While the clone army was pretty unethical, in defense of the republic and Jedi, they never actually wanted a clone army in the first place.. It just showed up out of nowhere and since they were in a war with a huge droid army, you can certainly understand why they used it..
And, several Jedi and Republic officers treated their Clones pretty well and actually cared for them, so it really wasn't all that bad for the Clones, at least the ones that got put under the command of a good or kind leader, for those that ended up with people like Krell and Tarkin well there lives pretty much sucked and were slavery in every definition of the word.
ZexalBrony479 Several Jedi? Ummmmm I’m not saying all Jedi treated them well (because that’s not true), but much more then “several” Jedi treated them well..
@@cancelanime1507 Yeah, I know a lot of Jedi did, but I didn't know the exact number so I just said several to cover my bases. Personally, I've always felt it was about 50:50, maybe 60:40 in terms of the good treating Clone Jedi compared to the bad, but that's just my own personal estimate.
ZexalBrony479 actually most Jedi, while they weren’t exactly mean or cruel to their subordinates, as per the Jedi code they tried to emotionally distance themselves from them. And a lot of them simply viewed the clones as organic droids. It’s part of why so many clones enjoyed gunning down their generals in Order 66. The majority of the Jedi generals were not like anakin or plo koon. In addition to this most of them were really incompetent military leaders as well which bred resentment among those that served under them. The thing is in the Clone Wars tv show we don’t often see this side of it which is why the misconception of the Jedi being kind and caring commanders is so common.

Jedi Master Ronhar Kim’s entire clone trooper unit was wiped out during the Battle of Merson, a setup orchestrated by Palpatine to silence the Jedi and his idea to uncover Darth Sidious. The Hypori Taskforce was wiped out by Grievous’ droid armies and must have contained a sizeable number of clone troopers considering it was lead by 5 Jedi Generals and 1 Padawan Commander. Yavin Team. When Anakin disobeyed Obi-Wan’s orders and tracked a mysterious enemy pilot away from Muunilinst, Kenobi sent a unit of clone troopers to follow Anakin. On Yavin IV all of the troopers would be killed one by one by an unseen assassin.

Hmm surprised they didn't mention the Venator class Cruiser the Endurance as it was lost after it's engines were sabotaged too & the skeleton crew was also massacred after force landing by bounty hunters. Anyone else get the tingles watching that officer stay with his heavily damaged ship almost like some of the officers in The Great War. edit: crew
Its sad Im in season 6 of a rewatch, they come so close to finding things out but Old Palpy is a smooth talker and has so many assets by the end of the war, everything can be covered up and disguised. Also made me realize, so many clones that you end up "knowing" die in the most unceremonious of ways...
Yeah it’s called bad writing. People confused arrogance and hypocrisy with stupidity. They’re supposed to be the first two, but the fact they could piece together the obvious details just makes them looks stupid.
Actually, most of these clones were probably recognized as martyrs by the Republic media. And after the Clone Wars, Emperor Palpatine spoke of these men as if they were heroes during the rise of the New Order. He spoke about how many of these brave men have died bringing order to the galaxy. He stated that the people of the Empire would do well to remember and follow in their example. So these clone units were not forgotten: Palpatine merely made them into Imperial saints, holding them up as examples for the Empire's citizens and soldiers to follow. At least in Legends, that is. Also, much of the literature that paints the Jedi as being careless with their clones comes from Karen Traviss, an author who hated the Jedi. Which was why Lucas retconned her works in the Clone Wars show, because she portrayed the Jedi as heartless savages, when in reality, the Jedi were self-sacrificing lemmings who even acted as bullet sponges for their clone armies. So that shit about Commandos dying like flies on Geonosis is something I don't count. Most likely, the commando units Mace was given were the troops that won the first Battle of Geonosis on the classic Battlefront 1, nowhere near the massacre that Traviss proclaimed it was.
