501st journal: It's been said the 501st got the best of the war. But we also got the worst (umbara and felucia flashbacks)
That was a great game
Space Vietnam before it was cool
Yh i bet thats what fives meant when he said that the nightmares are finally over.Shame the 501st journal is probally legemds now
Lol 😂
Loved that game
Clones after Geonosis: “I don’t like sand.”
That's why Anakin was placed in command of the 501st.
Anakin would be proud
We don't like sand.

Hey Generation Tech. I love your content, my dad and I watch it all the time!
The blue shadow virus situation is kinda weird considering phase 1 armour could protect against the vacuum of space but couldn't protect against an airborne toxin
Ironically I’m like 99% sure the helmets had build in filters for biochemical war and hazardous environments. I know for a fact the stormtrooper helmets had built in filtration systems
Yeah shows kinda weird with how phase 1 armor can actually survive space.
The 501st were thrown into the front of most battles leading them was Anikan Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano & sometimes Obi-Wan. These guys are warriors who fight & died for the Republic. LONG LIVE THE 501st & all that have fallen in battle,R.I.P brothers.
Fingers crossed, season 2 of the bad batch will be about the clone uprising. That would be so extremely awesome!!!
*happy 501st noises*
Some random thought: Darth Maul is a Zabrak and Zabraks have TWO HEARTS and Kenobi's lightsaber just graced his chest so technically he could be still alive and probably will be if Disney continues milking the star wars franchise but nobody would expect him being alive again, again, am I right?
Lol, true though.
That mad scientist on Naboo always made me laugh, his voice was ridiculous
Great Video, because you just had it all. It was long time to eliminate the jedi threat though, not gonna lie
The 501st survives every time
The best of the best battle hardened soldiers in the republic no wonder anankin chose them as his legion
Some ones hated the jedi, but actually most clones got close to each other
It's his joke at this point I think
Great vid bro but u forgot the battle of malastare
Fun Fact: the 501st legion is based on the Waffen-SS
Interesting
dont even compare ss and 501st

2:16 there is no clone gunner on the at-te
How about UNSC Vs Galactic Republic

Was order 66 the default setting of a failing chip? If not, out of the 150 contingency orders, why was order 66 the one Tups defaulted to? I get story-wise they needed for it to be order 66 to find out about the chips, but from a non story perspective, it leads me to definitely infer that if a chip is failing order 66 is used as a last ditch effort for a clone to take out a Jedi.
They where deployed at Skippio aswell
Do one for the 7th sky corps pleaseeeeee
So previously when discussing this Kenobi at Crystophsis I believe, if I remember correctly, that it was argued that he committed war crimes based off the Geneva convention. Now you’re saying galactic standard but there hasn’t been a galactic war in some time and the republic hasn’t had any standing military for some time. Understanding this I have to ask what standard?
There is no standard. At least none to our knowledge in canon. Everything we impose on the Galaxy in terms of what is and is not a warcrime is strictly based off of how it operates in our own world.
@@sentinal_entity the key statement is “we impose” but people talk about it as though it has a canon source which it does not. Which means everything is true to whatever you wish to believe.
@@adarkwind4712
I agree.
Oh man 😳4 years
two force users survied against a venator full of clones wow
What about the 2nd battle of Geonosis???
Alan:*Calls the Jedi a "threat"*
Me(An intellectual):The Jedi where the guardians of peace and justice in the republic and I cannot and will not subscribe to your interpretation of things.Operation:knightfall was not pacifist...It was mass genocide.I speak for the republic and the Jedi when I say "The true threat to the republic was the Emporer!!!!!"
Wait...so is anakin in command of the entire 501st legion? Or is he only in charge of torrent company alongside Rex. Because there would have been thousands of troops assigned to that battalion.
What about Legends 501st?
Wait, what about the Felucia battle when Ahsoka was kidnapped?
Im shocked this vid aint like an hr and a half long
You missed some battles . But great video overall
How about mentioning all the battles from Legends too, like Kashyyyk?
That we know of!
501st 212th 332nd 327th and the 104th best clone uints
operation nightfall
the fact the title is 501st but the icon is 332nd.
what i took away from this, is that war crimes are only acceptable when saving clone lives
This will take a while
I thought clones grew to like the Jedi and trust them, not the other way around?
And you forgot the 2nd battle of geonosis
Cool
I read the thumbnail as "History of the Soist"
how did 8 people dislike? bell ends!
Does the 1st order have a 501st legion?
Looks like whereverr the 501st clones are sent. The 212th would be present
Never want to face this very dangerous duo 😐😐😐
Alan, didn't the Clone Wars only last for 3 years?
Y'all left out like half the battles they were in anyone who's play Battlefront II would know about and half the ones from the TV show
The 501st legion was reliable for all the major conspiracy outbreaks in the clone wars.
I've seen the Mandalorian, the book of Boba Fett, Andor, etc.... But I just can't bring myself to watching these highly animated series - they just don't appeal to me....

