501ST JOURNAL The Battle of Christophosis “Betrayal and Victory” After General Skywalker broke through the naval blockade by Admiral Trench, the 501st linked up with General Kenobi and the 212th planet side and started taking back the planet of Christophosis. What none of us expected was that the droids seemed to be one step of us. We all had our suspicions but we weren’t prepared for the truth. After the arrest of the traitor and the timely arrival of reinforcements by General Yoda, the Republic won the battle. But we didn’t have time for rest yet. We received new orders: To head to the planet Teth and rescue the son of crime lord Jabba the Hutt. This was a mission none of us were looking forward to.
So at the end of the battle, the nobles lost everything. Honestly, this was a blessing in disguise. They were so oppressive and snobby, they needed to be brought down from the pedestal. Somebody who would willingly leave so many others to die, especially those who have served them, doesn’t deserve what luxuries and riches they have. They need to be taught a lesson in seeing things through the eyes of those they’ve artificially placed below them.
Did the republic or even the jedi demand that Christophis become a democratic government or did the oppressed masses rise up and decapitated their cowardly overlords?
In truth the Battle could have been truly devastating to the Republic early in the war, and no doubt that Palpatine needed the Republic to hold the planet to secure their territory and the mining resources of the planet. The CIS was very eager to take the resources of the planet and used its location for its hyperspace lanes.
Something to remember is that the episodes set before the movie where originally the first episodes of the series with the movie being made from the episodes that ended the arc and the entire Hutt kidnapping arc almost on a whim from Lucas.
According to my calculations, there were over 13.000.000 battledroids on christophsis and thousands of AATs. Sometimes i wonder why we dont see local militias more present in fights during the show.
True, it's almost unbelievable how incredibly vulnerable so many planets are in the star wars galaxy, even on worlds with populations in the billions yet these governments of their respective planets can't seem to spare a few lousy credits for standing militaries or defense forces? Heck investment in atleast some orbital defense platforms you would think be standard practice for most settled worlds so as to better control ships passing through space ports but nope! Almost ever one of them are so completely vulnerable to the point were even mere space pirates can pose a serious threat to planets that should have the economic and industrial capacities for fielding armies that would absolutely dwarf all our Earth's modern militaries combined!
@@navilluscire2567 indeed, in legends you would see planets like Duro, Jabiim, Balmorra and Kashyyk heavily defended and guarded by local militias, but it seems that in canon they think that clones were the main infantry unit, which they weren't, they were shock troopers, sent to support planetary forces that couldn't hold back the separatists.
I highly doubt the Christophans, after being abandoned by their nobles and left to die, let the same nobles back to rule the planet again, especially as the nobles had lost all of their wealth and influence... there was probably some sort of revolution immediately after the Republic forces had left.
Naming a battleship "Negotiator" can't possibly inspire confidence in your good faith if negotiations actually happen. But then that's pretty appropriate for Kenobi, isn't it?
Christopsis has to be one of my favorite planets, and it baffles me that we know of what happened to it after the clone wars, the Galactic civil war or the FO-New Republic war.
I still find it cool and kinda confusing how some episodes that come later take place in certain battles or part of the arc of a battle or something like that in then clone wars series. Still wish we had more of season 7 though.
Definitely one of the more unique looking planets of the Star Wars galaxy and one I hope to see revisited. The world of Christophis also has such an interesting history, settled only around 700 years BBY making it one of the youngest developing civilizations in the galaxy (their ancestry prior to colonization not withstanding) not to mention the history of its founding is also pretty interesting! Though I do hope that if and when its explored again we get to see it in a new vision, with varied crystalline landscapes (crystal forests, big caves, giant geodes, gemstone plains and etc.), oh and maybe more densely packed urban centers? (didn't really like how spread out the buildings were in The Clone Wars TV series)
I was really hoping christophsis would be a map for supremacy and galactic assault on Battlefront 2, but sadly was only mentioned in one line from Anakin
The only thing I remember it for was that one clone who decided that he was going to Mike Tyson that B1. I appreciate the effort but I'm not sure that punching someone with a metal face was such a good idea. I shall call that clone "Punch-out".
Can we talk about the Clone who punched a B1 before the pain got him killed and Cody roundhouse kicking another with no problems? That's some serious double standards there
Really wish they added this map to battlefront. Naboo may have been an urban map but Christophsis would’ve been cooler in galactic assault where you fight in the streets and the high rises. Like stalingrad for star wars
Christoph for the first battle of star wars the clone wars think it was great. Can be the next order of the clone wars absolut the battle of muunilinst
Battle of murkhana battle of mimban battle of belderone battle of siskeen battle of tythe battle of ragmar battle of tellanoaeg battle of bespin battle of sullust
