It is possible that Sidious let loose intel for this campaign, but he spent years grooming Anakin to be his new apprentice when the time was right. Why send him in a mission that could guarantee his death. I know Anakin is hard to kill, but if the Chancellor wanted the Chosen One to be his, then this was a dumb move on his part. Even if you grant the whole “Sith betray one another.”

a lot of tactics in star wars make no sense, like how they often land in am extremely hot LZ or drop off vehicles from ships right into battle. makes no sense. its much better to use artillery, and air strikes to prestrike the enemy and suppress them, land in a secure safeish area and set up a command/rally point and then have your forces push up and flank the enemy and maintain a reserve/security element slightly behind. and make sure to use fire and movement. however most of star wars ends up being "run directly into the enemy and shoot until you win due to plot armor". kinda a shame

[@captainrex-cg4wr]

Exactly my thoughts, hated the planning that went into this assault. They sent in the main force before even getting an idea of what they were up against, or trying to soften up the defenses a bit. There were a few Y wings that ran bombing missions but not nearly enough to neutralize the AA, and nothing to counter the fighters. They needed two dedicated waves, fighters/ bombers, THEN the transports. Never have I heard about a landing without air cover, the gunships are just sitting ducks when fighters are present.

The Geonosian fighters moved up towards the acclamators, the Y-wings could descend once they found an opening.

[@Ryan_Silver_Fang]

PLOT

[@beepbeep2446]

The Y Wings probably destroyed the other anti aircraft points on the ground, and probably were more in use as Geonosian fighter defense (which probably wasn’t the plan). They use one squadron, find an opening and boom ground forces destroyed

[@aceofspadesguy4913]

Probably because Y-wings are much harder to shoot down than slow moving LAATs, and if a squadron was able to be spared it means the space battle was already turning.

[@christianjohnsalvador1121]

Yularen said that he has no air support to give at the moment as all squadrons are deployed, lets assume that he deployed all those squadrons, both fighters and Y-wings to take out fighters and suppress the anti-air defenses after seeing gunships being shot down one by one. later on we see him say "i have 1 squadron available" so they must've destroyed/suppressed all fighters and anti-air defenses and created an opening

[@caboosegaming9992]

Great video. I really liked how you lay out the tactics

[@TehAntares]

Overall, I dare to say that this battle went as best as it could. The planet of Geonosis is basically a big droid factory, therefore it was necessary to disable key facilities asap, without any prep operations, such as extensive recon, securing the bridgehead, and managing air superiority. This, of course, lead to big casualties, but on the other hand, with more "careful" strategy, the Republic forces would have to fight a prolonged war. And because of the droid factories, the Geonosians were able to replenish their lines very easily, and outnumber the Republic forces. The Republic would then very likely lose the whole campaign, unless it scrambled reinforcements from other fronts of the galaxy, potentially sacrificing much more territory in the Outer Rim.

If i had a fleet for the invasion of Geonosis, i would call it "The Geonosis Ground Breakers"

[@brendenalexander6178]

I would say the Battle of Umbara my most favorite battle. Wayyyy more gruesome then the second invasion of Genosis.

Some unmentioned stuff that we know they are occurred but not directly mentioned or seen. 1-Republic already swept the area with Y-Wings to eliminate any AA before the landing. 2-Geonosians hid their AA into the tunnels where they are safe even from the orbital bombardment. 3-Republic breakthrough battalions had Y-Wing escorting in case of any AA hidden safe from initial bombardment therefore they were supposed to be eliminated by the escorts. Although they did their job as can be seen, the saved AA were greater in numbers that they were able to swarm breaktrough battalions. 4-Clones that survived from crashing LAAT/i's before reaching the landing site were ordered to sweep the remaining geonosian AA therefore you cannot see any remaining Geonosians when Luminara tried to land. And you can see the remnants of the firefights while they were passing above the crash sites. 5-The Geonosian reinforcements which were encircling Commander Cody didn't came from the factory, in fact factory forces which were basically droids not geonosians were held back by Poggle the Lesser and the speeders and tanks piloted by Geonosians that were coming from the other side of the valley. They belong to the Geonosian defence forces where they were defending other parts of the valley in case of Jedi forces tried to approach elsewhere and were hastily drafted to the Point Rain once Palpatine gave them the info. 6-Geonosians kept the Republic airforce busy to prevent them eliminate any air support on the ground during the landing. 7-Republic landed on multiple fronts as they brought 6 Venators and 8 Acclamators but 4 Acclamators and 2 Venators were present at the Point Rain. The remaining ships must be landing elsewhere hence Yularen referenced that all the bombers were scheduled to be elsewhere because Geonosis not only consisted of a single factory.

Nice touch setting the geonosians at a left position in the map.

[@kj07video]

Mundi did lose his tanks however when he went through the cave.

[@Straswa]

Great vid Geetsly's!

[@michaelburt63]

Either the Battle of Mon Calamari, the Battle of Umbara, or the Battle of Kamino.

[@p.g.kuiper5167]

Does no one wonder why they didn't destroy the factory via orbital bombardment after they destroyed the shield generator? I mean, they had airsuperiority and knew that a ground battle would become a knife fight. And given the fact that the shield was gone due to the attack on the generator, they had a clear line of fire

[@bradmorales4002]

Yeah you're right.After destroying the shield generator just destroy the factory from orbit instead of just sending one or two battallions .

[@manivemi4332]

Love these type of vids keep them up

[@pat6091]

This gave me Nam flashbacks. Ia Drang Valley 1968. It's like a 1:1 copy of that battle. They even had a "Broken Arrow"

[@matttheradartechnician4308]

"Good thing those bugs can't aim!"

[@Nolongerhereanymore]

Star Wars Battlefront 2 In instant action They are Phase 2 clones fighting on Geonosis so that means there was a third Battle of Geonosis That took place during Revenge of the Sith I think

[@Inkbleedful]

Or it could be too time consuming to make the correction for them to be in phase one.

[@huntedwerewolf7946]

Thats not canon tho

[@Nolongerhereanymore]

It has to be SWBF2 IS A CANNON GAME IT HAS TO BE CAAAANON

[@zexalbrony4799]

A third Battle!? Well, it looks like Mundi insisting they make sure to completely control the planet and capture Poggle to make sure they wouldn't have to take it a 3rd time didn't pan out too well. LOL.

[@Donald915]

The Savior Of The Locust Horde yea dude anakin vs Vader grevious and maul is cannon I believe you

[@jonaswillems4543]

Hey the battle of Umbara is a nice battle. Is that one next? Have a nice day and keep up the good work!

[@jamiewalsh3349]

The fact that Cody made it truly shows that Clones are better than Jedi in the war
