Kalani being a man of iron leader would be terrifying

Give Kalani some Cadians and he'd be unstoppable.

He's a droid, all he can do is calculate

@@derrickstorm6976you clearly don’t know how the super tactical droids work than

Indeed, like General Kalani, he’s extremely intelligent then the normal battle droids and tactical droids.

It only makes sense he survived this long. Kalani learns from his mistakes.

LMAOOO

THAT'S ALL I HEAR NOW! LMAO

General Kalani: Prequel Fans The guy who asked the question: OG Fans Rebels: Sequel Fans The Citizens: Disney

Hey this isn't a Metal Gear show.

Means

YES! Thats what makes the super tactical droids so cool

most droids in SW are played off in a joking way, but Kalani for me kind of plays into fears of merciless AI like the Terminators

Hi, thank you for that information. I'd love to see him make some type of appearance him and his female counterpart female are the few competent droids in the whole show

So Kalani is voiced by Grimlock

@@zehaxorus Yes

Tbh would be awesome if he apeared in mandalorian or smt

Voice of Captain Cutter in Halo Wars. Dude's a legend.

Doesn't help that Grievous was also made into a joke so pretty much anyone that wasn't a Sith felt incompetent

to be fair, that's kinda what Palpatine wanted lol@@hyperion3145

They aren’t considered rebels yet, this is still the Republic

​@@prestonferryHe meant the rebels of onderon 😑

Technically, they're not stupid. They just underestimate them a lot and think that they're right all the time. At least this one knows about "What ifs" and knowing if their plans have flaws.

He is a super tactical droid thats why he is smarter than the others you see in the show

@@user-on4cq2xf9f but better compared to the other super tactical droids.

Imagine him working with legends Grievous?

@@sugdolomar imagine tryna write Grievous _willing_ to work with _him..._

@@usmanya5110 I'm not so sure about that. Super Tactical Droids are created all the same but each develop their unique tactics and personality based on their experience. It is possible that more Super Tactical Droids refused to shut down their armies after order 66 but as we know, The Empire was working on searching and destroying such "rogue elements". It is mostly up to pure luck that Kalani didn't got found by the Empire before the rebels. Either way, I'm glad he is still alive. If there was another Super Tactical Droid who survived being hunted by the Empire, I would like it to be Kraken.

matches up just fine with his beautiful face.

@@MJayzStudio i know i beatuiful

Soulless

​@@Eadesgameplaywell, he objectively is soulless

The dna of the soul

“If the rebel army falls, the citizens will lose their CRINGE, and order will be restored.”

b2s might be deeper than commandos

The collaboration I didn't know I needed

And with Corey Burton AKA G1 Shockwave as Count Dooku, we got two Transformers VAs here!

It's neat he returned in star wars rebels to reprise the tactical droid general.

He also plays Odie from Garfield

@@CamCrouch04VA yep.

kalani was straight dangerous, its a shame he wasnt used more by the clone wars!

​@@MJayzStudio Kalani would've been nice assistance to the rebellion against the empire

he was awesome!

Maybe one day in Bad Batch?

@@gommodore6441 that would complete everything!

@@gommodore6441no, this would not make sense considering the time of both series

​@@derdrache0512 It could work with a timeskip.

That's a very good comparison

Fun fact: the voice actor is G1 Grimlock's!

This could have worked for bayverse Soundwave

@@sugdolomar yeah

General Kalani: superior The republic: inferior

Yeah. XD they seem like the type of guards to actually arrest droids and not destroy them.

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if those guards would even arrest droids if ya know, they didn't take them out and just threatened them with spears.

If written by people that genuinely like Star Wars and want to create a fun story with emjoyable characters, then it could help revive interest in the franchise. Bonus points if it ignores the Sequel Trilogy made by Disney.

@@tunebeat3809 yeah, i'd want it to effectively replace the sequels

Sounds like the IG-88 models were planning on doing, I like it

Dude imagine that but he also ends up working with IG-88A bc he and his ilk were planning that

Kalani slowly reactivating old remnants of the confederacy, finding derelict ships and rebuilding them, uniting droid holdouts and gaining influence on previously Separatist worlds, all as the Empire grows weaker. He takes a small portion of the galaxy and becomes another faction in the galaxy, along with the Imperial remnant and the New Republic. We can only dream I suppose.

You underestimate the power of plot armor

Actually it is at 5:33.

Probably because he knew Dooku wanted him dead. The king kept screwing up instead of letting them do their job. His original failure was the reason Kalani got sent to Onderon to begin with.

