[@CutieMcBotty]

​@@firebasetvThat was a detail

[@Zolet_lionheart]

The tactical droids are actually really good fighters when they aren't too full of themselves

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

The officer who shot the two B2s wasn't in clone armor because he was a medical officer, which are basically more highly trained and specialized clone medics that don't see frontline combat. They're still trained for combat, but they don't see it unless they're in dire situations.

[@nicholasjones7542]

He knows that but his comment was saying why is bro a medic when he got them skills 😂

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

@nicholasjones7542 Because that's what he was trained to be? He would've started his medical flash-training from the very beginning, so by the time things like accuracy come into play it would've been to late to transfer him to a different class since medical officers are so massively important.

[@nicholasjones7542]

@ the joke is bro killed more of those b2s than the actual mfs that were trained to do it

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

@@nicholasjones7542 Yeah, he got really lucky... for a moment anyway.

[@viperson9818]

I like the detail of non clone soldiers showing genuine fear. Like the medic combat is lacking so they show him in complete fear. Which reminds you not every clone was raised for combat.

[@Katarn84]

I think the blurry shadows on the clones heads is just a cheap move to avoid having to model dead clone troopers when the droids remove their helmets for backgrounds almost noone would look frame by frame. They just displaced the standard model head to where the helmet ends, blurr the decapitated body to pretend the head was under the helmet and call it a day.

[@eliaspeter7689]

Interesting, though later in the episode we see the dead clone troopers frozen and without helmets floating in the wreck. So it's not like there wasn't a model to be used.

[@generalyoda8325]

Prehaps they wanted the head mutilated but can not show it.

[@ZafiroDoesGames]

16:10 I think the trooper’s missing head is actually an animation error. It’s likely that the Clone’s heads are made invisible while they’re wearing their helmets to avoid things like clipping, and someone probably just forgot to set the visibility toggle for this scene.

[@overknightacention39]

Notice how Tup looks at Anakin Twice and doesn't react.

[@AlexM-fv8lp]

Because palpatine was banking on Anakin turning to the dark side and becoming his apprentice before needing to activate order 66

[@ShadowReaper-pu2hx]

[@Claynobi]

Fun fact about clone armor, it’s designed to disperse the heat from blasters, this has the unfortunate side effect of knocking them out. 9/10 times they survive.

[@Epsilon-5]

“Though vulnerable to lightsabers and direct blaster fire, clone armor was impervious to impacts, pressure, heat, and acrid vapors” straight from wookiepedia so no they aren’t 9/10 getting knocked out, their armour is to protect against the elements and shrapnel.

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

1:42 It could very well be the case that Ringo Vinda is a small dwarf planet. Planetary objects can greatly range in size, and there are quite a few that are less than 10% of Earth's diameter, that are dense enough to be gravitationally rounded.

[@kyleswayze668]

You can tell the animators really love their jobs in the sequence

[@SaeParsan]

I recommend reading up on both real life and Star Wars armor as I think that would clear up a lot of your confusion. To summarize my understanding: Phase I was capable of tanking lighter blaster bolts but was uncomfortable and heavy. Phase II was lighter more modular and designed much like modern combat armor to protect against glancing blows from blasters but mostly to protect against shrapnel and concussive force. As for the shields it's important to remember that GAR tactics generally rely on speed and maneuverability so heavy unwieldy shields wouldn't be a great idea. They're used here because their forces are forced to advance through long confined hallways with no cover.

[@vicwolfrin]

And after the battle of ringo vinda, there was the battles of Paul, George and John in the Beatles system of planets

[@RandomStarWarsFan]

this made me laugh out loud

[@zydecomoon2742]

Paul Vinda, George Vinda, and John Vinda

[@knightfall91]

Shields were mainly used for close quarter combat mainly. I can't remember what episode but they do talk about the fact the CIS preferred over welming numbers, which is why we didn't see many deadlier units like b2 super rocket troopers as b1 and b2 were super cheap, easy and quicker to make so that was the main unit of cis then it was commando druids then droidecars

[@rowanjordan8588]

Heh. Commando druids I know it's a typo, but that would be a really interesting d&d character

[@knightfall91]

[@yolomolo2736]

“Good soldiers follow orders good soldiers follow orders good soldiers follow orders…”

[@Unscriptedmadnes]

11:00 I think that palpatine programmed order 66 so it doesn’t apply to anakin, this would prevent a clone from accidentally killing Vader

