Not sure why. The Old Republic had a standing army. You'd be foolish to think a galaxy-spanning government wouldn't have a military this size to enforce it's will and protect it's citizens. I get not wanting to go to war, which is probably what Bail is upset about. But either your citizens get killed/oppressed by Separatist forces, or you let your expendable-by-design army die for them.

[@alanrubio8435]

Cru-Say some sources say it's a tradition in Alderaan that when people get married, the man changes their last name for the wife's. That would mean that Bail was not married at the time of episode 1 but would eventually get married prior episode 2. And if the new canon wants to go with this, then Kylo Ren's birth name wouldn't be Ben Solo it would be Ben Organa.

The Phantom Menace indeed. He put on such a show, deceiving everyone into thinking that he was confident enough to win the war, yet restrained enough to make everyone believe he wanted peace and prosperity for the republic. Most villains would not have been able to contain themselves at the sight of a battle so decisively won. The prequels had flaws, but Palpatine’s machinations comprise one of my favorite parts of Star Wars. I think that’s why people prefer this to his plot in the sequels. By the end, you could see palpatine’s hands on every side of this conflict, where in the rise of skywalker you just saw useless clones of snoke and an unstoppable fleet rising from the depths.

[@antoinemonks4187]

Palpatine is an amazing villian. When you watch the films in numerical order he almost feels like the main character at times.

[@darthbane3937]

The only way I could've seen Rise make some sense is by Palpatine helping the resistance. Kylo is already ruling the galxy. He was winning so had no need for that fleet. Palps should've helped the resistance, given them credits, a fleet, as a hidden donor. Then when the resistance is about to win, then go lure Kylo in and offer a desperate man a fleet. That would've been pure Palpatine, using both sides.

[@alexprendes7370]

@@darthbane3937 that would have been fantastic and it would have taken a cohesive trilogy to see it out. If done well enough, it could work. The way it was done, there was no indication that the first order was in need of anything at all. Instead, it was only implied that they were struggling to take absolute control, hence why Kylo accepted the fleet. Overall, it was just not cohesive and bringing back Palpatine damaged the character instead of saving the movie.

The scary part is a detachment of those clones would become “Vader’s Fist” The 501st

The 501st was not under these clones.

This is one of my favourite parts in the entire saga!

[@iyiyasa934]

Things were pretty boring in the prequel trilogy until I saw this scene and this is when I said like "wait this is supposed to be republic that will be overthrown by the empire in the next episode, something weird is going on!".

Awesome atmosphere, with the engines of the ships coming to life

[@inxight8799]

Something that I find interesting is that when the ships start to take off, it kinda sounds like Darth Vader's breathing if you really listen to it. Idk if that was intentional, but if it was, that's really great foreshadowing

[@nikolai522]

Love the foreshadowing with the Imperial March theme

[@darthvader2812]

And thus, without us knowing at first, the Empire was born.

I can imagine this same area years later being filled stormtroopers, AT-ATs, AT-STs getting onto transports to be transferred over to Imperial-class star destroyers.

[@UnknownPersononGoogle]

I love the thundering sound as the cruisers power up their engines in preparation for take off. Just watch them turn on and then a sound after.

*The scenery is genius. The sun is setting on the Republic. The Dusk of Democracy.*

[@girlgarde]

When I first saw this scene in the movie theatre, I thought to myself "And so it begins, decades of war and death begins with this scene.....".

[@rbclc]

During my childhood our family used to rent VCD Movies to watch during the weekend. Among so many films we have watched... This particular scene and(also The First Battle of Geonosis) is one of my most memorable scenes so far in my life.

[@thecardude]

The beginning of an empire. This scene gives me goosebumps.

[@darknerd8332]

I love the lighter version of the Imperial March here since this is still the republic. But when the Jedi were hunted down, and the Empire rose with Vader, the song turned more Dark and menacing

[@wyoboy01]

Probably the most iconic scene from the original trilogy.

[@LedosKell]

This is one of those scenes I remember vividly from watching in the theater. Seeing the clones in formation... and then the music hit. People around me were so giddy. It was like an old friend had returned and you knew there was more to come on the horizon.

[@Ruliuaneth21]

It's astonishing. The small handful of senators cooped up in that small balcony, forced to witness the beginning of a future that is being crafted by the single person standing in front of them. Just look at him! Palpatine is living his truth, and he has every last senator wrapped around his wrinkly little fingers.

[@Obbe79]

I always loved Bail Organa's reaction in this scene (which, by the way, is much more intense after watching the Clone Wars series)

[@austinbyrnes8091]

God I just love the sounds the engines make

[@DarthWall275]

Some great forshadowing. Lol. Also, I prefer this clone design over the 501st.

[@DaLatinKnight]

You mean you like it more than the phase 2 armor or the 501st blue design?

[@LoneWanderer101]

DaLatinKnight I think he means the phase 2 armor. I don't really like it that much either.

[@DaLatinKnight]

Lone Wanderer Eh, I like it. I mean, I've never really thought about how much I like either one.

[@SlfAcd]

DaLatinKnight i kinda do it makes them look mo like stormies

[@DaLatinKnight]

Sam Richardson It's cool to see their gradual change from cool, somewhat decorative armor, to the soulless looking stormtrooper armor

[@lieutenantdata7156]

I like how palpatine has the two most powerful armies in the galaxy fighting each other and he’s chilling in his imperial office

[@gamerboi09]

The best ending out of all the movies

[@santaria19]

Best part from Attack Of The Clones! I get goose bumps every time i watch this.
