It's even odder that it ended up *anywhere* to begin with rather than, you know, destroyed after the egregious casualties it caused in the Exar Kun war. It apparently *can* be destroyed by regular blasters once it's no longer operational... the old Jedi just seemed to have elected not to for some reason? I always thought that it would have made more sense that Dooku found the plans for it somewhere else in some hidden/forbidden Jedi/Sith Archive or Holocron and was just building it in New Jers- I mean Raxus Prime to keep it secret and there was a lot of raw material around, possibly even really old components that might've been necessary.

@@manwithaplan5503 Unfortunately the Great Sith Wars aren't covered in a lot of material. Only the Tales of the Jedi comics, references in video games like KOTOR and Clone Wars (2002), and sourcebooks go over the war. It's a shame because the comics are really cool, and you wouldn't know it by how they're told but the Great Sith War was basically like 3 or 4 years with the final year being the most notable part where Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma met and organized their armies against the Republic. I would kill for more content elaborating on that period, but Disney messed up the canon, and I'm not a fan of their universe or their writers.

[@cloudftw113]

​@manwithaplan5503 The *only* explanation I can think of is that the Mandalorian Wars (from Knights of the Old Republic) started like 40 or so years after Exar Kun and Ulic Qel Droma's Bizzare Adventure aginst the Republic so they genuinely may have never got to looking since they didnt want to deal with anymore sith shit.

My favorite part is honestly how consistently everyone has their lightsaber out. Mace wakes up, turns on his lightsaber, goes to the ship, turns it off, gets in the ship and flies to the surface of the planet, turns his lightsaber on to get out of the ship then turns it off to get into the tank. Turns it on as he leaves the tank to get into another ship where he turns it off. Gets out of that ship and turns it on to walk to the tank then turns it off again. Then he gets out of the tank to talk to some soldiers so he has to turn it on before he gets into another ship to fly somewhere else where he must turn it off. Why? I just don't understand why he would bother doing that.

A small detail in one of the cutscenes I noticed that's actually pretty cool was during the briefing to the clones before the Thule mission. As a kid I thought it was funny that they had only 50 clones in that room, like that was the whole army that they had for the Thule attack, but as an adult I noticed all those clones are marked with red (Lieutenants) or gold/yellow (Commanders). In real life a military briefing like this would be shown only to the officers, who then disseminate it later to the lower ranked soldiers under their command. Pretty cool how they followed that with the clones ranks.

Man I remember playing this game with my friends back in the day. we would always to 2v2 conquest and the teams of two would often discuss strategy. the most common one was have one player build up the home while the other player rushes to the middle. It got some early fights going and whoever won the middle was often time the winner. One time however this meta was shaken. Team... Blue we'll call them Had captured the middle, Team red was a bit demoralized but had a plan. Team red gathered all of their troops at their HQ and didn't attack only defended. Blue team thought this was going to be easy pickings, they sprinted forth and skirmished with the bases. But after one was destroyed, Red set their plan into motion. Red had trapped the blue players in the outpost they destroyed by rushing in and gunning them both down. After this was complete. the Red team pushed Up on the D pad. and all 8 of their troops sallied forth and charged as one mass. Blue's attempt to stop them didn't pan out. They were encountering defeat after defeat trying to stop the Red mass. And thus Blue had their fate sealed. The Blue HQ was being over run by the Red mass. and their HQ was destroyed. Red had won the game. and shook the meta.

[@shadyw00d75]

I LOVED CONQUEST MODE 2v2. The meta in my friend circle usually was 1 player economy focused keeping the turrets up while the other harassed picking off a turret from each post and hitting the HQ in drive-bys. Separatist was kind of broken though cause on some maps you could fire the AAT without a lock and damage the HQ cross map. This game mode induced the love I have for PC RTS games today.

[@Byter09]

The jokes in this. Oh my god. I basically laughed the whole way through. That moment when the game completely halts and Vale says to just wait a bit. I was dead. 🤣

[@DavidiiXV]

I played this game to death as a kid. Seeing it on screen was like realizing something you'd dismissed as a dream was real. This unearthed an entire era of my past.

[@philipcockerham7383]

Bruh that nostalgia hits hard I got that double disc with my Xbox back in 2003 for Christmas!

[@Frankya92]

Same! I need to find it since I still have it

[@Zunist]

This is the best Star Wars game of all time for me simply for the nostalgia of the countless hours that me and my littler brother played this game together.

