The 501st | Our Duty [50k Special]

*WARNING, THE CLONE WARS (show) SPOILERS*
Song used in 12:38 - • Star Wars - Rogue One ...
Here it is guys! Finally! Merry belated Christmas to you all! Sorry for the delay! The process took a lot longer than I thought and I wanted to make sure you all got this video at its best quality!
I just wanted to let you all know how awesome you are. Thank you for all of the support/comments/appreciation for the videos I've done. It truly means the world to me and I will be forever grateful!
This one is the longest I've ever done. The story of the 501st is a collective narrative of many different characters (mostly Clone troopers) who got the worst of the war. I wanted to explore the perspective of these soldiers and get a feel of how the war ACTUALLY was in Star Wars (the clone wars specifically). It was truly a tragedy just like many other characters in this universe. I really did enjoy making this one and I hope you will all enjoy it!
May the Force be with you, and a Happy New Year!!

It took me forever to realize that the Nightmares, the Mission that Fives and Tup were referencing was Order 66, the extermination of their commanders, leaders, and their friends. That hurts me on an even larger level because that tells you that on a subconscious level, they kind of knew what they were going to do. Furthermore, the very fact that they're nightmares to them tells us that they truly didn't want to. This makes me grateful that certain clones didn't live to see that day, and that some managed to take out their chips.

Also they are human and humans tend to tell themselves, they had to do it, there was no other way, I don't regret it, ...

[@chriscolumbia9834]

In the Legends lore(and possibly current cannon, I’m not sure), order 66 was one of 150 contingency orders that the clones had memorized. So the entire army knew that they might one day have to kill their Jedi generals, but weren’t controlled by the inhibitor chip. They had been indoctrinated since creation to serve the *republic* first and foremost. Jango made sure to give multiple speeches and lessons to his personal Alpha Arc batch that the republic was the best chance for the galaxy, and that it at all costs must be upheld. Another contingency allowed the replacement or even termination of the chancellor, should he step beyond his bounds.

[@callumwebb4927]

@@chriscolumbia9834 The chips still make sense when you think about it, even if the Clones were already briefed about order 66 and most would adhere to it anyway, why would Sidious risk leaving it to chance that the majority Clones wouldn't somehow disobey and question the logic of their orders ?

"As the Rebels fled, the 501st gathered around a burning bunker and let out a cheer that shook the stars. The Rebellion was done, the Death Star was being rebuilt, bigger than ever. Order had finally returned to the Galaxy, in no small part due to the efforts of the fighting men of the 501st."

Seriously though. Everyone thinks the Jedi got the shortest stick, but it was really the clones. Vilified for something they were literally forced to do, and had ZERO say in. And that thing, obviously cutting down their friends who they’d fought battles with for years. Man... can’t even imagine what that must fee like

[@ABCDyeahyeahyeah]

You will need to recut this after the battle of mandalore. I suspect the scene where Rex decides to save ahsoka rather than participate in order 66 is going to be jaw dropping.

[@zacharywilhelm8887]

ABCDyeahyeah are they gonna incorporate that into the new season of tcw?

[@Brentlolgamez]

@Kace O'Neill the original before tcw got cancelled by Disney was to have order 66 in it and that the series would even go beyond that

[@MarkyMark1221]

I was on board with the siege of mandalore alone but I’d love to see order 66 and it’s aftermath.

[@thegreatjedi309]

@@MarkyMark1221 I believe they definitely will. When Maul and Ahsoka fought in Rebels, Maul mocked Ahsoka that she is "running away again", so it's alluding they never finished their duel at Mandalore, and it wasn't Maul who fled. I don't think Ahsoka's combat skills is inferior to Maul's by the end of the Clone Wars - she's Anakin's Padawan! The most logical reason their fight was interrupted and she was forced to retreat would be if Order 66 had been executed. We already know at least part of the Clone Wars is running in parallel with RotS, after all.

[@nightnite6517]

It’s confirmed that order 66 will be season 7 of clone wars and that this new season will be intertwined with episode 3. Some parts taking place at the same time. So I am also begging that this gets remade with the battle of mandalore

[@vergil7370]

14:26 That scene of the death star and then the Helmets just had me bawling my eyes out. I miss the republic so much..Just goes to show the betrayal the clones had faced, But couldn’t do anything about it, after all. Clones follow all orders..That’s what’s heartbreaking.

[@alexbibby9641]

The best part about that is that while the inhibitor chips preserved the carefully and masterfully created humanity displayed in the animated series, the original brainwashed indoctrinated troopers are the most realistic. That being said it could still have worked equally well if this was true as (like Mason in black ops) the most humanised troopers with the strongest bonds would have had to fight the ‘activation code’ order 66. They would still have had to fight themselves but it would have been more of a choice built through experience, like I said both work but this seems to be the more realistic and could have carried a greater message. But that’s just my opinion

[@nikosfilipino]

10:55 this edited standoff with the dialogue and whatnot, absolutely perfect and how i wish it wouldve went down.

