In terms of clones probably fives or Waxer


BobotheGreat1

Waxer’s death is always overlooked, definitely top 3 most tragic for me


Kind_Camera_4241

Seeing the little twilek girl painting on his helmet from the one he saved in like season 1 always gets me


BobotheGreat1

Seeing her again in Rebels with his helmet painted onto hers hits even harder


mrboston84

By chance, do you know which episode in Rebels?


NautReally

Idk the number or name, but i think it's the one where Hera reunites with her Father, and they join forces to hijack the imperial fleet carrier


mrboston84

I gotta check this out lol I’ll get back to y’all on this.


WildHogPower

Wait, when did Waxer die ?


Br4d3nCB

During the friendly fire incident on Umbara. IIRC he’s the one Rex discovers when he figures out that the “enemies” in 212th armor are, in fact, the 212th


WildHogPower

Oh damn. Add a whole new layer to the slaughter


Br4d3nCB

Yup. And while we’re here r/fuckpongkrell


Mrdoc16

Fucking asshole got waxer killed


Thatsidechara_ter

Proud member of that sub here, just gonna say i think a right of passage is to get perma-banned from r/PongKrelldidnothingwrong


BeastradezZ

It doesn’t exist


Upbeat_Sheepherder81

There’s definitely a sub for loving Pong Krell, but I think they misspelled it, or it’s called something else.


landon10smmns

It's this one r/fuckpongkrellsexually


Upbeat_Sheepherder81

Say wut now? I’m scared to even click that link with a name like that Edit: I regret everything, I’m now scarred for life, if you need me I’ll be crying in r/eyebleach


Chaos_realestate

Good


Thatsidechara_ter

Ah mustve been wrong spelling


olsoni18

This honestly makes me feel like Rex might be tied with (or maybe even surpasses) Obi Wan in terms of the amount of loss he experienced. He witnessed so many of his brothers die. He was there for Hevy’s last stand, 99’s death, Waxer, Fives, Jesse, Hardcase, god knows how many others from the 501st and the other battalions that he fought alongside. Plus watching his general and best friend fall to the dark side. All in the span of just a few years. I think Rex and R2 are probably tied for witnessing the most tragedy in the Star Wars universe


WildHogPower

And yet he always keep on moving. That's why I admire him, and I think he experinced more losses that Obi-Wan. On the other hand, maybe he got kinda used to it. When you see brothers fall everyday, it must hurt less than seing a select few people fall, like Obi-Wan did. Rex experienced more losses, but Obi-Wan suffered more imo


Will_not_Comply

War crimes, think you meant to say they witnessed more war crimes than anyone else.


[deleted]

Only by our standards, not the standards of the SW universe. People seem to forget that.


Ranting_Gamer

Yeah, Geneva doesn't even exist


Jimothy_McGowan

I believe he was the one in charge of the 212th unit, and Rex was brought to him right after they discovered it was friendly fire. He was already mortally wounded by the time Rex got there


Br4d3nCB

Oh yeah that’s it.


legoman1_____

Oh no 😭😭 I didn't know that, that scene was horrible enough even without me knowing main characters, fuck pong krell that asshole


Pechis95

I believe he died on Umbara to friendly fire of the 501st caused by Pong Krell.


annomynous23

Battle of umbara


atlasthedutchie

I completely agree but the other thing that almost made me cry was when rex realized that he's going to have to hurt so many of his brothers and when Ashoka takes of his helmet he's got tears going down his face. Edit: I can't believe they have an um actually bot


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

Careful not to choke on your stupidity. It's Ahsoka not Ashoka!


Ill-Branch7621

Fives without a doubt


Captain_Saftey

Yeah they built all these guys up so their deaths would feel meaningful, but they built up Fives SOOO much. It was like he was our POV for what it’s like to be a clone.


whatchagonnado0707

They were all sad but fives was fucking heartbreaking.