Makes sense for the 501st to deploy everywhere and Anakin Skywalker as their leader since Palpatine was grooming Anakin into being the face of the Republic and have enormous popularity during the Clone War
not at the begining he didnt hold that much power so all he could do was push for a vote or action. once he became chancilar hell ya he did
@@kevind3974 Exactly since he was elected Chancellor right after the Battle of Naboo, he had more than ample time to set up Anakin as the poster boy and to pre determine the battles or engagements that Anakin/Anakin’s battalion would personally serve
@@kingbooomer9231 he also at that point in time would be the one in charge of directing the clone army's creation and structure, the separatist, and the republic. the only thing he did not control or knew the variables of to a t were outside fources like rebel sects, resistence fighters, exstreamist, and higher powers then he in the form of mortis. so besides the jedi he really had no oposition to him
Clones didn’t know Anakin was Vader though
@@breezy3054 The 501st did, it’s explicitly stated in a lot of the writing that they knew his identity and was the reason why they were still around after Order 66
Wasn't the 501st also involved with the second battle of Geonosis along with Kenobi and Mundi's troops?
Yh bro
Probally torrent company of the 501st( anikan and asokhas company and rexs and our boys like fives kessie kix harcase etc.)
Yes, but not the whole legion. The 212th and the Galactic Marines had far more troopers on site, but I was also wondering the same thing as you
Yh I think it was only a squad.Yoi know they foight in the battle cause all 3 leigons had different armour on and the 501st had plain white phase 1 on so they werw there but only like 4 squads or so
The fact the 501st survived so many battles is a testament to Anakin's leadership skills and the comradire felt among the members.
Don't forget Rex
Part of it was that the other part was because palpatine made sure anakin didn’t fight in any battles with low odds of success that’s why krell temporarily takes over for a while
501st Clone Trooper: "My first day as a member of the 501st... it was hot, it was sandy, chaotic. Nothing at all like the simulations on Kamino. Of course that's pretty much the way it was for all of us, wasn't it? All that breeding, all those years of training... doesn't really prepare you for all the screaming or the blood, does it? Frankly, I'm still amazed we ever made it through the first hour, never mind the first day."
JUST LIKE THE SIMULATIONS.
It was like the simulations lol

Still remember when the 501st Legion was just a group of Imperial Remnant's stormtroopers who helped Luke and Mara Jade during the quest of the Outbound Flight's survivors
I've always been anoyed by how they try to connect EVERYTHING in Star Wars. Not everything need to be connected to the Skywalker or the clone war, or both.
@@Torlik11 well their connected do to the massive change they cause. clone war=fall of the republic and jedi, skywalker=empire and fall of the empire. cant run away from history that shaped the galexie as a whole (thou the people ya, luke dosnt need to show up everywere, even if it is true that he exsplored the galexie for almost 20 years before making his school). you want a fresh story go read the old/high republics runs they happen 200-3000 years before those events happen

