PNR Comp Guy Actually, some WERE removed.

And of course the Nulls gave the Empire the 1 finger salute. Commander Levet deserted, Corr (a new member of Omega Squad to replace Fi, who “died” and deserted), and several others I can’t think of off the top of my head. Not to mention the civilians who abandoned the Empire and married their clone sweethearts.

The best hour for the Republic Commandos for me was when they retook an Acclamator-Class Assault Ship and used it to destroy a Lucrehulk that was more than four times its size. Despite fighting butt-loads of Trandoshan mercs and Confederate Battle Droids. When that Lucrehulk exploded mid-air, that was the proudest moment in the game for me.

[@philip7060]

You mention that a squad of Clone Commandos would take out a squad of Nulls due to the differences in birth, genetics, and how they were raised but the Nulls were raised together and when they did operate together it was comparable to several squads of commados. The Clone Commando series comes to mind.

All I think for the last 15 years is that this game was ahead of its time. If LucasArts made it a franchise during Modern Warfare-esque military shooter era, it would have been a huge hit. Special forces - check. Various exotic locations - check. Weapon customization - check. Soldier personalization - check. Biggest license at the time - check. WHHHHHYYYYYYYY (I mean, I know literally “why”, gross mismanagement by carousel of LucasArts bosses with no idea what to do with all those IPs, but it still hurts)

I think NULL ARCs were the best and deserve their own tv show in canon. Bad Batch needs it's own video game and so does SCAR (imperial elite squad).

Great video, as usual. I think you skipped the Alpha ARCs, which were kind of in between the Nulls and commandos. Kal’buir said that there were two Death Watch in the cuy’val dar, although Jango didn’t know at the time. And having been cross trained by Sergeant Skirata, I think I could say commando work is much better than EOD.

[@MandoSki464]

Verpine rifles were about the only small arms weapons that the commandos had to worry about because blasters didn’t hurt the Katarn armor to much but a verp gun would blow right through their armor

[@bostontracy5151]

You’re mistaken about the ARC’s you refer to. There were only 6 Nulls and they fought for the Republic only when they weren’t doing the bidding of Kal Skirata, their legally adoptive father; it’s all in the Republic Commando books. There were far more ARC’s and Alpha ARC’s, which is who you’re referring to. The Null ARCs could eat the ARCs and Commandos for breakfast, as is made obvious in the books. The regular ARC’s, however, are much closer to the Commandos. In a straight up fight, it took 2 Omega squad Commandos to subdue A-11 Sull (ARC trooper) without killing him. In a 1-on-1 fight, the ARCs are deadlier, they’re essentially trained to be 1-man armies, but the Commandos are still nothing to scoff at. Far from it. Commandos are basically specific Special Forces, each squad almost a 4-man army, and the ARC’s are almost 1-man armies.

Everything, even the massive multi-media projects (except maybe Shadows of the Empire) were never considered a serious addition to the saga. Even projects like The Force Unleashed, which George Lucas and LucasArts were heavily involved in, didn't make them as serious additions to any canon lore. They were just made to be new and interesting, and to tell a story that was different. Almost in George Lucas' exact words "The Force Unleashed takes the Force, and takes it way over-the-top", and that was the point. So gamers could just have fun being Jedi wrecking-balls.

[@DIEGhostfish]

If I remember correctly the Jedi DID know to not use the commandos on open field mass surface battles, but that led to something potentially even worse. Sending them undersupported into Hive and Factory tunnels with no forward intel.

[@szczypior2714]

What happens when one of the four commandos dies? They have to get a new one? It creates many problems. You said that they were hanging out almost only in the groups of four since birth, but then things get conplicated when one squad lost one guy, and the other lost two. How to merge them? One of the guys from the first squad goes to a diffrent squad that has 3 members? But which one? And that would cause endless shuffling whenever a clone commando dies, making it impossible for them to hang out only in these groups of four.

[@szczypior2714]

After the shuffling they will loose a huge atribute, that is being tuned with each other

[@nicoaicher7864]

If a squad lost a man on the mission they get a replacement. It's ether a clone who undergoes crosstraining like corr who replaced Fi in omega squad. Or if a clone commando lost all three brothers he gets transferred into a squad which lost a man or if their are three other commandos that are alone they get put together. For example omega squad. If they had the same training seargant it's not that big of a problem. But if they had diverent ones it can be very difficult for them.

