Even in a galaxy far far away

Here you go 🥧

Here have some soup 🍲!!

Hit very real

Yes, of course! Any time!

I've seen plenty of vets like that. Been there, myself.

Relax boomer

@@carrillofrank07 how do you know he’s not relaxing?

You and me both, Brother.

@@account527 The "unpopular" ones. Hardly matters when you, your brothers, and your cause, are all deemed "expendable".

Would've been so cool if the Clone had recognized him

Yea really unfortunate to see those who serve comeback with little to nothing in return for their service or they comeback with some series PTSD. Real tragic for anyone who would serve and return broken in many ways

Only the dead have seen the end of war.

Was it REALLY murder? Did they premediate the killing? NO. They were activated to commit an order that they were programmed for. It was the a Killing, a Slaughter...not a murder. Dont dare call them murderers words matter lol

@@Nperez1986 I suppose you could say Papa Palpatine was the murder and the clones where his chosen weapon. With that kind of tech I'd bet that would hold up in a court room.

"Sold the lie"? And why are they discarded when you clearly know of them and could help them? As an OIF veteran, that irks me to no end.

Chip probably wore off or only had a certain lifespan.

Might be on drugs and couldn't even recognize him

There is a glint in his eye almost like he does recognize him. The video s says he is 501st so he could easily have seen Obi-Wan with Anakin on missions

I think it probably has a few different triggers of sorts. remember when Wolffe almost went ballistic in rebels upon a light saber being ignited, despite knowing the Jedi are cool, and having had some treatment of the chip, even if clearly not the full package. I think it's like it overwrites your mind, but it cannot always be doing that, it kinda needs reminders and triggers for it. Like initially during the great Jedi purge, all clones who received the order were 100% being controlled by the chip, that's why their personalities are almost completely swept away for that time, barely even bubbling up when prompted (example, the whole Jesse thing in the hangar). However after it's done it partly retreats in the clones mind, how fully and how the differences between individual clones work, idk but it does I think, and it's fully re-activated when a trigger for that clone appears, such as something directly connecting to the presence of a Jedi, not as that person, but specifically as a Jedi. so basically my theory is that the clone recognised Obi-Wan, but due to the programming being so far back in his mind, and him not recieving a trigger (like if Ben started talking about Jedi stuff and ignited his lightsaber in front of the clone) he didn't go full order 66. At that moment he saw obi wan as not a Jedi, the people who he has directives to eliminate, but as someone who fought same as him.

@@zipflik7887 wolffe’s not a good example he removed his chip before then so that’s probably more the chip imprinting something than a blip of activation

lol how is that the worst? have you ever been homeless?

@@army310 I'm pretty sure PTSD, being used as cannon fodder, and being forcibly turned into a robot is worse.

care who you call a homeless bum. With no work history they had no chance.

@@xTK421x And they were the lucky ones. Those who stayed with the Empire had far darker fates.

That’s scary

Imagine him saying it in the most normal most clone-line voice possible. Dude just saying "thankyuh general" like nothing was wrong.

Guys writing PEE paragraphs out here

My god that feels so accurate! 💔

The Clone and Droid armies got the shortest stick in the Clone Wars. Even the Jedi faired better.

they were children tossed aside by parents who no long had a use for them.

Not all of them.

They were see as tools and thrown aside as broken and/or outdated tools, treated as little more than droids made of meat, and that is the sad thing, for we know they were living being like any other person, even if they were geneticly changed, they were still people.

They are just as victims of this war as Jedi.

But you got some troopers to avoid it

Fives is my favorite of the clones and his story arch ends in such a wild way. He was so close to discovering something so critical to Palpatine's plan that it had me at the literal edge of my seat during the series. I salute you KZfaq version ARC-5555!

501rst journal?

@@an-animal-lover yes it's from the original battlefront 2 game. the journal i believe is posted youtube as well

@@markusallard2830 thank you

Kamino uprising : and this is why clones bad

​@@Skyline_NTR The Kamino Uprising is not canon anymore.

@@firelordkushroll clone army better than reg storm troopers. Solider wise. Now weapons etc not sure. Empire had the Death Star.

@@simplemanboba officially there wasnt a clone rebellion on kamino, unofficially the 501st stormtrooper division was sent out with bounty hunter boba fett to put down a rebellion led by the kaminoan's clone programmed to rebel against the empire

@@blus17 Nice reference lol

I remember one trooper in the EU that survived well after the Empire's time because he was in some kind of stasis and ended up joining up with bounty hunters. I don't recall if he ever found it but he was always searching for a cure to his accelerated aging.

