STAR WARS Battlefront 2 THE 501ST JOURNAL [REX] Reaction!

- What a wonderful tribute brought to life through more modern Star Wars media and visuals (Jango is crying his heart out). I seriously have to get around to playing the original Battlefront 2 campaign one day and witness the original cutscenes (and order 66....)! Perhaps eventually on Twitch! It's always interesting to explore the perspective of The Clone Wars era as planned out by pre-Clone Wars show media. The expanded universe and some of George's first concepts for the time period were incredibly interesting! I've no doubt he'd approve of more modern entries (such as clone wars season 7) Hopefully we can get some clone wars and clone references in general in The Mandalorian in Season 2!

I havent played BF2 (2005?) So it was neat to see this side of it pre-chip
I play BF2 2005 psp version on my mobile)
@@starwarsfan1438 oh nice didnt realize they had that
You Will love it, or maybe You Will hate it, your fellow soldiers are not as smart as you hope they would be, basically, You will conquer the galaxy alone, because they don't serve even to cover you from enemy fire
BF2 2005's campaign was awesome. Continuity wise it doesn't work out as it was pre-chip and the battles it showed. It followed the 501st but also had nearly every major battle in the films while working with different Jedi, which we know isn't the case since they mainly follow Anakin's leadership and occasionally other Jedi too. Still a great perspective especially in 2005.
@@TMoneySartwell A lot of guess work went into pre, The Clone Wars, material since the prequel's never elaborated on just why so many of the Clones went along with Order 66. Some where less the flattering to the Jedi as a result of trying to explain it, to the point of uncharacteristic vilification.
Battlefront 2 was an excellent exemption, with Temuera Morrison playing a soldier resigned to a terrible task who later internalized his service to the Empire brilliantly.
The chip was the best why to have gone since even in the Revenge of the Sith game they where implied to be acting under Manchurian Agent like, programming. Preserving the beloved relationships the Jedi and us had developed for them, without it being undermined as all been an act. Plus it makes sense Sideous would take no chances with such a method.
As a soldier I can relate to the 501st Journal
It tells from a soldiers perspective
Not the news
Not the media
A broken man
"It's a good thing we were wearing helmets, because none of us could bear to look her in the eye."
And yes, it's voiced by Temuera Morrison, who played Jango Fett and all the clones in the movies.
Yeah that part was sad. The time had come and they did there duty
@@Gaxelle
Jango Fett: Do you like your army?
Obi-wan: I look forward to seeing them in action.
Jango Fett: They'll do their job. I guarantee it.
(The funny thing is that not even Jango knew the true purpose of the clones. Only Sidious and Dooku did.)
@@religionisevil8850 I'm pretty sure Jango knew what the clones were for. He was a Jedi killer, and he knew who Dooku was, he witnessed the creation of the droid army and the clone army. I'm very sure (if he wasn't explicitly told) he could've put 2 and 2 together to figure out that a Sith Lord used him, a Jedi killer, as the host of the army for the Jedi for a reason.
@@LightgreenLP according to legends he didn't know. He suspected, but never cared enough to find out as he saw that it had nothing to do with him. Even though he wasn't really a bounty hunter who fights for the highest bidder, he still had no allegiance or loyalty to either or. When he said that to Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was being genuine. Especially given that he personally trained the Null and Alpha ARCs, he knew what they were capable of.
Rex didn't write this, it's Appo who lead the 501th in legends. All of it is written from the 501th perspective
Appo
@@denal8853 figured, thanks for confirming my suspicion
Yeah I didnt necessarily say rex wrote it. REX is the TH-camr who made the tribute. Neat to know its appo though
How do we know it was appo?
It isn’t actually Appo. Or at least there’s nothing saying it was. In the game credits he’s referred to as Retired Clone Trooper. And Appo in Legends died on Kashyyyk.
Commander Bly and Aayla Secura had one of the closest relationships a clone and jedi could have, when the order came for him to eliminate her he didn’t want to but knew he had no choice. He gave her a quick and painless death compared to other jedi which is a mercy.
Didn't he keep shooting her in the back to make sure she was dead, and not lying there in agony?