13:26: Typical, the fleshy parts are in the side material. Again, the Battle of Honoghr featuring Aayla Secura and Commander Bly. Yes, the battle that caused its denaturization all the way to the post-Galactic Civil War era of the Thrawn trilogy, although the trilogy itself showed a way too different timeline and series of events. Might need a rewrite because of that.
I get it would be more of an opinion video, you stated many times how back during the times of star wars the old republic that not only the technology was weaker but also the jedi and sith fighting in them, which is how a trooper could go toe to toe with one and still have a chance. Just wondering if you would do either a mini series or even a brief break down of some of the main figure heads in both the republic and sepratists with their respective forces and give your opinion on how they would do in that era and how big of an impact they would be. although great show I listen to it all the time keep up the great work!!
Christophosis is quite an unique world with a crystal like appearance on it's surface and usage for city buildings. I would've love to see another world like Christophosis having another crystal like setting but with even more colors than just light and dark aqua marine. I don't know why, but seeing jewelry with color just fascinates me as they're more then just shiny pretty objects. It's too bad that it came out at a time when the Clone Wars movie didn't quite sit well with audiences and critics, given that it was released in theaters rather on TV as a pilot movie. I mean, I remember enjoying the Clone Wars movie and the first 2 seasons of the CGI Clone Wars back when it was on Cartoon Network as a kid.
Faking earnest surrender in combat isn't a strategy, it's a war crime. Obi Wan deserves his reputation as a negotiator as much as Kissinger deserves his as a diplomat. And the impressionable kids watching probably came away thinking Obi just heroically outsmarted this poor ROE-abiding separatist commander who was handicapped already with an incredibly lazy name.
Thank you for making this video. The reason why most fans don’t know about this is because all of the episodes are out of order. But at least this video helped with that.
Again man I love these videos you just say the exact same thing like 4 times in slightly different wording at the beginning it kind a bugs me. I still like the video though, and it gets so much better a quarter of the way through
I don't get a thing like at all. Why were those non-humans and servants fought against the Separatists? It was their chance of gaining freedoms and better lives they deserved if they surrendered and voluntarily joined the Separatists' cause. Also, the more and more I heard of the Republic didn't do anything to help peoples in the Mid and the Outer Rims, the more I believed it is to be a lost cause because I doubted Bail Organa, Mon Mothma and Padme Amidala can reform the Republic from within like they hoped.
You honestly think the CIS would give them better lives? They would treat them like trash like they did the twi’leks, and not to mention how hard the empire would come down on em after they recaptured the planet, it’s honestly a good thing they stayed loyal
Seems at the bare minimum being Isolationist while influencial an Powerful is all well an good an all but they shoulda allowed for the fact that just cuz they elect to keep to themselves peaceably if they can they SHOULDA also prepared for the fact some, like Trench an the CIS might decide to attack them anyways not sharing their ideals and planned accordingly making themselves PLENTY hard a target even to the point of not being worth the trouble even for a force as big as Loathsome an Trench's. That seems to be the big issue being Isolationist you get into trouble like this if you haven't taken this fact into serious account
Quite confusing what the sides are. "Lodesome" first fights against the Sith, then against the Jedi. Using obscure names from the fictional universe such as "CIS" and "Seperatists" further confuse the narrative for those of us not intimately familiar with the stories. So is referrencing "the movie" rather than a named movie like "Movie VII, Disney Awakens"
"the movie" references the movie the battle takes place in (the clone wars movie). and if you don't know who the separatists are what is the point of watching the video...
@@matthiuskoenig3378 It's extra mental work to remember the sith-run group was also called seperatists and a few other names. And the battle itself wasn't in any of the 9 main movies, it was only mentioned as a past event.
Think in the Catalyst book and Aftermath trilogy the empire ravaged the planet for alternative crystals power sources than just Kyber for the Death Star. Sidious probably had it invaded twice so he could weaken planetary defenses and go in with minimum opposition.
I remember being so confused by that one Clone Wars episode from the first season, the one about the Clone traitor (Slick was his name I think) that was working for Ventress, and giving info to the Separatists. And I thought that was a totally separate battle on Christophsis I didn't know that it was supposed to be like a precursor to the battle shown in TCW the movie lol.
It's pretty cool how the christophians that were left to die by the cowardly nobles were determined to fight to the bitter end for their home, despite being slaves on the planet.
Hello from France 🇫🇷 !!! Excellent video, I didn’t know much about this battle, thank you for your work ! Could you make a video about wich galactic empire was the most tyrannic in Star Wars History. Was the Empire of Sidious the most tyrannic or were there other empires from the past or in the future that are way more violent and racist against aliens ?
The clone who punched a droid is an absolute legend
Never forget the legend who punched a droid

