Clone wars was a complete masterpiece, but another masterpiece is the legacy era as it combines the ancient era with Prequels and its own unique feel. I hope Eck produces more content on the legacy era. We hope you see this Eck, keep up the good work!

[@christianvanvleck2267]

In what ways does it combine them? That sounds interesting

[@DM5550Z]

@@christianvanvleck2267 The spirit of the Sith exile XoXaan (who helped found the Sith order) called out to Darth Krayt (Jedi Survivor A’sharad hett, then a bounty hunter) and played his emotions to get revenge on Vader and Palpatine. Another Exile, Karness Muur and a frozen Jedi Knight also awoke and caused havoc. One of the largest points of lore though was the lost tribe of the Sith, an ancient offshoot of the Sith order c. 5000 BBY that got marooned on a planet in wild space, built themselves back up from nothing and then a rogue Sith meditation sphere rescued them, and they returned via infiltrating the galactic alliance, fighting the Jedi and capturing Coruscant after 5000 years. Many more minor examples too in the legacy era.

[@DM5550Z]

@@christianvanvleck2267 In terms of prequels also note there are a ton of callbacks especially in legacy of the force and legacy comics. The authors of the legacy comics made aayla secura and much of the PT characters in their republic comics, to the extent GL brought some of their characters into the movies.

[@noahsben_jamin5459]

Never will I be tricked by peanut butter in my ramen again

[@T-Rev951]

Not gonna lie, in the canceled Utapau arc. Obi-Wan made a jab at the Geneva Convention (i.e. the Yavin Convention in Star Wars) but the convention is hundreds or thousands of years old (I can't remember the exact line). So it kinda does exist but most in-universe characters don't know or remember but I choose to accept the Yavin Convention as canon lol

[@CouncilCape897]

About 1,000 years old, according to Anakin. Although it was specifically the Yavin Code, which dictated that all prisoners are required to be blindfolded prior to execution, that most characters have forgotten about. Not the Yavin Convention as a whole. And I remember reading in Wookieepedia and other sources that the Utapau arc is officially considered canon despite its unfinished state.

[@alexanderkidonakis9185]

If you remove “not gonna lie” it sounds more like a fact

[@histguy101]

Then Anakin routinely broke Yavin convention ethics for war. Obi Wan, too, like when they regularly feigned surrender, but war crimes are cool when you're fighting a bunch of stupid robots

[@anthonypc1]

13:00 It's consistent with the dark character of Anakin to value the immediate victory over the longterm preservation of civilians. But I'm disappointed if the writers of the show glorified the unethical treacherous tactic of false surrender. Best not to normalize this shallow sense of righteousness for children, even if most will only ever be influenced to rationalize it in more petty contexts than war.

[@bpett1999]

Question: Did General Grievous need to eat? I ask this because, since he has an organic heart, organic lungs, and ESPECIALLY an organic brain, he must have been getting caloric intake from somewhere to be able to survive. Now, I’m not saying that he’s eating a sandwich for lunch or anything (besides, I’d imagine that it would be similar to how Vader’s “feeding tube” system works), but if he has to consume food, then Grievous presumably has a digestive system, and therefore would need to relieve himself from time to time, and how exactly would THAT work? Don’t take this too seriously… just an intrusive thought that I needed to let out of its cage

[@TheRealRusDaddy]

I think much like that one russian astronaut grievous got absolutely obliterated and barely survived because of palpatine wanting to use him he was take just well enough care of to keep him alive and fighting but not actually improve his quality of life so imagine they rigged up some basic feeding system or it was automated by his robotic parts to feed the organic parts as needed 🤷‍♂️ also again since he got blown up i dont think he had to worry about having to use the bathroom and probably taken care of too thankfully we dont need to know if aliens pool because im pretty sure they do according to the old real lore

1:43:38- I did start off by saying this might be a easier way to explain it….. but like with everything else, if someone wants to argue and make things seem more complicated then it needs to be then it can turn into a more complicated conversation!!! Anyway, I didn’t take this ad far as I could have (aka if someone is trying to make it more complicated) but it should be good enough! Hyperspace = highway Regular space travel = roads Town = immediate area around that planet State = future away areas Obviously if you just need to go a short distance you don’t need to go into hyperspace. But if you need to get to a planet further away than you need to go into hyperspace. And just like highways, it doesn’t go through every state! So some time you need to get off one highway and drive down 1 or a few different roads and then jump on another highway!

