"We Clones have mixed feelings about the war. Some wish it never happened, but without it we wouldn't exist." Also, yes I for one am all for learning about the life of Battle Droids.
You have to admit it makes the whole thing complicated. It’s easy to criticize the Kaminoans, Republic, the Jedi, and the Sith for how they use and treat the clones, but then you realize them, they wouldn’t even exist in the first place. A lot of clones might have viewed their service to the Republic as a way to pay back for being alive in the first place, though that might have made several not even be bothered by the fact they were never paid and always had to rely on the army for food and shelter. It always makes me wonder what would have happened to the clones of Palpatine had failed, but the Republic still won the war? I suppose eventually they would be decommissioned, but it wouldn’t happen as soon as it did in the Empire. First of all in such a timeline the whole Palpatine plot would have to be exposed for him to lose. So public opinion of the clones would fall whether or not they took the chip into account. Kaminoans would also get a hit on their popularity. For better or worse, I could imagine the Senate ordering the two species to stay on Kamino because they no longer trust them. The Republic was in the edge of becoming an empire and it would take years to reform to reverse everything. Instead of a new army being formed out of patriotism, the next generation of soldiers would be out of pragmatism since the Senate would probably be rushing to rid the Republic of internal threats. I do wonder if banishment would eventually lead to the Kaminoans and the Clones establishing a close relationship or if it would eventually erupt into the clones of the older generations launching a coup against the Kaminoan government.
I always loved that one clone made it out and started a family. I always felt sad for the one who was deserted on a planet and didn't even know the clone wars ended.
The deserter who started a family was Cut. The one who was left on a planet for several years is (I'm not sure who you're referring to here, but I assume it's Able, a Legends-only clone trooper who served under Shaak Ti.)
The clone who didn’t know clone wars ended was kicks and he knew about order 66 so separatists captured him but they crashed and he woke up years later in his pod after the clone wars had ended

I love how Geetslys is such a clone lives matter advocate. Really makes this feel real, like I'm in Star Wars protesting clone treatment, trying to gain support to address the Senate on the implications of clone slavery.
I've been thinking of presenting a clone adoption program to the Senate for a while now, but I have a feeling they'd reject it on the grounds that "they wouldn't be as effective soldiers"
Wonder why Anakin never showed second thoughts about the Clones considering he was a slave. Hell he should have been lobbying (using his influence as the Hero of the Clone Wars) to actually give the Troopers rights and freedoms.
If he hadn't turned into a one man war crime at the end of the war, he might have well done that. He wanted to become a Jedi so he could free slaves so it'd make sense that after the war was over they'd probably be one of his first priorities.
Short answer, privilege. a lot of the downtrodden ones who didn't grow up with decent morals to uphold would quickly end up being washed over by any newfound privilege they've found. their past days as the ones being the oppressed, to these people, would become a drive for them to never again fall to such positions ever FOR THEMSELVES, instead of actually fighting to end the very oppression they've faced. you'd think that it's natural for the oppressed to sympathized with other oppressed people, yet history has taught us again & again, that a lot of oppressors actually started out as oppressed people as well.

Something that the clones had that you didn’t mention is the gift of purpose. They knew exactly why they existed and why they fought. They didn’t have to worry about external struggles like money, food, shelter, etc... it’s a gift many of us still don’t appreciate or don’t understand.
The problem with that is that they all knew the war wouldn't last forever and we see them echo this sentiment often.

Especially for a being that's always had a purpose.

I feel bad for the poor shab'ike, they were literally slaves and the Jedi didn't do anything to help them in that sense, and on top of it all, they don't even live half as long as a normal person, even if they did survive combat.
The jedi has been reduced from a monastic organization seeking spiritual enlightenment & helping the downtrodden, to just a glorified overpowered police force of the republic, & with shit ridiculous rules at that. while the movies, being centered around the likes of Obi-wan kinda have us believe that jedi are in general like them, the truth is that they're actually the minority. the jedi, by the time of the clone wars, has gotten more interested in maintaining their numbers & preserving order for the republic, than actually helping people.
@@FalconWindblader Yeah, all in all they were not good people. And they kinda deserved to die, don't get me wrong there were some good ones and I don't like the sith but the Jedi needed to go.