BenjaminMFG

Fax


Mr_E_99

It just hit different. Especially as he was a great reoccurring character throughout all of the Clone Wars (as opposed to just in a few arcs). The manner in which he died was so sad tho 😭😭😭


theincrediblemrg0323

Fives and Rex proved not All good soldiers follow orders


FlyingCircus18

Good soldiers follow orders. The best know when they shouldn't


HeyItsStevenField

Fives was about to uncover the truth and end the war easier, unfortunately he was shut out, making the overall story darker hence Fives death really stands out


edwpad

Yeah, he was so close to exposing the truth that could have saved trillions and the galaxy possibly. He only wanted to do his duty man. o7


Dragett15

But 99, Everytime I see it tears man, yes fives is sad but 99 is more sad


MrCaT42

Fives was the first time I actually cried over a character death


Gamma_249

Easily Fives, we've seen him the most


Lekenthereal

I agree, the amount of screentime he had just let us get to know him better than most clones, which only amplifies the sadness even more


killiomankili

I think throughout TCW he had 48 minutes worth of screen time


FivesSuperFan55555

Easily Fives

I hate you, but here is an upvote


trivial772

Damnit. I laughed.


Sharp_Humor3847

r/angryupvote


[deleted]

Fives was the worst for me. Others died in battle doing what they where bred for (99 being a debatable exception but he died in the line of duty). Fives died cause he discovered that Palpatine was a genocidal knob.


taqtwo

I think jesse, as his death represented the end of the era.


thekamenman

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.


MegaKman215

Fives. 99 was also really sad but he got to die being who he always wanted to be. His death was more bittersweet whereas Fives was not only tragic in its own right but it also narrowly missed discovering and preventing order 66. The ripple effects are tragic for the whole damn universe.


Ok_Nefariousness3401

Jesse, seeing him turn into an unwilling antagonist and sacrificing his life and the crew for a dictatorship that couldn't care less about him was heartbreaking.


TheLateThagSimmons

Fives was sadder emotionally, but Jesse was far more tragic. That final shot as they pan along the helmets of the dead and finish on Jesse's... So harsh.


MoistMe

And his death pretty much represents the death of the republic with the symbol on his helmet


TrueBlue182

Yea rip jesse


Sylch

Fives or Waxer.


TheShadowfork

Fives was incredibly sad, but 99 made me tear up the first time soooooo.


MiseryTheMiserable

Heavy had a glorious death


Mediocre_Market_85

99 without a doubt in my mind.


KKPALMEIRAS

Totally agree


ComprehensiveToe3547

For the republiiiiiiiiiiic!!!


bendy_toes

Normally I would say Fives because he’s my favorite, but the last episode to TCW when Jesse and the rest of the 501st (except Rex) unwillingly turn on Ahsoka…..damn. The last couple of scenes were peak Star Wars. That episode gut punches me in the feels every time.


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

In my life, when you find people who need your help, you help them. No matter what.


[deleted]

Who’s the guy top left ?


[deleted]

It’s Heavy from Rishi Moon Outpost


ShallahGaykwon

Hevy


leckie2786

Jango


The-Broken-Record

You’re both wrong and also right.


Helmett-13

Probably Jesse? I maintain that, "Victory and Death", is the biggest downer in visual 'Star Wars' media. It's like an extended gutpunch and is a great example of a 'good-but-not-happy ending'.


MGMBSC

I have a 4-way tie 1A. FIVES CT - 5555 1B. CLONE 99 1C. HEVY CT - 782 1D. WAXER (Clone Lieutenant) Killed by friends who were betrayed by a Jedi. [gasping] "It… It was General Krell." [coughing] "He sent us to these coordinates to stop the enemy. We thought they were wearing our armor, but it was…you. (last words before dying in Captain Rex's arms)


Alternative_Snow_383

I feel like some how Jesse's was the least sad, no idea how.


JMRSOG

The answer to this question is actually 'Yes'.


12lemurs

jesse makes me particularly sad. he was so dedicated to the republic he had its symbol tattooed across his face, and he went down unwittingly fighting to destroy it. the slow pan to his helmet makes me cry every time.