Actually the first battle of Geonosis was actually that bad for the clone commandos as it was that bad for every single clone unit. Most of not all Clone Forces that were on the battlefield at that time (which was pretty much all of them) were cut to bare minimum 50% of their total force. Every squad Battalion Unit and Army was basically Thanos Snapped including the Commandos which like is said in the video was because they were simply made to charge the enemy. Some units like those in the Battlefield 1 game faired a bit better but commandos are meant for infiltration sneaky missions in a sense. They are sent out in 4,5 men teams deep into enemy territory taught to be quiet sneaky and to basically handle being out numbered...but they weren't doing any of that. They werent being used the way they were literally breed for instead they were tossed in with the rest of the basic grunts treated like a basic grunt and sent out to charge the enemy and die like a basic grunt.
@@tomoyukisaito5275 I don't consider Karen Traviss' writing to be canon. Clone commandos are quite literally the clone equivalent of Droidekas, perfect for frontline duty due to their armor and heavier weapons.
A moment of silence for all the 501st legion and 212th battalion troopers such as waxer and hardcase that died on umbara because of pong krell and,umbarans,and the separatist
@Rusher Ranker7 when I say the separatist I mean the droid army for example 99,heavy,were killed by droids and hardcase was forced to sacrifice himself because the droids put up a shield on the main reactor
@Rusher Ranker7 Yes many of the planets had legitimate claims and yes the republic was corrupt (so were CIS they were run by the corporations) and turned to the empire which was the bad parts of all of them. However the leadership/military action of the CIS was far worse then the GRA, then the Empire basically combined the 2 and made everything worse.
Lets take a moment of silence for the clones who risked their lives for the republic and to democracy. The sad truth is that these soldiers were basically made to die in battle and were the equivalent of slaves to the jedi. We lost a lot of good men, some eating ewok meat to survive.
@@goldfishprime true, then when some became inquisitors or vader they remained slaves while the clones became the slaves of the empire until they surved their purpose and regular people became the slaves
clone troopers: nooooo you can't just send clone commandos to the front lines! they are designed for reconnaissance and behind enemy lines missions! jedi:haha clone commandos go bbbrrrrrrrrrr.
A Clone Trooper gets killed Audiences: So what? It’s just some random Clone Trooper. Hardcore Fans who watched Clone Wars: “Careful, he’s a hero. A TRUE HERO.”
Well, for the Ryloth one, she learned her lesson and they were spectacle of the plan. She even redeemed herself by pulling an Anakin Skywalker, using the Venator as a shield to take down the six Munificent class frigates. She even was mourning the loss of her squadron, so punishing her would be overkill when she would be doing it for you. Plus, the second time she got overconfident like that, she was punished. So, they didn't always get her off the hook.
@@smdavis6604, don't forget that in Fall of Reach, Chief dented the metal in a prototype suit of Mjolnir armor during a training exercise without his suit on in a few punches, and then ripped the gatling gun the suit had off of its turret.
Sad Turtle Two actually; Kickback and Swoop. That said, the rest were wiped out including Axe: their original leader, so Blue Squadron is pretty much out of commission unless new pilots come in to replace the clones killed in action.
Felucia is Vietnam; in ancient times 10,000 roman legionnaires just vanished; and combat on the planet, sounds almost stolen from accounts of Vietnam vets.
I never got why they feared the Melevolance so much. You dont need fighters, just attack with capital ships from multiple directions. It can only target one at a time and then has to charge up again. And it cant focus its fire on the disabled ship, because the other ones could close in during that time.
The issue was that it was slightly stronger...only slightly stronger then what was for the norm and the clones slash jedi were not prepared for something like that. Not to mention before they ended up actually ambushing the meveloance themselves each engagement that ship was a part of was it ambushing Republic ships without them knowing anything was different until out of no where BOOM your entire ship is dead. Even if he appeared in the middle of a fleet of Republic ships and they tried to do that tactic. They would move so slowly tryong to incircle Grevious that by the time.any of them get close enough he would be able to fire again. That is something Anakin and crew should of thought of when they decided to ambush grevious but instead just went the spear head option like they always basicsllh do
Not all of green company was killed, you can see a couple clones with gree after all the droids were destroyed Edit: also 3 fighters from Ashoka’s wing survived
Fun fact: Ahsoka's blue squadron wasn't completely wiped out. Two clones survived, Kickback and Swoop. However, all eight other squadron members were Killed In Action
Did the clones morn when *Jango Fett* was killed in the very first engagement in the first battle of Geonosis? _He was the closest thing all of them would ever have to a father._ Any clones left at the arena would've recognised Bobba as a young fellow clone, and if they had seen Jango's helmet removed, they may have had a shock - some may have even recognised the armour from Jango's time on Komino. They helped kill their dad.
