The Most Pointless Space Battle of the Clone Wars: The First Battle of Felucia (And 2nd & 3rd)

[@TetsuShima]

Tbh, if we consider the fact the entire war was just a puppet show orchestated by Palpatine, every single battle was pointless from the beginning...

[@davidordaz5251]

True too bad there was no justice for the clones and droids that were used in palps war game

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

The very theme of the Clone Wars from every perspective was the pointlessness of war

[@alexanderrahl7034]

In a vacuum, sure. But the effects the war and battles had were just as important to him, as the puppet show itself.

[@masteroftheassassins]

I was just about to say the same thing.

[@maximillianschauer1439]

But it wasn't too if you consider alot of wars and battles helped civilizations on those planets under rough rule st the time.

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

By far the coolest depiction of Felucia comes from Force Unleashed. The Felucian were so alien and had slight innate force abilities, the Rancor had cool coloring making them oddly beautiful, and the entire jungle/environment just felt alive. It’s a shame we never got to see the planet like this in the show.

[@thalmoragent9344]

Yeah, we saw snippets of it, thats all

For those who wonder, Felucia would be later conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong. Once the invasion ended, ithorians colonized the planet and made it their new home, as Ithor was completely destroyed by the Vong

[@StonewallTitlow]

Dang. Felucia the homeworld of two different species.

[@RorikH]

Had no idea Felucia was that important. I figured it was just a cool jungle planet we kept seeing because it was a cool jungle and an awesome Battlefront II level.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

That is exactly why we see it a lot, it just needed an universe reason to be returned to a lot

[@MBP1918]

It's a good thing we were wearing helmets, because none of us could bear to look her in the eye.

[@ObiClon]

Felucia, one of the most beautiful if not hellish planets in the Star Wars galaxy. And it doesn't matter if it was above or on the planet, the fights there were even more hellish

[@thalmoragent9344]

Always a shame to hear of all the casualties on board the Republic ships during these disastrous battles. May the force be with the homies, for real

[@blankface5052]

Wasn’t felucia the commerce guilds hq and close to raxus, the separatist capital. I thought that was why it was such an important front

[@charliepaglini2466]

According to battlefront 2, Felucia was part of a trade route, that’s why it is so popular

[@zexalbrony4799]

Oh, so that battle in space we saw in the season 2 Clone Wars opener was an actual space battle. I just thought that Obi-Wan and Anakin's original fleet was taken out like what happened at Ryloth, so Plo Koon and the crew were just sent to evacuate them like what happens at the Citadel later, but I guess they were part of the space battle the entire time.

[@popcorn8153]

The older clone wars show did a way better job with most large-scale battles. How could a baker's dozen of vessels actually take a planet? Even though its fiction that always felt ridiculous

[@zexalbrony4799]

@@popcorn8153 Now to be fair, those vessels can usually carry thousands of troops given their size, and considering most planets only have a few settlements on them that need to be taken to secure the planet as the rest is uninhabited unimportant areas, it's actually very believable that just a small fleet of 10 to 20 Venators or Acclemators could take a planet.

[@zebfirehd9102]

@@zexalbrony4799 now if we talking about a city world yeah its impossible without just orbiting bombardment

[@zexalbrony4799]

@@zebfirehd9102 Oh yeah a world like Coruscant is impossible to take in general, but especially so with all a small fleet of like 10 to 20 ships, but for a world like Feulcia it's very doable with that amount.

[@molalla2546]

Which planet would you rather be stuck on? Felucia or Mimbam. Both are a different type of hell.

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

Definitely not umbara.

[@RorikH]

You get stuck on Mimban, you get eaten on Felucia.

[@williamkeogh710]

If you look honestly at the attack on the Death Star in Ep 4 from a tactical pov you'll realize that everyone in the SW universe has worse military skills than General Custer... No wing man tactics, no thatch weave, no cover for the fighters down in the trench itself... Only plot armor thicker than the Bismarck's main belt could have saved the day... But beyond the abysmal tactics I still genuinely love Star Wars.

[@amanzeihedioha]

Interesting thumbnail! Anakin and Obi-Wan arguing while Rex goes "Sweetness" in the back🤣

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

Maybe the republic should have recruited the jungle felucians aka the felucian warriors, since they know the jungles better.That and they have low-light vision, are well trained, and they have a bone to pick with the gossams. Although theirs a chance that having them on the republic's side may not have guaranteed victory in the earlier battles.But their knowledge still would have given the jedi and clones a better chance at taking the planet especially during the outer rim sieges.

Literaly, the duel on Felucia between Shaak Ti and Starkiller was more fundamental to the story of the galaxy than all the Clone Wars battles fought there 😅

[@Dondingdingding]

Shame they didn't made the 182nd legion canon. They were the first to be deployed in felucia and was completely wiped out with only 1 survivor for the entire legion

[@luckyroogaming3142]

How about the space battle around that space station that surrounded an entire planet, where tup prematurely executed order 66 (I forgot the name of the plant but can u do a video explaining that battle, and weather the republic won or lost)

[@keule329z.4]

No matter how pointless a battle is, it will never be that kind of Atraken- or Drongar-pointless.

[@lerneanlion]

If Felucia is pointless for the taking, why the Republic even tried to take it in the first place? And by that, I mean before Shu Mai made it her personal stronghold, of course.

questions: what strategic value did felucia had? Was the local fauna a highly sought out resource? Was it major hyper space route? What was the actual benefit in taking hold of felucia?

Both actually. Acording to the wiki, Felucia was a primary agricultural export and also a strategic location along the Perlemian Trade Route.

You have to stop this. TCW has nothing to do with either Battlefront 2 or the Clone Wars Multimedia Project. TCW and CWMMP are complete opposite to each other. Idk why TCW is even part of Legends. - The 501st wasn't Skywalker's Legion until Operation: Knightfall. - There were no stupid chips. - Ahsoka didn't exist. - Kenobi and Grievous only met in RoTS. (Face to face at least.) - Grievous wasn't a pathetic coward. - Mandalorians were completely different.