[@Jack-og9ox]

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. While the Null Class ARC troopers were unstable and a poor fit for a traditional military setting, the Alpha Class ARC troopers had increased stability without losing much of their battle prowess. Even Obi Wan said, in the 2003 series, that they were the best. They were even trained by fett himself. If you put an alpha against a commando in a 1 on 1 fight, my odds are 9/10 for the alpha. This has been my Ted talk

[@xBoB2017x]

I mean he literally said commando's lose 1v1, but they're much stronger as a team that acts as 1 person compared to say 4 ARCs who have different ideas and strategies

[@MatikaSkirata]

also if you put a null against an ARC, the null wins 10/10 times 😅 but also their strength was more their memory and intelligence, they were far superior to normal ARCs

[@DIEGhostfish]

Alpha or post alpha ARCs 1v1 with no shield on the Katarn armor I would say 60-80%winrate for the ARC. 4v4 or even 4v8 O give to the commandos.

To me, ARC Troopers (The Clone Wars microseries) > Republic Commandos As much as I love the latest The Clone Wars show, I hated how they pretty much nerfed the ARC Troopers to an extent. It was more of a rank that a soldier can get promoted to instead of the Legends/EU lore where ARC Troopers were engineered differently to be more like Jango Fett. Also, Jango Fett and a few Mandlorians trained the ARC Troopers themselves. What made the Legends/EU ARC Troopers badasses is how they had an aura and mystique about them such as being locked away in stasis, and activated for critical important times. There was a saying in one of the comics that you send in 100 clone troopers or 4 Republic Commandos to complete a mission, but you only need 1 ARC Trooper. Don't get me wrong, Fives and Echo were awesome ARC Troopers, but the others like Colt, Blitz, Havoc, etc?

In a comparison the RCs are a solid tier two unit for white ops but they're nothing compared to Delta Force otherwise known as CAG by the DOD and SFOD-D by Jsoc once you take away the tech of the RCs. Why is that well first the average Delta operators been in infantry and another tier two SOF before gaining acceptance into Delta if not multiple tier two SOFs as many have. Therefore the average Delta recruit is already more skilled and expiernced then a fresh clone commando able to execute all types of missions where as a commandos skill set is limited. Then there's the fact that Delta is black ops meaning able to do missions the US can easily deny. They often don't ware standard US military gear so you won't recognize them and can be passed off as Afghan guerrillas, SDF fighters, or other indigenous forces. Republic Commandos as pointed out with armor that you can distinctly call out as clone commando armor. Therefore as a comparison Delta is objectively better then the Republic Commandos. However the republic commandos would make a solid tier two force used to raid and harass an enemy force to death. So their essentially hightech SEALs and MARSOC Raiders if you want a US comparison. But honestly closer to WW2 era commando units. In actual fight they've got a huge technology advantage. If it's a death battle they'd win if it's a war Delta force would lure the commandos into a situation to set up an ambush using their recon specialists to get a good idea of the environment before engaging the enemy. Then most likely desquised as natives of said world take out said commando squad then disappear allowing the US government to deny any and all involvement.

[@jebusglatze1285]

Anyone who thinks ARCs are better than commandos please consider the fact that there are only three differences. The first is that Commandos are like regular clones (more obedient etc.) Alpha ARCs are unaltered Jango except for the faster aging. Alpha Arcs were known to be lone wolfs and they really rarely worked with other ARCs or Troopers. There was one ARC named spar who even deserted before the war even started. And this is basiaclly what the kaminoans have forseen. They did not trust those troopers. Jango trained these men himself. Second, there were 10.000 commandos and 100 Trainers of which 75 were mandalorians and 25 were normal mercanaries which Jango picked himself. That means every trainer trained 100 commandos like Jango trained his 100 Alpha ARCs. That basically means the main difference at this point is the trainer. As we know Valon Vau is the trainer who lost the least commandos and its this man who trained delta squad which was known as the republics best squad. That also means Jango lost more of his ARCs than Valon lost of his men. Valon was known as to most brutal and ruthless trainer in the GAR. He let his men fight each other until one of the clones couldnt fight back anymore and if they did not want to they had to fight him in his full armor. Sometimes some of those clones were in life threatening conditions. As brutal as he was as effective were the men he trained. Summed up, it depends on the particular commando squad we talk about. The squads trained by non mandos were known to be of lesser quality than those of mandos. Was Jango the best trainer? For his independent ARCs, most likely. For normal Squads? Most likely not. So who is better? You cant really say it because they were used quite differently because of the Arcs loner nature. I personally think a commando squad could handle every task an ARC was given but I dont believe an ARC could pull of some of the missons commandos were assigned with. The Third difference is gear. I dont think we have to talk about this point that much. A commando had way better armor than an ARC and they were free to choose every weapon they want. ARCs had also a large pool of weapons they could choose from but dont have katarn armor. From what i think they are not that different in their capabilities but i also believe many commandos could win against ARCs and some could not as it strongly depends on which squad we are talking about.