He was kind of an asshole when he was training them. He even put the clone commandos through LIVE-FIRE EXERCISE. So I don't think there was any lost love between the clones and their genetic ancestor.
@@HolyknightVader999 Given that clones know their trained for war and nothing else, I highly doubt they would be against live fire exercise's. They probably welcomed it, better to be under live fire for the first time in training than on the battlefield.
@@violentscorl697 Thats really not true. When solitary animals have kids, we would still refer to the male parent as the father. We refer to the biological male parent of orphans as their 'real father'. Father clearly doesnt need to be the one who raises a kid.
You forgot Captain Keeli and Jedi general Ima Gun Di. I will admit you disappointed me this time. Also, Gree’s battalion wasn’t wiped out. One last thing, did anyone notice that after a Jedi died, when a council was held they were back in their seats. (Clone wars tv show)
You forgot about Jedi Knight Jor Drakas' forces in Sarapin. Weeks after the First Battle of Geonosis, a Chiss Sith Warrior fighting under the banner of the Confederacy named Sev'rance Tann invaded the core world Sarapin, which provided core worlds like Coruscant with a huge chunk of its power. Sev'rance and her forces penetrated the orbital defense grid, annihilating its Clone defenders and torpedo batteries with Confederate warships and Geonosian starfighters. She then invaded the planet surface using Decimator tanks that she stole from the Republic in a previous mission. Sev'rance and her forces annihilated the clone legion on the planet and killed Jor Drakas in single combat at the Citadel in Mt. Corvast. This caused a massive shutdown of power in core worlds like Coruscant, and riots exploded on the streets. Sev'rance Tann's campaign dealt a severe blow to the Republic mere weeks after the war started, and this was after she destroyed two more clone units: one on Eredenn Prime, and another one on Tatooine. Together, Sev'rance destroyed three clone units, mere weeks after the war began. Now that's what you call efficiency. Had she survived and fought the later stages of the Clone Wars, I'm certain that even General Grievous would be taking orders from her, and Sev'rance would be Dooku's top general, not Grievous. In the end, the Republic sent Jedi General Echuu Shen-Jon against Sev'rance Tann, mostly because Sev'rance killed Echuu's Padawan at the Battle of Geonosis and the Jedi Council hoped to use Echuu's desire for revenge as a weapon. It worked, and Echuu was able to retake Sarapin for the Republic and eventually defeat Sev'rance Tann on Krant, but not before she kidnapped Echuu's second padawan and nearly brought him over to the Dark Side. Echuu then scrambled his clone unit to save his second Padawan, and when Mace Windu questioned his actions, Shen-Jon questioned Windu about how the latter sacrificed legions of Clones and Jedi on Geonosis to save Obi-Wan and Anakin. Echuu killed Sev'rance in single combat, but the damage was done, and Echuu was consumed by the Dark Side. He exiled himself on the planet Krant, and he would not surface until the days of the Galactic Civil War.
Can you do a what if video about what if a huge Droid rebellion had happened in the CIS during the Clone Wars? Also I'm refering to the EU version of the CIS.
I can still remember those screams on Felucia.. “These things are everywhere!!” “Our troops are getting slaughtered! GET UP THERE!” “Where are they..?! Oh no, THEY’RE ALL DEAD!!”
Senne Scholten It was when Anakin was in the LAAT, I forget the exact planet’s name, but I’m fairly certain it was the one they were fighting for with the medical plant
Laser Company served under Kit Fisto and during a battle on Kessel the entire company was wiped out except for one clone named Checkers who after the battle requested a transfer to the 501st and Torrent Company. The company was then rebuilt by Fisto but having no original members after Checkers had left.
Plokun (sorry if I spelled his name wrong) was out gunned and had no way to stop the destruction of his fleet. In my opinion plokun did deserve to be on here.
