Well, Mace was a prick…. I can kind of understand why they did not like him. Mace had absolutely no idea how to command ground troops. It’s like being an elite special forces unit of nighttime commandos that operate at night and this guy put you out at high noon in broad daylight and expect you to do the same thing without the cover of darkness, like you’ve been trained.

[@IrishEyes1994]

Clone Wars show this as well. The Clones respected Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Won at times but hated most of the other Jedi. The Jedi often saw the Clones as disposable robots and not real people. Even Obi-Won hints at that in the opening of Revenge of the Sith during the space battle.

Mace Windu always came off to me as someone you were supposed to like, but couldn't help but dislike.

[@johnwalker1058]

Same. Maybe he was different in The Clone Wars series, but he kinda rubbed me the wrong way in Revenge of the Sith, as he came across to me as dismissive and insensitive towards Anakin's struggles with the loss of his mother and his anxieties about Padme. He also seemed to me to have a bit of a bias against Anakin in ROTS due to thinking he never should have been trained or allowed into the Jedi Order at all for that matter. He seemed to have this attitude towards Anakin that no matter what, Anakin would never be good enough or fully accepted as a true member. He just didn't seem to have hardly any respect for Anakin. And as someone who felt some relatability to Anakin and looked up to Anakin in some way, I guess I felt like I myself was being dismissed or disrespected by Windu whenever he scolded Anakin or brushed him aside. Hence, the feeling of being rubbed the wrong way. When seeing the prequels, especially ROTS in particular, I respected Windu for his impressive strength and skill, but in the back of my mind, I guess I felt like he was kind of a d*ck in terms of personality.

So the Clone Commandos were similar to units like the US Seal Team 6 or the British SAS (units trained to operate behind enemy lines), and Windu ordered them to do a WW1 type charge across an open battlefield.

I’d probably see things the same way if I were in their shoes. Palpatine’s plan was quite genius; the fate of the Order was sealed the moment they took command of the clone army.

[@DarthCrow]

Jedi as a whole had no business telling soldiers what to do. They were not generals yet. The clones should have been given over to Republic officers to command from the start and only jedi who had at least some idea of warfare be allowed to give orders, once they knew what they were doing.

[@IrishEyes1994]

To answer your question, I'd say the two issues get two different answers. Killing Jango: That I think the commandos could have gotten over. They respected more than loved Jango. As you said it was mostly other mercenaries that trained the commandos, and they viewed those mercenaries as parents more from what I remember. In addition, Jango picked the fight with Windu and even the commandos couldn't condemn Windu for not wanting to die. They'd always resent him for it on some level, but frankly it's likely Jango would have been their enemy soon after if Windu didn't kill him. As for the getting them butchered because Windu is an idiot: There isn't enough words in all the languages in both the real world and star wars universe to create the right phrases to overcome that. Commando missions in general require absolute trust from the bottom up, and Windu violated that in the worst way imaginable by sending them into infantry combat and ignoring their skills. The fact that the commandos almost certainly saw many of the other Jedi behaving in an non-militaristic manner that was getting people killed would have further alienated them. On top of this, they saw most of the people that were their brothers getting slaughtered due to incompetance. While true, most clones saw each other as brothers, the 4 man commando squads were true brothers in every sense, they lived, ate and trained together 24/7, they practically had no lives outside of that cell. Some of the cells had 3 out of 4 wiped out. Hell, this wasn't mentioned in the video, but Omega Squad was pulled together from those orphans. Omega was made up of commandos who had lost all their squadmates. No way that would be overcome. Windu would never be forgiven, and the other Jedi would have to bend over backwards to gain even a small amount. All this is without even considering the Mandalorian culture element, which can be admittingly more hit or miss. Like any group, some did have a fervent undying hate for force sensitives, others were more casual and mostly did it as a joke, and others did develop a respect for them. It varied wildly.

[@histguy101]

It's all nonsense. Geonosis was a baptism by fire for everyone. No one there had any experience except for a few individual Jedi who had faced droids before. The Jedi and clones had never worked together before and were thrown in. Judging Mace's command ability based on minute 1 of the war, and not something we see on screen but some side lore from a video game is stupid

[@anton.chigrinetc.96]

I fully agree that objectively, it was nonsense: noone in the Order was ready to command the army, and at that point, Windu was a much better fighter on the field than a field commander.​ That being said, clones were trained to fight alongside Jedi, so they were wrongfully given an assumption Jedi were prepared. Which was wrong, but Clones still believed it. As a result, when Jedi started making mistakes, some relationships went sideways. I completely resent the idea, however, that ALL of the Jedi were bad commanders.

