Hey everyone! I just wanted to quickly mention that although this video uses visuals of General Romodi from Rogue One, this video discusses Romodi’s story from a 100% Legends perspective. That said, the Rogue One Visual Guide has left it open for a lot of General Romodi’s story to be carried over into Canon, including his admiration from Tarkin and his military service at the beginning of the Imperial era. Just another reason for us to enjoy Rogue One. :) Thank you very much for your incredible support recently! I can’t thank you all enough and I hope that you all enjoy today’s video.
That's awesome to heart MSE205, it really is the first thing that stood out to me too with General Romodi's story. It is one of those aspects that makes Tarkin such a great character.
@@starwarsreadingclub Tarkin, in Legends, was the embodiment of stoicism and imperial loyalty. He embodied this idea of empire above all, but also held to the good that comes from stoicism and self improvement, all the respect for history and rule, hardened, of sacrifice for unity. He's one of my favorites.
Romodii was in Rogue One, he was the officer who informed Tarkin about the rebel incursion at Scariff! ( and perished alongside Tarkin, Bast and Motti at the Yavin battle.)
@@bigbird2240 I mean not every Disney Star Wars thing is bad. Rogue One and Andor were fantastic in my opinion. Yeah, the Sequels were bad, but not everything from the Disney Canon is trash.
@@spectreshadow Cant imagine fighting for your country, sacrificing everything, for nothing. Must have been terrible. But still, we are far cries from those men.
@@ArchangeZ imagine being committed to every version at least in some way? How disappointed and defeated would you be by the end?? Probably just upped and joined the commies after that
@@NearlyH3adlessNick Actually, many of the Generals, Scientists and other Staff that survived and werent dropped dead by Nurimberg trials kinda had to. But thats only logical. Everyone would do what they could to survive after all that, when everything you ever believed in was tarnished asunder.
Tarkin remains one of my favorite characters and I absolutely love seeing the parts of the Empire that are more positive, the heroic side, because there is one. While I'm a fan of the EU I really disliked the killed Tarkin's son story because it hurt a pillar of this. Tarkin was always and would always be loyal to the Empire, it was everything he wanted in terms of a future and Tarkin is a man of principles and loyalty to his ideals above all else, and it was a shared loyalty. I love moments like this.
I don’t know if you have a full one on your channel but you ought to cover the life of Exar Kun in a video- he is personally one of my favorite Star Wars characters his single handed double bladed blue lightsaber is so unique and iconic, and he lived and died before even Revan in the KOTOR era. Just such a unique fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord
I'm a general fan of star wars, however I don't know much about lore and all that but I find your videos fascinating. I appreciate the work that goes into the content.
My pleasure as always buddy! It's one of my favourite topics recently too, so it's awesome you're enjoying them IO. Hope you're having a great summer. Streams start again next Sunday, the 11th, with KOTOR 2 (and I was able to grab the Restored Content Mod thankfully :D) so I'm looking forward to catching up. Thank you for watching as always!
@Commissar Lord No, a quick glance at Wikipedia reveals that the first 40K rulebook was published in 1987 and the first Warhammer Fantasy book in 1983. Star Wars on the other hand came out in 1977 so ten years before Warhammer. All of the original movies were out before 40K was a thing.
@@ingenna6434 Actually I think that is after they had to split, because one of the creators decided to take his ball and go home. The WarHammer universe was under another name before the 80s. From what I have heard the universe came out much earlier, but after Lord of the Rings. It was to sci-fi what Tokin was to Fantasy.
@@Nathual This split you mention actually happened in the early 90's with WH40K during its first edition, I believe. The first edition of 40K had the 40K name but was known as Rogue Trader, which may be what you are thinking about. Rogue Trader was published in 1987. Nevertheless, the company that invented, patented and sells Warhammer to this day, Games Workshop, was opened in 1975 so the world could not really have existed before that.
Why we love tarkin? Ruthless.. brutal And respectful to his genious peers and he even know the value of each individual.. if tarkin treated them like trash then they are truly a trash to be discarded if he treat them with respect and honour they deserved it for serving the.empirr
Poor Ramadi... apparently Veteran Sith Care under Palpatine and Vader was physically great... but for all their physical medical prowess they didn't have... anyone... in all the galaxy.. of any race.. that understood at all what PTSD is and how to at all treat it.
There's actually a bit of lore on the gunners. Long story short, the Rebels destroyed the first Death Star only because the Main Gunner hesitated to fire when Tarkin gave the "You may fire when ready." command. Don't remember which book, but there's a book that explains that the Gunner hesitated to fire for a few more seconds hoping the Rebels would blow the station, as he couldn't bare the burden of his job after Alderaan. Pretty cool/grim tidbit of lore.
Besides this video giving me information about another talented imperial officer, the other reason for me to love this Video is, that it shows a very positive aspect of Tarkins personality. :) Though I already before saw him as someone who is rather fair. Do your job, and you don't have a problem with him, do your job good and he'll keep your effords in mind. ^^ Besides that, I don't think he was the type to care much about the war over career and prestige in the empire (as long as he wasn't the target of someone).
Liked his appearance in Rogue One. Who would have thought that such a story is behind it? Has nothing to do with the topic, but what do you think of Dooku: Jedi Lost? Will videos about it come?
Im surprised munalinsed allowed any form of separatist movement or rebellion of any type considering how connected Sidious must of been because of his master.
It actually makes a lot of sense because of the machinations of the sith. Its darth plageous who first laid the foundations of seperatism and he came up with TCW.
I think this would be a great idea! Admiral Screed has a great story that I think is one that would be enjoyed. I'll see what I can do. Thank you for watching!