I like how the Felicia deaths were basically a star wars version of I believe it was called Roanoke were settlers came but just randomly disappeared without a trace
You forgot to mention the episode where Boba Fett attempts to assassinate Mace Windu (The Clone Wars). The ship explodes and Jango's son escapes. Thousands of troopers are killed or missing
11:29:Commander thorn is an excellent commander,honestly if he survived that I bet he would of became Marshal ARC Commander and gotten control Of all shock troopers on coruasant
Or Horn Company. We know some of them survived Eeth Koth’s capture but we didn’t see them again after that, so they might have been able to fit this list
I have a question, how powerful are Mandalorians fighters, cruisers and capital ships like the Keldabe-Class battleship. If you were to have a space battles between the mandalorians and the galactic empire, what will be the casualties and who would actually win ?
Honorable mention to Domino Squad, made up of the 5 Clone brothers Fives, Echo, Heavy, Cutup, and Droidbait. Their first mission was meant to be easy, man a listening post and watch out for Separatists, but Grievous was on the march. Commando Droids infiltrated the base, cutting down Droidbait, and forcing the Dominos to flee. Not catching a break, the Dominos are then attacked by a giant worm, Cutup being swallowed, before the rest were rescued by Rex and Cody. Retaking the listening post, they realize that Grievous had already moved his forces into position and locked down communication with the Republic, leaving the Dominos the only option to blow up the listening post to alert the Republic, but due to a malfunction with the bomb trigger, Heavy had to detonate the bomb manually. The Republic won the battle, but the damage would be felt long after for Clones.
The Galactic Republic should have cared about the clones because technically they are human even though they have the same genetics as one human. They are bred from one and they are their troops that are being put in battle and winning it, you only have so much resources to make them. They also still have feelings and can be hurt mentally and physically just like any other person and can still have friends who are also in the clone army. They can also still make families and know when things are going south.
I just love how loyal clones are and how they have this sense where they always fight together die together.
It's the comradery, duty, & honor of all soldiers, who follow the Warrior's Path.
It is the path few civilians will understand, & even far less, will even take up its yoke.
To die well for one another in combat, that one's nation's peoples, customs, way of life, safety, & security, their is no greater sacrfice of love. It is perhaps love, in its truest form incarnate.
Unfortunately it is far to easily used, abused, & forgotten, by those who would be, usurpers, & cowards, in their selfish arrogance, & narcissism.
One needs only to look at humanity's bloody history. Reguardless of it's many cultures, ALL peoples are guilty of this attrition. Especially those, who would turn their backs upon history, for present comfort.

Yavin Team. When Anakin disobeyed Obi-Wan’s orders and tracked a mysterious enemy pilot away from Muunilinst, Kenobi sent a unit of clone troopers to follow Anakin. On Yavin IV all of the troopers would be killed one by one by an unseen assassin.
Lol I remember Yavin team, Ventress used the force to make one fly.
Good note about the Yavin team. Thanks for the reminder.
What about Ima Gun Di and Keeli company, literally no one survived, even their fleet was wiped out.
What if luke was trained from birth
What if padme never died
What if maul and savage killed sidious
What if mace windu trained anakin
What if maul killed obi wan
What if ahsoka raised luke
What if yoda killed sidous
What if obi wan used form 5 dejem so
What if anakin was never a slave
What about the droid attack on the Wookies?
@@macewindu3492 that would be a cool idea
@@fulcrum9510 the 'what if I trained Anakin' Was done by Star Wars Theory a few years back. It's pretty good
Mace Windu and it went a _lot_ better for the Jedi 😂😂😂
@@patchworkfellow yes. Yes it did
Hmm surprised they didn't mention the Venator class Cruiser the Endurance as it was lost after it's engines were sabotaged too & the skeleton crew was also massacred after force landing by bounty hunters.
Anyone else get the tingles watching that officer stay with his heavily damaged ship almost like some of the officers in The Great War.
edit: crew
The more Allen talks the more I realize that the Republic should've known something was going on
Palpatine WAS the Republic. And he had the Jedi in hook, line and sinker.
Its sad Im in season 6 of a rewatch, they come so close to finding things out but Old Palpy is a smooth talker and has so many assets by the end of the war, everything can be covered up and disguised.
Also made me realize, so many clones that you end up "knowing" die in the most unceremonious of ways...
yeah they figure the Sith lord is playing both sides in the last season.
even tho the dumbasses were told many times prior by Dooku.
Yeah it’s called bad writing. People confused arrogance and hypocrisy with stupidity. They’re supposed to be the first two, but the fact they could piece together the obvious details just makes them looks stupid.