While the idea of all the clones being chipped is neat, them knowing about the betrayal they would commit makes it that much more heart breaking. Hearing the comment "Its a good thing we were wearing helmets, because none of us could bare to look her in the eye." and thinking about Kenobi yelling "You were my brother Anakin!", really pulls my heart strings.
That's what Fives and Tup were talking about when they said the nightmare was finally over. Every clone got subconscious dreams about executing order 66, they just didn't know what it was, or what was causing it.
Also, this version has changed a few sections. The part that shows Scarif is actually an asteroid world called Polis Massa in the game and it's also named "Birth Of The Rebellion". Also, in-between Knightfall and Prison Break, there are a few other missions this video cut out, such as Naboo, where the 501st is sent to assassinate Naboo's queen after she rebels against Palpatine, a mission to Mustafar to tie up loose ends and kill a surviving Separatist leader named Gizor Delso (a Geonosian), and a mission to Kamino to put down a Clone REBELLION. Here's the text for that one:
Intro: Officially, there never was a "Clone rebellion" on Kamino. Unofficially, approximately three years after we were created, a detachment of the 501st was sent to Kamino to wipe out a force of Clones, that had been bred to take up arms against the Empire. Our mission commander, an expert on the inner workings of Kamino, was a young bounty hunter named, Boba Fett.
Ending: The bounty hunter left after the mission was over. Said something about pursuing a smuggler on Tatooine. After the failed Kamino uprising, the Emperor felt that an army made of completely genetically identical soldiers, was too susceptible to corruption. Future troopers would be clones from a wide variety of templates. Though the 501st itself remained "pure", the rest of the Imperial armada gradually became more and more diverse. We never really got used to the new guys.
This is before the chips for the clones yes it isn’t a thing yet.
I just got a PTSD flashback from that intro
Rip sev 😭😭
Sev survives the game though
@@MindedJewel MIA
@@onepingyboi9363 Not even MIA. Sev goes on to serve the Rebellion when the Empire rises
It is canon, george lucas helped write it and gave a lore judgement to keep it as close to starwars as he could, and given it came out in 2005, its actually quite a good looking game
I definitely consider it canon too. It was canon pre-Disney and should still be apart of canon.
It was canon, but when Disney bought Star Wars in 2012 they wiped the canon apart from the movies and TCW.
Pre-Clone Wars indeed. The animated show began around 2008 while this came out around the time of Revenge of the Sith in 2005, three years earlier.
Great video as always!
I don't know how I feel about them changing such an important element of clones' betrayal so late. I mean what was it really like back then? Was is it simply the executives of star wars not liking the narrative of clones inherently hating the Jedi so they came up with chips which sort of feels like midway thru ish if you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong I like the whole chip storyline better but it seems kinda weird for them to straight up change it like that. Ideally you would want everything, all the plot elements, motives to bet set up before the first movie
All of this was written before the clone wars by Dave Filoni. Before Rex and Ahsoka existed. Before the chips were made cannon. At the time of the game’s release it was cannon that the clones killed all the jedi willingly and always knew that they’d eventually have to do it.
The video skipped some diary entries. They skipped the attack on Mustafar to end the separatists and the attack on Kamino to end the creation of clones royal to the old republic which I think would have been very sad and powerful to hear.
That Boba reveal. 🔥
Who know, from what we've seen in the bad batch, they just might bring it back
@@gennarosevero1856 the kamino clone rebellion is too badass Disney wouldn’t dare to bring it in
@@odstsoldier6252 I have my hopes. Filoni managed to save Delta squad, maybe he can bring it back
@@gennarosevero1856 I doubt it the show is almost over and it would take years for Kamino to grow their rebel clones beside how would the clone rebellion affect the bad batch it’s 2 totally different entities who have nothing in common
Tbh I hate the chip idea and really love the thought of them knowing it’s a lot more meaningful for why they did what they did
the cgi clone wars and 501st journal are worlds apart. The star wars universe in battlefront 2 was more chaotic neutral than just black and white like in the movies and the show.
