Yeah but at that point he was one of their most decorated soldiers as well as known throughout the entire army as an example of a good commander. Reprimanding him for anything short of ignoring orders would bring down troop morale emmensily

@@SpectralKnight and probably be career suicide. If you became known as the officer who Reprimanded Captain Rex, for his armour that was likely as recognisable as he was. There isn't a soldier or officer in the Republic that would let you live that down.

Very nice. Now lets see Paul Allen's clone armor

I don't know how. Phase II is stronger. Eck is wrong here. Every source says that Phase II armor plates were stronger and lighter than the Phase I armor plates. Phase II was also had more advanced armor systems and was more modular. Rex is literally just nostalgic, and kept the pieces that he likes better.

@@jmmproductions6741 the chest plate in p1 was actually stronger than p2, maybe the visor/range thingy was actually better in the phase 1 helmet which could be why in universe.over all it really depends how the armour is setup. maybe rex wanted the mando esc design rather than phase 2

@@jmmproductions6741 That might be true when speaking of the entire armor, but the chest piece (the thing he included) was notably thicker than Phase 2 armor.

@@lonewolf3109 That's not even true. It says that nowhere. I have no idea where you got that information. The chestpiece on the PII is stronger. All the pieces on the PII is stronger and lighter.

@@AnonD38 That's not even true. It says that nowhere. I have no idea where you got that information. Even if the chest piece on the PI is thicker, it's still weaker. All the pieces on the PII is stronger and lighter. That's what the information we have says.

The phase 2 armor was also supposed to be more comfortable though. There’s lots of talk about phase 1 just straight up sucking to sit in. Phase 2 also opened up far more specialization.

Phase 2 had better environmental protection and endurance though. This was necessary due to the war expanding further out than originally expected and clones facing far more hostile and varied ecosystems.

No need for protection if you kill first 😂

@@alexfranco6653 But your just not just fighting one enemy and you can’t always kill first.

Tbf their tools are more advanced than ours

Very likely, you could tell the clones took on alot of Ahsoka's and Anakin's attributes like self sufficiency, engineering heads and that massive amount of respect for others. Just look at their helmets at the end of Clone Wars, they're painted to look like Ahsoka, and they still called her Commander.

That makes a ton of sense, especially since Anakin loves tinkering with things. If Rex let him know that be wanted to really trick out his armor, Anakin would have given him tools others clones wouldn't even have access to.

@@carlycrays2831 I‘m pretty sure as a Commander he would have had access to any tool he needed, but I could see Anakin giving him tips on which tools would be the best for his modifications.

@@carlycrays2831 probably how he welded the armour too

@@AnonD38 he was the commander of the 501st dude. stayed a captain coz it sounds better lol

Same. At fist I thought it was dirt and then I realized they were weld lines but I could never understand why other than it looked visually distinct.

@@Call-Me-_-Shadow lol

If you’re just gonna look at the design then Waxer would also be very unique 😢

Honestly he’s got the best armor which is fitting for him being the best clone

I was about to comment this!!!

From a design standpoint, it also allows Rex to maintain a similar look for longer, which makes him far easier to identify.

But Lukes armour in that scene is actually some Phase3-armour, the stormtroopers armour...

There's an in-lore explanation for that: Stormtrooper armor is actually very advanced, incorporating a wide variety of technologies, including aim assist, thermal imaging (I am not entirely certain on this one, I know it has some form of visual assistance for seeing through smoke), adaptable lens to mitigate blaster-fire flashes etc. The reason Luke couldn't see was because the helmet only operated alongside the rest of the suit *and* the original wearer. All of those technologies supposedly worked only if the Stormtrooper who got issued the suit was wearing it.

@@Azachor seems quite possible. Clone armour wouldnt care if (for example) Jesse or Tup wears a helmet, given the fact that they are having literally the same body, but stormtrooper, who are just normal people would need the armour specialised for them

Couldn't he also. Like, legit not see in it or something I've heard that before dont know if it was true or not.