Actually, most of these clones were probably recognized as martyrs by the Republic media. And after the Clone Wars, Emperor Palpatine spoke of these men as if they were heroes during the rise of the New Order. He spoke about how many of these brave men have died bringing order to the galaxy. He stated that the people of the Empire would do well to remember and follow in their example. So these clone units were not forgotten: Palpatine merely made them into Imperial saints, holding them up as examples for the Empire's citizens and soldiers to follow. At least in Legends, that is.
Also, much of the literature that paints the Jedi as being careless with their clones comes from Karen Traviss, an author who hated the Jedi. Which was why Lucas retconned her works in the Clone Wars show, because she portrayed the Jedi as heartless savages, when in reality, the Jedi were self-sacrificing lemmings who even acted as bullet sponges for their clone armies. So that shit about Commandos dying like flies on Geonosis is something I don't count. Most likely, the commando units Mace was given were the troops that won the first Battle of Geonosis on the classic Battlefront 1, nowhere near the massacre that Traviss proclaimed it was.
Actually the first battle of Geonosis was actually that bad for the clone commandos as it was that bad for every single clone unit. Most of not all Clone Forces that were on the battlefield at that time (which was pretty much all of them) were cut to bare minimum 50% of their total force. Every squad Battalion Unit and Army was basically Thanos Snapped including the Commandos which like is said in the video was because they were simply made to charge the enemy. Some units like those in the Battlefield 1 game faired a bit better but commandos are meant for infiltration sneaky missions in a sense. They are sent out in 4,5 men teams deep into enemy territory taught to be quiet sneaky and to basically handle being out numbered...but they weren't doing any of that. They werent being used the way they were literally breed for instead they were tossed in with the rest of the basic grunts treated like a basic grunt and sent out to charge the enemy and die like a basic grunt.
@@tomoyukisaito5275 I don't consider Karen Traviss' writing to be canon. Clone commandos are quite literally the clone equivalent of Droidekas, perfect for frontline duty due to their armor and heavier weapons.

A moment of silence for all the 501st legion and 212th battalion troopers such as waxer and hardcase that died on umbara because of pong krell and,umbarans,and the separatist
@Victor Nikolai i dont think you know what the 501 first did during the war as they always helped the people unless they were fighting against them
@Rusher Ranker7 when I say the separatist I mean the droid army for example 99,heavy,were killed by droids and hardcase was forced to sacrifice himself because the droids put up a shield on the main reactor
@Rusher Ranker7 They only enslaved and exterminated populations that opposed them...
@Rusher Ranker7 Yes many of the planets had legitimate claims and yes the republic was corrupt (so were CIS they were run by the corporations) and turned to the empire which was the bad parts of all of them.
However the leadership/military action of the CIS was far worse then the GRA, then the Empire basically combined the 2 and made everything worse.
@Rusher Ranker7 Yes! For the EMPIRE!
Lets take a moment of silence for the clones who risked their lives for the republic and to democracy.
The sad truth is that these soldiers were basically made to die in battle and were the equivalent of slaves to the jedi.
We lost a lot of good men, some eating ewok meat to survive.
edge lord Aren’t the Jedi technically slaves too?
They were slaves to the Republic just like the Jedi were a d later became slaves of the Empire
Also Ewok meat is a delicacy so why you making it seem like they're starving, it's like you don't know much about Star Wars at all
They were slaves to Palpatine. The Jedi were just taskmasters, the Chancellor was the owner.
@@goldfishprime true, then when some became inquisitors or vader they remained slaves while the clones became the slaves of the empire until they surved their purpose and regular people became the slaves
clone troopers: nooooo you can't just send clone commandos to the front lines! they are designed for reconnaissance and behind enemy lines missions!
jedi:haha clone commandos go bbbrrrrrrrrrr.
"Ahsoka Wing", or Blue Squadron wasn't wiped out. Two out of six of the squadron's members survived, Kickback and Swoop.
RIP Axe.
Ahsoka should have been executed

“Careful, he’s a hero. A TRUE HERO.”