They were bred for loyalty to the republic. Sure they had agency of their own and personality, but they arent a typical human being. Soldiers is what they are. And good soldiers follow orders
But it would a lso mean that they knew the entire time that they would have to kill them which makes it unrealistic knowing the friendship the clones and jedi had.
Palps: execute order 66
Clone: but...
Palps: I have spoken!
Clones: This is the way.
Yes lord sidious...
Pre chip there were clones who questioned their order and quite a few refused order 66 and helped several jedi escape
I admit that I was rooting for the clones during operation knightfall. If you had to pick who to kill... I can’t kill clones... just can’t, can’t and won’t.
Yeah my brothers...i will cry again ,-, Sorry..
Ahsoka Tano 'Snips' Same I’m killing kids any day over clones.
Personally, I hate the idea of biochips implanted into the clones.
I like the idea that the “orders” were all subtle hypno-instructions that they had spent their life knowing.
And yes, the clones resenting the Jedi for generally being terrible generals and wasting lives sounds better than “activate program”.
This was a lot more insightful than I was expecting; your reaction was pretty amazing and well-thought out. It really does make you think when it comes to these elements in Star Wars. And both versions are pretty interesting, yet dark and even heartbreaking in their own ways.
I highly suggest playing this game it’s a good memory for many and a spark for us who played it in the beginning.
when taking a command post in the jedi temple hit you right in the feels.
@@Jesse-ii3iz WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS!
"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word."
That's one of my favorites!
A theory about the journal ending at Hoth is that the narrator died soon after the battle. That's why we don't hear from him anymore.
:( so many died so not surprising
@@Gaxelle This video skipped the attack on Mustafar to end the separatists and the imperial attack on Kamino which ended the creation of clones royal to the Republic.
The important thing you need to know about this is that this took place before Disney bought the company and made it so that the clones went against their Jedi commanders because of chips inside their heads.
So part of the reason why they turned against their Jedi commanders was because their sole loyalty was to the Republic itself, and the one in charge of the Republic. In this case, it was Palpatine. And they never questioned their orders. And another reason is that not a lot of Jedis were capable commanders and got a lot of good soldiers killed
Disney is not the one who invented the control chips for the clone troopers. George Lucas and Dave Filoni did.
This tribute is really well made love how it's a journal style with the clone talking about his experience.
Some sad moments when talking about Ayala and when they knew what they were about to do marching into the temple. Great reaction cant wait for more.
I used to play this with my dad whenever I could. I didnt get much time with my dad, since he raised me on his own. Working two jobs, and sleeping whenever he could, all I really had were games like this. I always felt like I related to the Clones, making a difference without recognition.
You should definitely watch the full journal! This version cuts parts out unnecessarily to try fitting canon. The full version is way more interesting!
I actually felt like the new "chip" thing was more heartbreaking. Reason being that in the old way, the clones knew what was coming and were able to come to terms with it and/ or accept it (or be a deserter). However, if we assume they didn't know, they would have continued to forge their bonds with the Jedi commanders, in many cases befriending them, and at the very least seeing them as comrades. Then, when the time came, they were made to murder them. While the chip thing almost feels like a cop-out in comparison to the darker tone set before, it is at least to me, much more tragic and sad. Not to mention, it could act as a sort of message from Palpatine to the clones in the form of psychological trauma, that he was the one in charge, which would easily secure him pretty much the entire army without issue. Just interesting to think about.
Well, a lot of them were thrown under the rug. To most of the Clones, there was no reason to deny order 66. They were used by both sides, and only a handful of Jedi ACTUALLY cared about them. They didnt even have the right of citizenship ☹
I actually like the thought of them knowing it makes sense if you look up bacara thoughts on order 66 you should check it out he talks about how many men he lost under mundi and how betrayed he felt which is why many of them did what they did
the "chips" kinda ruin the overall story. I get it, clone wars is a kids show, so they wanted the clones to develop good relationships with the jedi cuz yay, friendship. but the story the EVERYTHING sets up, is one where the jedi ultimately failed because they were flawed, and the main area in which they were flawed was their lack of compassion. this is everything from obi-wan calling anakin "another pathetic lifeform", to the jedi treating clones as droids, to the order forbidding attachment, to yoda's advice to anakin to "to let go of everything you fear to lose", to both yoda and obi-wan pushing and training luke to become a warrior with intent to kill his own father. Ultimately, the jedi are not redeemed, and the sith are not defeated, until Luke is able to choose compassion, love, and family over duty, fear, and hatred...and inspired Anakin to do the same. a world where many, if not most jedi were able to form attachments to the clones and showed compassion for them is not one where the jedi order had fallen to fear and hatred of the darkside, embracing dogma and hiding behind a political duty to the senate in place of a moral duty to the galaxy and the will of the force, driven by love and compassion for others.

