Don't apologize for that baby! I giggled every time! My baby will be 16 next month and I miss those happy baby sounds and one day so will you.

[@nekophht]

Honestly, the clone numbers can be decently explained by confusion over what "unit" refers to. After all, when the Kaminoans talked about the clone production, they simply say units. Are they using units where 1 unit = 1 clone? If so, the 3 million clone military as used by some fits. But 1 unit could be a larger group. What if Kaminoans considered a battalion to be 1 unit? That would mean 200,000 battalions at the time of Geonosis, with 1 million more on the way (115.2M clones, with 576M more on the way). And the numbers just get more fun if 1 unit is instead a regiment, legion, or corps. And that doesn't account for how ship crew or pilots fit. Of course, having that sort of unit inflation would play havoc with the established unit structure for the GAR, plus it seems officially that it's still along the lines of 1 unit = 1 clone, so....

[@singlenator9138]

#AskEck (or anyone) Why wasn’t the clearly outnumbered clone army ever really supplemented by the standing armies of Republic worlds, outside of the occasional defense force? the only time I recall seeing this is the Gungan aid of Mon Cala

[@yagdtigercommander]

I do think the clone army was big enough to at least hold the ground for the republic early on during the war. The GAR may not have been in a position to take the fight to confederacy but they showed they weren't push overs either and even if the CIS won battles some of them were very costly to extent sure battle droids are cheaper and more efficient to produce. But the costs will add up I mean in battle if few thousand clones die sure that maybe more expensive and harder to replace but you lose tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of battle droids the costs could be greater or similar. Yes on paper by all means the confederacy should have won but even in history there have strange situations where horribly outnumbered defenders face against the onslaught and have won just be sheer grit and determination to not given into the enemy with no idea if reinforcements are coming or when if they are at all usually reinforcements do come but just in the nick of time when the defenders are exhausted and nearly depleted in ammo. We have seen such things with smaller scale engagements with clones and confederacy forces. I am not sure if the Confederacy would have won without palptine being the puppet master be hind the starting the war anyways. But if they did I think the GAR would have put up one hell of fight with its clone army and would have made it a bloody and costly victory for the CIS just as the CIS did for the GAR. This was going to be a bloody and gritty war regardless of which side one it I don't think it would have been such a one sided rofl stomp by the CIS at least not in the begging . But I think its a very interesting contrast to history. CIS seemed like Nazi Germany winning quick blizkreig like battles and make vast territory gains deep in to republic held territory. Where the GAR was kind of like Soviet Russia or Great Britain getting beaten at every corner and major battle situation almost seemed hopeless. But then Germany Got too Cocky to prepare itself for the changes in climate or clue that the enemy was gradually learning from its -past tactical and strategic errors or any past blunders. Slowly starting to turn the tide of battle and stop the enemies never ending conquest and territorial expansion, To Then being put on the back foot and seeing an enemy that was once thought as inferior to them was coming back strong and dominating on the battlefield.

#askeck what are your thoughts on the clone wars ending kind of quickly in canon somewhat similar to how the galactic war ended? Does it make sense since in legends, I remember you or someone else saying there wasn't much mention of raxus, if anything only the separatist holdouts seemed to be a thing.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

Well, I think the Clone Wars ended only by technicality. To the Separatists, the Rebellion to Restore the Republic was just a continuation of the Clone Wars with a new coat of paint.

[@josephkim9944]

@@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim well I understand that and I think geetslys, another star wars youtuber recently went over that but that wasn't really my point. More so it was how the war ended quickly at least officially with there being somewhat unofficial fighting with separatists holdouts, kind of like how I imagined there'd be probably some forces of imperial remnants left after the battle of Jakku. Mainly because I remember eckharts ladder mentioning how unbelievable it seemed for the galactic Civil War ended so quickly in canon compared to legends.

Obi Wan: Flying is for droids. Droid Starship: *laughs in droid*

[@CS-nq9sq]

I think the seperatist navy was far superior than the republic's navy in regards to diversity of ships. Although this is hindered by droid operators in ships without human officers such as in munificent frigates and inferior fighters

[@rascoehunter3608]

Also the separatist had way more ships than the republic.

[@SamuelJamesNary]

Diversity of equipment isn't necessarily a good thing. Particularly in large scale conflicts. As often these things would then have different logistical needs and couldn't be easily be supplied, particularly if put under stress. If all the weapons systems are easily interchangeable, that diversity won't be a problem... BUT if not, and the Separatists then send supplies that would work for one ship to a different one... there the diversity in their ships creates a problem rather than an advantage.

[@jacobparslow8723]

It's more that the sepies used their ships correctly. The Republic didn't. For example the Venetor: it was a fantastic carrier but was in no way fit to be a ship of the line slugging it out with other capital ships like the Victory and Imp 1 and 2 class were. But the Republic decided to force the ship into that role and they paid for it over and over again. On the other hand you don't see the separatists using.. say a lukerhulk for the ship of the line role for the reason the Venetor sucked at it. They used frigates and other ships designed to dish out and take a beating.

[@TouringWolf42]

The Separatists also had an absolutely ridiculous numbers advantage. It's a miracle that the Republic was in a one sided conflict due to the CIS being controlled by Palpatine. It would have looked like Denmark in WW2 if the clone wars wasn't controlled by the sith (Maybe just "Droid Wars" because the clones wouldn't have been created anyway.

[@architectrealities7693]

You know one 'solution' to fleet actions without a organic operator could be the use of clone brains on each ship preprogrammed with the best tactics possible with adaptive thinking to face the enemy. If not clone brains use advanced isolated droid brains with say a famous separatist admiral as reference.
