5:57 Clones have a radio in their helmets to easily tell others about the battle without having to yell to eachother.

Typically we see them pressing the sides of their helmets to activate or the comlink thing on their wrist

[@ilovewaffles321]

@@Thunder_219 True, but in The Clone Wars: Star Wars, by Karen Traviss, they write that when Rex and the others were captured by the droids, Rex could freely talk to his men even though his hands were bound and he was being watched.

[@LordVader1094]

@@ilovewaffles321 Yeah but that doesn't functionally make much sense. In Star Wars it's always where you have to physically press something use comms whether it's a personal communicator, a wrist comm or a helmet.

[@ilovewaffles321]

@@LordVader1094 maybe they already had their coms activated so you didn’t have to spend the time to take your hand off of your weapon? I think most of the time we see them press their helmet or wrist is when they are not in combat.

Yeah, I'd imagine their helmets have a "closed" channel setting were they can converse without yelling and without the enemy knowing what their saying.

8:04 Always loved the scene where Echo and Fives were prone shooting droids, it’s not often that you see clones prone and using such a good choke point with cover. It’s the main thing I remember from this episode

[@MotoroidARFC]

​@user-db5yx7pq3freally? That was one of the useful things in the old original.

[@MotoroidARFC]

@user-db5yx7pq3f in the Cloud City map, if you're a Clone Jet Trooper you can get up to certain high areas and pick off targets with your pistol and it's difficult for return fire to hit you when you're prone. In more ordinary areas and on other maps, those standing around near you get picked off first before the fire starts going for you when you're prone. There's also silly things like seeing how long you can crawl around while prone and tally up kills.

[@MuricaRules]

Probably would have been best to use a DC-15A because it has increased range.

[@CaptainRexCT--rd7eq]

I found it kinda extra sad how when Colt (red Arc Trooper) died he was pleading with his eye's in fear: first time seeing, it I was so hoping Obi-Wan had shown up so much earlier.

the clones behind anakin and obi wan at 7:48 have the same markings as a 501st clone named Mixer from season 2 episode 13, he was killed with his friend Redeye in the episode which really sucks

[@pod167]

Probably just reuse of assets but I've always liked to think they're either a specific squad of the 501st or early kamino security armour haha

[@armyenforcement3023]

9:38 In regard to the clone hit twice, realistically in any sort of armor, if it is hit once that area is weakened already. So if hit again in the same spot it most likely went through, but stopped on the inside of the back.

I like how there is literally 4 ARC troopers in this episode and they barely show the second red one, he also survived the battle with blitz.

A darn shame for Havoc and Colt to both be taken out this battle.

[@thegaminggecko1212]

4:42 I believe it’s canon that they are Unconscious due to the pain of the shot or something. At least that’s how it is for Stormtrooper armor, so I assume it works similar here. It dispersed the energy to keep the trooper alive, but the the pain of getting hit with a literal laser still will knock them out

[@Shark_Studios2]

Yes sir I would love to see a slowed down rewatch of Rookies as I always loved your series of rewatching theses in keep doing this!! As I am sure in every episode there is something we missed 😅 also at 7:48 we can a a clone with blue markings to the left of obi wan.

0:49 Correction, those are Commando Droids, not assassin droids. Though considering how they operate, you can call them assassin droids.

Something you forgot to mention was the 2nd clone that got hit 2 times weapon got jammed and you can see him banging his weapon ( this was right before ventress kisses the clone 😂 )

[@IrIcHiHaRu]

I still kinda think that reflected blaster bolt was actually meant to be something blocked by Ahsoka's lightsaber, but the angle changed in the 3D viewer so it no longer matched up to look like it bounces off the lightsaber.

10:45 that was the Saturday Morning Reruns. When I saw this episode when it Originally Aired on Cartoon Network on Friday Nights. They actually showed Ventress impelling that Clone ARC Trooper before kissing him.

General Grievous 100% thought of that idea to put the aqua droids on falling debris

[@CT--ht1yd]

In timeframe of 13:05 i notice a cadet with Echo, Fives, Rex, and Cody. What was he doing there??? He had no weapon.