I really wish more jedi generals were like Kenobi, Skywalker, and Plo Koon. Instead, most were like Pong Krell at worst, and at best just seeing clones as slightly better droids
When I was younger seeing Star Wars my favorite characters were the Jedi but after the clone wars had come out the clones quickly became my favorite characters and even more so after I joined the military
It get even worse when you realize that the jedi were almost the only friends of Clones in the galaxy, and they were forced to killed them during and after the Order 66
I want a star wars game where you play as a regular clone, fighting droids and watching your comrades die right in front of you. By the end of your adventure you meet the same fate as your brothers.
The more I watch these videos about Star Wars lore the more I realize that the Star Wars universe isn't as family friendly as the advertisements would lead you to believe.
“Just like the simulations” Ok but you see that the Jedi cared about them: there’s many examples but I’m going to give one that not a lot of people my remember. When Ahsoka was left alone with Rex and just like 3 other troopers she decided to go after Grevious so they could escape, and when Rex found out he protested and wanted to go to help her but she said “that’s an order, Rex!” Not wanting them to potentially die or get seriously injured.
CIS Droids. Not all clones were combat focused; some were mechanics/engineers who worked on the starfighters (think U.S. Aircraft Carrier crews on deck). Thus, its probably a good idea to also explain what those Mouse droids on Mustafar were doing in “Revenge of the Sith”…
You see, the clones are trained all their life for battle but if you _really_ think about it, they've never actually been in a battle before so they are actually inexperienced whereas the Droids were already programmed to be in a battle but the clones were still able to beat them.
Wasn’t there a similar thing to that music in Vietnam, where they played music US soldiers liked and read letters collected from dead US soldiers. It differs in the propaganda, but it’s still very similar.
This reminds me of my time in the Army Infantry. Train for 7 months learning dicipline, doing shooting drills, weapons maintenance, bay maintenance, weapons classes, eating same food everyday, and then going to bed for the remaining 7 hrs of your day. If you do have an hour to kill your told to do something productive. Then you go to your unit and it's the same thing with the ability to have your phone when not busy and go off base, but that can be taken away from you if your a bad soldier. And your told not to engage in politics, well more like keep it to yourself. It sounds like a bad life but some people need it and absolutely love it.
Even after watching every single star wars movie both from lucas and disney i can safely admit i only enjoyed watching those shows that were mainly about the clones...thus the clone wars was my favorite part of the entire star wars universe
The thing is that, while to you and I a life of constant drills and military training sounds awful, the clones probably enjoyed it. Yes, a good part of that is because they were brainwashed and never knew anything different, but it's also deeply satisfying and, yes, even fun to do something you're good at in the company of people you love.
Something I've wondered: The Republic already had people of higher military ranks, such as Captain Tarkin, (who, as I understand, retired from military service, then returned due to the war), etc. Therefore, I wonder this: The Republic likely had at least a small military before the war, but not a "GRAND Army of the Republic". This likely included a few million privates (This is, after all, an intragalactic batallion, after all. I've always assumed the clones numbered in the billions.) How did the existing grunts meld with the sudden influx of clone troopers at their side? How did the clone troopers deal with them? Were they all decommissioned or did they fight along side the clone troopers?
From my understanding of the legends lore: The republic didn’t have an official military but most planets did and they were recognized by the republic. Even companies had armies/militia since they need local enforcement (ie: trade federation). When the clone wars started most of the planets that stayed with the republic kept their armies and folded them into the grand army. The clones were more like marines and would be the first in an assault as well as being used for defense of critical infrastructure. So if the CIS invaded a system that planets army would fight them until the clones showed up to continue it if they really had to. There were billions of clones but being spread across a galaxy meant that they were mostly only used for the really important battles and invasions. That’s my understanding. If you ask Lucas he said there were like a million clones that fought with no normal life forms beside them. Which is pretty stupid when considering how big an entire galaxy is :/
I feel sorry for the battalion that was under pong krells command, seeing how abusive he was toward the 501. It’s no doubt he didn’t do the same to his squad.
I’d like to believe that part of why Rex was able to fight back was because he learned from Anakin that following orders is not always the right course of action, while the chip in the clones always had them repeating “good clones follow orders”. In that headcanon, it also makes sense why Cody couldn’t fight back-Obi-Wan’s style was usually to question things silently and mull them over rather than outright reject them (with a few exceptions).