The finest man in the entire clone army
agreed my friend that they are indeed
It was always a bit of a shame that the Clone Army was supposedly just 200,000 strong at the outbreak of the Clone Wars. People don't wanna hear this but it's literally just bad writing by George Lucas back in 2000-2001 prior to the release of AOTC Episode II in 2002, during production. 200,000 _is laughable_ for any kind of galactic army. The Republic isn't some peripheral rump state at least immediately before the Clone Wars - it is a league of literally thousands of star systems.
Without a shadow of a doubt, there would be more planets in some way touched by the Republic (even if not part of it) than there were active, battle-ready clones in the First Battle of Geonsosis. No matter what anyone says, this _never made sense_ even if we remember that 'a million more clones' were 'well on the way'. The only way it remotely 'makes sense' is for the Grand Army of the Republic to be receiving fresh batches of around 200,000-400,000 per week, _at least_ and the idea of a million more coming in per month would be far more interesting. I've always seen it that way.
Yes, the Rebel Alliance got by with minimal numbers, hefty plot armour, cellotape and well-wishes, for years, and somehow didn't get crushed by the Empire (though coming close several times) Numbers aren't everything - but that in itself belies the fact that the Rebel Alliance was surprisingly big by the end of the Galactic Civil War and could quite easily outnumber isolated Imperial forces like they did at Jakku.
I get the idea that a small, mobile rebel force, can fight the Empire. But the CIS is not the Rebel Alliance and has to operate very differently - they are a contender to the throne in terms of their stance against the Republic. The Separatists outnumber the Republic easily in terms of military units, though the Republic and Jedi win on quality over quantity.
Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that Napoleon's Grand Armee in the year 1812 numbered over 3/4 of a million men - and that was just _his_ army. The Roman Empire at it's height of power maintained forces of roughly 450,000 legionaries and auxiliaries, in a roughly 5 million sqkm Empire.
200,000 Clones would really be a decent systems army. The focus on Legions is partly to blame for this - with such heavy emphasis on individual legions like the 501st, the bigger picture of a realistic galaxy-wide war is inevitably obscured. Downplaying the CIS numbers has been going on since 2005, with some attempt to even the odds. The Clones are made out to have endless numbers fighting a practically unending number of even more numerous droids, but there you go - this is a confusion created by a deliberate lack of clarity on the numbers.
Lucas and those after him didn't want to get bogged down defending this or that number, so he came up with a massively arbitrary number of '200,000' or charitably '1,200,000' in the short term, to make it sound like an impressive army. I wouldn't have a problem with it if these were just the starting prototype batches and that the real numbers were really going to aim for the billions.
However elite the Clones are made out to be, it is laughable to think 200,000 Clone Troopers would begin a galaxy wide war. It'd be like Norway declaring war on NATO it's just stupid. Over 8,000 clones fell on Geonosis on Day 1 of the war, and I'm not entirely sure if that accounts for Republic Commando losses either. Over 180 Jedi (out of ~10,000-11,000 in the galaxy) perished that day too, mainly in the Petranaki Arena. Within weeks the Clones are fighting in massive battles such as Muunilinst and Hypori, sustaining appalling losses in the later disaster (where many Jedi fall too)
The Clones are going to have large attrition rates. Childish notions of military strategy make it seem 'acceptable' if half an army is rendered casualties in year 1 of the war, but in real terms that would have disastrous consequences. Only a relatively small portion of a total military machine being destroyed by enemy action, would/could have massive impacts. E.G. Three Roman Legions being wiped out in the Battle of Teutoberg Forest was a major disaster for the Roman Empire, and yet it represented only a smaller portion of their actual numbers. The defeat in it's own right was a terrible blow. Obviously the Star Wars Galactic Republic is not the Roman Empire, but the point still stands.
Catastrophic prestige value losses would be incurred by losing even just a small part of the GAR. This happened repeatedly the Clone Wars. The charitable interpretation is always going to be that Palpatine intervened and stopped one side or the other getting too successful, puppeteering the war to go the way _he wanted_ for the purposes of the Sith. The main reason the CIS didn't just use their 100 to 1 numerical advantages to crush the Republic in a matter of months, could be put down to Palpatine's meddling. Obviously he never gave a damn about the Separatists and was just using them as 'Disposable Fall Guys Number 1' along the 'Disposable Fall Guys Number 2' in the Republic. They were both his pawns.
However, the point remains; 200,000 is just a weirdly small number for such a gigantic conflict. The only way it makes sense is if it is explained that these were just the front-runners and that in reality the Clones were coming through in the tens of millions by year 2. Otherwise, the drastically greater Droid numbers look too suspiciously held back and reserved. Sure, the Clones will and did absolutely ratio the deliberately dumbed down Droids in battle, yet the sheer overwhelming number of them should have been obvious.
When General Grievous tries to use _The Malevolence_ to go after 60,000 injured clones at a medical space station facility, the fact that it was considered absolutely shattering if Grievous managed to kill 60,000 Clones in a day should clearly show that Disney has not done much to rectify and solve the numbers problem. 60,000 injured clones being killed would be a tragedy don't get me wrong, I'm just saying, if the GAR had hundreds of millions of Clones like it should, then the reality of that particular situation would be more localised and not as appalling in the wider strategy of the war.
In WWI, on the Western Front _alone_ over 50,000 men per week were being killed. At those rates of loss, the first wave of the GAR would be gone in 1 month, on the Western Front alone. This is obviously horrendous, I'm just making the point that in a *galaxy wide war fought on thousands of worlds for 3 years* that the losses would be, worse, so so much worse. We're talking hundreds of millions to billions killed, with even more civilian casualties in the crossfire.
In the Siege of Leningrad alone, over a million people died, in WWII. In the Summer Offensives of 1918, over 2 million casualties were seen on all sides. There would be situations like this all over the galaxy. No, the warfare wouldn't be exactly the same as WWI or WWII tactics and certainly not tech, but the thing is, based on what we see in Star Wars, most of what is going on seems to be based around bog standard light infantry tactics. When you boil it down, the losses are still gonna be horrific. Star Wars Clone Troopers and Stormtroopers are hardly IoM Space Marines or Forerunner Prometheans, or even UNSC Spartans. They are going to be falling in tragic numbers.
Clone Troopers are better infantry than most and have many specialist roles from their pilots to their engineers, but the reality is that most of them are riflemen, trained for infantry tactics in both ground and boarding assaults. Aerial tactics come in with units like the 212th Attack Battalion, and the abundance of LAAT/i Gunships makes for a strong suit in the air assault department. However, the CIS can often match them in space battles and in terms of leadership quality.
The Republic has more powerful warships and more powerful heavy ground vehicles/armour, but the Droids can pump out a lot more medium armour and a lot more cheaply too. The fact is that the Droid B1s are pretty poor, but their sheer numbers make them unnervingly dangerous contrary to their stupid seeming ways. Clones will ratio them - and Jedi definitely will, to a laughable extent - though the Jedi are 10,000-11,000 dwindling space wizards with energy swords that are really a specialised peacekeeping elite that are neither a true army, nor enough to win the war on their own.
During TCW series, it is seen as a 'back-breaking' plan for 5 million extra clones to be ordered by the Senate. Padme and others fight against this military creation act with vigour, as they want to avoid the deregulation of the banks (yawn...thrilling story line, not -.- ) But the fact is, that 5 million extra clones shouldn't even come close to destablising Republic finances _that much_ it's crazy. It comes down to a huge misunderstanding since 2002's Clone numbers on Geonosis, with people making excuses apologetically for Lucas's shoddy writing. It's literally that simple and why this is hard to grasp is strange. If Lucas turned round by the release of ROTS and said 'yeah but you do realise that 200,000 was like the first 0.1% of the first year's clones coming into service?' then it would make a whole lot more sense.
I remember as a 7 year old watching the Umbara arc episode after episode as it aired and it made me think how amazing this already amazing group of clones were. Even with a leader like Pong krell who was deliberately trying to send the clones to their deaths, the 501st still fought to the bloody end and managed to come out on top. It was an ingenious arc and made me realise that there is often little honour on the battlefield
And how terrible the Jedi could be