[@Apgl257]

Same here

[@DerConrad1]

I played Lord of the Rings Conquest 10 years ago at a friend's house and for the last 10 years, I tried to find it again. You just changed my life with an offhand joke.

[@Kandall05161]

This was also one of my fever dream games that I played once (I had the tetris double disk thing and remember also playing that accidentally trying to get my star wars fix) as a kid and have vague memories of but have never seen or heard about since then, thank you for proving to me that it existed

[@Intentionally_Inflammatory]

I just remember how when you throw a lightsaber, the characters upper and lower torso seemed to act independently... The upper torso would keep facing the lightsaber, while the legs would go whatever direction you were running 😂

[@jamesgaming7198]

I can't believe SS13 actually got to be in this game so early after its conception - truly a marvel of the robust UI and such.

[@bradley4465]

what?

[@eatmynutsarchmage4883]

least schizophrenic spessman

[@Nathanael_Forlorn]

honestly, for a first video essay this is phenomenal! Seems more like you've done this for 5 years. Im watching a bunch of different channels with that kinda format and you're holding up entirely, which is not at all expected. This stuff takes practice. Congrats!

[@Nathanael_Forlorn]

Uh, the outro music might get you into some trouble though. Disney does not fuck around with copyrights. I assume you expect the whole video to be claimed anyways, but the outro music might warrant a strike.

[@ethanneedham2380]

My friends and I used to play hours of this game’s multiplayer during Lan parties. The firefight was tons of fun and the campaign for my childhood was awesome. With all the walkers and and sound affects. It may not age well…but damn it was fun when I was young.

[@LMG3864]

I remember just jumping into conquest, capturing all bases, sending both armies to fight each other, and just pretending it was a singleplayer mode. Just don't shoot your allies too much or they'll turn around and shoot you back.

[@voidishprattles4319]

i loved this game as a kid there was an extremely small group of kids who liked the vehicles in Star wars specifically and this game was amazing in that extremely specific regard. Always wanted to play a game like this as the Empire. I remember playing this game and "RoboTech" around the same time and loving the niche "vehicle combat" genre like twisted metal. Also watching this game im surprised how little I actually remember about it, it really is a complete fever dream.

[@ninjasocks1048]

This video violently unlocked several core memories.

[@ApostleOfDarkness]

3:50 Lord of the Rings Conquest is a personal favourite of mine, I used to play the campaign for hours, again and again, solo and co-op, glad to know I'm not the only one that remembers it

[@glockenspiel604]

Me and my brother would always play through the campaign on opposite teams and compete against he each other.

[@jongothebongo6162]

I'm happy to know that people remember this game I use to play that bad boy on the GameCube and was one of my first games

[@barleysixseventwo6665]

Man, it’s been years since I saw this game! Always loved the weird hover tank gameplay. Just felt GOOD to strafe around like that. Also, the gunship was fun, because you could hold down all the buttons and turn the game into a disco.

[@mux1c]

I deadass loved this game on the PS2 as a kid. Just the fact that I was playing a star wars game was all I needed to enjoy it. Though I remember wanting there to be more parts playable as a jedi instead of it being 95% vehicular gameplay. Still holds a dear place in my heart for nostalgic reasons

[@normalcomic4768]

I remember playing this game as a kid but never finished it because I got stuck on the Mace Windoo walk section at 17:55 toward the gunship. I was being an idiot and trying to bruce force everything while walking thinking I was a one man army. "Oh there's a giant walking spider robot tank heading towards me? TIME TO SLICE AND DICE!!!"

[@TomoInAMask]

I remember playing this as a kid back when it first came out. Still love it to this day. Everybody should play it.

[@austinherby9218]

This game was an instant buy for me the moment they added to backwards compatibility back in November. It's one of those few games for me that really give you a big battle scale. All the stuff on Thule was incredible for me.

[@metroidman3893]

This was one of favorite games as a kid.

[@JDBD13]

For the longest time I've had an old memory of playing a Star Wars game with a mission to blow up the Techno Union ships and wondered to myself 'What was that game? It was good fun.' I have no other recollection of this game though and I don't know why just that bit has stuck with me so much.

[@x7y2k12]

I imagined this video was a Star Wars themed torture boardgame. I mean, there's no way there was a canon Sith Soul Harvester. Glad I was so very wrong, this looks awesome!

[@lasagne4536]

I liked the scene where Yoda pegged Dooku

[@jerrycoolmanio1]

This was straight up one of my favorite games ever, shame it seems forgotten by... nearly everyone. Hope for a port someday like star wars racer got.