My brother and I have Star Wars Lego sets, and a few sets have clones. Since neither of us are even 12, we don’t go into these deep subjects with the clones and ultimately give them pretty easy lives, or at least better ones than they would get in the clone wars. So I think people should treat any clone characters of theirs well.
Spend all your life training to become the best of the best then you get to go to your 1st battle. You load into the LAAT and as you head in the trooper next to you says “good thing those bugs can’t aim” then boom your gunship gets hit and you fly out of the troop hold to fall to your death.
Its truly disturbing to see the true implications of a clone troopers life in general. Its depressing they were good men who deserved freedom and better lives.
I love the clones, they deserve better, they sacrifice their selves which makes me grieve for their troubles. I would gladly take in a group of clones if I was in star wars and treat them like family. And synce they are all brothers they are loyal to each other and that's how I like people. They should have a full right.
The clone wars series rarely showed the bad side of clone lives, it did show they were all brothers in arms that every clone who died was another loss but it didn't show every droning moment of their lives every drill every exercise... I can only note of two times maybe when the clone wars series actually showed the bad side one with the new recruits on Rishi and I can't remember the other. Even Clone 99 was one of their brothers despite being defective. The whole reason Commander Cody Jokes with Captain Rex when they land on Rishi shows just how bad their life is that they have to joke about every thing they do.
clone commandos definitely didnt have it worst. some had amazing sergeants like bralor or skirata, and while some had terrible ones like Vau who would beat them up or others who would force them to fight each other, all the training sergeants hated the aiwha-bait and so they at least wouldnt be reconditioned (as much).
It must have made some Jedi have mixed feelings to some extent(even with the emotion supressing) that you have millions of soldiers whos lives you can sense being lost in the force opposed to battle droids(although not lifeless, Dont have those same attachments)
Do the average life of Battle Droids. Several kinds would be nice too as B1 could get assigned to all kinda of tasks while I've never seen a B2 on the command deck of a warship or piloting a vehicle.
This is why I like Captain Faro Argyus from the Clone Wars show. He may have been a traitor to the republic, but now that we know how messed up the war was for clones (and everyone), was it any wonder that a _non-clone_ soldier like Argyus jumped at Dooku's offer to leave the republic and better his life "beyond empty servitude"?
I wish there would've been crowds of people cheering the Clones and mascots, merchandise and all kinds of fan items and kids dressing up as Clone Troopers, maybe that would've made them a bit happier😭😭
I think the reason I loved the clones 10x more than the Jedi, because the clones could die at any moment in the series, while Jedi aren’t really expected to die during the show (until order 66 of course).

I really wish more jedi generals were like Kenobi, Skywalker, and Plo Koon. Instead, most were like Pong Krell at worst, and at best just seeing clones as slightly better droids
or just didn't care in general and only cared about the mission.
They loved it. The clones loved war. It’s all they knew
Right. I love to mt bike, but not smashing my skull against a rock.
There's lines here and there in the Clone Wars, where Clones said "it's okay, we're just clones." As if they were nothing but replacement parts.
When I was younger seeing Star Wars my favorite characters were the Jedi but after the clone wars had come out the clones quickly became my favorite characters and even more so after I joined the military
7:34 that clone got a Crazzyyyyy chin
You should do a video on customized Clone helmets. Awesome video as always
OOOH GOOD IDEA!
@@geetslys very nice M.A.S.H reference in the vid
*War, war never changes. War can change a man but the conflict itself doesn't change at all.*
It get even worse when you realize that the jedi were almost the only friends of Clones in the galaxy, and they were forced to killed them during and after the Order 66
I want a star wars game where you play as a regular clone, fighting droids and watching your comrades die right in front of you. By the end of your adventure you meet the same fate as your brothers.
5:27 they had a few hours to do what... 😳😳😳
Clones in the barracks: *MEAT BEATING SOUNDS INTENSIFY*
lmao
The more I watch these videos about Star Wars lore the more I realize that the Star Wars universe isn't as family friendly as the advertisements would lead you to believe.
“Just like the simulations”
Ok but you see that the Jedi cared about them: there’s many examples but I’m going to give one that not a lot of people my remember. When Ahsoka was left alone with Rex and just like 3 other troopers she decided to go after Grevious so they could escape, and when Rex found out he protested and wanted to go to help her but she said “that’s an order, Rex!” Not wanting them to potentially die or get seriously injured.