[@acrone2037]

[@ethpling165]

Now we have to have the real thing and it hurt just as much

[@luisda5566]

The thing that simply makes me very sad is that the clones fought for what they were meant to do. In their short but action packed lives they developed critical thinking and despite the Sith’s plans, they did everything they could to stop them. Hail the 501st! The best of the best! Simply, amazing.

[@lanceleader163]

Tup’s death scene always kills me when he says, “The mission, you know the one, the one in our dreams...” And all the clones in the room look at each other, as if they know exactly what Tup is talking about. Also, I cry when Rex is holding Fives as he dies.

[@kayhaych05]

When we were younger, my brother and I used to sit down every night and watch the latest episode of Clone Wars. Not gonna lie, when I first watched this tribute I cried.

The video is phenomenal, exceeding expectations. Showing the clones growing from young guys getting ready for a war, to fighting, and then order 66. The complete breakdown of the family, with the death of thorn, echo (he’s alive but yea), Gregor, and the collapse of the army. The crying breath of fives as the empire solidifies its reign of tyranny is heartbreaking. You have an amazing talent and thank you for making an amazing video

We might be getting a Boba Fett standalone movie, it wouldn't be a 501st Story but... There might be parts in the movie where it shows how Boba Fett interacts with his father (Jango Fett: the originator of the clones). Also be parts where Boba Fett gets to see the clones as well. Now wouldn't that be an awesome tale.

The 501st remained intact, just a small portion of them left with Ahsoka. The rest, they became known as Vader's Fist and their ranks were gradually filled by normal (but well-trained) Stormtroopers.

[@darkmelody68]

He could feel his heart, his soul; turn to darkness. “For everything I’ve done, can I be considered good?” He kneels down to her. She reaches out to him and wraps her arms around him , “You cannot be all good, especially in a world like this. But that doesn’t make you evil.” “I killed dozens! My hands have the blood of 100 men. Fathers and sons who were never able to go to their families!” He wanted to cry he to let it out. He knew what he did, all the lives he took. “Maybe... But you can change, I believe you can.” He felt the weight of those deaths on his back, like feathers, steel feathers maybe a hundred or more. Stretching out and constantly weighing him down.

[@SuperTJdude]

Ya know, the only time we had Clone Troopers be fleshed out before the Clone Wars was the Republic Commando series of books and hell, even the game. And it did great on it's own but sadly wasn't as popular to even the norm as compared to what this series accomplished.

[@nightwing2032]

The nostalgia is real, I was 12 years old in 2009 when I first saw the Star Wars the clone wars and I’ve watched almost every single episode of it. I’ve also watched the movie of the clone wars tv show as well. I almost screamed and passed out when I found out the clone wars was coming back, I was in the store with my mom so I had to keep my voice down.😅 the sadness, the nostalgia, the memories, everything was on point. I’ve watched both rebels and the clone wars. May force be with you, always.😏

Our Brothers in arms....the clones we knew and love.... What a tribute.... Fives,Echo, Hevy, Gregor all of our boys. May the 501st be with us in our hearts and never truly gone.

This makes me cry every time I watch it... I grew up with Star Wars and Star Wars The Clone Wars... Every Friday night my mom set it to where I had the TV all to myself so I never missed an episode of the Clone Wars and fell deeply in love with every clone that was in the series.... The clones love for their best friends (The Jedi) and their brothers and how one second they were fighting with them then the next shooting them down.... Especially when you set it up with the Episode on Umbara after showing Order 66 where Rex says "We are shooting at our own men" knowing that it is mentioning the clones shooting at their jedi generals.... Just kills me.... Thank you for this HFP another great one.... And a very sad one...

"...What I remember about the Rise of the Empire... Was about how quiet was. We all knew what was about to happen. What we're about do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous, thoughts?

Knowing that the Clones were forced to kill the Jedi makes me sad, because many of those Clones loved their Jedi Generals. I'm happy they were forced and didn't do it because they wanted to(well...some might've been happier to kill their General than others). But what makes me cry happy tears is the thought that the Clones who died in battle didn't live long enough to betray the Jedi who trusted them so much. Their Mission, their Nightmares, are finally over...

[@lichyboiyeppers4495]

I think what made the clones so memorable was that despite the lack of individuality in appearance they were all still different in their personalities. I loved that ahsoka, anakin, obiwan, and even Yoda all recognized this and treated them accordingly. They even got to know many of the clones on a personal level and treated them all like people, despite the republic creating them for the explicit purpose of fighting droids who didnt know their individuality. None of them deserved to die, and none of them deserved the control that palpatine put on them with the chips. I wish that most of the clone army could have defected and lived their own lives.