Absolute legend, no fear!
@@geetslys Like a true soldier

Christophsis is the place where the historical event called "the clone who punched a battle droid." happened.
And the misguided clone that just wanted freedom for his brothers...😔

The Battle of Christophosis
“Betrayal and Victory”
After General Skywalker broke through the naval blockade by Admiral Trench, the 501st linked up with General Kenobi and the 212th planet side and started taking back the planet of Christophosis. What none of us expected was that the droids seemed to be one step of us. We all had our suspicions but we weren’t prepared for the truth.
After the arrest of the traitor and the timely arrival of reinforcements by General Yoda, the Republic won the battle. But we didn’t have time for rest yet. We received new orders: To head to the planet Teth and rescue the son of crime lord Jabba the Hutt. This was a mission none of us were looking forward to.
Just a correction, but. The 327 was the Star Corp under Aeyla Sacura. The 212 was Obi-Wan's bois.
@@inductivegrunt94 saw that. Thanks
@@masteroftheassassins do you have othe parts of the journal?
I love the 501st journals 😂
@@geetslys I came up with this one myself. And I made one for the Battle of Teth.
Battle of Christophsis - the first battle when Star Wars The Clone Wars came out as a movie prior to the long running animated series.
So at the end of the battle, the nobles lost everything. Honestly, this was a blessing in disguise. They were so oppressive and snobby, they needed to be brought down from the pedestal. Somebody who would willingly leave so many others to die, especially those who have served them, doesn’t deserve what luxuries and riches they have. They need to be taught a lesson in seeing things through the eyes of those they’ve artificially placed below them.
... are just your usual rich f***s ?
I wish that realization would happen to Earth's corrupt governments.
@@rewto5131 to be fair, pick a successful peasant revolution of that scale in our history and be washed with catharsis.
Did the republic or even the jedi demand that Christophis become a democratic government or did the oppressed masses rise up and decapitated their cowardly overlords?
Yet somehow capitalism has managed to fool many.
In truth the Battle could have been truly devastating to the Republic early in the war, and no doubt that Palpatine needed the Republic to hold the planet to secure their territory and the mining resources of the planet. The CIS was very eager to take the resources of the planet and used its location for its hyperspace lanes.
Something to remember is that the episodes set before the movie where originally the first episodes of the series with the movie being made from the episodes that ended the arc and the entire Hutt kidnapping arc almost on a whim from Lucas.
"The Providense-class dreadnaught-" *Invincible opening*
This battle is very underrated imo, same with the Battle of Teth
According to my calculations, there were over 13.000.000 battledroids on christophsis and thousands of AATs.
Sometimes i wonder why we dont see local militias more present in fights during the show.
True, it's almost unbelievable how incredibly vulnerable so many planets are in the star wars galaxy, even on worlds with populations in the billions yet these governments of their respective planets can't seem to spare a few lousy credits for standing militaries or defense forces? Heck investment in atleast some orbital defense platforms you would think be standard practice for most settled worlds so as to better control ships passing through space ports but nope! Almost ever one of them are so completely vulnerable to the point were even mere space pirates can pose a serious threat to planets that should have the economic and industrial capacities for fielding armies that would absolutely dwarf all our Earth's modern militaries combined!