Generation tech can do a video on what you would do if you were put in charge of the GAR or the Imperial army
Well, for the Ryloth one, she learned her lesson and they were spectacle of the plan. She even redeemed herself by pulling an Anakin Skywalker, using the Venator as a shield to take down the six Munificent class frigates. She even was mourning the loss of her squadron, so punishing her would be overkill when she would be doing it for you. Plus, the second time she got overconfident like that, she was punished. So, they didn't always get her off the hook.
Are Spartan's 2s physically stronger then Terminator T-850s?
Who knows.
No. Hydraulics beat flesh, every time.
It's been said that Spartans 2s can destroy a Terminator with their superhuman strength and speed.
Along with the fact that they can punch through metal as seen with master chief in the ending of Halo 3.
@@smdavis6604, don't forget that in Fall of Reach, Chief dented the metal in a prototype suit of Mjolnir armor during a training exercise without his suit on in a few punches, and then ripped the gatling gun the suit had off of its turret.
Republic when they loses a single Venator with a lot of clones in it: "dont care + ratio"
I could have sworn that at least one of Asoka’s wingmen survived
Sad Turtle Two actually; Kickback and Swoop. That said, the rest were wiped out including Axe: their original leader, so Blue Squadron is pretty much out of commission unless new pilots come in to replace the clones killed in action.
@@asm4991 I originally thought too but I always second-guess myself thanks bud
Thank you for bringing Omega Squad into this. I love everything they are. Inspiration for Delta, and all the Clone Commandos. Love those books.
Felucia is Vietnam; in ancient times 10,000 roman legionnaires just vanished; and combat on the planet, sounds almost stolen from accounts of Vietnam vets.
Umbara ?
Felicia for disease and look, umbara for enemy troops and tactics used by said troops (very Viet Cong esque)
"For the Republic!!" -Commander Thorn
The 332nd Company (Ahsoka's men) are certainly among the units that were completely wiped out.
The way you spoke about Topal was hilarious. Gotta love perspective
I miss my brothers everyday even tho I’m dead 😔😞😞😞
Wtf a whole battalion just disappeared on Felucia. 10,000 clone troopers, just gone. With only traces of their disappearance
Great vid GenTech! I liked your comments on Ahsoka's refusal to obey her unit's recall order.
What actually happens to a clones body when they die?
I know with droids they could be scavenged and melted down but what about clone bodies
Nothing. They were left
@@lukeobornik5015 or the bodies get recycle for useful biomass
@@kiankier7330 that's how they feed the other troops
@@lukeobornik5015 No, that's what the wookies were for.
It's revealed that the bodies are "recycled".
Ashoka's wing was not completely wiped out, 2 pilots survived.
I never got why they feared the Melevolance so much.
You dont need fighters, just attack with capital ships from multiple directions. It can only target one at a time and then has to charge up again. And it cant focus its fire on the disabled ship, because the other ones could close in during that time.
well it can fire its shots in two directions. but it also has alot of conventional firepower as well.
And three pursuing Venators couldn't even disable its engines from concentrated fire.
The issue was that it was slightly stronger...only slightly stronger then what was for the norm and the clones slash jedi were not prepared for something like that. Not to mention before they ended up actually ambushing the meveloance themselves each engagement that ship was a part of was it ambushing Republic ships without them knowing anything was different until out of no where BOOM your entire ship is dead. Even if he appeared in the middle of a fleet of Republic ships and they tried to do that tactic. They would move so slowly tryong to incircle Grevious that by the time.any of them get close enough he would be able to fire again. That is something Anakin and crew should of thought of when they decided to ambush grevious but instead just went the spear head option like they always basicsllh do
About "Ahsoka Wing". Not the whole unit was wiped out but most of them were. Two pilots survived.
Thank You for doing whatcha do man
6:09 thank you for helping us explain, Leia
Me, a Halo and Star Wars fan: WHY IS THERE TWO HALSEYS!!! *Confused screaming*
RIP clone boi you will always be remembered
10:58 Those two clone troopers were Sinker and Boost.
We used to have one of the most succesful clans on the classic Battlefront II dedicated to the 182nd Legion. I still wear its tag today.
Not all of green company was killed, you can see a couple clones with gree after all the droids were destroyed
Edit: also 3 fighters from Ashoka’s wing survived
Fun fact:
Ahsoka's blue squadron wasn't completely wiped out. Two clones survived, Kickback and Swoop. However, all eight other squadron members were Killed In Action
What about Commander Keeli's 303rd?
