[@GeneralBlackNorway]

The true genius of Palpatine was rather that he set things up such that whatever way things turn out he still wins. If the clones win, he is the leader of the Republic. If the droids win, he is the secret leader of the Separatist.

[@laytonjr6601]

Palpatine always has contingency plans after contingency plans. Let's take the Naboo crisis for exemple: his original plan likely didn't take into account Valorum being friend with Qui-Gon and sending him on a secret mission, so his plans probably were to gather sympathy for his home planet while it's under attack. Then when the Jedi freed Padmé and crashed on Tatooine, he sent Maul to stop them. Then he used Valorum asking Qui-Gon as a personal favour (and not in a Senate sanctioned mission) to prove to Padmé that he had lost all his political power and needed a vote of No Confidence. Padmé wasn't even supposed to arrive on Coruscant in his original plan. Then when he met Anakin, he made sure that Maul would kill Qui-Gon instead of going after the Queen, securing his own apprentice because he knew the Jedi Council would never accept him and Obi-Wan was too grieving to care for Anakin the way he needed (obviously that was another contingency, Maul was supposed to kill Obi-Wan too to make sure no one in the Jedi Temple would want to train Anakin) Palpatine is a straight up genius, and the Sith Order had been slowly corrupting the Republic for 1000 years. The Jedi had no chance

[@maxpower9546]

Thing is, a lot of parts of his plan DO fail but the thing is robust enough and Palpatine competent enough at improv that he pushes through anyway.

But a single Jedi couldn't have ordered the creation of such a massive army, where would the funding have come from? Surely, the Jedi Council would have noticed such a massive transfer of credits. The only way this could have been hidden is if the funds had been siphoned away over a long period of time, decades at least, and it must have been done by the highest ranking member of the Jedi Council. But who on the Council has served for so long, had the authority to hide such large illicit transfers, make political connections across the galaxy, and is powerful enough in the Force to cloud the judgments of those who might notice? ... Master Yoda! He has been a Jedi for centuries, he had the time to build up the funds, manipulate galactic events over generations, corrupt the Republic from within and making it weak and ineffective, changing the policies of the Jedi Order so that it no longer helped those in need, paving the way for an unstable galaxy beset by conflict and ripe for the taking by a new rising power.

Sifo-Dyas was thrown off the Jedi Council for floating the idea of creating an army for the Republic after he had visions of the Clone Wars.

After going behind the Council’s backs and ordering the clones, Sifo-Dyas was killed by the Pyke Syndicate on his way to Felucia under Dooku’s orders who then erased Kamino’s coordinates from the archives thus burying the secret entirely.

[@GeneralTaco155555a]

He has the money, he knew Sifo-Dyas, he had access to the archive, and he's right there with the guy who all the clones are of and who also belongs to a culture famous for Jedi killers.

The Jedi are then slaughtered by the droids because they don’t have the numbers to withstand them. “All my plans are in disarray but at least a lot of the important Jedi are dead” says Palpatine. “I guess… I’ll need to improvise for the rest. Ho hum.”

[@datwitchyswordfan]

To be fair, how would Obi Wan have known there would be an entire whole army of droids besides the ones they were currently fighting? Also, they could still use the rest of the clones to fight the droids, so they could survive Geonosis and then be able to catch Palps off guard.

[@kylepessell1350]

What is overlooked in this scenario is that Palpatine had already practically won even before the Clone Wars started. Realistically there would be little they could do to stop him lawfully as he controlled the courts and the allegation that he was a Sith was both difficult to prove and not actually illegal anymore. They would have to do what Windu ultimately decided had to be done and just try to kill him. However, he was still a popular elected head official and even if they succeeded this would have destabilized the Republic on the eve of a major crisis. Palpatine would pull the trigger on order 66 early, the Jedi would lose their grand army, the Republic would fall to the Separatists, and Dooku would have taken over. This might be slightly better than what actually happened but the Jedi Order as they had existed for thousands of years was already doomed at this point.