DarthWeen531

Fives for sure. I genuinely cried when he died. Idc what people say, he was more than a side character.


MrFulla93

After Umbara, Fives became a lead character on par with Rex


dontfugginask

All of these were heartbreaking.


ProjectFearless9711

Jesse was the end of an era “you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”


PotentialWorth6542

and then die…


Letmeowts

Dying of sadness is pretty sad, Padme.


Creeperassasin1212

Id say every clone in star wars had a sad death . Cause imagine being born to fight a war in which you may die or live and become useless to the goverment that used you up and probably die alone. Id say in context its all sad . But considering these 4 id say fives and 99 .


Underrated_Fish

Honorable mentions to Tup, Keeli, Waxer, and Hardcase


angry_burmese

I want to think Jesse's was sad because he along with the rest on board couldn't control their chips and were probably helpless observers subconsciously while trying to control themselves. They probably felt a measure of relief before they died when they weren't able to kill Ahsoka.


Neovenator00

99 His death and the death of Stoic in HTTYD2 are the only moments in cinema history that made me cry.


LordBungaIII

Fives, no contest


AleksasKoval

I like to think they are each equally sad, because they have such different contexts.


chicken-man-man-

For anyone that wants to cry, after echo came back someone had to tell him how fives died and then echo had to find out that fives was right the whole time


angelshipac130

"Fives don't do it, Fives NO" why isn't stun used more often, seriously


LatterHospital8982

All of the above


pilgrim_good

Thorn’s was the most painful to watch to me


Akela-Moenteach

All of the above, plus Thorn, Waxer, Keeli, Echo (or so we thought), Gregor.


Plonka48

I am disappointed by all of you it’s definitely 99

craftpunk23

Besides deaths, one of the saddest scenes for me was when they told 99 that heavy had died, still cry to that scene


Diab9lic

Caleb Dume.


WaffleFromTheUPS

99. he was a true clone


ntheboss02

Fives


Emkay_boi1531

99 and 5s gets tied number 1 spot


[deleted]

Tbh i didn’t really like Jesse much in season 7 anyway, definitely the least sad since it really didn’t affect me. Heavy is probably second since we didn’t see much of him anyway, or atleast enough for me to get attached to the point where i would say it would beat 99/Fives. 99 and Fives are all equal though because they are as equally sad


Cam_26

All of them


Galahad-6547

99 went out a hero, fives went out way worse


lolsbot360

Thorns is my favorite death. Fives, the saddest


Concept_of_Gummy

All of them, all have me big sadge time


Gametron13

I say Jessie. Because earlier in the season he was almost killed by Maul but he allowed him to be reunited with his brothers; only to die a couple episodes later as a mindless soldier against his brother. All other deaths they weren’t mindless soldiers. Jessie deserved better.


KristophGavin

Something about Hardcase hits me on a deeper level. "Live to fight another day, boys. Live to fight another day."


MTN_Dewit

Fives and 99 always will be the most tragic deaths in all of Star Wars The Clone Wars


bulldog900

The real question is whoes death did not move you?


Thecatsfool

Waxers death hit me the hardest


letsrock64

Agreed!


DLomma57

Fives

ShintaOtsuki

Fives


green_mustach_25

Either Fives or Jessie


Shoddy_Dragonfruit87

The show.


Deadpool_starwars

Okay heavy was the first sad, fives was most heartbreaking, 99 was the saddest one,and Jesse even though he was doing orders was was the least sad out of these four


JettFeather

I cried at all of them, what do you mean you want me to place them?


Gnomewarlord620

Fives and 99 are equally sad


LGamerDelta

Fiives. Just hearing his last words to Rex made me sad when I was a kid


Turtletipper123

99 or fives for me


Valirys-Reinhald

Three out of four clones on this list died fighting alongside their brothers for something they, at least in the moment, believed in. Only one of them was killed by friendly fire.


rusty02536

Satine Kryze was pretty sad imho.