Biggest loss of troops not in the clone wars but during the Empire. Every stormtrooper on the first death star.
Did the clones morn when *Jango Fett* was killed in the very first engagement in the first battle of Geonosis?
_He was the closest thing all of them would ever have to a father._
Any clones left at the arena would've recognised Bobba as a young fellow clone, and if they had seen Jango's helmet removed, they may have had a shock - some may have even recognised the armour from Jango's time on Komino.
They helped kill their dad.
casbott A father is the one who _raises_ a kid. Jango had little to nothing to do with the clones. They didn’t care for him as such
He was kind of an asshole when he was training them. He even put the clone commandos through LIVE-FIRE EXERCISE. So I don't think there was any lost love between the clones and their genetic ancestor.
@@HolyknightVader999 Given that clones know their trained for war and nothing else, I highly doubt they would be against live fire exercise's. They probably welcomed it, better to be under live fire for the first time in training than on the battlefield.
@@violentscorl697 Thats really not true. When solitary animals have kids, we would still refer to the male parent as the father. We refer to the biological male parent of orphans as their 'real father'. Father clearly doesnt need to be the one who raises a kid.
@@lenkagamine4145 No, they weren't loving it. Some even died.
There isn't enough money in this world to fulfill a star wars fan's demands and requests for the franchise.

Not gonna lie, was not expecting my favorite clone squad Omega to be on this list
You forgot Captain Keeli and Jedi general Ima Gun Di. I will admit you disappointed me this time. Also, Gree’s battalion wasn’t wiped out. One last thing, did anyone notice that after a Jedi died, when a council was held they were back in their seats. (Clone wars tv show)
It was just one company form Gree's battalion.
You forgot about Jedi Knight Jor Drakas' forces in Sarapin. Weeks after the First Battle of Geonosis, a Chiss Sith Warrior fighting under the banner of the Confederacy named Sev'rance Tann invaded the core world Sarapin, which provided core worlds like Coruscant with a huge chunk of its power. Sev'rance and her forces penetrated the orbital defense grid, annihilating its Clone defenders and torpedo batteries with Confederate warships and Geonosian starfighters. She then invaded the planet surface using Decimator tanks that she stole from the Republic in a previous mission. Sev'rance and her forces annihilated the clone legion on the planet and killed Jor Drakas in single combat at the Citadel in Mt. Corvast. This caused a massive shutdown of power in core worlds like Coruscant, and riots exploded on the streets. Sev'rance Tann's campaign dealt a severe blow to the Republic mere weeks after the war started, and this was after she destroyed two more clone units: one on Eredenn Prime, and another one on Tatooine. Together, Sev'rance destroyed three clone units, mere weeks after the war began. Now that's what you call efficiency. Had she survived and fought the later stages of the Clone Wars, I'm certain that even General Grievous would be taking orders from her, and Sev'rance would be Dooku's top general, not Grievous.
In the end, the Republic sent Jedi General Echuu Shen-Jon against Sev'rance Tann, mostly because Sev'rance killed Echuu's Padawan at the Battle of Geonosis and the Jedi Council hoped to use Echuu's desire for revenge as a weapon. It worked, and Echuu was able to retake Sarapin for the Republic and eventually defeat Sev'rance Tann on Krant, but not before she kidnapped Echuu's second padawan and nearly brought him over to the Dark Side. Echuu then scrambled his clone unit to save his second Padawan, and when Mace Windu questioned his actions, Shen-Jon questioned Windu about how the latter sacrificed legions of Clones and Jedi on Geonosis to save Obi-Wan and Anakin. Echuu killed Sev'rance in single combat, but the damage was done, and Echuu was consumed by the Dark Side. He exiled himself on the planet Krant, and he would not surface until the days of the Galactic Civil War.
HolyknightVader999 You’re right. It’s amazing how you can recall all of this Legends material. Props to you

Senne Scholten It was when Anakin was in the LAAT, I forget the exact planet’s name, but I’m fairly certain it was the one they were fighting for with the medical plant
Thorn’s squad. Died fighting to the last man like true champs. They got balls, they got drip. They guard THE senate. And they have Red Bull energy
nice video also only 2 comments, early for once
Everytime a nameless clone dies it upsets me.