4:29 Figures they'd leave. The cowards.
13:19 Serves them right. How could you be so foolish to not take your valuables and assets with you?
4:12 Good guys use blue blasters while bad guys use red blasters.
Simple as.
You should do, Why Most Star Wars Fans Don’t Actually Know much About the Battle of Dantooine
I highly doubt the Christophans, after being abandoned by their nobles and left to die, let the same nobles back to rule the planet again, especially as the nobles had lost all of their wealth and influence... there was probably some sort of revolution immediately after the Republic forces had left.
This battle sold me on the animation style
Naming a battleship "Negotiator" can't possibly inspire confidence in your good faith if negotiations actually happen. But then that's pretty appropriate for Kenobi, isn't it?

Clone Trooper: "I. CAST. FIST!"

Every time Geet said Christophsis in this vid I auto-corrected it in my head to say it with that hard 'Off' that Trench pronounces it with
Nothing like some war crimes to get a victory
Star Wars fans need enlightenment about the Senate.
People talk about how cool the guy who punched the droid is, but what about the droid who got punched and shot like 2 clones? He is a legend
The highlight is that the one clone trooper who punch a clanker in the face.
Christophsis is such a uniquely well designed planet, I always loved how it was like Corroscant, but more like a crystalline mine as well.
Definitely one of the more unique looking planets of the Star Wars galaxy and one I hope to see revisited. The world of Christophis also has such an interesting history, settled only around 700 years BBY making it one of the youngest developing civilizations in the galaxy (their ancestry prior to colonization not withstanding) not to mention the history of its founding is also pretty interesting!

love your content bro!
honestly love that I can drive to work and still expand my knowledge of the EU of starwars in between reading books!
I’d really appreciate it if you could do a video on the Battles Of Malastare, Quell or Kamino (2008 Clone Wars version).
I’d like to see you take a look at the siege of mandalore
Are we not gonna acknowledge the badassness of the clone that is punching the droid on the thumbnail?
The only thing I remember it for was that one clone who decided that he was going to Mike Tyson that B1.
I appreciate the effort but I'm not sure that punching someone with a metal face was such a good idea.
I shall call that clone "Punch-out".
General Loathsome looks like a Star Wars Cartoon version of a general in the Confederacy during the US Civil war
Is it Longstreet
lol, i was concerned why the video only got this little attention just to realise that it isn´t older than a day.
luv ur content
Took me till this day to realize that trenchs ship has spider eyes...
Were rothana or kuat ever attacked during the clone wars, due to them both being major production hubs for the republic
if u take a shot of whiskey every time “correllian run” is mentioned you’re prob gonna be drunk b4 the video is over.
Outstanding!
Thank you!
1:13: Probably notable for making people be blinded by its majesty.

Truly only the battle between Anakin & Trench actually portrayed a logical Space Ship to Ship battle.
It only took Obi-Wan committing a war crime to liberate the planet.
Cue US Vietnam war crime theme
What happened to christophsis after the clone war?
Admiral Trench be like: I'm not dead!
Monty Python Reference
If the CIS captured Christophsis then they would have the power to invade many many worlds, possibly winning many tide turning battles
Could you do a video for the battle of mimban in the solo movie
