They weren't soldiers. They were cops.

When you realise that The Gungans were their only defense

Naboo: *a peaceful world where art is valued over violence* The separatists: it’s free real estate

Geetslys: sponsored by Raid. Me: It’s treason then.

The Naboo military is as bad as Raid: Shadow Legends.

To be fair, pacifism has come back to bite basically the whole Star Wars Galaxy at some point.

The ancient romans said: "if you want peace, prepare for war". Naboo is my favourite planet of the Star Wars universe.

Well, they held off the Clones long enough for Grogu to escape at least.

What the Naboo should have done is formed a *combined military with the Gungans…* it would have been far more effective and they could have enlarged it and made it more professional _without the risk of making their former foes nervous._ It would in fact cement ties between both societies, making the risk of the military being turned on either one very difficult. As well such a force would be reasonably powerful, with complementary abilities. The Gungans shield technology was amazing, especially in ground combat - it just lacked in offensive capabilities relying as it did on mediaeval style launchers for their plasma balls. Equip a combined force with Gungans holding shields while Naboos fire away with blasters and both using projectile launchers for the plasma balls (imagine a repeating grenade launcher…) and that's a nasty ground force. And the plasma balls make great warheads for ground vehicles. As well, their space force can do the heavy bombing of enemy forces… because… The irony is the N1 was a superb Snubfighter for the pre Clone Wars era. It was *versatile* having Lasercannons, proton torpedo launchers (with unguided torpedoes, but that can be swapped out easily), shields, high speed (slightly faster than a Yarvin era X-Wing and with the same class 1 hyperdrive) and a astromech. It was almost a proto X-Wing in capabilities in an time where most snubfighters were sublight only and shields and launchers were options. [It would have made a excellent Jedi craft for missions, being able to support itself without external units]. And with its hyperdrive it could carry the fight to the enemy (even having off world bases for suprise counterattacks - but see below 🌊). If they had gone for economy of scale and mass produced it, as well as having them placed in fortified bunkers, Naboo would have been a tough nut to crack. They could have hangers underwater near Gungan facilities… suddenly squadrons just fly out of the ocean and catch off guard any attacker. And they did export the N1 to some customers (but only as a Boutique craft)… a bit of aggressive marketing to buyers in the Outer Rim and then they can start pumping out large inventory for themselves. Naboo could have taken a leaf out of the Scandinavian military school and had hidden bases all over, compulsory service for a while, and a core of professional solders. They do have a slightly Scandinavian feel to their society, they could have incorporated such a military attitude without changing their culture to much.

Q: Why the Naboo Guard were useless? A: The Naboo Guard is useless because they got obliterated by the Separatists in Star Wars Battlefront.

Give them sand and they’ll conquer the galaxy in a week.

Even the Gungans captured Grevious and the Naboo Guards can barely handle droids that need a Donut Router to work.

Proud Mandalorians upon hearing that Mandalore is going Passive like Naboo: *This Is The Way Intensifies*

Honestly I think Padme and Satine need to hear Perfect Cell’s speech about pacifism

Ironically for a non-aggressive planet and security force, Naboo really shined in space combat and their starfighters. I would argue that the X-wing is the only fighter we see that really competes, and it still has a bigger silhouette than the N-1. Even with all its functionality, the N-1 was still the most gorgeous fighter in Star Wars.

Why is it that most blasters have scopes on them, even the DC 15 blaster rifle but NO ONE ever uses them. Hell, even the First Order never used their scopes and THEY were smart enough to put a rear gunner in some of their TIEs

First you bashed the senate guard Then you bashed the Naboo guard The next guard you should bash should be the new mandalorian guard from the clone wars. From how frustratingly susceptible they were to corruption to how the shadow collective wiped the floor with them.

My understanding of the RNSF is that it was really supposed to be more of a police type of force, not raised for any sort of combat that was faced in The Battle of Naboo

Their fighters were gorgeous though.

Raid Shadow Legends has converted you to the dark side. Pay your bills, yes. But don't lose your dignity

Peasant:"I'd like to join up" RNSF Officer: "Good stuff lad lad, here's your signup papers" Peasant: "And how much do I get paid?" RNSF Officer: "Well son, you'll be paid handsomely in Honor, Glory and the Appreciation of th" Peasant: "aaaaaaaaaandI'mout"

The RNSF is to Star Wars what the italians were to WW2.

Honestly this is 100% true when I first watched The Phantom Menace I just constantly kept wondering why are these dudes so useless and all they where doing was just running around and I was trying to think where these 10 characters even needed.

Naboo's military was more like the LAPD if they had speeders and starships.

The N-1 is up there as my favorite starfighter of its era, along with the ARC-170. As for the Imperial occupation, let's be honest, even if Naboo aggressively militarized in the 13 odd years between the Battle of Naboo and rise of the Empire, can you really expect them to mount an effective defiance against the Empire (whose leader was once their senator)?

