Fun fact, there are IRL tribes in history that have used club-like spear launchers. The Ancient Celts being one of these, who also had a stone-launching type, both looking very similar to those plastic tennis ball sticks that you can get to play with your dogs.

[@mrandrews3616]

I believe there have also been examples of them found in Neanderthal sites, though I can't remember exactly where.

[@skourpi142]

@@mrandrews3616 It is called an atlatal (I don’t know if that is how you properly spell it). It was a precursor to the bow because it did launch arrows. The special thing about it was that it used the motion of your arm and the natural lever action your arm makes when you swing down to launch the arrow. It took some practice to get down the aiming of said arrow that was launched from it, but it was pretty much the first use of range weapons ever used. Aside from throwing rocks and other things like that.

The club thing is called an Atlatl. It was actually a thing used to strengthen your spear throwing.

Yeah it was used in parts of New Mexico and Arizona

[@Sky_Guy]

Such an underrated technological leap, it really should be considered alongside the bow and the firearm.

[@jessequillen4695]

The Atlatl or any other spear thrower, were created by tribal societies all over the planet, the oldest known being from Africa, being adopted by many celt and other bronze age or beforehand tribes from Europe, the Asiatic tribes in the west were the first for Asia, and the Eastern Asians only really using the spear thrower in minor skirmishes, due to the abundance of bow technology, and the Americans, North, Central, South, and Islander were using the spear-thrower, or for the Meso-Americans, the Atlatl, until the arrival of Europeans, at which both the spear thrower and few bow technologies were replaced as quickly as possible with rifles and metal blades, but in the jungles of South America, you can find tribes still using spear-throwers.

The most ridicoulus thing is that in Clone Wars movie two aliens have Palpatine and Kenobi bodies. One is hard to spot but in the scene when Padmé enters Zirro hideout you can spot a weird character: ugly molded ithorian head on top of Palpatine's body?

20 going in and 4 coming back is a reference to the attack on the Death Star in a New Hope. 20 X and Y wings went, and only 4 returned (counting the Falcon). It was also referenced in Attack of the Clones when old man Lars talks about 20 farmers going after the sand people to rescue Anakin's mom and again only 4 returned.

[@indxghost3157]

It’s interesting that at 10:46 you mention that weapon they are using, when you pointed it out it actually reminded me of a weapon used during the ice age (funny that it’s on a planet covered in snow) and it would be used to cast a wooden dart well over 100 meters or about 300 feet and with said throwing device it could help gain more leverage and velocity, I’m not exactly sure who used these weapons but I know that the Aztecs did, it also often caused arthritis due to the force needed to use it, I have a buddy who visited California recently and toured some caves that were recently discovered to have housed people (I think) about 50,000 years ago, could be wrong on the year though. Ps: if interested in said device you can search it up on the wiki it’s called a atlati Edit: I stand corrected the correct pronunciation is Atlatl not Atlati

[@DuplexWeevil337]

They are pretty universal, being found on every continent except Antarctica. They got replaced by amentum in Europe (a leather strap preforming a similar role, although not as effective, 80m instead of 100m,it's also easier on joints and is easier to make), which remained in use for as long as the javelin itself.

[@Audreys_Cloud]

For the gunship pilots; how they get into the cockpit is though the doors the clones wait at when being deployed, you can see it in action in a Jar Jar episode when ObiWan, Anakin, and Count Dooku are being held for ransom by the pirates.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

The scene you're talking about is in the episode "The Gungun General," and that cockpit seat was in a Nu-Class attack shuttle, not an LAAT gunship. Though, it definitely stands to reason that the LAAT uses the exact same mechanism.

[@thecatinthefedora1201]

10:45 that's an atlatl (probably misspelled), one of the first ranged weapons invented by humans. It acts as a lever, letting you launch a spear with greater distance, power, and accuracy.

Wow I have never noticed that detail with the snow before that is so cool and such a subtle detail. Bravo animators. In regards to the casualties he says they suffered its likely that some of the troopers who got knocked off their bikes could have survived although injured as snow is very soft and with their armour would have saved them from the worst of it and the Tals kept up pursuit and wouldn't have gone back for anyone that had been knocked off since they seemed to be specifically after the Chairman. So yeah some of those Troopers are likely still alive just waiting for evac.

[@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935]

Kinda wish this episode got its own arc, like the chairman did something to piss the natives so much that it united them to fight the Blue people and the clone troopers. The arc would be the jedi trying to prevent this war by talking to other tribes with little luck while the Republic base starts to spot natives scouting the base, maybe a few hit an run attacks during a blizzard. In the final stage if the arc the natives launch a full assault on the base while other groups tunnel into the base. The arc would end with the jedi an senator capturing the Chieftain to negotiate peace and with the Chief witnessing so many of his people gunned down by clones agrees to peace.

[@SchneeflockeMonsoon]

10:53 That is an atlatl. Essentially its a holder for spears and it allows you to throw a spear farther and hit harder than just throwing it with your arm because it extends the length of your arm. So, basically this guy is able to staple people to the ground from a longer distance.

In the Chairman's defense, the Talz did massacre an entire garrison of at least 20-30 people without any provocation, do note that many of the corpses were clustered together and unarmed. Meaning those clones surrendered, were disarmed, corralled into a single room, then killed. Without a map we can't say for sure how far away this facility is, but it must be remote enough that it could be built and garrisoned for some time without ever knowing the Talz were on the planet, so it was benign at worst, yet this irritated the Talz enough to warrant the massacre of its entire garrison without any attempt to communicate. In terms of rules of engagement, a pretty strong case could be made that the Talz were the initiators of the war and became legitimate targets. Second, the chairman would have to explain that not only was this garrison massacred on his watch, but also how he had lost control of the entire planet due to the incident. It's sort of like a moleman comes round and kills your dog and now you have to let him live in your garage because he was there first.
