I'd argue that the B1 battle droids that fought the gungans in the battle of Naboo are technically remote operated drones rather than soldiers.

Which I guess would make what Jar Jar does not disrespecting and military use of corpses. Maybe unnecesary destruction?

For 12, Jango would realistically have been incapacitated from having his hand severed and mace was very able to force a surrender. Had he used his hidden weapons after being forced to surrender that would be a warcrime aswell. For 13, they're civilians recieving direct fire from precision weapons, not shrapnel, what else would they be shooting at, insects? And for 33, it's defenseless after it was disabled, the warcrime is pushing it off the cliff and killing the entire crew instead of taking them prisoner.

Daaaaamn dude, this is the series I didn't know I needed

[@notstazzmann9429]

This man rewatched all of TCW and found every single war crime. If that isn't like worthy then I don't know what is.

[@markderuijter2346]

8:26 wait killing the pilots who are actively piloting machines of war is considered unarmed? They are in a attacking tank lol

[@TheArgusApocraphex1]

Also, wouldn't Windu and the Jedi Order be drawn up for an attempted coup/trying to overthrow a legitimate government? Or is that not considered a war crime? Genuinely curious. Also wouldn't Order 66 count as breach of trust as well?

[@andrewtyrell4795]

Breach of trust, mind control, and forced cooperation. In addition to summary execution and genocide. Order 66 is basically a greatest hits collection.

[@a.williams3037]

My dad does trivia and I asked him how many war crimes were committed in the three films and the CW show, his response was in the fifties. That poor man had no idea.

[@edslushie570]

Wait a minute, that deleted scene with Grievous killing Shaak Ti in Revenge of the Sith actually contradicts the ending of the Clone Wars cartoons (that's presumably why it was cut), so you can't treat them both as having happened... Edit: So you're basically counting each of the Jedi's deaths twice? Once for the theatrical version and once for the animated concept version?

[@kiyo1396]

But Durge didn't die when obi-wan cut him in 2 during the 2d clone wars so it's not a killing war crime but definitely an attacking an unarmed combatant war crime

[@BiomechanicalBrick]

The way Obi Wan killed him in the end is def a war crime

Searched them throughout yt, usually like: TPM, AoTC, RoTS deleted scenes

They’re very much darker than what we all know and love. And I’m mad that they aren’t finished to make it look like actual cgi.

Great vid Yunyun! A galaxy full of warcrimes.

Always forget that Maul straight up tried to run Anikan down in the desert, not even knowing who he was 😅

[@AngelDust6969]

Am I the only one who doesn't get why things that happen to the battle droids are counted as war crimes when they're done on Droids and not actual living things?

[@Fulcrox]

They have their own individual mind, even if it is programmed, droids can actually surrender and stop fighting if they don't have a commander telling them to fight like we seen in the ship scene

[@ranran3902]

Futuristic A.I. sentience laws.

[@Blokewood3]

@@Fulcrox im pretty sure the battle droids don't have individual minds in the Phantom Menace. In that movie they are all controlled directly by the command ship, making it more like drone warfare. If they were individuals they wouldn't all shut down when the command ship is destroyed.

[@tk-6967]

They aren't living certainly, but they are sentient.

[@movieguyproductions4865]

For the last couple with Luke and Leia, wouldn't that be adoption? Obi Wan is technically their guardian since their parents are dead or believed dead, so shouldn't he have the right to give them to a new guardian? Other than that great vid, but that's been bothering me

[@ranran3902]

Well Obi-Wan did give Luke to his closest known relatives. For Leia, it could be argued that she was in the care of godparents since Organa was a close friend and mentor to Padam. Basically, sibling separation during the onset of war aftermath to a high profile figure who is certainly a target for the new regime if they continued to live is a very grey area.

[@movieguyproductions4865]

If Anikan killing children in self defense isn't a war crime, then I feel this shouldn't be either

Man that original grievous death scene was BRUTAL! Not to mention it's completely uncharacteristic for Obi-Wan. No wonder it was cut!

I love how the Jedi order, unaligned with the republic, only commits eight itty bitty war crimes, yet the whole republic thinks they're sus.

9:41, that was unintentional. During their duel, the controls for the thermal protection system was damaged, causing parts of the structure to fail under the heat.