[@infinitystar3028]

There's a scene you left out that I thought was cool. When tup attack the red female jedi and was forced into the wall. Commander doom stood up and posed in Dr doom's stance where he stands up and puts his arms behind his back. That part looked badass, and how they added that to the episode made it just as amazing

[@andrewhaberkorn1687]

Yeah there’s theory’s that palpatine did something to make the clones not identify anakin as a Jedi when there in there order 66 state

[@Tyrellsmith486]

I never noticed that in the arc but it makes so much sense, palpatine was planning on Anakin being his apprentice from the start

[@Eli-akad]

As a kid when I watched the movies I wondered this. As I got to understand the movies a lil more I assumed maybe the order directly excluded Anakin in its design But then when the chips were introduced I honestly just suspected that this would’ve been the case

[@hex836]

​@@Tyrellsmith486 it is mentioned in lore that anakin was made by Darth plagueis and Darth sidious. Because plagueis could use the force to create life, shmee Skywalker gave birth to a child conceived by the force. This is why anakin has no father, and a midichlorian count of 20k, he's MADE of force

[@Evelyn-qt3hi]

One of the things I've seen you mention many times is droids having a "trigger finger reflex" when they die. The E-5 blaster that droids use is an automatic blaster, if the droids are pressing the trigger, and then are killed, there is no signal for them to let go of the trigger, thus their finger remains on the trigger until they fall in a way that loosens the grip. There isn't a reflex to feather the trigger or anything, their hands would just remain as they are, potentially squeezing the trigger, for several moments while collapsing. Also, for living organisms, this is a legitimate reflex. That's why in a lot of media you can see a standoff where someone has a hostage and a gun to their head. It isn't always a good idea to take out the bad guy, because if you shoot him or anything, the body will reflexively tense up, and it's very possible they will pull the trigger in the process. And of course for automatic weapons, the reflex can last a few moments causing multiple rounds to be fired before the grip loosens.

[@hoddtoward5681]

my understanding (might be wrong) is that the material clone armour is made of (plastoid) converts some of the energy of the blaster bolt to kinetic energy, often knocking out clones or causing injury, a moment that would back thisnup is captain keeli getting up a while after being shot. I very well may be wrong however so if anyone knows more about plastoid then pls leave a reply, Id love to learn more

[@DCPTF2]

aww you cut out the best line in the entire episode "you were experiencing drag in the vacuum of space?" just how the Super Tactical droid for a second forgets how stupid his B1 subordinance are and just doesn't question it

[@trooper2737]

10:51 I’m pretty sure it’s because the order to kill anakin is not the same as order 66

[@maderaartstudios4738]

4:23 there is slot in the shield for looking through, they could probably stick the gun through there.

[@Autobotmatt428]

Its nice to remember the good times. Before you know. The Mouse

[@racer2k704]

Lmao check the release date of this episode and then tell me about Disney ruining Star Wars

[@ZackStormYT]

“Why is the minigun behind the shields?” …so he won’t get shot? He can’t fire his weapon with 1 hand he can’t hold a shield the guys with shields are in front and he’s firing through the gaps as trained.

[@reeceemms1643]

I think it’s possible that since Palpatine had intensions of making Anakin his apprentice he is not registered as a Jedi or they have been programmed not to attack Anakin. Remember in ROTS the Clones did not attack Anakin there.

[@ForceCraftedProps]

until after when the CG attacked Vader. Although that was an accident. Fox ended up losing his free trial of living.

[@Serpent_2012-he5zg]

Finally one of your videos that wasn't made 2 or 3 years ago I only started watching your vids this year.

[@Serpent_2012-he5zg]

Yay

[@sirstify6765]

The only reason I'd assume that clone armour isn't made out of the shield material is that it's too heavy and would be like medieval armour. Clones were made to be expendable so the kaminoans wouldn't even care to incorporate these types of materials in their armour.

[@Zombotron5678]

The shields might be great defensively in a tight area, but the shield are probably very heavy and cause clones to either be slower or get fatigued quicker. I don’t seem them being useful in a stealth mission, and in a larger battle field there’s tanks and artillery that would make the shields useless.

[@Zac-d6p]

The clone was headless, they blurred his floating head because it’s a kids show.

