Using flamethrowers against military targets isnt a warcrime. Killing fleeing enemies who havent surrendered or who arent injured is also not a war crime.

[@magicwalrus4255]

I love that Anakin is involved with 90% of them

[@brelidav]

Anakin actively participates in 8 of these war crimes including the one the uploader counted back for some reason...idk. Since there are 23 war crimes listed here in total, at 8 Anakin commits about 34.78% of the war crimes shown in this video. And while they're not TECHNICALLY Anakin's war crimes, I thought it'd be fun to add HALF of each of Ahsoka's crimes to Anakin's tally since...he was kinda responsible for her throughout the war. This brings Anakin to 10.5 war crimes or 45.65% of the trouble maker. It doesn't sound like a lot, certainly not as much as 90% (which, in order to get, Anakin would have to have committed 20.7 war crimes.) But when you account for the fact that, according to this video the scores for the ENTIRE war are as follows: Yoda - 1 Ki Adi Mundi - 1 Anakin - 8 Ahsoka - 5 Obi-Wan - 2 Bo Katan - 1 Clones - 2 Pong Krell - 1 Rex - 1 Padme - 2 Palpatine - 1 Anakin DEFINITELY has the most. Obi-Wan and Padme are only about 8% of the problem. The clones probably SHOULD rank higher, but I based them on whether or not they were in charge of the situation when the war crime was committed. Anyway, all of this because your 90% made me wonder what Anakin's ACTUAL percentage of ownership of these crimes were and...apparently it's 34.78% if you don't lump his in with Ahsoka.

Also, wouldn't say the republic was corrupted. It's just that war does a great job of creating an Us Vs Them mob mentality that's really dangerous and easy to convince to do anything. You'll notice in U.S. history (if you are or aren't from there) that during wars is when we were the most united. Also when we were the most xenophobic and racist and printing slurs on the front page. As for Anakin, I always thought that was just a nice bonus for Palps.

And given that our own war crimes are rooted in logic (often because it helps one’s own soldiers being allowed to surrender or receive medical aid, for example), such an advanced society would likely come up with the same laws and even add things on.

@@blessedboy4404 friend... the jedi arnt STEALING children... they used their influence over the republic to get a law that FORCES parents to give up their children. TOTALY different and all legal. nothing at all wrong there. ;)

"Chancellor Palpatine, war crimes are our speciality."

[@Vandicoup]

Star Wars is literally a fictional space fantasy universe filled with completely sentient droids and space wizards. An entirely different universe is going to have some different laws, rules, regulations and moralities. Some of our laws will align while many others won't. We have to remember that instead of shoving our real world politics and laws into these fictional events all the dang time. Not everything is exactly the same over there. What's considered a crime to us, may not be in the Star Wars universe.

The Umbara arc killed me... that scene when the two companies of clones engage was just so damn painful

[@Alexi_Shalabyev]

Second most painful First was the ending of s7 😭

[@SGz_Eliminated]

That kind of tragedy used to happen a lot in major conflicts too and it was always gut wrenching when the men found out.

[@the_matad0r342]

To be fair, I don’t think that one counts. This was ordered by a traitor. A Separatist spy, essentially. Any non-traitor general wouldn’t have ordered it because it wasn’t true.

I feel bad, because at first I thought they weren't clones either, only because I was a little kid... (technically that's a separatist war crime because krell did end up being the bad guy working for doku)

"that one was clean it cancels out the earlier warcrime" I am deceased 🤣🤣

But to be fair he said he was surrendering everyone on board even though He's the only 1on board he technically wasn't lying They just didn't accept the surrender.

I loved the clone wars for the way Anakin changes throughout it and it also made the galaxy feel so real with so many different planets and species throughout the show