They were nabooan

As individuals the soldiers seem to have fought well and they had great Star fighters, but they had poor leadership and there was not close to enough of them.

Geetsly's: And now, a small amount of time for our sponsor, raid shadow legends. Me: You were the chosen one!

Thanks for reminding me about how Naboo narrowly avoided capture due to a kid unintentionally destroying the control ship like a sitcom pratfall sequence.

I'll take one and say the Phantom menace is a really good movie. It was just some terrible execution that hurt it. Hiring another actor to play young Ani who was much older (around Padma's age) and changing Jar Jar's character to be more of a warrior rather than a clumsy comedic relief would have made all the difference in the movie and turn it from a 4-5 out of 10 to an 8 out of 10.

Congratulations humanity, if a galactic republic like that is ever possible earth would have the strongest planet defence force in the galaxy

Gee, Naboo is useless? That is obvious. Look at their yellow colored fleet and Gunguns. They're basically a joke.

“Cartoonish looking games” Let me have my hentia games

I don’t know, i also thought groups like the queens guard on mandalore were also kind if garbage. It seemed like most of the time, they were getting taken out, though in their case it probably makes more sense since they had to deal with people like death watch.

Raid Shadow Legends: No I am your father. Geetsly's: no!!!!!

Raid Shadow Legends is kinda stupid.

It actually was my favorite star wars film until rogue one came out. Cant forget how excited i was that i got to experience a trilogy for the first time. I envied those who got to experience the original star wars in theaters the first time.

The Naboo remind me of some countries in Europe that went pacifist and completly neglected the military because they though war is a thing of the past and now they have to rebuild.

You should do more military analysis on Star wars factions

Geetslys: so todays sponsor is Raid Shadow legends Me: don't do it Anakin!

Geetsly’s: Naboo’s army was a huge pile of bantha fodder Also Geetsly’s: rAiD sHaDoW LEgEnDs

This is guy is masquerading as just another Star Wars KZfaqr but underneath he's really quite the savage: 2:29 Also getting sponsored by Raid and liking all the comments making fun of them under the video lmao Edit: "the best ships the Naboo ever wielded were made by the fried Calamari (7:14)"

Only *kinda* useless?

I really like how they were a small force who managed to storm the palace and capture Viceroy.

I would have really liked if in canon or legends, the Naboo were pacifists because the Gungans were neutral, as in building their culture into Switzerland, ie make them so difficult to defeat, that no one would try.

I think you made a really good point about questioning why the Naboo did not upgrade their military post trade federation occupation but I think the reason why the Naboo did not maintain a strong army was its significance compared to the rest of the Galaxy. Naboo had a much smaller population compared to other planets in the galaxy and was not a political or economic stronghold like some planets in the core or colonies region. There were no main hyperspace lanes and trade routes that passed the Naboo for them to protect unlike Corellia that maintained their own army to protect the large hyperspace and trade routes they controlled . The Naboo was not interested in expansion or increasing their influence over the Galaxy and was content with their place in the Galaxy hence there were no reasons for them to increase their military power. Naboo can be compared to some of the countries we see in our World today. Their military and economic situation reminds me of some of the Baltic states in Europe that are experiencing economic growth but have relatively low populations and do not have the military resources to defend themselves from larger threats and heavily rely on their NATO allies for military support. This is what the Naboo did, they were prosperous and relied to much on their membership in a collective power to protect them. Also even with their discovery of Plasma they never expected the Trade Federation to invade since they thought they were under the protection of Republic law. The Trade Federation was actually considering to blockade another planet but with the influence of Sidious Naboo was chosen instead.

Now do Wookies, one of the most formidable species as individuals, but *hopeless as a society.* Extremely long lived so they can become very skilled, damn strong, smart, able to survive comfortably in environments that would make a human miserable. They even had claws they refused to use… And a special caste that could sense new Hyperspace routes. The Wookies could have easily settled hidden planets, and even moved up the ladder in interstellar companies just by seniority. Wookies could have dominated freight, with hidden paths and being built in forklifts. Yet they lived next to several slave trading species that targeted them (because they were so useful) and yet didn't fortify. To give you an idea of how formidable Wookies could be, imagine if they were the template for the Clone army - with a different smaller species for Snubfighter pilots of course… [Could Ewoks be good pilots if raised in a technological society? If not there are other candidates]. *A Wookie Clone trooper…* . Now that is scary.

What about Rhys Dallows and Gavyn Sykes RSF resistance groups?

Well, Naboo was a peaceful world, so what do you expect?

Their brave and unrelenting actions in Ep. I: Battle for Naboo, Starfighter, Galactic Battlegrounds, and even The Clone Wars 2008 would beg to differ

The veterans of the battle of Naboo see this and get outraged...