[@IrishEyes1994]

@@anton.chigrinetc.96 Oh yeah, some were amazing commanders. Like Oppo Ranchis, I may have misspelled his name. He had battle meditation which made him a perfect commander. Aayla Secura also seemed a pretty good leader, more tactical than strategic in my opinion but you need both. Anakin seemed to adapt really well to tactical command, and Obi-wan seemed good, though I feel he should have been more strategic command because some of his tactical command was too Jedi-oriented. Overall my issue with Mace is that he showed a clear lack of wisdom. Not understanding how to command an army when you have no experience is one thing and something even the clones could have gotten over, but not realizing you don't know what you're doing or being too arrogant to admit it is a clear lack of wisdom. Wisdom isn't knowing everything, it's knowing that you don't know everything

[@charlesjermyn5001]

Sometimes, considering the treatment of subordonnates, peoples take the Sith as absolutely worst because they were tough and the Jedi as the best because they were "nice" with them but as you can see, the sole differance between the two is kind of a matter of manners: Vador executed some admirals... who were incompetent and who wouldn't have hesitate a single second to do the same to their entier fleet to save their back, while with the Jedi it was " Please, dear dear clone... go die uselessly so I can get all the merit while I was absolutely useless, after all, you can barely be considered a living being..." So, in the end of the day you are still sent to death by a superior being... the sole differance is that one of them had a nice and calm voice and say "please" x)

@@jagerdergroe8604 Because they could not have been incompetent? They are Force warriors, they have the innate ability for calculating strategy and tactics just by a virtue of slowing events down around them and being able to forsee things ten thousand steps ahead. Before Filoni came up with inhibitor chips idea (the only good idea by far he had), authours went great lengths of mental gymnastics to try "explain" the Order 66, as if Jedi were sort of a version of IRL Communist Commissars who were only good at sabotaging "ideologically incorrect" orders of Red Army commanders and sending troops to their inevitable demise (even though in fact, many of them found it more ideologically correct, if the enemy of the their revolution was destroyed by whatever means necessary and were just as eager to go fight and die with their troops...you know...like the Jedi). It's just weird and dumb people seriously believe Jedi were all bad as commanders.

[@anton.chigrinetc.96]

While what you said about Vader is true, Jedi themselves could not have been bad commanders by any stretch of logic. At least, not all of them. They were warriors trained for decades, the ability to forsee events ten steps ahead is a part of their training, even if combat was not their specialization, they are taught various disciplines, war-related included (because they are peacekeepers, which means they have to engage in various military matters as well), on such a profound level it would be completely illogical to believe the vast majority of them wouldn't fit in as generals. I will never believe all those mental gymnastics about clones being "conditioned" to obey Jedi, and Jedi being bad. For all the butchery Filoni did to the EU, his idea with inhibitor chips was the only good one.

[@basedstreamingatcozy-dot-t7126]

I miss the old mandolorian lore

[@breathofapollyon990]

Mace Windu apparently thought he was supposed to be the chosen one when he was a young jedi. When Anakin came on the scene as the real chosen one, Mace let his jealousy of Anakin overtake him and treated Anakin as such. Windu only got his council seat from stabbing his friend Dooku in the back (metaphorically). So yes, on the surface, Windu was an "honorable" jedi, but he was fueled by his own resentment all through the clone wars. How that went unnoticed within the council is beyond me, but, in my humble opinion, Mace Windu has always been a "holier-than-thou" cocky pos who the council only needed for his fighting skills as he was a skilled combatist. But that's all I'm going to give him as far as praise goes. It's because of jedi like him I was less saddened when the jedi order was humbled to its knees and brought to near extinction. Windu certainly had his karma coming if you ask me

[@yami122]

To add to what you said he also had a major flow of viewing people as only an extension of their rank showing extreme respect to those with a higher rank than himself but to any one below him in rank he would treat openly like trash in front of others and had no problem using his own high rank as a shield too protect him from being talked back to

[@breathofapollyon990]

@yami122 Exactly. I find his lack of humility disturbing

[@HelloThere734]

Have similar thoughts myself and think he got the Council seat because his style of fighting relied on somewhat touching on the darker side of the Force, not the Dark Side exactly, but close, and he would resist the temptation each time. Think that made the Council see him as someone more immune to it and put these flaws as necessary for him to use this fighting style. But that made him think he was better than others because he was being treated as better for his unique style and peers that ignored these flaws and expected him to be able to use them to see coming dangers in battle.