[@denniselkin1195]

I was a child when I played this, so it just never occurred to me how completely ridiculous the plot was until I watched this

[@Therealravencry]

I think I remember playing this on the GameCube, I never played the campaign, my friend and I would get on and use a code to unlock a top down hoard defense mode in the Geonosis arena. That was a great time

[@LKN117]

Glad I'm not the only one with fond childhood memories of this game.

[@-Raylight]

I like it when Windu said *"It's Morbin time"* 😂 Ah yes, games back then when you can exploit AI's bad pathfinding by circling around them

[@shinsenshogun900]

It’s Windin time!

[@humblegroundskeeper7495]

This was my go to game when friends came over as a kid, I legitimately loved this game, I'm a touch sad that you didn't cover my favourite multiplayer mode where you in vehicle of choice defend coop against waves of enemies but there is an ending my friends made it to the end a couple times

[@miindymiindy]

wow, never expected someone to talk about that star wars game. thought i was the only person that remembered it. miss that game if only i could find a clean copy of it. i dont think i beat it as a kid since i was fucking stupid but amazing game and for once i have watched an entire vale video in about three years. good shit, thank you for being the only other person that knows this game.

[@honeybadger6275]

You could probably get an emulator and play it on pc.

[@energy7231]

hey

[@aveimperia4026]

This was my first video game. Unironically, this was the first video game I ever played, so seeing this video is bringing back so many memories of playing the neat Star Wars game on my dad's Xbox.

[@HumanStyleBeing]

How old are you?

[@aveimperia4026]

I'm 22. ​@@HumanStyleBeing

[@HumanStyleBeing]

It's amazing how time flies! Cherish it!@@aveimperia4026

[@Rex-qf7en]

I like how half the issues that he's dealing with in this game are because he's running a 60 fps emulation of the game, so the physics, gamespeed, and enemy AI are way more aggressive and damaging.

[@robinmattheussen2395]

The best thing about this entire video was that it reminded me of the fact that I actually only saw Episode II once (as a kid when it came out in cinemas) and I don't think I remember even a single thing about it. Which might honestly make it the *only* childhood trauma I've successfully repressed.

[@Corcook]

I absolutely loved this game as a kid. I played the campaign many times, loving the sithlord cheat code to get unlimited energy for my gunship too. Also the split screen geonosis arena mode was great fun. Played that with a friend a lot

[@Boneworm852]

I remember playing this with my friends and having an honest blast, thanks for covering it! Also, I actually had a copy of the comic where Ulic dies on Rhen Var, accidentally setting up these events, lol

[@OscarASevilla]

That fukin big ass "mission failed" sends me back...

[@f3arlessxtiger555]

I remember playing this fever dream of a game when I was a child. It is a special little game.

[@GandalfReagge]

Oh, also, the academy vehicle map had a cave. When I played this with my sister we'd always take the tanks and hide in there, popping out to kill some enemies then letting our shields recharge. Most of them couldn't be able to get inside :'D

[@Dragonite43]

I did the same thing. It was the only way to survive.

[@MrCheese1338]

Dude same, you could get to ridiculous wave numbers that way. Only the hailfire droids could reliably get inside, and a narrow band where you could be shot from outside meant it was a great holdout.

[@Unitednationofnation]

Even better is that the walkers could scale the inside of the cave so the mortar tanks can't hit you. So you pop your plasma shield, shoot all your mortars, then scamper back. So much fun.

[@jtnachos16]

I'd somehow memory-holed the Kashyyk level. 'Riding a dinosaur armed with 2 laser cannons, a seismic charge emitter, and a grenade launcher'. Are we sure this game wasn't a reskinned spin-off from Turok? 'riding a weaponized dinosaur through a jungle to kill mosquitoes' ARE WE SURE THIS ISN'T SOME ORPHAN CHILD FROM THE TUROK FRANCHISE? 'Uses a tank to blow up coffins while ghosts chase you around shooting fireballs' See above question.

[@Alzarath]

I forgot about this game. It was really quite fun as a kid. I remember liking playing as the walker, even though it was pretty challenging. But yeah, the transport was a lot of fun. Those laser beams were so satisfying.

[@guyofminimalimportance7]

The wookies moving so slowly that they inevitably die during the next cutscene feels like a perfect satire of escort missions making your ally as incompetent as possible.

[@thekingofcarcosa6408]

You just brought back so many memories of playing Lord of the Rings Conquest with my friends. Thank you