Yeah, the "chips" are more tragic because it makes the jedi victims of the evil evil sith and doesn't it just suck when bad people do bad things to good people? but that just isn't the intended story. the intended story is bad things happening to a corrupt organization because they allowed bad things to happen. the clones being willing to turn on the jedi is meant to only be possible because the jedi had fallen long ago...to put it bluntly, the "chips" are sad sure, but they make the story more childish. ultimately, the jedi in current canon fail because they weren't smart or powerful enough. if they were just better at swinging lightsabers, or were able to figure out who palpatine was in time, then they wouldn't have been defeated. It isn't really the story that george lucas set up with his movies...but whatever, its canon now i guess.
I disagree, the chips are 100% a cop out of it being too dark, it would be one thing if it just mind controlled them until the order was done, but since we've seen in the bad batch that they become completely different, wholely obedient troopers that they've never been in the new canon before it just doesn't seem very tragic at all in comparison
I like to think that the chips were a safeguard, which were only activated and forced compliance in the clones who decided not to kill their Jedi - as opposed to the majority of clones who complied reluctantly, or gladly in some cases.
As a few examples of what I mean
1. The 501st on Coruscant never had their chips activated, let's say because Anakin was still leading them and they were commanded by the Chancellor not to attack him, Ahsoka wasn't around, and the 501st was being ordered to slaughter Jedi they didn't know.
2. Bly and the handful of troops that were with him when they received Order 66 on the other hand had their chips activated because of their attachment and loyalty to Aayla Secura.
3. Delta Squad did not have their chips activated because when they got the order, like for the entirety of the Republic Commando game - there were behind Separatist lines and there were no Jedi to be found.
4. Ki-Adi Mundi's men did not have their chips activated when they received the order, because they loathed him.
I really enjoyed your reaction to this! It was a first time viewing for myself as well. I've viewed your channel off and on and I'm really happy you're still just as enthusiastic about Star Wars from the first video I saw you react to. Keep up the great work! You come a long way. Hasta la vista!
I played Battlefront 2 so long ago I forgot about most of this. It's very interesting to see this from a perspective like this. To the empire and its soldiers, the rebels are just that: a rebel terrorist group (regardless what you say the death star attack was terrorism, from a certain point of view). Super interesting to hear that sort of thing. Also yeah, the guy reading was the original actor from the movies.
Telchar How dare you forget about this masterpiece of a game. Btw I very much agree on what you’re saying the few clones that remained were definitely strongly against the rebels because technically the rebels were committing terrorist acts.
They left out the mission on Kamino were they killed of the remaining clones
Yeah rip.
I loved that mission.
and the ground battle of Yavin, and the attack on Naboo, and Mustafar, as well as replaced Polis Massa with Scarif.
This is a version of the 501st journal made to fit into canon.
I love this 2005 game for having Temura be the clones
the thing is, that the closeness we feel between the jedi and their clones was something quite rare. Since we are almost always shown anakin obi-wan and ashoka, it easy to forget that generals like krell existed, and they were the majority in the grand army of the republic
No in fact. Krell was a fallen Jedi who nothing but contempt for them and wanted to defect. Every other Jedi/Clone we see is either pretty amicable or friendly. I can imagine some having a more business like dynamic, but anything like Krell would be uncharacteristic.
A Kota from Force Unleashed type scenario, where one doesn't command any on moral principal against the ethics of a Clone Army, but still respecting them as people would be the worst a true Jedi would act in my mind.
