@David De Los Santos i think they are apart of 87th sentinel corps, but thats just my head canon i mean think about it- we havent seen the jedi general of the 87th, and they specialize in defending contested worlds. what was keeli doing? defending a contested world. their color schemes are the same but the designs are different so it could be like a 212th and 7th situation where keelis group was a subdivision

@@WasItSky that's a pretty cool head canon, I know adopt it as part of my own.

No Lego version :(

@@WasItSky honestly I really wish the lore wouldnt give clone units such weirdly specialized purposes. Technically, in an army like the republics, all units should be capable and well trained in the defense of contested worlds. More so its unnecessary. The lore likes to over explain these weird little things we you can easily just say they're an elite unit that marked their armor. Like, no army, especially one as big as the clone army and as spread out, should just have one unit dedicated to laying siege or assaults etc.

@@whispofwords2590 well the Courscant Guard/Shock Troopers. Were not experienced in open combat, hence why they were not as effective, besides Thorne, as say the 501st who saw the most combat out of all the Legions...meanwhile Kamino Security was probably the weakest group, considering after the siege what did they do? Hence why Fives made them look like a joke, being an Arc Trooper aside. They were not experienced like the combat units, however the Courscant Guard/Shock Troopers were better at guerilla fights. Due to being prison guards, local guards, Senate guards. A LOT of crime happens on Courscant especially the lower levels. So while they aren't better than the 501st, 212th etc. against Droids, they do have better adaptability tactics in close quarters. Where the other Legions were mostly on open fields or even in cities fighting Droids, not living beings who are more unpredictable.

Being the last to die I'd say

i mean IRL if youve got right kind of officer with the right stuff, youll follow them to hell.

@@chromaticturtle8657 well, but dieing is still really unpleasant.

@@labinot1363 still that’s what happens to a lot of soldiers in star wars and real life they die hoping that their sacrifices make a difference. It’s pretty much why I love learning about stuff like this in history you know.

@@labinot1363 *Citation needed*

Bro his name was literally Imma gun die 😂

bro same i couldn’t watch the episode for years 😂

But at least they died side by side, fighting to the last.

I don’t know what I feel but it’s not sadness for what happened…I’m glad they fought for something they believed in and fought to the end in general

I agree. We should have at least a couple more arcs focused on the clones.

The opening battle of the right flank falling was so chaotic and hectic. agreed, more of that would’ve been great, I think Umbara was the closest we got to the same level of carnage

It's good when the opposing fraction actually wins and are not just comic relief.

Umbara was a good display of battlefield carnage. Despite fighting a rather unconventional enemy on alien terrain

@@theleapingbass2137 you forgot the landing of the 212th on Geonosis

"Now that's soldierin'"

Well, good soldiers follows orders

Damn, the sigh. Such a subtle detail, he knew it was a suicide mission.

Makes me wonder - what was standard clones response in situation like this? Did they have some kind of survival instnct? They were not able to disobey order or choose mutiny but that does not change the fact that they could hate their jedi/general.

@@Trazyn_the_Infinite_40K CHOSEN MEN! (Hmmmm.... Sharpe's crew as Antarian Rangers? That'd be a cool x-over...) As to Mariusz' question - to be honest, probably not that different from any other unit that has to play rearguard. No one likes that role because even if the plan is for you to evacuate after, it's one of the most difficult things to do on the battlefield. Some clones would do it in a heartbeat to protect people, others would see it as a waste of military assets for civilian baggage. That said, the fact that Ima-gun-di is standing with them to the end would likely go a long way - it's easy to be bitter about someone leaving you on a suicide mission while they escape. It's a lot harder when they're not only staying behind but are also fully aware of what it means and aren't looking for any glory in it, just doing what they think is right. Going by how his men react, it looks like Keeli and his men more or less bought into the idea of buying the refugees time - plus, if they're going down one way or another, may as well go down swinging.

While they were raised and indoctrinated to believe that their lives were expendable, and that every single one of them was an acceptable loss if it meant victory for the Republic, that doesn't make their courage any less real. Being taught your life is worth less than everyone else's and still giving it everything you've got to make your last moments matter, takes extraordinary strength. And this was the cruel test that every Clone in the Grand Army of the Republic had to face every time they deployed.