Need a hero to save the day? Call a Jedi. Need to win a war to save the galaxy? Call the Mandalorians.

I had a question about the Imperial Army/Stormtrooper Corps. Was the idea of leaving the wounded behind exclusive to the stormtroopers or was it applied to all branches, specifically the Imperial Army? Essentially what I'm asking is if there were Imperial Army Medics or not. All answers are appreciated, thanks!

[@bloodangel3888]

I wish they would just make a new Commandos game! Just something with simple squad vs squad multiplayer and a story driven single player.

[@ugiustuskeiserus8066]

No, there shouls not be another game

[@TheMoen22]

I wish Karen travis continued the book series

[@Cryogenius333]

"One of the easiest ways to recognize a clone commando was by the large bulky backpack..." Umm...naw. Its the visor for me.

I am still waiting for the RC-breach wallpaper from the other Commando video

Clone commandos are lit

[@masterofthelego]

You should do some on the Andromeda (TV series)...

Open field combat is of course their major disadvantage, but with spec ops and skirmish fights as their forte makes them pretty lethal. Loved playing the Republic Commando game on my Original Xbox and still do to this day. The books were pretty good and got me interested further into Mandalorian culture and history. Although I had my disagreements with somethings Karen Traviss did with the Null Clones, who seemed far too expert at everything they learned. I know it’s their genetic code or whatever the Kaminoans did to them, but still it felt kinda Mary Sue-ish? Not enough to stop me from continue reading of course, but enough to criticize the concept she had for them. However, I enjoyed every time Omega Squad were on the pages or any other Mando for that matter. Especially Fi, my top favorite character in the RC books. Shereshoy ner’vod!!!

[@flyer3154]

Yes

[@thelegoconnoisseur0880]

They are second only to arcs but not arcs who where promoted to the ranks like echo and 5s

[@romariowilson6254]

I heard their adding them to star wars battlefront 2

[@Boom__6678]

Far as I'm concerned both clone wars and the republic commando novels happened, simply put: Jango Fett was a mando, but not anymore, and the pacifist mandos are trying to hide that fact when they say Jango isn't one. And the mandos faught, are a splinter faction of mandos that aren't death watch

[@ugiustuskeiserus8066]

Nah, Lucas and Filoni came out in interviews and said they had Almec say Jango was no longer Mandalorian because it was true. They didn't want Jango to be a Mandalorian

[@atomicdynamite1631]

So the commandos are basically Star Wars spartans. Badass.

[@germanhottoys5775]

The Clone Commandos are awesome in battlefront 2 I highly recommend them

[@goidtman1]

What is Alan’s stance on kerbals?

[@andy84denham]

I wish they had finished that game with additional story as it was a fun game back in the day

[@ugiustuskeiserus8066]

Still is fun to this day

[@lucajohnen6719]

Nah mate, a team of clone commandos wouldnt be able to take down a team of Nulls. You have to remember the 6 nulls grew up even closer then everyone else.

[@LorientAvandi]

Exactly. I can see that argument with the Alphas or normal ARCs (even then, still a bit of a stretch), but with the Nulls? That just plain shows they don't know the source material.

[@johnjunkersfeld2964]

In this house, we stan ARC Troopers

[@nathandamaren2093]

I disagree on the commando's being better than the null arc's. 4v4 the null's would win around 80% of the time.

[@sorak185]

Thank you for cleaning up the audio.

[@larryroberts3598]

Correction Isabet Reau and one other Mando had Death Watch connections.

[@Connor.SG-1Ring]

There should've been a follow-up after the first game.

[@Cryogenius333]

The Best equivocation would likely be: ARC troopers: Army Rangers or Delta Force. Republic Commando: SEAL team operators.