@@Avenger85438 No in fact, i talk about how a lot of generals treated clones as moving barricades. And that is explored a lot more outside of the clone wars. I used krell as an example of his strategies, he was considered a great general at the republic for something. The case rest that most generals treated clones as trash.
@@CoronelRadec In works that where not only highly inconsistent but also never considered canon or relevant.
the only reason i hate the fact that the chips are a thing is its far more tragic that the clones betrayed the jedi by choice and it makes the Sith more evil rather then just "lol brainwash." a betrayal in a narrative has more impact if its genuine
not only was this pre-chip but it was also before the clones were immediately phased out by the empire like it is in canon. Also, this version of the 501st journal is edited to kinda somewhat fit into the canon timeline. To get a better understanding it'd be better to watch the original 501st journal from the game.
9:23 I got chills.
Yo love your well thought out reaction at the end.....good stuff
Wasn't it commander Appo who made these logs? I remember him being the commanding officer during the attack on the Jedi temple.
That does sound familiar what folks had said before. I'm sure someone will chime in
Pre-canon, he died at Kashyyyk when Roan Shryne decapitated him before fighting Vader
@@TheRevanSentinel exactly. This is btw. a story we need to get a movie from. I love that Vader hunting down the jedi and struggling with his suit. And in German we even got an amazing radio play with the original voice actors for Vader and the clones.
I tough with some of that men for 20 years always give me chills
None of them hit you like Operation Knightfall in my opinion.
"What I remember about the rise of empire, is how quiet it was, during the raining hours of the clone wars the 501st legion was descretly transfered back to Coruscant, it was a silent trip, we all knew what was about to happen what we about to do, did we have any doubts?

My childhood game. The better battlefront 2.
Truuuth straight truth
“Not to me”
Def
Not anymore.
The nostalgia for this was so big, i dug out my old ps2 slim and played through the full game. I relived my childhood in 4 hours. Best 4 hours of my life
Temuera Morrison the Goat
Tem is such an OG. I wish we could see more live action clones
Watch those wrist rockets!
I love how authentic your reactions are and how good you are at expressing your thoughts and opinions on what’s going on!!!!
This was before the biochip was cannon and written from the perspective of soldiers fallowing orders and before they decided to stop using clones
Battlefront 2 had the best campaign ever also this voice is the actor who played jango and boba Fett in the prequel and original trilogy
The Voice Of Commander Appo Was Temura Morrison Who Did This Voice On The OG Star Wars Battlefront 2
I still cry every time I play the campaign. Always starts at the end of the defense of kyshyyk. This one is good, but the original journal with all the scenes from the game is better. Adds more to the emotional impact. And no matter which version of starwars you like, the clones always knew on some level their original purpose. In canon, when Fives and Tup are dying, they talk about the nightmare being over, they're talking about order 66, and being thankful they don't have to carry it out.
I can actually believe that it works if some of the clones were aware that the various Orders including Order 66 existed, that some of the higher ranking Clones were aware of the plan, especially those that came to hate the Jedi on their own. That the chips were to ensure obedience for those whose obedience could not be ensured.
And yeah, I would've moved the cell block chapter to before the Yavin retaliation mission, but since it's assumed that it's an informal interview or journal, it makes sense that an event or two is out of order for the purpose of the conversation.
Oh imagining an interview like discussion you're right that makes it flow more in my mind then trying to organize it exactly.
Honestly, I prefer a mix of both.
That they knew ahead of time what the end goal was and knew what they would ultimately have to do, but Palpatine fearing the clones, such as Rex, growing too attached to the Jedi devised a contingency plan to make the Clones obey Order 66 regardless of if they refused the first time with the inhibitor chip.
After 6-7 years after the clonewars the clones were no longer an active fighting force, those who still served were some from the last ''batch'' of clones made shortly after the clonewars end. it's interesting how many of these clones were fighting with humans and saw them as inferior, many of the men of the 501st were human and not clones only a select few.
FYI most of the clones of the Vader's fist got replaced by normal human stormtroopers
Yeah the majority did.
Uh... no. Most of the troopers in Vader's Fist were still clones, and if they were humans they were poached from other units for excellent performance, Most stormtroopers in the entire Empire were normal humans or clones based on other hosts, but Vader's Fist was the only legion to still have a sizable Jango Fett clone presence.