​@@Lazarultos "indoctrinated to believe their lives were expendable" Not to me

I was literally thinking the same thing, now that I’m older I realize that they all knew it was a suicide plan but they still went along with it with no question

When the republic turned into the empire and replaced the clones it was by then they had lost or were going to lose

A pragmatist(me) would call this them accepting there date and marching fighting to the last gasp

They somewhat did get appreciation in bad batch. Cham was probably referring to them when he talked about how the clones put their lives on the line for ryloth

Makes sense. He still spoke fondly of the Jedi and their troops during Rebels.

huh i wonder if this part had any effect on howzers speach on the bad batch?

@@pizzajona That might probably be more referencing Ponds and the episode Liberty on Ryloth, but I’m sure they also meant this.

You think so?

Agreed

If keeli could chose he'd rather it end here than for him to follow the order and be a part of the empire, the chip tightens the grip around their neck and makes them mindless drones and that they were slaves to begin with. Slick saw it from the start

@@justadood3679 Slick is the real deal, I kinda wish he survived and become an antihero of sorts, and bad batch could break him out

I agree.

To be fair, it was The Empire that betrayed and the Empire was very open about being a completely different government than the republic

@@michaelbaker5501 To most people in the Galaxy the Empire was the Republic just under a different name. The Rebel Alliance sought to restore the Republic as it was before the Clone Wars.

Wookies: I fell you bro.

The empire also betrayed the brave clones who sacrificed themselves to save the Twileks

Yea millions were just pawns on a chessboard, all manipulated by Palpatine.

Ong

@@markgeorge2200 thas a dam big chessboard.

yeah after Commander Howzers speech that shit is heartbreaking

What happened in the bad batch?

The droids are mindless, but for me at least, I feel empathy for some because they're like "No Please!" and they die, but the kind droids can also kill so they're dangerous.

i do think the intention of the droid ary from a story stand point is the lack of an opinion to be formed about them. its hard to like ot hate them since they arent really alive. They are literally just a throw away bad guy army which is the whole point of the separatist is to be a fake enemy.

@@tomnookii kind of reminds me how the terminator doesn't actually hate Sarah Connor and there's no malice or sadism, it's simply programmed to eliminate it's target quickly and efficiently as possible

I just hate clankers

They are one of my favorites to. Their last stand is one of my favorites.

What are they called

They are called the Outer Rim Garrison

Look up infinite wars fanfiction. You'll get to see that legion fight more in the clone wars.

Their called Keeli company

Well, ge is a Jedi master for a reason...

ive never heard it said better than that

Bs

Shows how falwed and dogmatic the Jedi have become to this point. He yelled "For the republic" and not anything about the force which the Jedi should be serving. Bariss and any defecting Jedi hit it right on the head.

​@@Jakezillagfwwhat about the twileks he also screamed. He defended the poor civilians. He also screamed "for the republic", because of his clones. He did mire for the force, than you give him credit here.

That sigh …. :(

I read somewhere that they named him that on purpose

They did it on purpose … they did captain keeli the same way Keeli= Kill me or something like that

Jedi General ‘Im gonna die’ and Captain ‘kill me’

The Admiral in the beginning of the episode that was instantly destroyed was named Admiral Dao, which can be rearranged to the acronym DOA which stands for Dead on Arrival. Dave went real dark for this particular Jedi and the men that served him.

Yeah, that was on purpose

3:27 that was also clean af

just goes to show how elite clones actually are

I know this is a year old, but, honestly? I am glad he and Master Di died. Hear me out. This was more of a heroic return to the Force than the alternative, where Keeli executes Order 66, and kills him, and then he and his clone troopers have to live through their obsolescence and the Clone Rebellions.

“Than, let’s make the end memorable!” -Jedi Master Ima-Gun Di

“This is Republic blockade runner Oh-Niner-Niner. We have broken through!” - Transport 099

Ponds was in two/three episodes tho not one

@@user-to7gr2bk9v he was more of an orange-red

Thorns too

@@user-to7gr2bk9v he was also the clone commander in attack of the clones

the shock troopers escorting yoda all survived.

the lightsaber swing at 3:46 tho

I heard that too

Me too

@Damiano Petruccelli Only on PC

Dawg I was thinking the same damn thing

There’s hella characters they could add if they actually cared

NoOoOoO bUt We GoT BB8 and BB9E (because that's what everyone was asking for...?)