The creation of the Clone Army was authorized by a Jedi who was killed around the same time the order was places. The template for the clones was a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Jedi Killer. The Bounty Hunter works for Count Dooku, who was a Jedi turned Sith Lord and claims the Senate is directly controlled by a Sith Lord. The highest ranking politician in the Galactic Senate is Chancellor Palpatine, who rose to power around the same time the order for the Clone Army was placed. I don’t expect the Jedi Council to instantly realize that Palpatine’s behind it all, but they’d at least look into a few of these mysteries more than not at all.

They question it at the end of the movie, there was nothing they could do. Even if the Jedi somehow won on Geonosis, they would be significantly weakened and been ripe for the picking.

Sifo-Dyas was kicked off the Council for saying that he had a vision in the Force that the Jedi would need an army. They found his body on Felucia after he'd been sent on a diplomatic mission by Chancellor Valorum. This all happened pre-Palpatine's rise, so there's no real reason for them to connect any of it to him. The most obvious thing to conclude is that Sifo-Dyas' vision was correct, and that he acted on it. As for Jango working for Dooku ten years after he'd been used as the clone template, there were very, very few bounty hunters around that had the skills of Jango at that time. Dooku really wanted this job done, and so he paid for the best.

Check my description! I linked to Joel Haver's video which is where I learned. (Though I've added a few steps for my own work flow since then) The short of it is you take footage and draw over a few frames. A program called EbSynth interpolates those drawn frames to match the movement of the footage!

[@WaimeaMonster24]

I just realized the clones are Mandalorian Palpatine knew what he was doing

[@thesong7877]

Sometimes you have to try not think about how many movies wouldn't work if any of the characters were smart

[@alexandruoprea699]

I wanted to see that ad for the rings, or whatever they were selling. It was a damn fine one. Good job, Matt.

[@Enzo012]

Apparently Qui-Gon Jin would have figured this out as his judgement wouldn't have been so easily 'clouded by the darkside' as he wasn't attuned to the Force in quite such a rigid way.

[@hehehorf782]

dang i can definitely see a huge increase in quality on these animations! you're killing it dude, love your stuff

[@theblindbandit6533]

Dooku didn’t deserve that he could’ve turned back there was still good in him I know it

[@CheesyAceGameplay]

Every time I was revenge of the sith this this the outcome I hope Happens

[@DenderFriend]

Honestly surprised you haven't made a full video just about how intricate Palpatine's plan was

[@edgarlarios4718]

That ring ad was so entertaining, by the time it was over I had forgotten I clicked on a video about something else entirely.

[@VexNovaYT]

Obi-Wan watched Revenge of the Sith before the Clone Wars.

[@shiddter]

I mean as far as I understand part of what made Palpatine so good at what he did is because he was using the longest mind trick ever and the Jedi Temple was built on a pretty big dark-side force nexus. Hard to see the dark while in the dark.

[@VahidSlayerOfAll]

got a one ring lord of the rings ring and chain for 2$ off ebay 8 years ago. one of the best purchases ive ever made

[@JackPitmanNica]

Loved the ad style in this cast good job making the ad entertaining

[@LordShrub]

If characters actually had meaningful conversations instead of acting impulsive.

[@JamesTDG]

Imagine if they made a spin-off based on this

[@poketdoom]

They never expexted jango fett who offered their dna to make this army for them despite being their enemy would have any ulterior motives

[@Silver_Dollar]

Real crazy what could have happened if people actually talked lol, like i was a firm believer that Obi could have tried to talk more sense into Anakin before saying i will do what i must, because obviously Anakin’s ego tripped off that

[@Reverse_Hood]

Less using his brain and more like having 4th wall knowledge

[@thedread2597]

I love how bored they look while blocking laser shots in the middle of the battlefield

[@theyearwas1473]

I legit always wondered what would the outcome have been had obi-Wan had never showed up there to meet the clones.

[@lukacvitkovic8550]

hey wait a minute... Palpatine's behind it all

[@zcorpalpha2462]

😂

[@Zinovad]

A chess match can seem like children's play when you're not the one playing it.