Xelle you gotta remember that in this version the clones still respected a lot of the Jedi but also had problems with them they weren’t like Disney made them later. I prefer both versions because I grew up with this game but I love the chip version too so I can’t choose.
this game is from like 05 so ya, well before the chips
Love the robot chicken reference
actually some of the clones did not need the chips. some were completely loyal to Palpatine. others were led under horribe generals
I’ve been sitting at my house hoping Gaxelle would make a new video so now I finally have something to watch.
Me too ,-,
Morrison is the original voice of the clones before the TCW voice actor came along
the 501st weren't all together they were split up to support other units. kinda like what happened for the siege of mandalore
Yeah at the end of the war they were split to support depleted battalions etc.
Ohh okay. I suppose that makes sense sending bits off to support other units. Thanks. Do they typically wear their own armor or adjust to the group?
Gaxelle Depends I’m not quite sure but I would assume if they went alone to support another legion without a Jedi commander there would be no need to change colors because only one Jedi commanded them. Just my guess tho. If they had a Jedi General they would probably need to wear different colors to differentiate the legions. So it’s probably very necessary when you have more than one Jedi General commanding them.
@@Gaxelle adjust to the group but they will paint the it like there normal armor
What i remember about the PS2 era is... is how quiet was.
During the waning hours on a normal weekday, me and my brother were descretly transferred back to my grandparents place. It was a silent trip. We didnt know whst was about to come up, what we were gonna play.
Did we have any thoughts? Any expectations for what the surprise was gonna be? Perhaps. But no one said anything. Not on the ride to their place, not when i saw a slim, black box under our old TV, and not when we first spotted the game.
Not a word.
Gaxelle this was very informative about the clone soldiers of the 501st not much I have to offer except have U seen the real 501st document about how they were recruited by Lucas films by the man himself George Lucas it's worth the watch anyways enjoyed this 1
Stay safe and May The Force Be With You Always Gaxelle I have spoken
I like the video is very funny
I don't think this was meant to be Rex. To my knowledge, Rex hadn't even been created as a character yet. The only "named" clone we really knew of at the moment was Cody. And I assumed that it was Cody who was telling this story. Also, in the comments section of one video of this compilation Gaxelle (I think it's one that uses the original game's footage, not a tribute version like what you've watched in this video), there is an additional conclusion bit that someone created which finishes off the Original Trilogy by doing a 501st Journal Entry for Endor Space and Endor which ends with the second Death Star being destroyed and the Clones/Stormtroopers surrenduring.
The chips were always there but Palpatine created so much hate for the jedi that when the assault of the temple happened along with with the purge, most clones even just hated them. For most the chips wouldn't have been needed. They were just insurance for those who liked there jedi comanders
I wish Original Battlefront 3 will come with the same campaign but maybe longer and more detail and more gruisome (like in Knightfall you enter a room full of padawans etc) and modern graphics.
Appo was in the clonewars show too its cool
Ah there is more which gets sadder but don't want to spoil
Like the journals conflict so much with the clone wars series visual lol. They're showing felucia but at a different time way before Ayla Secura was murdered by clones. Its not the same event
Darn right you don't care about non-canon! (Lots of great stuff in Legends).
I noticed it left out the clone rebellion on kamino
Miss this boys too much, i will cry right now... (•-•)
No, the clones always had the chips
The common thought among these comments is that the Clones knew that they were going to betray the jedi. I think we have it all wrong, from what's been said they had 150 Emergency Orders to follow if given the go. Eliminating the Jedi is but one of them that if it was issued, they would execute without hesitation. Palpatine would not tell them that he would be using it, and... why would he? Too many lips and idle conversation ruins it all. The only thing they knew is that if the Order came down from the top, they would do it. From the sounds of it, the Order wasn't a secret, but the conflict of interest of a Sith Lord being the one who could and would want to issue it was. In this case its Ironic, the Jedi had sealed their own fate from the start.
I always sort of preferred them not having a chip, they followed an order that they were given as “good soldiers” do, it made it more powerful in my eyes. Plus if they believed the Jedi had betrayed who is basically the president, they would know they have to do it.