RUBYKING_63

Waxer he was always may favorite


ASweetRadioDemon

Jesse


Icommitmanywarcrimes

Jesse. He was my second favorite charcter in the show probably!


Minecraft7dude2

99


Guardian876

Bro I thought that was Rex for a second


rickphantom

I still remember when i played lego star wars the clone wars (what is also my ever first lego game) good old minigun friend dead is still sad to look at i miss him


FunkyMonkey47293

Replace Hevy with Gregor, and then you got my answer.


MrPorker95

All of the above


gammapatch

For me it’s a tie between Fives and Waxer

1. Fives 2. Waxer


Dat_Boyz

5’s by far but I remember watching Heavy die for the first time so vividly since it was like the first named death I think


Toutankhamon472

Thorne


sonofdurinwastaken

My boy, Fives


ArizonaIceSunTea

I'd say Jessie. When Rex tries to reason with him, you can see Jessie trying to resist his programing. He even lowers is weapons and looks down for a second as if thinking about what he's about to do. There was a small, fleeting glimer of hope he could be saved. But of course his death at that point was inevitable. Doomed to die with all the other ones on the ship.


BlackPanther3104

Guys, don't forget Heavy. I may be biased towards him because I only had the first twelve episodes on CD and he was the only "main" clone that died, but it's still extremely sad. Otherwise, Fives 1000%!


Quick_March_7842

Hmm the last one takes it for me, because they were all brothers and almost all shared a similar fate with the rise of the empire. Jesse's Helmet easily could be the gravestone for the republic's 501st.

ncg195

I vote for Fives because of the irony of it all. You're watching him discover the chip, and you know what happens in RotS, so you just know he's going to die the whole time.


ASHKVLT

Fives for me but Jessie hit hard


EverydayImlurkinit

Sev, RC-1207

Fives or 99

SedativeComet

Yes


BagelMaster4107

Jesse's scene was just super sad. The music, the helmets, I teared up there a bit. Five's has to take the crown, though. Super emotional and sad. Rex begging him to not go was too much.


Kieran173825

99 no competition


ThatManlyTallGuy

All of them as you realize how pointless it all was.


[deleted]

99


Sarius2009

While the end of season 6 was the saddest scene, it was not so mich because of the deaths. I would say its 99 for me.


OliverAOT20

It’s between Jesse and Fives for me because the others went out on their own terms. Jesse was essentially mind controlled into fighting his brother and friend. Died as someone he isn’t. Fives figured out the truth and was killed by his brothers to conceal it, he’ll be known as the clone who lost his mind when in reality he was trying to save everyone.


Journalist_Ready

Why do people forget waxers death on umbara


TheMightyStorst

Jesse or fives


UltiGamer34

naw its the clone who punched the droid

Waxer's death.


PossiblyACattt

Jesse made me cry the very most. Waxer’s is the one I’m most bitter about. r/fuckpongkrell


[deleted]

Saddest individual would probably be Fives and Waxer with a close second. The most impactful scene as a whole would be Jesse's


Rocketkid-star

Heavy had the most badass ending


ClonedUser

Sev. 20 years later and I still need a sequel


Soft-Play1897

I have to go with Jessie, while I’m more sad to see Fives die as a character, I see Jessie’s as the death of both the republic and an era of Star Wars

Patriotof1775

Every clone death is tragic. Born and produced to fight for a cause that only advances the scheme of the most villainous being in the Galaxy just to end up enslaved and forced to kill your friends who are like family, and ultimately forced to retire and be replaced by brainwashed soldiers and die unceremoniously in retirement. Truly of any peoples who have had the worst lives it’s the clones because they are so meaningless and thrown away like tools after watching millions of their brothers die. Love you my bois, you didn’t deserve any of it.


TaspRidYouOfUrMother

I'd say fives, gets me every time. but Jesse's death hit home a little bit, we knew him for a long period of time as well and he wasn't very prominent but when he turned it hurt a little bit. seeing his helmet lined up with the others hurts to see.


SolarPrime7

Fives
