I feel like the Empire overreacted a bit. Anyway, install Raid for Free ✅ Mobile and PC: clik.cc/6Cnt3 and get a special starter pack 💥 Available only for the next 30 days 💥
that is a scam
No i dont think i will
Bro spent 2 minutes on a sponsor, dont work for scugholes. It’s not worth it.
Empire: Utterly destroys greatest warrior culture in the galaxy in one night. Then looses to f***ing teddy bears with sharp sticks. ( Just to clarify, this was sarcasm )
Should have been Wookies not Ewoks
the empire won all fights against people that didnt have plot armor
dont think thos battles are equal in any way
The Ewoks would had not stand a chance if they would had being bomb from Orbit like they did to the mandalorian
"Never underestimate your opponents, and never fight on their terms." Mandalorians were some of the greatest warriors in the galaxy, so they used massive high altitude air strikes to utterly decimate them. While hiding the bunker complex on Endor in the forest would make locating for aerial or orbital bombardment difficult, it also meant the Ewoks had every advantage. Of course it's still true, cute always beats out tactical in fiction.
What a beautiful episode to a tragic event. We would have probably listened to history classes if lessons were given such emotional expression
Would also help if our history lessons weren't just as fictional as a Star Wars story... Well mine largely were anyway, hopefully your school was better.
@@WhatIsSanity LOL!
He literally told us nothing
No body talks about how fast the empire was able to convince people into genocide after genocide. That is so crazy.....
Mandalorian genocide was probably reasonable to most of the galaxy because of how violent the mandos were
@@skinnyj123 ya, that makes it better...
@@awesomesause to be fair the mandalorians them selves have a long history of gencioid so with the new so called true mandalorians regime in charge the empire can justify its attack as a preamtive attack to stop history from repeating
The bombs being the tears was a clever symbolism.
It gave me some real Terminator vibes with the probe droids and K-2SOs
Me too
@@GenerationFilms Come with me if you want to live. Please do not resist…
I think there's more happening to Mandalore between Bo-Katan was gifted the darksaber, and the bombing of Mandalore. Moff Gideon may have claimed the darksaber by traditional ways, further dividing the Mandalorian people. If Mandalorians fight as one, with their firepower I think Empire may never be able to truely conquer Mandalore in its life time.
din djarin will unite all mandalorians as one
I have a strong suspicion that Bo-Katan traded the Darksaber willingly to Gideon in exchange for free passage offworld for herself and some remnant refugees.
that's the whole point of the bombing. it took the normal fighting out of the equation.
@@fortieznoshortiez But mandalore have very strong fighters even some capital ships, and the backing of the Alliance. There are other rebel planets that doesn't have any of these that survived the empire, not to mention Mandalorians are far less likely to be purged like jedi.
That has got to be a joke. No amount of unification would keep Mandalore safe from the Empire, especially when the Empire has air power and numbers.
My only thought is the way Moff Gideon described the massacre of the Mandalorian Recruits that night, "Laying waste to entire fields of Mandalorian Recruits," could be an exaggeration, but following a massive aerial bombardment rallying your forces in large groups where gunships can effectively mow you down would be utterly suicidal. My thinking is the Mandalorian forces were already rallying for battle when the Empire launched their assault, catching the forces off guard and wiping them out. Then once they had decimated the rebel Mandos the Empire proceeded to bomb the planet into dust.
At first I just wanted a normal video and I thought the Shakespearean voice was dumb but you won me over in the end with the battle cry part. Nice touch keep it up 👍🏿
So...this is the very first time I have ever said this to someone, but...Bro, your presentation was brilliant, absolutely loved it. Your telling of the story completely pulled me in, ABSOLUTALLY AWESEME WORK!!!
Thx man😁👍
Man I love these deep, introspective narrations! I can feel the passion and gravitas of this tragic event! Well done Beratna! Imo, these type of videos are your bread and butter!
Thx J❤️
@@GenerationFilms,neigh, thank you! This has been the only bright spot in an otherwise s****ty day
Hi kopeng!!!
I do enjoy it when you get all prose-y. Gives the subject matter a bit of gravitas and makes the lore have a more real world historic feel.
Truly an episode to be proud of. Great work
Thx Michael
That has to be the best story telling I’ve heard in a long time. A very long time. Bravo 🙌🏾🙌🏾
American Ben ... another great Kevin Burns docu style piece! All you needs is some mandelorian music (not copyrighted) in the background.
😁❤️
It's when you lay out for too long in Florida. You get a Boca Tan.
Lovely as always Ben!
The Night of a Thousand Tears sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends!
Makes sense why the devs of raid have so much money to advertise they serve the Empire
Great video and summary of the tragic event. I never watched rebels so this helps me understand it better.
Kreez! Clan kreez! Nice video tho . It's cool to hear the whole story
It's pronounced "Kreese", not "cries".
Was about to post the same thing then thought "I should see if somebody else did first" Thank the force the world has sanity in it.
Cry about it.... jk couldn't resist
Hi Hermione!
Hope that family line perishes.