@@jacktheripper7735 It is definitely possible because stormtrooper helmets use two eyes instead of a visor, this is similar to say a pair of binoculars. Their great for focussing on one point in the distance however you lose the majority of your environmental awareness. Rex had a similar problem in Rebels where he complained about the low visibility of the helmet before throwing it at a trooper and showing immediate improvement of his aim. It's probably a combination of this fact and the in universe explaination. Afterall if you design a helmet that almost entirely relies on technology to see and assist the wearer with aiming then there would be little need for a full on visor and considering the visor it self would be a weak spot as well, it wasn't added.

There’s always the offbrand ones

@@jackb.2245 It isn’t the same. Lego is better

I was wondering the same thing lol

Hey I got good news for you

@@AdamAkmalHizam dw, I knew a while ago after checking in with Lego Star Wars this year.

Wolfe only customized his helmet. Albeit, he customized A LOT, but only the helmet.

Wolffe had a BARC trooper helmet. It wasn’t modified beyond a rangefinder and his markings

Makes no sense considering the new visor has more room to see

You're mixing stormtroopers with clone troopers

Except that their aim isn't bad. They act as if they wanna kill Han and Luke but they're ordered not to in order to find the rebel base where they fly to afterwards. Obi Wan even said that the attack on the Jawas could only be done by stormtroopers because no one else has that much precision. It also doesn't make sense why they would choose armor that's worse than the ones the clones had

@@hijo1998 also the only reason luke can't see is because the helmet doesn't fit him, it's not made for him unlike the person who was originally wearing it

@@gigaballsv1nce910 I‘m pretty sure the Phase 1 visor allows for a better FoV as well…it’s bigger than the Phase 2 visor

Some didn't watch or forgot so probably as a token of appreciation for the reminder

theres a third, Commander Blackout in TCW hes on the stealth ship with Anakin when they fight Trench

@@zc16_ Yeah, He does, Weird how it never states why Rex and Blackout have Jaig Eyes, hopefully it gets revealed soon

@@ravxnt hopefully it does, because it’s a high honor even amongst Mandalorians.

Doesn’t the other Special Ops Commander we’ve seen, Jet, have Jaig eyes too? EDIT: Just googled it. Nope, I was wrong.

Faie and Keller had normal armor though. Keller just wore a cape.

Jail eyes are a mandalorian mark that a clan leader gives to a person as a mark of honor or a particular act of bravery

​@@thewaffler3216 i think he was talking about the welding line on the helmet

They're not actually. The Phase II armor allows more freedom of movement and comfort, so plates are shaped differently around certain areas (notably the crotch and joints). Changes a very subtle, but you can notice a couple areas which were tight or cumbersome. The wrist commlink is also on the right arm.

they are SpecOps and genetically modified, they don’t count

@@AnonD38spec ops has the weirdest military armor, still the same

Hey General

@@Dav0711 hello there

Not to mention how incredibly superstitious soldiers can be. I'd imagine it would be a "this armor has saved my ass multiple times, so changing it would be bad luck" kind of thing. Just like how Marines DON'T EAT THE CHARMS!

Boba has regular Mandalorian Armor with slight modifications

Yeah but he was talking about the clones that fought in the republic's armies

yeah but you really can't compare him to a clone 1 he is a 1 to 1 copy of Jango clones are not 2 he never used clone armor or even had his or set

@@flipperman182 So- how much do you know about cloning-? Clearly you can identify plot armor… - The armor of a clone is the armor of a clone… This is different than the mass production of armor utilized by clones… … You seem to be sold on the head cannon Boba needs to exercise his individuality… forgetting the darker side of him hating being a clone…

@@gentlerain8537 plot armor doesn't exist

Everyone in that squad likely had their gear retooled & improved regularly. They were all experimental units, and it probably took some tinkering before both their gear matched their perks, and they meshed with eachother.

yeah, it’s one of these „you see it, but you only realize it’s there if you’re aware of it“ things

pretty sure that’s the actual name

The phase 2 visor is even worse though. Also, he probably just got used to it and didn’t want to change it up.
