Why Most Star Wars Fans Actually Don't Know Much about the Battle of Kashyyyk

[@masteroftheassassins]

"When we arrived on Kashyyyk, things were just as bad as we'd feared. The droids had us outgunned, outmaneuvered, and outmanned by a five-to-one margin. What none of us had counted on was the Wookiees. We'd all heard the stories, of course, but we'd never fought next to them, never seen them rip apart a droid with their bare hands. They were magnificent. Even so it was still a suicide mission, at least it was until Master Yoda arrived. Then it became a battle; a winnable battle." "With the timely arrival of Master Yoda, the 501st were able to hold the line against the Seps on Kashyyyk. We left as heroes. Years later, we'd return as conquerors."

Also, for a armed occupation.

One time I was haggling in a market that sold rugs. It was one of the most fun bartering battles of my life, the negotiations went back and forth. Eventually I got the giant carpet but paid more than I probably should have. That’s how the battle of Kashyyyk went.

[@falloutgamer347]

Ah yes, the negotiator

I really wish we could have had just one episode of this in The Clone Wars, so that we could have seen Gree one last time.

[@nebcyt-notenoughbraincells419]

[@falloutgamer347]

I would have personally ordered one of the AT-APs to fire at the platform yoda was on and afterwards make sure hes dead. This would likely also kill chewbacca which would possibly help the empire win on endor since he wouldnt commandeer that AT-ST.

The Clone Wars has to be one of the most fleshed out conflicts in all of fiction. It’s not like most sci-fi and fantasy where it seems the whole war is wherever the main characters are. It’s spread across almost everywhere and every front has its significance and impact on the bigger picture.

[@CaptainHowzer325]

I like the Full Metal Jacket reference on the thumbnail.

[@donovanlay5379]

What about the clone attack on the jedi?

[@themanwithallthewrongopini3551]

But what about the droid attack on the wookies?!

[@michelecastellotti9172]

Well, we do have got a few materials: Clone wars shows us the intial invasion, republic commandos show us the preparations for the arrival of the republic and the movie shows us the fonal battle and aftermath. But its so much more cool to think that the wookies held both the lizards and clankas back on their own for a while before being pushed bahk

[@archangel6666]

The spelling mistakes give me anxiety

[@lerneanlion]

This just suddenly made the Battle of Umbara become a lot more important for the Separatists! If the Separatists won the Battle of Umbara, Kashyyyk might be pressured into the secession. If that happened, most of the worlds in the Mid RIm will join the Confederacy without hesitation since they took Kashyyyk's lead in politics. And for some reason, I would love this scenario more. As long as the Zyggarians are not dragged into the picture, of course.

[@NFLJarhead]

Dooku purposely lost some battles, this was so the empire would have more power over the galaxy.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Still a pity Quinlan and his friends' fates are still wholly unknown, even in Legends. One must wonder how many endeavors they, and also their children, encountered over the course of the Empire's reign to the Yuuzhan Vong War.

[@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis]

I would expect that some of his descendants wound up at Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Praxeum, possibly having spent time as bounty hunters or smugglers first.

I’d like to know how the clones treated kids … were they mean to them or did their ‘ big brother ‘ senses activate

It seems to have depended upon the individual, but more the latter than the former. Generally they would see other clones from the same template as siblings as in any other family.

[@manuelgrothe608]

6:03 and 9:15 In Tales of The Jedi and The Bad Batch seasons 2-3, Draa Nemec and Fireball helped Luminara Unduli and Quinlan Vos escape from Kashyyyk when the Republic became the Empire

[@LairdErnst]

Good information! Gree was one of my favorites bc of his tactics of using the locals to help fight with the clones and his signature attitude of being an amateur anthropologist. Kind of made him the clone equivalent of a Green Beret in a way.

I have been waiting for this one. I was wondering when you would cover this battle just like you did for the battle of coruscant and the battle of utapau.

Something I love about General Grievous is how he makes terrible decisions but they are never out of character. He is Caveman Robocop and he kills people. Was it a good idea to kill them? Sometimes, sometimes not. But Grievous has never killed somebody and left me thinking "That's so dumb, why would he do that?" It's just "That's so dumb, but that how the Grievous do."

Do you think since the Czerka Corporation had such a presence on their planet in the old republic that they knew of these secret hyperspace routes? Or was it kept secret?

[@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis]

They might have known some, but there were always new ones being discovered over time, as rich merchants would be willing to pay for exploration to save time on shipping.

Czerka is probably the reason those secret routes were kept secret.