[@thefisher196]

He was the one throwing that droid

[@Danspy501st]

About someone the clones missing their shots. We can assume as it is attack on Kamino that the closely finished trained troopers might had sat to help defend Kamino. So they dont have much battle experience then like Fives, Echo, Rex and Cody. Plus the Aqua droids (Yes they are called Aqua droids) might also be made out of the same kind of "armour" that B2 "super" battle droids. The B2 droids where known to take hits before going down. Much like the commando droids can

[@RC--lm8tj]

You are right about the armor. The same happens with stormtroopers often. We only know that 25% of the stormtroopers that fall on the ground due to a blaster bolt stand survive and that clone armor was a bit tougher, so i would think of it as at least 35% for clones. They dont die from every shot, it has to be either multiple shots, Well placed shots or stronger weapons. Thats the reason why clone weapons do out holes through it (when fox killed fives): they are stronger then droid blasters. Also, for the ARCs, they had stronger armor just like many other special units do they could tank some more shots aswell. Also, Droid tactics were often to just rush the clones with so many droids that they couldnt even Recover the wunder wich theoretically is genius but almost never worked due to their morality lf never leaving anyone behind.

[@freddederman7270]

Stormtroopers at first we’re clones but after the revolt on Kamino they switched to civilian recruits

[@attackinglizard3429]

4:33 I think it's a range thing, like when this clone was shot, it was from the top of a wall nearly like, a mile and a half up by a normal hand held blaster rifle, but the other dude was hit from like, 20-30 feet away

[@thetoasterboat18]

the droids in 3:42 are actually dolphin kicking which is the traditional way to kick after diving before surfacing and doing either freestyle or butterfly.

[@brandonsmash0424]

Idk if you missed it, but echo pushed 99 away and that saved him from being shot from the B1 battle droid in 8:24

[@moritzpollich8252]

7:50 the clones in this scene had some unique markings. It’s really hard to see.

[@5o1stFilms]

They have the markings of a clone named Mixer which I think was an animation error

who? Echo and Fives?

[@ManoraManYT]

I always saw this as a payback attempt from heinous because to the despise that is basically like their Kamino so they are getting payback on the clones little head cannon

[@nathanael733]

did u also notice there were like 5 clone trooper mixers when anikan and obiwan were trying so hard so deflect blaster bolts

[@thedeathwatchcouncil1616]

In my opinion I think the saddest story of the clone wars is the clones themselves considering the fact that they're inhibitor chips you know programming and what not for order 66, but it's all highlighted with the fall of the Domino squad. The saddest death in my opinion has got to be Five's. He was my favorite clone besides Rex.

[@JibberJabber22]

Can you do a slomo of the season 7 episodes with the bad batch? That would be really cool! Thanks for always uploading great content!

[@thomashsiai6250]

12:27 I love this scene, because of The battle, but I think you missed the detail, the Kaminoan is hiding behind the clone.

[@sergioescobar1391]

If you thought Obi-Wan slashing an aqua droid underwater was cool, you would love the Battle of Mon Cala. I believe it was the first arc of Season 4.

[@Uraqt_1337]

We have to make clear that the armor isn’t made to withstand almost Point blank attacks. They are able to stop shrapnel, some projectile weapons and defend the clones from becoming blind or deaf whenever an explosion happens. They are also able to disperse the Energie that ends up hitting the clones, so that a normally fatal shot may just be a 3rd degree burn plus internal bleeding. Which is why they still fall to the ground. They pass out. Also the hitting Energie would probably Still break some bones at the point they hit. But the armor only helps against blasters at long distances like in the first battle of geonosis. Hope that could help. Love your content btw. Keep it up

[@nathanael733]

when arc trooper havoc got shot in the chest i never noticed blitz was next to him and didnt even look

[@Shark_Studios2]

Your right I never saw that before!!!!!

[@ethanchenoweth]

At 11:00 another fun thing is Cartoon Network put it in the dvd for this season

[@Average_Tau-5fan-yv6un]

14:27 Now thats just strait up bad ass

[@Khornecussion]

6:00 I mean I'm willing to bet in that scene he was yelling on their helmet-to-helmet radio " ABOVE ABOVE! " - but to insert panicked screaming, the sounds of squad members dying and people requesting medical aid or reinforcements while being all " We are at 70% combat effectiveness! " - and so on would be a little too heavy for the kids / teens show that Clone Wars was - and that they also prolly didn't wanna have all that going on over the musical score that a lot of people like Star Wars for since Clone Wars emulated that music very well.