5:25
"Alright ARC troopers we are deplo- where's Echo?"
"C'mon C'mon play I don't have alot of time before deployment ah there we go *the hub drums*"
HAHA
CIS Droids. Not all clones were combat focused; some were mechanics/engineers who worked on the starfighters (think U.S. Aircraft Carrier crews on deck). Thus, its probably a good idea to also explain what those Mouse droids on Mustafar were doing in “Revenge of the Sith”…
Fun Fact: The Skaven were based on Hitlers Inner Circle and Stormvermin were based on the SS
You see, the clones are trained all their life for battle but if you _really_ think about it, they've never actually been in a battle before so they are actually inexperienced whereas the Droids were already programmed to be in a battle but the clones were still able to beat them.
R.I.P every clone who died in battle. They're free now.
7:55 Maybe the better moniker would have been, “Ryloth Rose”?
Sometimes your clone videos make me depressed..
They all make me depressed.
Star Wars is a tragedy after all. And the clones were the only ones with any form of humanity
@@geetslys than you would love how much I’ve tortured my own clone trooper character.
Wasn’t there a similar thing to that music in Vietnam, where they played music US soldiers liked and read letters collected from dead US soldiers. It differs in the propaganda, but it’s still very similar.
As a simple Clone Trooper I can confirm.
are you saying we just pass off the Domino squad The are living beings not objects
Agreed💯
This reminds me of my time in the Army Infantry. Train for 7 months learning dicipline, doing shooting drills, weapons maintenance, bay maintenance, weapons classes, eating same food everyday, and then going to bed for the remaining 7 hrs of your day. If you do have an hour to kill your told to do something productive. Then you go to your unit and it's the same thing with the ability to have your phone when not busy and go off base, but that can be taken away from you if your a bad soldier. And your told not to engage in politics, well more like keep it to yourself. It sounds like a bad life but some people need it and absolutely love it.
Even after watching every single star wars movie both from lucas and disney i can safely admit i only enjoyed watching those shows that were mainly about the clones...thus the clone wars was my favorite part of the entire star wars universe
The thing is that, while to you and I a life of constant drills and military training sounds awful, the clones probably enjoyed it. Yes, a good part of that is because they were brainwashed and never knew anything different, but it's also deeply satisfying and, yes, even fun to do something you're good at in the company of people you love.
5:25 really caught me off guard. XD
The Jedi and the Republic deserved to fall. The Empire deserved to fall.
Something I've wondered: The Republic already had people of higher military ranks, such as Captain Tarkin, (who, as I understand, retired from military service, then returned due to the war), etc. Therefore, I wonder this: The Republic likely had at least a small military before the war, but not a "GRAND Army of the Republic". This likely included a few million privates (This is, after all, an intragalactic batallion, after all. I've always assumed the clones numbered in the billions.) How did the existing grunts meld with the sudden influx of clone troopers at their side? How did the clone troopers deal with them? Were they all decommissioned or did they fight along side the clone troopers?
From my understanding of the legends lore:
The republic didn’t have an official military but most planets did and they were recognized by the republic. Even companies had armies/militia since they need local enforcement (ie: trade federation).
When the clone wars started most of the planets that stayed with the republic kept their armies and folded them into the grand army. The clones were more like marines and would be the first in an assault as well as being used for defense of critical infrastructure. So if the CIS invaded a system that planets army would fight them until the clones showed up to continue it if they really had to. There were billions of clones but being spread across a galaxy meant that they were mostly only used for the really important battles and invasions.
That’s my understanding. If you ask Lucas he said there were like a million clones that fought with no normal life forms beside them. Which is pretty stupid when considering how big an entire galaxy is :/
Geetsly's: *releases another video about clones*
Me: What about the droid attack on the Wookies?
I feel sorry for the battalion that was under pong krells command, seeing how abusive he was toward the 501. It’s no doubt he didn’t do the same to his squad.
I like how you dont really pull punches or sugarcoat what life as a clone was really like
that thumbnail really radiates the «born to shit, forced to wipe» vibes
I’d like to believe that part of why Rex was able to fight back was because he learned from Anakin that following orders is not always the right course of action, while the chip in the clones always had them repeating “good clones follow orders”. In that headcanon, it also makes sense why Cody couldn’t fight back-Obi-Wan’s style was usually to question things silently and mull them over rather than outright reject them (with a few exceptions).