[@kingpythor1870]

Can you please do the citadel battle

[@seargeant4452]

5:53 If I'm not mistaken, they explained this by saying that Jango Fett's DNA had to be stretched so that more clones could be made. And a "side effect" of stretching was that the quality decreased, including psychological problems such as nervous breakdowns or other illnesses. Tup was one of these "stretched" clones and, according to one theory, had PTSD from Umbara because they were attacked there by their Jedi.

[@lachbullen8014]

The Clone Trooper carrying the minigun was probably been held back in reserves in case they came up against some heavy resistance it's a sound and tactical formation..

[@Ronttiplays]

Yay new video!❤

[@Cardo...]

Tup's chip possibly got activated when he bonked his head while saving Fives in a corridor.

[@notareptilianiswear.6600]

I think the blurriness coming from the clone armor and covering up that one clone’s face was the breathable atmosphere contained in clone armor being vented out into the void. Without the helmet to contain it the oxygen from their back is just being shot out into the room.

[@aaaa-n3c]

16:36 I think the super jet robot took his helmet off, but the animators weren't sure what they wanted to do so they erased his head

[@wolfjacket551]

8:48 he’s fine,the laser didn’t go trough the helmet so it was probably like he hit his head and knocked out

[@sedricgranger]

If you go back to Umbara, I believe Tup’s chip started to malfunction during the battle. I think he triggered the chip when he stunned Krell. He was the first clone that we have seen in the show connect a laser to a Jedi as I remember . There also is a scene that zooms directly into Tup when Rex makes the decision to arrest Krell. It was terrific foreshadowing. It doesn’t fully explain why his chip malfunction…but I am sure this was foreshadowing. Check out the final episode of Umbara again for that detail! It blew my mind!

[@darkblades1201]

So the clone without a head, what I believe had happened is that the primary model of clones wearing helmets, they don't actually have heads underneath because they don't want something to poke out. So what had likely happened is that they decided to put a clone trooper getting his helmet yanked off in the background but used only a "Main Helmet On" model and just forgot to put a head underneath. The blurring is likely to make it just seem like there's a head so that way the casual viewer, without pausing and zooming in, won't notice.

[@TehAntares]

I have my head canon explanation for why the clones keep shooting from behind the formation. Decades before and during the clone wars, the droid army was the largest, most well-known, and the most experienced military force in the galaxy. Maybe because of that, the other armies (including the clones) were trying to imitate their tactics or fully adopting them. That's why we see clones performing these formations in many battles, especially on the Geonosis.

[@Tomy_Yon]

Yeah, it's Michael Jay! 🤗

[@kristianbritton5435]

Most advanced combat armour in the galaxy.... Yet you still die from 1 shot 😂

[@100DRAGINMATIONS]

I was thinking about the same thing. Why couldn't the clones use the shields or miniguns during the siege of mandolore. The fact remains that the republic had once faced them off screen and that was in Season 2 episode 12 mandalore plot. They would've known how skilled they were. I would assume it was because of plot armor, the homes. But sometimes for me it's more like fanservice where you got fans who loved clones and other fans who really deeply love mandalorians. And making sure things are fair for both sides. Idk that's what I've noticed when watching the clones struggling.

[@alin4232]

My guess would be because they knew fighting Mandos on their homeworld would include intense urban fighting and aerial infantry. Z-6s (miniguns) and shields are heavy and would make it difficult for troopers to use on top of jetpacks. Granted, not all troopers deployed on Mandalore used Jetpacks but the point stands, maneuverability was most likely preferred over fire superiority, which is also pretty difficult to beat a Mando at.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

​@alin4232 Yeah, a large number of the clones from the 332nd Division deployed with jetpacks, so most of them wouldn't be able to carry a heavy riot shield or a Z-6.

[@100DRAGINMATIONS]

@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 And the ones without jetpacks fighting on the bridge with the AT-TE were the same ones that took off their jetpacks just so they can move lighter on foot.

[@Clyp3Z]

Kuat also has an Orbitalring, but its also the main shipyard of the Republic so it had to be a big station

[@kcrash7150]

The blurred clone head has a few potentials... The clone originally was meant to keep his head and simply suffocated then later decided to decapitate him in the next shot, however their model may of glitched out and left a shadow. Or they chose to mutilate or decapitate his head and deemed it too violent and censored it in post.

[@Default-j4y]

Yo Michael you should definitely watch the Prison Break/battle from Andor as seen that it was a refreshment to the SW fandom and community and being an overall banger of a battle.
