The Inner Workings of the Clone Wars' Most Unique Starfighter - How OP Was the Geonosian Design?

[@IBW_3000]

Considering what they did with Dooku’s solar sailer, these guys were in charge of the droid factories for a reason. If only their story didn’t end with Tarkin…

[@zacharyweaver276]

At least in legends they weren't wiped out even if they didn't do much after the clone wars until that war with those insect aliens

[@FastTquick]

Geonosian weapons and craft were the most alien even by Star Wars standards. I remember in Star Wars: Republic Commando where Geonosian Elite forces were armed with beam cannons that were literally embedded into the arms of their users.

[@brothersgt.grauwolff6716]

Don't Remind Me

[@Rjfromoutsouth.04]

“Good thing those bugs can’t aim” *Gets absolutely obliterated*

[@calebdonaldson8770]

Famous last words.

[@inductivegrunt94]

Yup, these bugs do aim. And it's very interesting how this whole thing is pretty much magnetically attached by each section, possibly meaning emp weapons could cause the fighters to fall apart like legos. If that's how it works that is, most likely it's not the case. But an interesting Starfighter with a unique design and functionality in regards to the species that uses it. Though I could never properly fly the dang things in both OG BF games.

[@marshalllatta2073]

I love the geonosian starfighter they are so cool and so unique and so fast l wish we seen more them in clone wars

[@LocalCryptidGhostdoll]

This really is such an oddly designed ship, I never took a moment to appreciate it before

[@indianajones4321]

I think Sev embodies how I feel about Geonosians

[@andreykuzmin4317]

It always amused me, how both CIS and laye Republuc/Empire both adopted swarm crafts, such as Nantex, Vulture, V-wings and TIE fighters, as space superiority fighters, such as Z-95s and ARC-170s became too vulnerable to interceptors. And then in GalCiv war we see exact reverse of that military trend, with light interceptors being replaced with superiority fighters, such as X- and E-wings, Avengers and Defenders, and even interceptors getting shield generator as a standart feature. It's amazing the Baktoid engineers were able to cram d3flector into such sleek starfighter, tbh.

[@Miles614]

The Geonosian pilots were so good at what they did that we never once heard about them. Legendary!

[@catastros654]

The Nantex has always been my favourite starfighter, such a shame that only geonosians can pilot them

[@AdamTehranchiYT]

Dettecting some coralskipper vibes, wondering how a confrontation would have worked out.

[@zexalbrony4799]

Since you just talked about a starfighter used in the Clone Wars, how about a video on the A-DSD Advanced Dwarf Spider Droid the Droids seen in the Republic Commando game? Also, since you mentioned Severance Tan(hope I spelled that right), maybe consider a video discussion Dooku's Dark Acolytes he had during the Clone Wars?

[@Americandragonrider333.]

Geonosian Starfighters I’ve alway found cool! So unique and look so cool!

[@janwitts2688]

Would be interesting how well it would perform with a jedi pilot

[@AhsokaFanboy1138]

It would have to be heavily modified, since there are no Geonosian Jedi or Sith.

[@dragonweyr44]

You said that each fighter was bonded to a specific pilot and that one only, but what happened if the ship was destroyed and the pilot survived or vice versa?

[@cerealsgames3118]

I love the cross sections from the books of these ships

[@rob2540]

seperatist probe droid video would be amazing😇

[@thundermite1241]

There was also an upgraded vairent from galactic battlegrounds it did have a hyperdrive too

[@brokenbridge6316]

Stormtrooper: We can't aim Everyone else: We aim just fine

[@thepsychicspoon5984]

For Star Wars, if you become a "bad guy," your abilities drop significantly.

[@cellianexurianity5021]

What about the heavy version of the nantex, that launches volleys of homing missiles capable of disintegrating other starfighters in seconds, and rip even acclamators apart horribly without their escorts?

[@merafirewing6591]

I bet Anakin Skywalker would have a challenging time to fly that starfighter.

[@TheTeutonicPlague]

Spinning is truly, undoubtedly, a good trick.

[@lerneanlion]

If the Geonosians required no sleep, why we saw some of them sleeping in the catacombs under the droids' factory in the Clones Wars?

[@jonfoy6477]

The pilot class doesn't sleep. Those were probably warrior class

[@brothersgt.grauwolff6716]

I'd guess they were in a form of Torpor or Stasis not true sleep able to be instantly activated and in their ships in seconds

[@RazSofer-xh3qs]

Clones: Good thing those bugs can’t aim Geonosion: We have better aim than your stormtroopers Stormtroopers: 😢

[@jasonscott4749]

Can you do a video about the j-10 dual blaster cannon, the rare weapon that the separatist uses.

[@darthmaxson3022]

This thing was so fun in bf1 and bf2

[@dankdaze42069]

Lower channels are the only thing keeping me busy on KZbin 👍... Thanks for some content to consume

[@idolizedpluto]

Bugs with aimbot, scary stuff. "cHEaTerS, i WAnT to SEe THe RePlaY" -Salty Clone

[@EliseKehle]

anyone got sources on their deep space performance in megalights?

[@arandoml0gan117]

Indeed, those bugs can aim

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

It's a shame most geonosians were wiped out by the empire.

[@shadows4400]

Good 😈

[@bizmasterTheSlav]

It's not. They are pests.

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

Even rex said they don't deserve extinction.

[@donaldbell2554]

very awesome

[@lacucaracha111111]

Flightcomputer link ..... Protocol 1 establish link to pilot Protocol 2 Uphold the mission Protocol 3 PROTECT THE PILOT ;-;7

[@reallybigmistake]

The game Galactic Battlegrounds has a whole tech tree for the Geonosian fighter and it has more advanced models of it. Sadly, these models only appear in this game and no other Star Wars books, games or comics ever used them.

[@janwitts2688]

Cut away looks like a xenomorph pilot..

[@EliseKehle]

its specs on paper rival the A-wing!

[@mrenzyme9715]

Nan Tex Class exists Delta Squad demolition:

[@robertagu5533]

Was guess OPed in some respects despite lacks of wings for most part an only kinda got a weapon if was agile and shielded/armoured enough

[@macwade2755]

This is Canon for me!

[@michaelandreipalon359]

I wouldn't call a Geonosian-only niche starfighter "overpowered". Exclusives just can't catch on in a galaxy that hungers for natural diversity even in warfare. Not helping is that I enjoyed flying the Republic LAAT/i more in the Battlefront I simulations, and was a bit woeful when they weren't included in the BF II sims... although at least there were no Geonosians and Nantexes flying around anymore.

[@ReginaMerriweather]

Those bugs can aim.

[@quantemwensday]

good thing those bugs can't aim because that aim assist would be pointless

[@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462]

Didn't Bevel Lemelisk have a hand in these things' creation?

[@DarthVages]

👍

[@thesauceman2529]

hehe funny bug ship

[@janwitts2688]

12 adverts?? Why

[@goldeagle6431]

The Senate is the MOST unique.