@@KeishinB237 clone tropper Kix

Sorry but the Empire's failing had very little to do with the getting rid of the clones ... Had everything to do with the fear, backstabbing, glory seeking, gross incompetence and general nonsupport within the ranks themselves ... Why help a fellow officer if their downfall or death would help in upward mobility in the ranks for yourself ??? Plus all the clones still had those bio chips in their heads with all the other contingecy orders Palatine had put in them ... Wouldn't be good if someone could turn your army against you ... The Jedi found that out the hard way remember ???

Having a Clone army would be far too expensive, having a Clone based special forces would be a better idea, but a reasonably experienced bounty hunter posse would out perform that and they wouldn't require upkeep.

@@orphancrippler9526 It's funny how the galaxy's best bounty hunter was also a clone though...

Yet they barely thought ahead, and fully replaced the clones with Civilian soldiers. If I ran the empire: I would've had the special forces units entirely made up of newer Fett Clones and Clones from other excellent human fighters.

Problem is the Fett genotype was degrading according to the Kaminoans. We saw that in the Bad Batch. You notice that the clones tend to be worse and worse as the clone wars seasons go on. They were practically super soldiers in Season 1-2 then turned into cannon fodder towards the end

@@jackschuller6684 I can't seem to grasp the reason why the Kaminoans didn't just search for a new genetic template. I'm sure Cad Bane would be fine with volunteering.

@@orphancrippler9526 honestly the idea of an army of Cad Bane clones sounds awesome

In Legends there was mention of other clone lines, with the Fett clones being but one of many diverse batches. Quite why Disney canon went with the idea that there can only be Fett clones is anyone’s guess. Maybe there’s a galactic shortage of bounty hunters so lazy they have other bounty hunters do their jobs for them.

That's an interest way to look at it. Back before the Prequels came out, I was fascinated by the Clone Wars as a concept. In the books, there were only vague references and confusing accounts about what happened. Just a moment ago, I tried to verify which OIFs I had taken part in, only to find the terminology I was using doesn't match the readily available information. This makes the Empire's rise make so much more sense than it used to, both canon and legends. Makes the good writing feel so much more real, the evil so much more ominous.

@@Deridus yea, exactly man. the concepts the clone wars presents has a very Dune-esque feel to them, which gives Star Wars a lot more depth than it would have without it. and my bad if i’m misunderstanding, but when you mention OIF are you referring to Iraqi Freedom? only asking because my dad served as well and i have to give my appreciation to a veteran.

@@yocharlysurf Yup. Operation Iraqi Freedom from july of 2008 to may of 2009. Long story short, I got there late because I was a replacement and left early because President Bush and/or Obama shortened the deployments from 15 to 12 months. My tour overlapped two different phases/campaigns so I got two stars. Radio repair. I'd rather have stayed in country than ever have returned to garrison. Spent a year in Fort Drum doing nothing but playing spades, dominos, risk, and working out. If ever there was an Avatar of Boredom, it was me.

@@Deridus lmao, sounds like you managed to have some fun through it all, major respect man.

@@yocharlysurf You could say that. The most "fun" I ever had was the day I had a crash landing on Turky Day, 2008. Sounds more dramatic than it was, but it was the whole day that mattered.

The accelerated aging is part of the genetic alteration. The inhibitor chip just made them unable to disobey a specific list of orders by Palpatine, whether they wanted to or not.

Well that’s part of being a merc. You aren’t paid to ask questions, you’re paid to fight, or to train others how to fight. Mercs fighting for a just cause or for the care in their heart is very rare. Their job was to make sure the clones could fight, after that it wasn’t their concern

Except the Empire didn’t defeat them. The clones served the Empire and instated the order. Ezra despite being right about a decent amount of aspects was absolutely in the wrong about his conception of the Empire taking power.

​@kingorange7739 The Clones were tools as much as maul or dooku. They were used and tossed aside, so yeah, they lost to the Empire. The Orders implemented in their brain stripped them of all free will, made them victims as much as the ones they victimized.

That was the original Battlefront 2, and it was made by Pandemic and LucasArts, not EA.

@@dylanlewis5113 : Ahh, my mistake.

Even in the original Battlefront 2, the clones of Vader's Fist mentioned how most clones were phased out and the 501st were the last ones left. "Though the 501st itself remained pure, the rest of the Imperial Army gradually became more and more diverse. We never really got used to the new guys."

I’m not too sure about that. I think they’re army. Their kit is highly reminiscent of imperial army colonial defense force. It would make more sense that theyre army. They also wear camo like the imperial army does, and their suits aren’t hermetically sealed like imperial army kit.

did you watch bad batch? i don’t think so

@@lorealiiiii Oh, right, I forgot he was in an ep....how did I forget that???

I don't think him and Yoda knew?🤷‍♂️