@@awesomesause
Hermione was right, and her correction allowed Ron to defeat a troll. 😉
Great video
The Empire would've most likely used MOAB bombs similar to the yield of a tactical nuclear weapon.
You say one thing then you say another thing that makes the first thing wrong
@@mrtortoise3766 why do I taste salt?
What?
@@mrtortoise3766 na it's just you sound salty
@@captainkill1993 I don’t see why
You are a fantastic writer!
The Mandalorians of the past would call this a touché. To fight and die in unbelievable odds is orgasmic to them.
That isnt the way I heard it happened. At least not what I was told by one of The emperors royal guard. What he said is that none of the forces could do anything to the main doors but every thing thrown at them was repelled. That after bombing Mandylor and sending the probes down as a last ditch effort Mandylor stood as strong as ever. So finally as what seemed in defeat the emperor himself went down with two of his guard to Mandylor. They landed on the surface and the emperor went out to face the grand army of Mandylor alone. From there he proceeded to kill every last Mandalorian he could see moving faster in the wind and cackling in the light he proceeded to force lightning his way through the entire Mandalorian army laughing maniacally yelling out loud you’re dead, you’re dead. That’s the story I heard anyways.
👀
I'd say that guard is exaggerating but I saw what the Emperor did in his bathrobe to the largest fleet in the galaxy and what he could do to Jedi Masters while dressed in that ridiculous senate outfit.
Canderous would be so pissed off at this and take the fight to the empire.
God I hope they acknowledge Canderous at the very least cuz Clan Ordo deserves to live on in cannon
If you think about it, Sabine made everything worst in Rebels. By destroying the machine meant to target only Mandalorians wearing Beskar armour. The Empire then had to resort to carpet bombing, destroying the planet and killing the civilian population along side. Just to collect the Beskar.
it's not a standard bombardment, it's a nuclear bombardment
ok but if it was a planet wide event wouldn’t it be happening at night and day at the same time?
Video starts at 4:31 after the ungodly long mobile crap speech. Great video otherwise.
Scan the QR code… LIKE A BANTHA
Thats scene with the imperial droids reminds of the god warriors from Nausicaa
Question do you have a link to the writing by Radi Vizla about the Night of 1000 Tears?
"Screaming and beeping" 🤣😩
😂😂Finally!
As much as Clone Wars did give us for the history of Mandolore the "true" history was wiped from records by Disney and it is a shame this all we have left
I wonder what this incident was inspired by
With the empire’s direct connection to the nazis the night is most likely inspired by Kristallnacht or “ the night of broken glass” where the nazis and their supporters set upon Jewish homes and businesses and slaughtered many. At least that’s the vibe I’m getting from it. Especially with the fire imagery used( if you ignore the terminator homages).
@@robertmerrill8918 also trail of tears, any genocide really there are quite a lot in human history
@@robertmerrill8918 especially if you take into account a lot of similarities between the Jews and Mandalorians, ik Ben mentioned it in another video
Okay, I have to admit, that was the first time a RAID SL ad read hasn’t completely annoyed me, in a long, long time. 🤣
Imagine rebelling and thinking you won only to find out you screwed over your entire planet.
This is the way
Ad ends at at 4:32
Ah yes the typical imperial genocide
Nahhh. Mandalore had to be cleaned up. And nothing cleans like FIRE!
Wow, a Raid Shadow Legends ad in a video about genocide. Nice.
Ben Dover?
Can you do the St Crispian’s Day speech?
When they said the mandalorian wars took place 1,000 years ago instead of 4,000 years ago like it originally was is a major adjustment. Especially claiming the Jedi fought willingly instead of splitting the order in half. Guess it’s safe to assume the exile won’t be cannon
the night of a thousand tears....the battle of unnumbered tears
The Dutchess's last name doesn't sound like cries it sounds like creed but with an s instead of a d.
The Mandalorians and jedi shared the same faith. But the Mandalorians should of strengthen their worlds and tested their strengths in small wars so when others sovrreign nations threaten the sovereign of Mandalor. Mandalor would of live up to their name, but instead they hide and scatter just like jedi after their massacre.
This is the way.
The lost tears.
In which year the great purge happened...?
Here's the problem with everyone thinking that Maul just gave up the dark saber. No Sidious beat him for it. It's his. So technically he is Mandalore. Cause Maul used the dark saber against Sidious and lost. And ever sense then, what does everyone say? It's to heavy, all the wielder's of it. Not just a few. Everyone since Maul lost to Star Wars main bad guy the strongest being ever. So that's why it weighs 1000 pounds in the hands of non force user. Gotta get big brain here.
Sahtin cries😢
Video starts at 4:34
So,this is the way……! And let it be written we will rise again and clam a new planet to Mandalore……! This is the way
Nothing we didn't already know, but excellent presentation regardless.
Did Mandalorians have a Valhalla type after life?
It's neat to see all of the pieces put together, it's been a while since I watched the animated shows. Your monologue could use some editing though. You're trying to be too flowery sometimes and insert entirely redundant phrases.
Not fear, but fury
The mandalorians had this coming.