In the end, the incompetent King Rash was executed when Dooku decided it was no longer profitable to continue the war in Onderon given the rebel victories and continued support of the public in the rebels favor which is made clear at the failed execution. Other times the rebels adapted to taking out the droids better in the arc. After the gunships were taken out(at the cost of Steela), then Kalani and Dooku agreed to retreat entirely, with Rash eliminated for opposing this(he probably wanted to continue).

The only purpose he served to Dooku was as a figurehead puppet once they quelled the rebellion. He wasn't anything else, they included him in plans and he knew a lot even though he was an ineffectual leader. So when Dooku conceded that taking the planet would be more costly than its worth he had no use for the obedient figure head who would be captured by rebels and give up information.

@@noahfenech3369 And that's why Kalani killed Rash when he tried to protest Dooku's decision.

Another point I want to add is that it works in Dooku’s favor when other planets look into what happened at Onderon. With Rash dead, he could spin it into the “terrorists” killing Rash and overturning separatist rule in a violent coup to join the republic. When in reality, Dooku sent a substantial number of war machines including those droid gunships on Separatist spil to subjugate its own people. And that doesn’t look good for him

Because the separatist were never meant to win. That's why you see so many B1 droids rather than Super Battle Droids

Expensive as hell.

There were actually a good half-dozen Super Tactical Droids in the clone wars show, they're just far rarer than your average droid

Their production was limited and expensive. Also, because Sidius never intended the CIS to win

ST droids were kinda abundant but well everytime we see them they aren't as compotent as kalani.

@@usmanya5110 I think because they learn on the job and adapt. So by any chance they survive their first few battles, they are more then likely to win the next. Unfortunately they seem to always be opposed to Jedi.

Wha?

@@RandomPamtriFella Sanjay Rash, King of Onderon, who later got killed by General Kalani, was voiced by Kirk Thornton ( Gabumon/Garurumon/WereGarurumon/MetalGarurumon/Omnimon in *_Digimon Adventure_* 01 - Tri. ) who later voiced Shadow The Hedgehog in Sonic the Hedgehog games (since 2010) and in *_Sonic Boom_* cartoon TV series (2014-2017), where Asajj Ventress’ VA Nika Futterman voiced Sticks The Badger !!!

The dna of the soul

Either Greg Berger is getting older or because Kalanis voice is deteriorating

He's awesome!

@@MJayzStudio yeah he is

1) Cool Voice 2) He learnt things as they continued, showing his intelligience 3) Many of his failings were due to incompetence from the king, and the lack of knowledge of Ahsoka being around until much later (also the plot required the rebels to win.)

What the other guy said. His official return in Rebels also shown his competence to be well above his peers. They outright said he would have won if it wasn't for the droids being rusty and malfunctioning. The most important thing here is that his calculations are all tactically sound and the odds are in his favor, the opponent are simply beating those odds because "the Force is with them." You know, the default excuse whenever the writer need the good guys to win and some random coincidence just so happens to help them out of a jam inexplicably.

@@Taskmasterxyz idk I think not accounting for your biggest enemies possible showing up, like they always do, seems to be a pretty big mistake. I understand what plot and such is and that the good guys have to win ultimately, but still he just made a bunch of mistakes really. Then again the entire war was just a sham so Palpatine could rise to power so "making most of our forces actually suck as on purpose" was probably on his agenda.

@@thelandofchickens I do hear you and agree, but specifically on Onderon there was little to suggest that a Jedi would he there. They weren’t fighting clones, or the republic in general. Just insurgents rising against the new king’s rule and the Separatists. Kalani had no reason to assume Jedi would be involved.

Kalani lost because he is a good tactician in a combat engagement, but doesn't understand people. Y'know, cause he's a robot.

Gregg Berger actually voices him.

Yes, good observation! I'm sure Dooku was only interested in quick subjugation and not a protracted war that would suck CIS resources.

@@MJayzStudio Thanks you 😊 I try

How so?

Gunships aka Ka-52s?

Luhansk and Donetsk are the rebels?

@@KobyBrennero That's kinda cringe

No, because Ukraine and Russia are in direct war with eachother. Ukraine has a full fledged and capable military while the rebels don't, and they don't need to garner approval because they already do.

Do remember this is a kids show so you can't have people being gunned down all the time

I don't know, his logic was sound most of the time, he just completely failed when it came to keeping public support in his favour. Which is understandable, he isn't a mayor, hes a general.