Laser Company served under Kit Fisto and during a battle on Kessel the entire company was wiped out except for one clone named Checkers who after the battle requested a transfer to the 501st and Torrent Company. The company was then rebuilt by Fisto but having no original members after Checkers had left.
The 501st on fucking knight fall. Nobody protected those books.
Clones usually die after getting shot once but Thorne perished after five shots …..
Wow you don’t see that in every clone !
i counted 4
The destruction Thorne's squad was definitively the saddest. 😭
Felucia, unofficially know as "The 'Nam of Star Wars." Send in an entire battalion, and they just... Disappear.
From what I remember at Sev made it his goal to get the same number of kills at the end of the war to the number of commandos that died on Geonosis
Plokun (sorry if I spelled his name wrong) was out gunned and had no way to stop the destruction of his fleet. In my opinion plokun did deserve to be on here.
I like how the Felicia deaths were basically a star wars version of I believe it was called Roanoke were settlers came but just randomly disappeared without a trace
You forgot to mention the episode where Boba Fett attempts to assassinate Mace Windu (The Clone Wars). The ship explodes and Jango's son escapes. Thousands of troopers are killed or missing
11:29:Commander thorn is an excellent commander,honestly if he survived that I bet he would of became Marshal ARC Commander and gotten control
Of all shock troopers on coruasant
Ahsoka learned her lesson and became aware of the cost of war and thus she became a better commander who cared for her troops
still was a unique experience and they had Private / Sergeant Zim voice him way to go
Stay strong out there my brothers, and keep fighting the fight. FOR THE REPUBLIC
Ah yes, I love the 10 whole seconds of canonical seconds we get to see delta squad
When you see Commando Clones you know that the shit hit the fan.
No list like this is complete without mentioning Domino Squad and the Umbara campaign.
great video
Fun fact, once all clones were discarded, all clone legions were destroyed
Or Horn Company. We know some of them survived Eeth Koth’s capture but we didn’t see them again after that, so they might have been able to fit this list
You know what they say.
If her top's a tube, your commander is a noob.
I’m that guy who’d chose the random nameless clone troopers life over any Jedi. I guess I just share Jango’s hate of the Jedi slavers
Not "triumphant crew" but 104th battalion. Only Plo and 3 clones survived from what seems to be over 20k man
Rip Jesse and the 332nd clone company that was under ahsoka tano
The council should’ve taken more notice of these units, imagine if one of them just said “no we’re not doing it” then they’ll take notice
The outpost that was attack by commando droids leaving only Fives and Echo the sole survivors
I have a question, how powerful are Mandalorians fighters, cruisers and capital ships like the Keldabe-Class battleship. If you were to have a space battles between the mandalorians and the galactic empire, what will be the casualties and who would actually win ?
Could be an interesting topic to discuss. If both nations have the same ability to produce ships and have the same potential income.
@@jeanculet8973 Oh yeah like what would happened if a Keldabe or Kandosii battleships fight against the Imperial 1 or 2 class star destroyer
Honorable mention to Domino Squad, made up of the 5 Clone brothers Fives, Echo, Heavy, Cutup, and Droidbait. Their first mission was meant to be easy, man a listening post and watch out for Separatists, but Grievous was on the march. Commando Droids infiltrated the base, cutting down Droidbait, and forcing the Dominos to flee. Not catching a break, the Dominos are then attacked by a giant worm, Cutup being swallowed, before the rest were rescued by Rex and Cody. Retaking the listening post, they realize that Grievous had already moved his forces into position and locked down communication with the Republic, leaving the Dominos the only option to blow up the listening post to alert the Republic, but due to a malfunction with the bomb trigger, Heavy had to detonate the bomb manually.
The Republic won the battle, but the damage would be felt long after for Clones.
The Galactic Republic should have cared about the clones because technically they are human even though they have the same genetics as one human. They are bred from one and they are their troops that are being put in battle and winning it, you only have so much resources to make them. They also still have feelings and can be hurt mentally and physically just like any other person and can still have friends who are also in the clone army. They can also still make families and know when things are going south.
anyone know what the clip at around 2:03 is from? looks like the clone wars but i cant figure out what episode
