[@di3727]

​@@kedokinnie I got one for you. During the Roman Civil War between Caesar and Pompeus Magnus, specifically, in the Spanish campaign, had a weird moment of encounter between both sides when picking water from the nearby river, during the talks, people from both sides began remembering their homes, asking for friends, sharing what few commodities they had, it was a very brief interlude. The Pompeian side realized this and nearly attacked the Caesarians, with some disguising themselves to not get killed.

[@di3727]

To continue it, there's that an example of rest between enemies during a conflict. For a more modern example? Americans who decided to stay in Vietnam and got married and spent their lives never coming back to the US, you could still get some stories of them surviving after the retreat of Saigon and fending off until finding their place in life over there.

[@SpecForceMarine]

There’s already other stories closer to it in legends. One is about a Clone trooper who was the lone survivor of his squad and stranded after their gunship crash landed. The republic abondon him and he was left on the planet, and he spent the next 23 years on the jungle planet surviving. Until during a rebel mission against the empire, where Luke and another rebel commander crashed too on the planet and had to cross part of a jungle evading imperials, where they by chance encountered the clone in his armor, who thought they were separatist agents, but then was convinced by Luke to join them claiming tobe a heir to the jedi the clone used to follow, showing him his lightsaber and telling him they were fighting enemies of the republic. When they were discovered by a squad of imperials the clone killed them all by himself, which got him a place in the alliance special forces, leading troops in missions, until his encounter with a possessed jedi „witch“ who was awakened from her 4000 years long stasis by vader, escaping him with some mutated storm troopers…

For some reason, stories about dire enemies being forced to cooperate and eventually growing to appreciate eachother are always interesting to me.

[@EffervescentPhantasm]

During World War One (1914), French, German, and British soldiers crossed the trenches and exchanged seasonal greetings on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, exchanging food and trinkets with one another. Supposedly they even had a few moments of carolling. While it's not quite the same thing, I like to think they appreciated their foes humanity. If you want to know more, look up the Christmas truce.

[@dwminiboss511]

The "moral of the story" is that people have more things in common than what devides them. We all have the same wants and needs as individuals, but politicians always have some agendas and that is where things go bad. The individual does not want to fight strangers and die for some abstract goal that was indoctrinated into them. This is why so many vets struggle. This is why these kind of stories are so popular.

The sad thing is there are actual cases of soldiers being left behind after wars, Hiroo Onoda was a Japanese soldier in the Philippines during World War Two, he received orders not to surrender or commit suicide. Japan surrendered in August of 1945 and it wasn’t until October of that year that him and his companions discovered a leaflet announcing that Japan had surrendered, they believed it to be Allied propaganda and ignored it. Of his three companions one surrendered to Filipino forces in 1950, one was killed by local police in 1954, and the last was killed in 1972. During all those years they continued to fight with Guerrilla tactics believing the war was ongoing. In 1974 he met a Japanese explorer who became friendly with him, explained what had happened, but Onoda explained he would not surrender until he was relieved of duty by a superior officer. The explorer returned to Japan, went to the government and explained the situation, the Japanese government then located Onoda’s former commander, and he went to Japan and relieved him of his duties. Onoda then surrendered to the Philippine government in March of 1974, turning over his sword, his rifle, ammunition, grenades and dagger to the Philippine President.

Part of what makes Star Wars so great is how expansive its universe is. Every background character got a story (e.g., the old clone on Endor that was retconned as Rex), and even those characters that weren't in the background but were instead a part of the ABSTRACT background as well (like these stranded soldiers on Endor).

[@pictr]

The old man on Endor isn’t Rex, they implied that he was on rebels but Dave faloni later said that he wasn’t because the old man was an already established character with a different name in canon

[@A_massive_wog]

I love these old EU stories. So simple and humble.

[@Kiyosuki]

Man maybe that commanding officer shouldn't have just gone in first to say "Freeze"! lol

[@rudivomschauerberg6344]

Very interesting Story. I love when people learn to get over their indoctrination. I once knew an old man that was in the Waffen SS. He joined as an 18 year old Boy in 1940 and fought right until the end, killing many people and taking part in many horrible crimes probably. After the war he was in a british prison camp and a year later they kicked him out, and he was alone on the street without money, in a different part of germany were he had no friends and no family. So he lived a long time from foraging and fishing and begging, sometimes helping out on Farmwork for very little money. In these times he became friends with different stray cats, and started feeding them and taking care for them. In the village he was in, he was soon known as "the Cat man" and people donated to him clothes and money and food for him and the cats. Then someone gave him money for a ticket and he went home, taking his 5 cats with him. In the years after that he became a peaceful friendly man and build a cat shelter for stray cats on the property of his dead father, wich he inherited. In the 1980s he housed more than a hundred cats there, paying the vets bill, feeding them and saving many of their lives. In 2007 when i met him, he was already very old but still took care of cats, and also two dogs wich he found somewere. Moral of story is that political indoctrination and militaric drill often overshadow the true personality of a man, and as soon as they come to a different environment without all the propaganda, they might start thinking and reflecting and become themselfes again. Just like that Scout trooper in the video. Even if people did evil things and fought for the wrong side, everyone deserves a second chance in life !