Some* Jedi. I'd hardly even consider pong krell a Jedi, he just had lightsabers and wore their robes but didn't represent their ideals (waiting for someone to call me out and say they're actually the villains lol)
@@sentinal_entity, I wouldn't say the Jedi were the "villains" (that's obviously Palpy McScrotumface), but they had definitely lost their way and forgotten who they really were when they got caught up in the Clone Wars. I think that by war's end, there were really only a few Jedi who still truly held up to their ideals despite the galaxy's situation, and one of them wasn't even a part of the Order.

Hey Generation Tech! Love the content and binging older videos inspired me to watch all Star Wars media in chronological order. That being said, I just finished Rebels and found some of the force based characters and plot points like Bendu and the Lothal wolves to be super interesting. Any plans to create more content based on the pre original trilogy galactic Civil War Era or go in depth on Rebels like you have with Clone Wars?
The second battle of geonosis wasn’t mentioned why
Is this really every battle the 501st participated in? It seems kind of low
True, though it might just be the ones the series showed.
It's also possible that the Clone Trooper legions didn't get divided up nearly as much as real-world formations do. So, if the Legion fought in a battle somewhere, the _entire_ Legion was there, not just a couple platoons or companies. I mean, they have captains and colonels (or colonel-equivalent officers) shown in overall command of the Legion, so it's possible that the Legion wasn't really all that large - battalion-strength, maybe, since that's what an IRL colonel would be in charge of - and wouldn't be very effective if they divided up their forces much.
If that's the case, then this might literally be all the engagements the Legion fought in. Many of the campaigns lasted for months, after all, and the whole war only ran for about four years.