I could not agree more

And then there was Fives..

Anybody who died before order 66 were lucky

Indeed they fought to their last breaths not for the Republic but for the people of Ryloth.

They know that was a suicide mission, also they didnt eat for a few days, its really sad :c

yeah but they knew that this was part of being a soldier

@@itsme7446 why couldn’t they just retreat and live to fight another day

@@odstsoldier6252 would've endangered the twi leks and allow the droid army to be upon them

@@odstsoldier6252 because their mission was to distract the droids so the twileks could escape. Theiy only had one gunship which wasn’t enough and if the escaped alongside the twileks the droids would’ve hunted them down

Ya he was a bit of a sweat. Dude probably gained an entire level at least, tryhards like him ruin this game smh

I mean, Umbara Arc wasn't just battle focused, but it did focus a lot on it

I don’t know but I think he replaced Captain Keeli after he died.

He's with a different battalion that replaced keeli's most likely

@@StormRaider14 Most likely came after the 212th and Windu liberated Ryloth

This episode is showing how Ryloth was conquered by the separatists. When then see if you watch things chronological order the republic liberate ryloth under obiwan and mace windu. What happens after that is where Howzer comes in.

Howzer was placed after the 212 liberated them , the 212 is a freedom fighting force not occupation

The closest you will get are arma 3 mods

Agreed

At least Jar Jar was actually useful for once. He was very level-headed and focused in this episode.

Hera was already alive by that point, she seems to be a teenager during Bad Batch, which happens only 2-3 years after this

@@sanjaysivakumar9575 wrote this before bad batch came out

They lived.

They just drove the gunship into position, they got out after they put it there. Most likely they either died in the battle later or lived to an unknown point in the clone wars or imperial age.

probably the only troopers to survive, maybe executed by the droids once found or maybe picked up blasters and joined their brothers

Possibly they were the lucky ones (or unlucky, depending on how they feel about leaving their brother) that went with the twileks and died later during the resistance fighting, or they grabbed their guns and went to support Captain Keeli and Ima-Gun Di.

2:02 it's all hands on deck for the final battle so they probably perished along side their comrades on the other flank

Woah, never looked it that way 😬

I think the clones were far enough

He most likely regrouped with the others and participated in the final stand.

Yeah after the clone wars ended the 1st time I rewatched some of my favorite episodes and realized how stupid some the tatics were. 1st) Echo running to a ship where heavy guns were firing at it. 2nd) This scene and 3rd) Trading Anakin for Grievous.

1: you're forgetting they didn't have many explosives, they needed enough to block the entrance completely. 2: the separatists had control of the planet, it was hard enough getting food in much less an evacuation with a single gunship. 3: they didn't have enough troops or supplies to take on the entire droid army even with an ambush. 4: the tanks wouldn't need to turn around, they had enough battle droids. Let me remind you, the goal was not to take down the entire droid army. They needed the ship's fuel to make the explosions big enough. With their limited amount of supplies and clones, they put a great amount of distance between the Twi Leks and the droids. They took out the closest entrance and made them take the long way around, then held them off as long as they could. You still have much to learn, young Padawan.

@@cameo8996 what he probably meant was have the remaining clones do guerilla warfare and plant explosive where the droids would have to go and hide them well and blow em up killing more than blocking a passageway and 2 droids and probably having a higher survival rate

@@skybot7091 a good plan, however considering how little explosives they had plus the goal being not to defeat as many as possible, but rather to extend the battle as long as they could, I will have to agree with the Jedi on this one. Sure, they could have taken out a bunch more droids, but when out of explosives they would have been sitting ducks and the battle would have been over quickly. Instead they made the droids take a longer route while being sure to only have to fight from one front.

Look at the tanks in the back. Even if they did that they’re still heavily outgunned

Jap and to those who think Jedi can just use the force, they can t, they must focus. Di is a hefty man and droids could hit him easier.

I'm kinda jealous tho :< i never watched clone wars when it was on cartoon network

@fivesoverse my family sporadically got cable, so I knew about the clone wars, but was unable to watch it in order until it released on Netflix not long after I saw this episode