In the legends continuity, many defected, which I know a lot of people know but it was interesting to me.
Also prefer the clone rebellion in Kamino, it was really impactful, same with them putting down the droids like the good old days.
Good soldier follow order's❤
I guess they omited the Naboo, Mustafar, Kamino, and Polis Massa campaigns as they don't mesh with Disney canon.
Who was the voice actor? Sounded a lot like Colm Meany who played Chief O'Brien on Star Trek TNG and DS9. Nice video!
Its temura Morrison. Jango fett actor
That brief clip has me hoping for the Robot Chicken specials soon!
Just bought this, its 5 bucks on Xbox and ive been playing this game like crazy
Yes omg.
Since this video came out last year I'm assuming a lot is retcon because of the last season of Clone Wars
The clone that’s talking is named appo
No appo was beheaded by a jedi in 19 BBY
No clue if you played the OG Star Wars Battlefront II but the narrator is a Clone veteran of the Empire and Clone Wars. We never learn who. All we do know is that this game has a "cult" like following simply because its story still outweighs most of the recent star wars games. Especially the 2017 Battlefront II.
Which did not live up to the original
She never heard the journal about the Kamino clone rebellion
Not everyone is aware.
Glory to the Empire, and to Darth Vader. They are good. Shame on those who support terrorism, and rebel vermin.
I hope we will get a movie where we see the good side of the empire
@@tymgames8307 Such a movie would be great. However, for those who know how to open their eyes, the empire's benevolence is already clear (just study the facts).
Lol some of the original journals are missing!? Where is the naboo queen assination mission? Kamino anti empire clone army mission? and the mustafar rebuilt driod army mission?
I love legends, where the clones did it out of loyalty, not chips.SW Legends was dark, current SW is just kids stuff... Love Andor btw.
THis isnt from the mind of Rex, or a clone trooper who survived, this is part of the 501st... This is the view of a clone who's chip is still active, he has regret, resentment, but he can barely express what he really feels. and even if this was before the whole chip thing, it still fits perfectly because you can tell in some fashion, they have respect for the jedi.. but also hate them. they call wookies mighty and beautiful, and also "walking carpets".. you can really feel the inner struggle they fight everyday without knowing, like rex was when order 66 came down.
It's from Appo's perspective, yes, but REX is the name of the youtuber who created this.
Damn I forgot how depressing this was
I believe that Mr Potter plays Battlefront 2 !
Gaxelle you should try out Jedi fallen order it’s amazing
the clone narririting this is sgt appo
Yeah, the whole pre-chip thing was a bit hard to believe for me ever since I watched Revenge of the Sith, and even played BF2 (2005). Whereas with the Clone Wars show and with the introduction of the chips, the clones suddenly turning on the jedi is much more believable.
Personally I prefer the chip version of the clones in current Canon.
The idea that clones knew of the plan and more didn't rebel is twisted and I think doesn't suit the idea that in the end the clones have a human heart, they aren't heartless Droids. That's what made them better.
You’re being very disingenuous. Plenty of clones did defect because they outright refused to kill their Jedi commander. Why do you think the Jedi Purge happened in the first place?
Also kinda ironic to say that the EU made them heartless battle droids because that’s exactly what the inhibitor chip did. Turn them into mindless droids…
The original battle front two make no mistake
Yes it’s pre chip, no it’s not Rex who is writing this, yes, same dude saying all of this, let’s just call him Phil. Phil of the 501st.
i dont understand...why with the encrypted holodisk mission does it say scarif when in the game its on polis massa? im so confused, is polis massa not canon?
Well, considering this piece of lore was made for the original Star Wars: Battlefront II for the Playstation 2. So it is a bit outdated. Since the Clone Wars CGI cartoon didn't air on cartoon networks at the time. So it's not surprising there would be some contradictions in this compared to today's Star Wars lore. Especially those in the Legends/EU.
With that said...the campaign for PS2 Star Wars Battlefront II was great and a lot of fun.
Also after I watched the force awakens I went and got Star Wars battlefront 2 and I played it and it was great