[@kofola9145]

The entire Jedi council: "That is a pretty cool conspiracy theory you have got there."

[@AsdfAsdf-mi6ks]

The way you just explained the political plot of the prequels. I grew up with those damn things and STILL didnt know how each scene connected.

[@patrickswayze3086]

The whole video I’m like uhhh this has been memes to death but the last line still got me good, could you imagine if we hadn’t 😂

[@blackswan7568]

"Palps, I don't know man. You've been seeming sus lately. It's almost like there's an impostor among us." -Obi-Wan, maybe

[@PieisDaBest1]

Legolas is like Lembas bread. One line of dialogue is enough to fill a grown hobbit's friendship for a lifetime.

[@cubescihist6737]

That remake of the scene where Windu kills Jango was so smooth!

[@TheFlyingRaptor]

Absolute gold!

[@KoopaKoot]

Dooku: I knew I shouldn't have told Obi-Wan.....

[@Templar327]

I feel like after discovering Jango was working for Dooku, Obi wan would've been able to connect a few dots. Like why was there an army of clones modeled after the mandalorian working for a former jedi master, now turned sith, that was ordered by a jedi master that had been missing for while. If anything they should have quickly put together that Dooku was at least connected to the creation of the clone army. But that wouldn've made the story a whole lot shorter and that no fun.

[@MisterMarin]

Obi - Wan: Anakin? Anakin: Yes, Master? Obi - Wan: I've been thinking... Anakin: That's great, Master, but I don't think this is the best moment for a conversation. Obi - Wan: Of course you don't think. You never think. You just act on instinct. Anakin: Command & Conquer reference, Master? Obi - Wan [confused]: Command and what? Anakin [deflects a blaster bolt]: Never mind. What do mean by I never think? If I didn't think, I wouldn't exist. Obi -Wan [deflects two blaster bolts]: Descartes? I didn't know you have an interest in philosophy. Anakin: Of course you didn't, Master. You still have much to learn about me. Obi - Wan: Hmmm... I guess I do. Anyway, as I was saying... Anakin [dodges a blaster bolt]: Wow! Did you see that, Master? That was a close one! Obi - Wan: No, I didn't, you silly boy. I'm facing the opposite direction. Now, as I was saying... Anakin: Master, I really don't think... [disappears from existence] Obi - Wan: Anakin? [looks around] Anakin? Huh. Live by Descartes, die by Descartes, I guess. 😁

[@giantent763]

Anakin: What do you mean I don't think master? I just finished writing my thesis on Darth Plageius the Wise studies. I thought it was pretty good.

[@MisterMarin]

@@giantent763 Obi-Wan [slices a droid in half]: Oh? Did you show it to anyone?

[@CommanderLink]

BRO IS THAT JEDI ACADEMY GAMEPLAY IN THE BACKGROUND LMAO I recognise that wild erratic fast saberstyle swinging anywhere

[@MatthewMcCleskey]

Garry's Mod actually! Same vibe I'm my opinion

[@daniel_tenner]

When the sponsor advert is a decent comedy sketch all by itself

[@sunso1991]

Smart Obewon saved more than just the galaxy, he also saved Anakins hand from Duko chopping it off in 15 mintures

[@yeisonalvarez5776]

This production is spectacular in so many levels.

[@tomsanderson9111]

Obi Wan is simply too busy thinking of new sassy one liners to say. He doesn't have time to connect the dots like this

[@ds2disciple]

"Good thing you figured this out Obi-Wan. Could you imagine if you hadn't" ☠🤣

[@DIEGhostfish]

Obi-wan wouldn't kill all the clons for the potential contingency. Very darkside way to deal with a problem.

[@MortarMike]

It's times like these that you really wonder WHAT they actually talk about offscreen in these movies 😂😂

[@Gomace]

Now I want a complete story from now until Return of the Jedi leading from this event.

[@sporeham1674]

Still not gonna fix the tax problems with the separatists :(