[@abotaccount6094]

Doesn't really sound like he changed, the waffen ss doesn't teach you to hate animals

[@rudivomschauerberg6344]

@@abotaccount6094but they also dont teach you to be kind and friendly to everything you find on the street i guess

[@thejustlawofshamash]

While I do like the moral of this story, if that old man was indeed in the SS from 1940 to 1945, then he got off way too easy. A Wehrmacht soldier could possibly have gone through the war without directly participating in war crimes (albeit rather unlikely if he ever fought in the eastern front), or an SS recruit from the last year of the war might have served an entirely defensive role, that particular soldier definitely killed innocent civilians. That soldier almost certainly participated in the holocaust in a direct way, whether that be rounding up of Jews in occupied territories, or committing on-site executions of Jews or suspected partisans/communists. I'm sure spending a good chunk of his life homeless and having fought an ultimately pointless war that only brought destruction and misery to his homeland was not an easy pill to swallow, but that is far better than whatever his victims got.

[@rudivomschauerberg6344]

@@thejustlawofshamash that is very true. But even people like that can learn lessons, and they do. It doesnt make his crimes any better but its a nice proof that even such evil can turn to good again

[@captainF0Rd0]

Damn this is just hella sad on both empire and rebellion ends. Yet it’s still nice how they just decide to make a truce since they both get left behind

[@Traster_Bean]

Best star wars story. I want me some of that Ewok OG.

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

This and Apocalypse Endor are two of my favorite comic short stories.

[@Sakura_Matou]

Thanks for more videos on the True Canon.

[@manoflego123]

I remember reading this one as a kid and thinking the ending didn't make sense. Looking back nearky 2 decades later it makes a lot more sense to me now.

[@ajspin2642]

Dang lore master your still going at it? I haven't watched your channel in a very long time. Obviously because sw is dead but I forgot how good the stories in the so called "legends" are. It felt good to listen to actual star wars and to someone who actually still tells them.

[@Goofy_Dominican]

*If only Disney could be this creative*

[@TheMimiSard]

I am thinking the clone scout trooper is a surviving bitty cadet who got shipped off similar to what happened to Mox, Stak, and Deke. Unlike them, this guy got sent to a training base and curculate into trooper training.

[@TheMimiSard]

Oh I love the Gorax being brought into the story! The writer remembered the Ewok movies!

[@Alarcj7]

Wholesome story, crazy to see that the clones were still around 20 years after the Clone Wars

[@ArmouredProductions]

He might not have been a Fett clone specifically. In Legends, the Empire cloned different templates along with recruiting born humans.

[@yumallah]

Look at him. Does he NOT look like a Fett clone?

[@DanielIKing]

This is better story telling than most of the movies and television shows in the Star Wars universe.

[@maddlarkin]

Clones we're that unusual in the EU, the Empire couldnt keep up with recruitment numbers so started recruiting birth born into the ranks which was seen as diluting the quality of the Storm Troopers, ontop of that as per Battlefront 2, the Kaminion's tried to rebel with a batch of specially made clones so after that thr Empire moved to multipule templates as well as Jango's to prevent 1 type being tampted with or altered, the lead to most every unit in the Empire being a mix of regular humans as well as different clone types with a few execeptions, most famously the 501's 'Vaders Fist' which stayed 100" Fett clones due to Vaders service with them in the clone wars and was thus convinced of their superior abilties. Then Disney got hold of all that intresting lore and replaced it with, er clones got retired after the Clone Wars and replaced with a birth born recruited army cause the clones showed too much independence (the troops manufactured for pupose, genetically designed for loyalty with a stupid chip in their head to ensure it curtsy of Dave were too independent.) Oh and we blew up all the cities of Kaminio cause we heard you guys really liked that bit from Battlefront 2 and had to be sure to erase it.

[@everydaychemistry6231]

They fought 45 minutes hand to hand and they still have their eyes and fingers lol

[@Cell_reverted_egg]

Btw The Stormtroopers stranded on Endor were either hunted down by Ewoks or escaped with the remaining empire. Thanks to Battlefront 2

[@norliasmith]

It's a good thing they came cross that Imperial II-Class star destroyer, especially for the clone if the reactor was still intact, being able to keep his AT-ST charged as he lived off the lands of Endor.