FINALLY pictures from stare wars galactic battlegrounds I've been waiting to see that for years! 6:45

4:22 LOOK AT OBI WANS FACE i cant breath. the longer i look the funnier it gets.

Looks like we judged them too harshly

I haven’t watched this channel in a while but why does it sound like this dude’s voice has dropped by about 1000000000x levels

I like Naboos Royal Guard on the grounds of aesthetics But I REALLY hate that we don't see them in action in either the movies or shows. I get why as you explained I may just want to see the capital Theeds as a battle ground but it always bugs how easily they just seem to give up or defeated.

Like say an old adage "if you want peace, prepare yourself for war"

Regardless of their usefulness, you got to admit the S5 was a cool looking blaster!

New drinking game. Take a shot every time he says "32bby blockade and occupation"

The Naboo Guard looks a lot more like a police force than a Military

Pls do a video on “if Rex got through to Jesse” it would be awesome!

I mean to be fair their called naboo "guards" not naboo soldiers, they're more like our police, I bet their trained in de escalation and keeping the peace more then all out warfare.

1:05 Dude that artwork’s actually from Total War: Warhammer.

Constantly making the videos answering the same things I too wonder, no need to even ask 😁

You know someone lost their spine when they advertise raid

The Naboo, culture of pacifism... curses the galaxy with the existence of Palpatine

I’d rather him sponsored by IRS than raid shadow legends

Those People are not even force sensitive so they are kinda' useless 😂

How could you forget Rhys Dallows, who chased a mercenary leader into the port hangar of the control ship, shot him down, and disabled the Lucrehulk's interior shields, allowing kid Anakin to destroy its power core?

TL;DR "You may have a Brain, but I have a gun!"

God, until I actually noticed the aliens, I almost thought the very first image was a James Gurney painting and got confused for a moment.

This aged like milk

I didn't see the naboo guard as a military, they were more like a metropolitan police force

rip lego naboo guards rip moustache trooper rip lego bespin guard

Basically, the Royal Naboo Security Forces had potential if they would’ve been competently-trained professional soldiers instead of part-timers and volunteers

To be fair, they were pretty much a police force, or like the Coast Guard at best...

The forces may have sucked, but everyone loves the N-1 Starfighter. Just look at them! They're beautiful. The speeder thing thy used in the infiltration was cool, too. That thing took out an AAT in one shot! Where were you in BF2?

6:30-6:37 This is a qoute and is directly from the movie release visual encyclopedia of star wars episode 1 the phantom menace, its an image caption of a speeder a different one than this.

So your saying, while their non gun low military stance made things pretty, it allowed corruption and large armies to just walk in and do what they want.

"If you want peace, be ready for war." You dont have be able to beat your opposition however. You have to make yourself not worth it to attack. Be that cause youre more powerfull,or the cost would be to high compaired to what the attacker would gain. Example: Switzerland during ww2.

I never thought that they were supposed ro be anything other than a police and anti piracy force. Its like saying that the police is useless because they couldn't stave off an invasion by themselves. And during the clone wars they let the grand army of the republic do its job. If they didn't have the clones its fair to say they would have beefed up. Also remember that in the original battlefront 2 they said they were making their force stronger and stronger.

Thank you i like playing raid now

Aye, take a drink everytime he says "32 BBY blockade and invasion"

> tired of cartoonish-looking games? > I propose you yet another cartoonish-looking game

I use to block shots with obi wan in his video game on the Xbox and try to save as many of the soliders as I could. See how long it would take them to take out the droids. It took a while.

When you said part time soldiers I thought “oh god their the national guard, the Jedi fought alongside the national guard and some weird fish men to liberate a planet from a robot army and a weird space devil man.”

Geetsly's: Raid shadow legends is realistic Raid Shadow legends: as bad as Yoda's puppet model in Return of the Jedi

You have to literally save these guys in the complete saga

This hasn't aged well!!!! Naboo guard for the winnnnnnnn

Hey, the Naboo Starfighter was pretty decent though, and those Naboo yachts make great platforms for conversions to fast combat craft. WAIT, the fact they had good fighters was controversial!?

I think Amidala might have been the reason they never upgraded their military, since she probably convinced the queen that if naboo were to be attacked (which it was during the shadow virus arc) they could rely on the clone troopers to defend them (which is exactly what happened in that arc)

Geetsly: do you think JarJar should have been blasted to shreds? Literally what everyone wants: haha, JarJar go brrrr

You forgot to mention it was only a small detachment of the 501st that snuck in there and wrecked their shit.

Naboo was a planet filled with mostly none violent people.

Can’t wait for the mandalore version of this episode

Better a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

They couldn't aim

Excellent