I think he learned mostly from Fives’ but yeah Anakin inspired all of 501st.
The best kind of slave is one who thinks he's free
That’s most people
Society.
ElEcTiOnS
7:29 really got me, I don’t know how he said that so calmly
so kamino is basically the 29 Palms of the star wars universe
"Born to die"
*literally any human being*
The last model of clone trooper helmet brings sadness to me everytime I see it
Great video. I wonder if Lucas based the Clones on the Janissaries, the elite slave soldiers of the Ottoman Sultan. The parallels are interesting.
They got to do what in the barracks? 😂
Damnit man I spit coffee everywhere at 5:26
My brother and I have Star Wars Lego sets, and a few sets have clones. Since neither of us are even 12, we don’t go into these deep subjects with the clones and ultimately give them pretty easy lives, or at least better ones than they would get in the clone wars. So I think people should treat any clone characters of theirs well.
Spend all your life training to become the best of the best then you get to go to your 1st battle. You load into the LAAT and as you head in the trooper next to you says “good thing those bugs can’t aim” then boom your gunship gets hit and you fly out of the troop hold to fall to your death.
It’s like real life, you’re never prepared for all the sounds and stuff going on around you in real war
So essentially the experience of the movie "Soldier"?
The creation and conditioning of a clone army was an unforgivable atrocity for which everyone involved deserved the death penalty.
With how much training they had, it's a wonder how so many died on the battlefield.
It's not often the master let's you decorate your own chains.
Its truly disturbing to see the true implications of a clone troopers life in general. Its depressing they were good men who deserved freedom and better lives.
5:26
That caught me really off guard
I love the clone wars content man! The clone wars is my favorite subject of Star Wars!
So basically Ryloth Risa is the Star Wars equivalent of Hanoi Hannah, right?
I love the clones, they deserve better, they sacrifice their selves which makes me grieve for their troubles. I would gladly take in a group of clones if I was in star wars and treat them like family. And synce they are all brothers they are loyal to each other and that's how I like people. They should have a full right.
The clone wars series rarely showed the bad side of clone lives, it did show they were all brothers in arms that every clone who died was another loss but it didn't show every droning moment of their lives every drill every exercise... I can only note of two times maybe when the clone wars series actually showed the bad side one with the new recruits on Rishi and I can't remember the other. Even Clone 99 was one of their brothers despite being defective. The whole reason Commander Cody Jokes with Captain Rex when they land on Rishi shows just how bad their life is that they have to joke about every thing they do.
2:55 Nice M.A.S.H. reference there. I really liked it.
Once you hear the backstory and lore entirely, that thumbnail image hits hard.
clone commandos definitely didnt have it worst. some had amazing sergeants like bralor or skirata, and while some had terrible ones like Vau who would beat them up or others who would force them to fight each other, all the training sergeants hated the aiwha-bait and so they at least wouldnt be reconditioned (as much).
It must have made some Jedi have mixed feelings to some extent(even with the emotion supressing) that you have millions of soldiers whos lives you can sense being lost in the force opposed to battle droids(although not lifeless, Dont have those same attachments)
Idea for a video: What do the crew of Geetsly's believe the Rep should have done with the clones after the war (if Pally didn't took over).
5:30 I'm sorry they did WHAT in the barracks?!
Do the average life of Battle Droids. Several kinds would be nice too as B1 could get assigned to all kinda of tasks while I've never seen a B2 on the command deck of a warship or piloting a vehicle.
They either died a hero and lowkey broke our hearts or followed Order 66 and also made us depressed
This is why I like Captain Faro Argyus from the Clone Wars show. He may have been a traitor to the republic, but now that we know how messed up the war was for clones (and everyone), was it any wonder that a _non-clone_ soldier like Argyus jumped at Dooku's offer to leave the republic and better his life "beyond empty servitude"?
I wish there would've been crowds of people cheering the Clones and mascots, merchandise and all kinds of fan items and kids dressing up as Clone Troopers, maybe that would've made them a bit happier😭😭
“You sure as hell wouldn’t want to live it” me who didn’t have a choice but did love being a clone
I think the reason I loved the clones 10x more than the Jedi, because the clones could die at any moment in the series, while Jedi aren’t really expected to die during the show (until order 66 of course).
