before the war? That’s impossible” Me: you do realize the separatist leader is literally someone who used to be on the Jedi and is known for scheming during the war?

*sigh* Sidious has Plot Armor until Episode 6

Tim Curry as Palps is actually a pretty good choice for the character. The voice moulds so well with the character’s whole persona.

Fives is my favorite clone and character, he was so smart

I like how Palpatine told Fives everything because he knew that no one would believe him. Sheev himself has stated that the word of a single senator could influence the minds of millions, so he could have easily made a statement about a rogue clone trooper if he ever wanted to.

This clone had more brain than the entire Jedi order. He had way less ego too.

I wish we could've seen more of Shaak Ti. Maybe a recreation of her duel with Grievous in the order 66 episodes? She's one of my favorite jedi, it's a shame she never got a real duel, and very little screen time

Fives was one second away from ending the war at the cost of his own life :(

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge the master manipulation of Darth Sidious I mean seriously he plays the role of a helpless kind old man perfectly. But underneath the facade is Highly Intelligent Machiavellian who is cold and calculating and will use lies and deceit To achieve his end game

Its unlikely that chancelor is sith lord, right master Shaak Ti?

Nala Se is a really complex character it turns out. Back when these episodes came out I assumed wrongly that Nala Se and the rest of the Kaminoans were just greedy little aholes, but when I think back to the episode when the medical base was being attacked and Nala Se was given the chance to evacuate, she chose to stay with the injured clones even if that meant she would die. And after seeing the first episode of The Bad Batch, how she protected them and Omega, and even with this scene, given what she said the episode prior, I think Nala Se really cared about the clones and would do anything she could to protect them. I think she honestly thought that Fives was a threat. If he somehow convinced the Republic to have the inhibitor chips removed, that could lead to them being aggressive like she said, which would lead to the Republic decommissioning them as the Empire would later do. She also did not trust the Jedi, and probably thought having such a failsafe order should they go rogue was a good idea. From her perspective I can totally get that now. She just didn't know it was part of some grander plot.

2:27 I don't know if that was intentional, but it almost sounds like you can hear the force whaling in the background as if it were in pain. As if Sidious was using force manipulation at an unspeakable level.

All the hate towards Shaak Ti needs to stop. She was fooled just as every other Jedi was.

As futile as this effort was, Rex and Ahsoka owe their lives to this moment. Fives didn’t die in vain. ❤️

4:52 "Oh darn, it's too bad I don't have something to cut open this door"

The fact that palpatine could've defeated him with ease yet decides to play the role so well as to almost dying losing everything in progress is truly such a bold move

Being alone with palpatine,when you only who he is ,in the same room is honestly a horrifying concept

"No... YOU!!!" *Blaster sound* *Force Push Sounds* *Roll credits* After Credits: Count Dooku - "Well shit... that didn't work out like my master expected..."

I wanna point out the brilliance of Fives. One of the many that was of Jango Fett's legacy if being a mandalorian and a clone army. The ARC Troopers were feared by the kaminoans because of their independence. They were feared because they were the next closest thing to being Jango Fett aside of Fordo with the first batch of Clones and the Commandos.

I'm sure I'm not the first one to point this out but that room they brought Fives to looks identical to the one Vader is born in

You know, Palpatine could have told Fives the plot by whispering in his ear so the Shock Troopers wouldn't hear anything.

4:12 thats how i leave my workplace at the end of a day as soon as manager tells to help him with something

I will never forget the tragedy that this led up to. ARC Trooper Fives was the role model of the perfect clone, maybe even better than Rex. He was loyal, smart, calculating, witty, and most importantly, independent. He should have had a more honorable end, one not in some dark warehouse, but with his brothers, on the field of some great battle. We salute you Fives.

You can see how good the clones are at just hand to hand combat without there chips cause they feel no restrictions

Fives was so close to killing darth sidious that it made my anxiety levels go up. Never forget the best Star Wars show.

0:59 right there, he was discreetly using the mind trick to calm him.

Shak ti really just saved the Sith Lord damn

Wouldn't Palpatine just of blocked the blaster shot (or deflected it slightly) if Shaak Ti didn't step in?

What I like to think happened was that Palpatine told Fives about the chips and what he intends to do with them and to show how successful he was turned to the two guards with him and issued an order to them.

I love how the clone talks like a real pilot