What can you tell us about general weir
Hey! It's okay. I understand.
When I first Romodi walked on screen for the first time in RO I literally thought to myself "holy shit that's Romodi"
first thing to come to mind
Man, I can't help but to love the guy. Loyalty and sacrifice, what more can you ask of a man?
Wisdom?
I really love this video. It really shows us a side of Tarkin we never get to see.

He was not on the death star and is well respected general who serves under me not only a genius but also a capable fighter
True hero. Trough and trough. Nothing more to say
This reminds me of Germany, there were soldiers who served in the German Empire, the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany and in the FRG/GDR.
Imagine the shit they have seen serving through all of that.

He seems taken strait from 40k, with the famous quote from the tank commander who wished to hit the enemy with his sword.
Deamon93IT reminds me of the dude from the Helsreach series too!
Which came first, star wars or warhammer?

I’d love to see a series dedicated to him,
And his role in the Reconquest of the Rim and Western reaches campaign.

Because he has one thing...
UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!
...of plot armor.
I just admire Thrawn all together! Change my mind ;)
Why? You're opinion is flawless. Nothing to change.
You know Stupendous Wave right?
Thrawn is tediously overated...
Poor Ramadi... apparently Veteran Sith Care under Palpatine and Vader was physically great... but for all their physical medical prowess they didn't have... anyone... in all the galaxy.. of any race.. that understood at all what PTSD is and how to at all treat it.
Never exacted to hear something epic from that guy! What an officer.
You're Awesome, @Star Wars Reading Club!!! 💪💪💪💪💪
One of the most interesting lore vids I've seen!! Keep up the good work, my friend :)
I appreciate that very much RT, the support means a lot!
Can you do a video on the troopers who were in charge of the death star superlaser? Or a video on imperial riot troops?
There ain't enough information of them.

Romadi is so underrated
4:35 "Drive me Closer i want to hit them with my blaster!", Also, great video, love your channel, and keep up the great work youre doing!
Well, that’s some serious dedication to doing what you love.
I'd like to see a video explaining how a storyline is developed, approved and becomes canon or part of the star war lore.
This man is legit like a real-world field general.

I like how you got The Undertaker on the thumbnail 😂💯
Ikr
Opened youtube and was happy to see new video of yours 👍
This really hit my heart !
Lol Palpatine in the thumbnail looks like a vampire from Skyrim
What other way would a Dark Lord of the Sith look like?
No he looks like undertaker
Imagine if this man worked with Darth Marr on the front lines.
Can't wait for your Thrawn Treason content.
We live united or die divided
Long live The Empire
A living legend of a man. Sounds like an awesome guy!
I would see what Palpatine would've done for ramadi like transfer his mind into an another body
Nah, palpatine respected the man so much that he would allow him a peaceful death onwards to the staircase to hevean.
Now that's something cannon could never make up. Legends is so much better.
Wow didn't even know, great. Video
Thank you very much for the support Josh!
Sooo space ervin rommel?
There was one Officer I will always admire. Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod. Do a video on him.
I didnt know who Screed was had to look him up :) are you going to make a video about him?
I think this would be a great idea! Admiral Screed has a great story that I think is one that would be enjoyed. I'll see what I can do. Thank you for watching!
@@starwarsreadingclub Great. & thank you for creating this channel :D
Did Romodi and Trench interact at all during the campaign in which they both took part before the Clone Wars?
I think that is The Undertaker from wrestling in the thumbnail
Did Luke try to learn more about the force through the force ghosts of his father, Ben, and Yoda?
Vader: Meh. Fail me once and those grey pants turn brown. Every. Time.
LMFAO.
Good video!
Palpatine, in the thumbnail, looks like The Undertaker
Is that Palpatine or the Undertaker?
2 days light but it’s twice as great
and they all died in the Death Star...
A true imperial to the bitter end.
I wonder if Darth Vader respect General Ramadi.
Anyone else think this guy sounds like Rommel
Cool character
I wish he survived
Hurst Romodi more like best fucking imperial who is too good to be in some dumb novelization
Chief Inspector Grobbelar.
I left a like for *skreed*
what if anakin chose to stay after taming the children ?
So.... Fictional Erwin Rommel?
Why you got undertaker in the thumbnail? 😂
Yeah.
Admiral Thrawn is better and he loves his men.
Thrawn is an overated Gary Stu.
Did you say N'Zoth?
Hello there
Because of his *LiGhTsAbEr CoLlEcTiOn*
Wait Tarkin respect someone underneath him.
*NANI*
Romodi sounds a bit like the arabic word for "Grey". I think if there is any meaning behind all those names. Saw Guerera or Komari Vosa are obvious.
Couldn't the Emperor have used force healing on the General?
#Respect
Pity. He had to be loyal to the wrong side in galactic history at the time.