At the end of the day, that false surrender was fine, because when it comes to stopping the Separatists from starving out a population, any means are acceptable.

[@AnonD38]

14:38 Anakin did the right thing. He set the precedent that the Republic would not be deterred just because the enemy was using civilians as human shields. The actions of Anakin might have prevented civilians from being used as shields in future battles.

[@PromethiaSHADOW]

One of the biggest problems with the venator was system redundancies that caused excess power drain.... A problem that carried over to the ISDs

[@coycook7268]

I know the ARC-170 has a pilot, co-pilot, and gunner but I always figured the "gunner" was really only responsible for the rear facing armament. While the co-pilot is responsible for the forward facing cannons. He of course could take over full piloting controls if the pilot was incapacitated. However his main assignment was to track, navigate, dispatch targets of opportunity, as well as hitting harpoints.

For the Lucrehulks, i’d imagine when the republic ordered the Trade Federation to break up their fleet, they just erased the rolls of ships and immediately hid them on or around Separatist planets. That way, the lucrehulks could immediately be refit for military service. In the unlikely event the ships were found, The Trade Federation could just say they sold them.

I'd argue that Obi-Wan's surrender on Crystophsis was genuine, there was no prior plan for him to surrender and he was disarmed and under armed guard. He could argue that he believed the plan had failed and was discussing terms when another unit that hadn't surrendered interrupted the negotiation and gave him an opportunity to escape custody and take his captor prisoner.

1:23:15- That is one of those questions that I still can’t find any answers on!?! Probably because it’s not a big issue (nor a issue at all) but also no one else really cares…….

Since you know, none of the natives from that plant have hair lol And I’m pretty sure according to the timeline the first time we see Captain Rex without his helmet on his hair is already dyed!?!

Love these vids Eck. My question is why didn’t someone clone grains to sell to galactic backwater worlds, clone kolto(I chose kolto not bacta as to not upset the bacta cartel on Thyferra) to treat the sick and collect water from comets and gas giants to sell to desert worlds? As for the Arc 170 I would’ve given the rear gunner role to the R-2 and fixed the guns and given control to the pilot. An improved power plant would’ve increased speed and shields. Another question is would u put a turbo laser inside a GR-75? With 60 meters in cargo space I would use half of it for a power plant to specifically power the turbo laser.

[@AcoylteKraven82]

2:04:53- I know this is probably just me and it’s just me overthinking it but I feel like Death Troopers and Dark troopers should have started with with each others name lol Seriously, if you actually put any thought into it which sounds scarier, Death Troopers or Dark Troopers?!? Obviously the one that literally has the word “Death” in it! The the one that ends up being scarier is the Dark Troopers which are the ones that are robotic and can’t be taken down with just regular blasts and are almost impossible to beat! Me personally, I’m not a fan of Dark Troopers. I don’t know when it was technically added to the story (not when in the timeline) but the Dark Troopers just felt like the “one upping” game where if you said you got a flat tire, the other person would say they got 4 flat tires. And if you said your motor died, then would say their whole car blew up and so on and so forth! You know, stupid stuff like that! It just felt a bit forced for no real reason!!!

[@michealdrake3421]

14:00 Whenever this comes up in a conversation and I have to explain the problem with false surrender, I just say that if I were a CIS commander, all troops under my command would be under standing orders to kill any clone or Jedi attempting to surrender, because statistically it's probably a trap. Of course as a CIS commander I'd also make extensive use of incendiary and biological weapons, both of which my droids are immune to and the latter of which can be tailored to clone DNA, eliminating the collateral damage that normally accompanies the use of such tactics. I would wipe out entire armies without firing a bolt or even disrupting the day to day lives of civilians. Seriously, the CIS dropped the ball in a big way with the bioweapons. 21:00 From a tactical perspective, it's kind of odd that the Venator has so many turbolasers at all. Modern aircraft carriers use their aircraft as their offensive weapons, and only have a handful of defensive weapons systems on board, instead relying on their aircraft and support fleet to intercept threats or destroy them before they get within striking distance. I suppose it makes sense to give them some offensive weaponry, simply because of the reliance on line of sight weapons, but it's still designed as a carrier, and better suited to serve as one.