[@breathofapollyon990]

That's a great point, love it! The show Tales of the Jedi shows (now) cannon how Mace Windu got his council seat. He undermined Dooku just when a council seat opened up, and he knew what he was doing. All the same, I also agree that's what the council saw him as - a formidable weapon against the dark side. Because Jedi at that time used people 😂 Just watch The Clone Wars to see what they put Anakin and Ahsoka through

As Jedi, we must walk a fine line in guiding him, for the path he treads is fraught with danger."-Mace Windu These passages delve into Mace Windu's genuine concern for Anakin Skywalker's well-being and acknowledges his strength in the Force and overall skills as a jedi and as friend.

Almost 50% of commandos died in the battle of geononis, after that, their death rate dropped to a very low number, as mentioned in the republic commando novels (i forgot how low though, if anyone has it in their head please respond). Even the best spec ops soldier cant do anything if hes mowed down on an open field or shredded by bombs. They and also the normal clones, whose death rate was also shockingly high in this battle were used like droid cannon fodder. If they were led by actual military commanders, geonosis could have been the first and last battle of this war.

[@Gor85]

This is interesting. They were even more elite than 501. Which says a lot. I thought 501 was the best. I understand why Clone Commandos hated Windu. Windu was a fool for doing this.

[@davidgiles4681]

This is also the reason many repulbilc naval officers quickly turned to the empire and thus very much and happily hunted down jedi. Jedi did not possess the military knowledge and training the mil had. Thus, the mil saw the Jedis as dangerous (in that the jedi - lacking any tactical training - did unecessarily cause the deaths of very valuable mil assets (men and machines). Only through pure numerical superiority did the gAR win.

This video is very misleading any commander who did not know the skills and training of your troops would have done the same.

Most people who do not first think in ways of manipulation with the sole purpose of hurting others so they can ignore their own pain do not think hey I can I be an ahole because their internal self is actually afraid and most constantly externalize their fear.

Mace might be a hell of a fighter, but he's also one of the most hardline, fanatical jedi in the order who is downright unpleasant to those who don't toe his line or fit into his idea of how things should be. He alienated Dooku and later Anakin, treated the clones rather badly, preached the jedi way which he then instantly went against by trying to off Sidious (Okay, that case was kinda understandable) and he just seems rather unpleasant to be around. He is a downright badass though, but not to sort of guy you'd want to have a beer with.

What do you mean Mace had it coming? He may have flawed but has intentions. Mace risked his life serval times and helped Cham and his freedom fighters liberate Ryloth or how he prevented the Zillo Beast from being killed off or how during the battle Anaxes when Admiral Trench had a bomb that would destroy the planet he had everyone evacuated and was willing to guess the last digit to deactivate the bomb which would have kiled him. I agree that Mace Windu had his flaws with him being arrogant which Dooku points out during the non canon clone wars duling game and not having an backup plan when they found out count dooku was responsible for the creation of the droid army and selling out Ahsoka for political convince during her trial but in end Mace Windu was hero who was willing to give his life if the situation called for it and isnt as bad as most of the fandom making him out to be.

The difference difference between the Sith and the Jedi is the Jedi eyes don’t glow yellow. I watched a “what if”, where Anakin didn’t kill count Dooku, but instead brought him back to stand trial and as the invisible hand crashed into the landing pad and took out the tower, and Kenobi says “another happy landing”.. Dooku comments that the Jedi shouldn’t be quite so cavalier about all of the innocent lives They just murdered by crashing into them with a starship. The Jedi could sacrifice entire planets for “the greater good” without batting and I because they were at their core sociopaths with no emotional attachment to anything or anyone

Think about a medieval monk … generally good people, but if you attack their monastery, they’re probably gonna kick your ass. The Jedi approach would be to kick out anyone who attacked the Viking invaders in anger… to see them as a potential threat and other them because they have emotions and use those emotions in battle. The Sith would probably just be a whole bunch of Vikings unnecessarily burning and pillaging simply for the fun.

@@Matt-yg8ub honestly the Jedi and Sith both made a mistake by cutting themselves off from at least part of the source of their power. Jedi trained themselves to be sociopaths. As much as they accused the sith of only thinking of themselves the Jedi did the same by cutting themselves off from attachment. And the sith who claimed passion was their strength focused entirely on the passions of anger fear and hate. Ignoring love, pity, etc. both teachings were incomplete in themselves.