It's karma, for attacking and destroying innocent people. (clone wars season 4 episode 14. A friend in need)
The fact that the Emperor used nukes showed that he knew the history of the Mandalorian Wars. The Mandalorians used nukes to glass worlds in the past.
Death watch moment
All I'll say is its the pacifist mandos fault that this event even happened. The Empire was afraid of what Mandalore could do if it was militarized again. The jedi did it too a hundred years prior.
No it isn't. If the Mandos remained pacifist, the Empire would have ignored them, just as they ignored to Dogoyans.
You're a fool if you think that. Mandalore was stable, strong and could've fought back against the Empire had Death Watch and their thugs not torn the planet apart resulting in years of civil war that left their people so weakened the Empire walked right over them.
@@thefanwithoutaface8105 yep. Anyone who thinks death watch aren't fully to blame here is a dikut
The real tears are because this was orchestrated by former Death watch and other Mandalorian traitors against their own people in the name of the empire.
I think we will find out that the armorer is one of these traitors.
Mandalore, if remained pacifistic, will keep becoming a prosperous world. And the Empire wouldn't see them as a threat. But then the Death Watch terrorists came and ruined everything. The Empire just made it worse. Avoid war and you'll be safe.
Technically for half of mandalore, the night of a thousand years happened during the day
Mi dispiace
should be the night of a billion tears
the empire: we have a 1000 ships with 1000s of bombs and 1000s of droids
the mandalorians: make it stop make it stop wah wah wah
The Mandalorians deserved it.
Clan KREEze, not KRYze 😠
What about Old Players?! I been playing for over two years and still don't have Vergis! Why do young pups get him while us veterans of a thousand battles do not?!
Great video thank you for all your work.
Sabine never defeated Maul in combat so the darksaber still belongs to him. Seeing as Maul was killled by Obi-Wan then he should be the actual leader of the Mandalorians. It seems kinda fitting at least.
Maul wasn't even in possession of the darksaber at the time, meaning Obi Wan didn't win it in combat because he never fought the current wielder at the time. It doesn't matter if the person you win it from is worthy of it or not, the only thing that matters is that you're winning it from them in combat and they are the person currently possessing it. Otherwise, nobody would be the rightful ruler of Mandalore because the darksaber sat in the Jedi Temple for years with no wielder after Tarre Vizsla died.
Why was the poem read in possibly the worst British accent I've heard in many moons
Less drama, more correct pronunciation.
🚲🚲🚲
Talking about a clickbait title! You didn't really explain enything. You just described what we already knew using a dramatic voiceXD
Oof
It's pronounced SUH TEEN KREEZ
First
this is why the peaceful mandalorians were never going to survive. had they kept to the mantle of the mandalore they would have kept ready and ever evolving from war and combat which they would of out right ended the clone wars had the mandalorians been even a fraction of their ancient selfs. truly how a mighty people have fallen into a desolate scattered band once again. ony when the true mandalore takes the mantle can the mandalorians truly rise. rip eu boba fett.
17th
OMG can that accent at 15:23 get ANY more gay? I think not....
How long did it take you to write this script anyhow...lol.
I love your videos but hate raid shadow legends. I understand you need sponsors in these trying times but you can do better then them.
You can literally just skip the sponsors part in the videos.
It's 2022 and people are complaining about creators getting paid? Sad
@@mattd2026 you're so smart dude, me saying I don't approve of a single sponsor is totally me claiming they don't deserve to get paid. I mean where do you come up with that idiotic logic? Seriously stupid
@@CounterLink I mean his sponsor is also the reason he can get paid. So want it or not this guy should be advertise it as well as possible. So your disapprove is pointless and not something for him to deside, especially you are not the one who pay him.
@@Ilyas-ty6cy I support them in other ways, you don't get to decide anything. I can disapprove in a sponsor all day long, you need to worry about yourself because if all you do to support a yt creator is watch the sponsorships you really are not supporting them.
This is what happens when you let idiot rule you and you become weak
Yeah like Maul & The Armorer who was His loyalist responsible for Mandalore's spiral to destruction.
@@SwaggerLikeUz bo katan, satine, and the vizla family are to blame. If only Mereel, Fett, and the rest of the true mandalorians ended up ruling mandalore
@@mattd2026 Exactly! U just validated my point. Death Watch, Vizsla, Maul, The Armorer, Bo Katan all share the blame.
At least Bo Katan had a change of heart & fought for Mandalore in the end as a (Nite Owl). She even told Din about Ahsoka's whereabouts which lead to Tython & Luke.
@@SwaggerLikeUz bo katan also lied to din in that episode tho
@@mattd2026 Bo Katan's character has never been a heroine rather a questionable moral character. In The Siege Of Mandalore & Rebels She seemed to turn over a new leaf..?
After losing Mandalore in the Night of A Thousand Tears She seems to be to be forming an alliance to bring Mandalore back.
I am happy that Mandalorian was destroyed, Praise the empire.
Don't confuse melodrama with substantive content delivery. 👎
What would be more substantive in your estimation?
Out of genuine curiosity, which part is melodramatic and lacking substance?
