The Most Brutal Period of the Clone Wars & It's Not Even Close - A Deep Look At the Outer-Rim Sieges

Thanks to the machinations of Darth Sidious, the Clone Wars were a stalemate for most of their duration. For years, the Republic and the CIS fought a back-and-forth war, each capturing and losing territory in turn. Until the Battle of Coruscant, most of the galaxy was under the impression that there was no end to the war in sight. But starting in late 20 BBY, the truth was that the Republic was winning. Slowly but surely, the Republic had begun to centralize and rally its industrial might, and by the start of 19 BBY, it was pushing Separatist forces back on every front, bringing the fight to the Rimward strongholds of the Confederacy. These grueling final months of the Clone Wars were known as the Outer Rim Sieges, and in this long-form video we’ll be telling the full story of this bloody chapter of the war.

This was when the Republic started using any tactics necessary to win the war. Even if it meant innocent people got hurt or worse. It foreshadowed how the Republic was one step closer to becoming an Empire.

[@ApolloTC]

One thing I like about the lore of the Clone Wars that isnt talked about much is that the Clone Army fought more than just droids. A good portion of the CIS forces were loyalist militias that wreaked havoc through guerilla engagements on the Clone Battalions laying siege to their planets, rightfully so may I add. It kinda goes to show you that there isn't a clear line of Good Guy | Bad Guy in war. Especially in a universe as expansive as Star Wars.

[@sarinspit]

And the reverse is true too: many droid invasions were fought back by republic aligned militia forces that were around since before the clone wars

[@topdog5252]

I bet Palpatine could speed up or slow down the war as needed, to better align events with Anakin’s fall and to make sure everything was ready for Empire day. Leak some tactical information to one side… order some new big invasion, etc. and generally make sure all the pieces were in place so in the end all the political power and legal authority was firmly in his grasp and Anakin’s distrust and frustration with the Jedi was running high. You can imagine Sidious constantly adapting the details of his grand plan, to best suit his needs and goals throughout the war. It’s like in the Obi Wan undercover arc in the clone wars show, after setting up tests for Anakin, Palpatine can see he is not yet ready to turn to the dark side at that time, but by the time of the outer rim sieges, everything is falling into place.

[@callumarmitage5375]

It makes you wonder just how hard it would be to actually conquer a world than it is in star wars.

[@JW-do3mp]

Incredibly hard, assuming weapons and armor are roughly equalized. The invading party would most likely not know the terrain, or at least very well. Neither party would know the creative tactics each are capable of, yet. The invading party would have to fight through the planetary armed forces as well as any cells that would attack them they weren't aware of. Element of surprise is everything. Once that's broken, violence of action all the way. Keys to taking a position, assuming element of surprise is gone, is deception and misdirection.

[@thalmoragent9344]

​@JW-do3mp Well, all these planets likely have maps on their general terrain and continents. The surface can also be seen by the fleets above the atmospheres as well, so, surely we could see some improvements on our own abilities to map in the past. But, on a Galactic scale, you'd see planets fall after taking key major cities on each continent. Not as grueling as it has been in our world in the past.

[@ArdysLoreLibrary]

Tbh, I'm unsure about the claim that the CIS was really losing during the Outer Rim Sieges. Grievous believed that a separatist victory was possible, even after Coruscant. And he was no fool. The CIS lost around 5% of their entire strength in the Battle of Coruscant. Devastating in absolute numbers, but acceptable in comparison. Even the death of Count Dooku wasn't as fatal as it first appeared. The CIS truly died with General Grievous. If he had survived, the war would've continued. And considering that he would have undoubtedly unleashed all the reserves Sidious and Dooku kept behind the front lines for years, it's even possible that he could have destroyed the Empire within months. Especially if he arrived on Kashyyyk after Utapau and captured the planet and these secret hyperspace routes.

This video is wrong because Star Wars: Rebels says that the Separatist military vastly outnumbered the Republic military at the end of the Clone war. That the CIS only lost because of the Droid shut down command. It also doesn't make sense the Republic had a bigger industry because droids can help build ships and other weapons 24/7. Droid factories operate 24/7. Droids don't need food, sleep, or rest. Just electrical power. So of course the Separatists had better industrial might than the Republic.

[@cleanmurphgamingandnews6151]

It was NOT Nute Gunray who deactivated the Droid Army. The Droid Army was disabled by Darth Vader, as revealed in one scene in Revenge of the Sith, AFTER he killed Nute Gunray.

[@theliato3809]

The interesting thing about how this is framed in the story is that it depicts vast swathes of space and their campaigns as sieges. Shows a sense of scale and subtle dread at the massive amount of war occurring at this time

[@jamesashcroft8170]

I really like the snippets from the Novelisation. The bit where it mentions Order 66 is really well executed IMO.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Brutal, but like the American Civil War's "March to the Sea", it has the benefit of being the beginning of the end. That I'm eternally grateful. Pity TCW 2008 somehow made the sieges happen a bit too early, if not a bit too relegated offscreen. Looking at you, Felucia episodes, and the lack of Mygeeto and Saleucami action.

It would have sent shockwaves throughout the galaxy as now the key lynch pin holding the war as it is would be gone. For starters the republic is gonna be rudderless for months.

Without her iron will, none of us would have come out of that mess with our sanity, or our lives. When her death came, I hope it was quick. She earned that much. When the 501st was finally rotated out of Felucia, Aayla Secura made a point of seeing us off personally, calling us the bravest soldiers she had ever seen.

Question: What time period had the most brutal wartime conflicts?

[@jeffagain7516]

I'd suggest that's a rather difficult question to answer Buddy, since brutality in any war is a given. If you mean most despicable means of conquest, the Rakata were quite good at that. If you mean most lives lost per battles accumulated, The Yuhzan Vong Wars would probably lead. if you mean long slogs without visible means of an end for extended periods per battle, the Clone Wars no doubt head the chart. So, you'd need to further embellish what ya mean. Old creamy Sheevs may have been one of the most calculating and forward thinking of the Sith but some of his predecessor's activities, gave new meaning to the word "despicable" when it came to specific battles.

Having a 3 million number for the clones makes a little more sense in a harder sci-fi universe where entire planets only have a few cities or places of interest to fight over. As it stands, 3 million is literally nothing when you have Ecumenopolis planets everywhere

Can you do Star wars vs Warhammer 40k specifically ( the republic/CIS vs the Imperium and maybe other faction)

[@poopypigeon536]

there is no point, WH40K would stomp them in less then 2 hours.

[@disturbedgoth667]

​@@poopypigeon536not even two hours i give both factions 30 minutes maybe less before even just the imperium of man clapping both sides just a full legion of adeptus astartes and the conflict is over then and there

Long live the Republic and its Clone guardians.

What if Nute Gunray ignored Sidious and did not issue the shutdown command of the Droid Army? What if Seperatist leaders relocated from Mustafar after learning of General Grevious' death? What if the CIS dragged on the war without Sith interference? The Empire fought Separatist holdouts, some with ease, others not so much; but could a unified droid army have stood a chance against the Empire? The Republic was only winning because of Sith interference; yes, republic industrial efforts got their shit together and turned the tide, but weren't Separatist forces still held back by Sidious? I remember Geisor Delso attempting to restart the Droid Armies on Mustafar. It was such a threat that the 501st was sent to deal with it.