Oooh. This is a good one to analyze. Can't wait to see it. RIP Hevvy, 99, and the rest of Domino squad.

This episode was one of the best. Ventress is definitely in her prime right there. Clone 99, Arc troopers, cadets, Fives and Echo scenes. And that scene where Ventress and Grievous talk. Oh my. This is definitely prime Ventress.

[@sapphirewingthefurrycritic985]

5:06 I could be wrong because all the little clones have like 5 hairstyles between them, but I think those are the clone babies that help Rex, Cody, Fives and Echo later.

1:50: Michael Jae when he cant have bruh on the Thumbnail: 😰😰

[@aidanbove231]

what you said about armor and the clones being knocked unconscious is spot on. the helmet shots are often not survived though bc that plastoid is thin, accommodating for the HUD, breathing/cooling, and comms systems. there's also the matter of scatter guns and illegal caliber of blaster ammo that can penetrate standard plastoid clone/stormtrooper armor. scatter guns are just like irl guns w/ bullets so they don't disperse and ik that Han Solo's DL-44 absolutely slams stormies bc yeah he's a smuggler, he's got an illegal caliber blaster. in the Republic Commando game you face a ton of trandoshans w/ scatter guns and you can body a few only bc how upgraded CC armor is. wish we got to see more of them in action in TCW as a functioning squad instead of Gregor going solo. we could see some of that badassery in action so maybe the Gregor scene would be a good .25x speed episode.

[@ARC_Lt._Copy]

About your question at 12:50, Palpatine, probably, would have made Dooku have it somewhere he knew RI would discover it to sent a Jedi, presumably Skywalker, to retrieve it.

[@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly]

I remember seeing the Ventress kiss in the original airing, maybe they censored it in the DVD?

[@sillezzockt5031]

the thing with the clone armor and the stormtrooper armor at 4:50 is that it does prevent the trooper from dying but most of the time it knocks them out/makes them unable to fight, cause of the blast of the blaster that hit them, thats why there are so many wounded troopers in the episodes, of the Malaverlance for exaple, they are not dead, they are just hurst so mutch, they can't imediatly keep fightig, plus why hsoudl the repuplic invest in clone armor if it doesn't prevent the clone from dying? clones are already way more expensive than droids, so it makes more sense to heal them after an injurey, then to tos them away that was the expleanation i always found the most convincing, so yes it works mutch like kevlar in rael life just the froce behinde the shot isn't just gonna bruse your rip, more like tear your lung a bit or give you serius chest/head trauma

[@crosswarrior38]

5:36 MASSIVE PROBLEM! Stormtroopers are not clones they are civilians that apply for basic training and then become Stormtroopers. Also stormtroopers are good shots it's just in the main movies the main characters are skilled fighters and are hard to hit. Disney really made stormtroopers look trash in some of the recent shows but in andor they fixed that.

[@TheJohnStone]

There have been jokes about stormtrooper aim for a while, but they were intimidating in the og trilogy. Now they’re just clowns in white plastic.

[@crosswarrior38]

@@TheJohnStone that's what I'm saying! Also in a new hope when Luke and the rest of them are on the death star the stormtroopers don't hit a single shot but if you watch the movie all the way you know that the stormtroopers were told to let them escape so the empire can track them to the rebel base. The whole stormtroopers are bad shots thing probably started with this scene but if people would just pay attention they would see that it actually proves they are good shots because they have to miss but make it look like their trying.

I know this comment is irrelevant to the video but I wanted to share something.

As we know there are several Rebels 'easter eggs', and we get to hear Chopper's warbling. But there's one spot where it sounds like Hera is yelling in the background. During the "Scrambling the Rebel Fleet" bit, we see a Rebel pilot jumping into his X-wing and at that moment it sounds like Hera's voice yelling "(Unintelligible), let's go!"

I think the way the blasters work is 1 shot to the head or torso would stun someone, unless they aren’t in trooper armor, 2 shots would K.O. any decent clone and 3 to the head or torso area would probably kill most people, the droids I think are manufactured to sustain similar attacks but they seem to be programmed to barely flinch under blaster fire
