One of the many things I love about Star Wars are the back story of characters that normally at first glance don’t appear to matter but in reality if you look closely your found they are more than a blank face which is cool and a bit unsettling
Absolutely. So many people just see the movies or some of the movies and think that there's no depth to the lore, characters or background stories. If you explore both the legends or cannon EU there's so much more there with even literal background characters with no dialogue have life stories and family legacies. The animated series deals so much with politics, culture, society's treatment of veterans, the glorification of war, PTSD, economic colonialism, client states, power dynamics, history, a variety of relationship types, corporatism, corruption, social and religious dogma and so many other things. Hell, the original trilogy was about fascism and America's genocidal wars in post WWII Southeast Asia and the prequel trilogy was (unintentionally) an absolutely perfect analogy for the neverending war on terror. The storyline between Palpatine/Anakin and Darth Sidious/Vader is the very definition of an inequitable power dynamic and the relationship between Padme and Anakin is the absolute definition of a toxic relationship. All of which was done with very precise intent, and, even though the prequel trilogy wasn't conceived of as an analogy for the War on Terrorism, the fact that it is such a perfect analogy for it tells you how intentional Lucas was with his political commentary. I'm not a fan who spends time hating on the Disney movies but them attempting to succeed at telling background stories by giving a story to the little thing dangling from the ceiling of the cockpit in the Millennium Falcon shows how unaware they were of what makes people love Star Wars. People didn't watch the prequels to find out why Luke's father wound up with a lightsaber that color and we didn't walk into the Force Awakens because we were overwhelmed with curiosity about what happened to Luke's outfit after Episode VI. Sorry for the rant, lol

I’m rewatching the Ahsoka framing ARC and Fox literally doesn’t do anything out of line lol. Rex even issues the “Ahsoka killed 3 clones, consider her armed and dangerous” order; not Fox.
For most people it's him killing Fives, a fan favorite. Though even then you can tell he's grappling with what he just did under the helmet with his body language.
I understand your point, but I think the thing that makes it understandable is lack of context on Fox’s part. WE as the audience know Fives is an innocent man trying to stop a master manipulator from destroying the republic. FOX, on the other hand is dealing with a visibly unstable turncoat who as far as he knows, has just tried to assassinate the republics head of state. He COULD have used stun, but at this point, he’s still on the side of the Jedi, and Fives has just pulled a blaster on the Jedi, Him, and his fellow men. Was it wrong to shoot him? Yes. Did Fox have the time to consider that in the split second between Fives pulling the blaster and Fox taking the shot? No. There’s also the possibility that he HAD it on stun, but the second Fives pulled and aimed the blaster all bets were off.

Hey you can probably blame Yoda for Thire. He probably gave Thire the inspiration he needed to rise the ranks further. Even so the coruscant guard is still my favorite .
Is it possible to do the three most good clones? Or has that already been done? Because I think we need that after all the evil we just witnessed. Is it even possible to narrow it down to just three? Could give it a shot.
@@inductivegrunt94 As much as I liked Fives, Commander Fox did give him a chance to stand down in all fairness, and before I hear the "He could have used stun!" argument, if I remember correctly, that setting is slower and considering they were against an ARC trooper who even when drugged was capable of defending himself, I don't think I can blame him for defending his men, y'know?
In my opinion, many clones had genuine hearts and souls such as Rex or Fives, some like these three, well... were downright evil. Not every clone was good: Some were genuine heroes, some were indifferent, some were evil
Huh, the second and especially the thrid choice was very much expected, but Thire was defiantly a surprise, he seemed like a good dude in that first episode, but then again I thought Crosshair seemed like a good dude in Clone Wars and we all know what side he ended up choosing, so I guess just like when it came to the Bad Batch in relation to Crosshair, I guess I didn't know Thire all that well after all. How about we discuss the morally best Clones next, the ones that were loyal to the Republic, but like some Jedi, they weren't loyal to the point of stupidity, like Rex, Fives, and so on.
Yeah but least Rys and Jek had debatably easier fates. From what I heard Rys despite following Order 66 due to the chios as soon as it's effects wore off he was horrified by it and deserted. Jek apparently died on Kashyyyk though but least he didn't have to see the results of the war
Jek joined the ranger corps after that episode and he’s actually the clone next to gree who tried to kill Yoda after order 66, so sadly Yoda had to kill him
Video Idea: Shortly before the battle of Coruscant, Palpatine fumbles his laptop after Senator Binks goofs up. A bunch of Palpatine's messages get sent to the wrong recipients, and now Anakin knows that Palpatine's schemes are what is threatening Padme. Mace Windu knows that Palpatine is a Sith Lord intending to make Anakin his new apprentice. Count Dooku knows that Palpatine plans to betray and replace him. General Grievous knows that Dooku and Palpatine killed his wife. Commander Cody and Obi Wan know about the Inhibitor Chips. What Happens?
Palp's dead, one way or another: via Order 65, Mace's or Anakin's lightsaber, or executed after trial in the senate after being impeached. And since Mas Ameda had complicity, he's also either deposed or executed. Dooku and Grievous have life in prison if the testify against Palpatine, which in my mind they wouldn't care to do after what you just described concerning them.
@@snapshotinhistory1367 palps is getting religious for sure, but I think the more interesting things would be the stuff beyond that. The Separatists are still separate, this war has been going for a while now. Dooku and the SC has a government and an army still and no incentive to lose this war. Grievous has his armies too, and has likely just shifted from "nearly omnicidal" to "fully omnicidal" Being a Sith isn't illegal and the Republic is still heavily staffed by Palpatine appointees, so a trial will be required if Mace or Anakin killed him, which they almost certainly will, and there will be a lot of people with reasons to obfuscate the parts of Palpatine's doing that aren't fully digested yet. You could potentially see a Jedi-Republic vs. Senate-Republic vs. What-The-Hell-Just-Happened?-Republic divide that could turn into a second contemporaneous civil war, plus you've got the Separatists still fighting and confused with many uncertain if Grievous is still on their side while he takes his ships and just starts indiscriminately glassing systems in a nihilistic rage against all life.
@@Fr0stbit3_ he let a bunch of senators be captured/kidnapped, and later he let Coruscant’s power grid thing get bombed by CIS droids which led to a few senators get killed and the republic buying 5 million clone troopers which nearly led to the republic being bankrupt and stuff also one of the senators that got killed was umbaran and that senator was very very loved by his people due to him dying and stuff made Umbara to align with the CIS and well led to the battle of Umbara which was a battle where a bunch of clones like Hardcase, Waxer, Oz, and Ringo to die.
To be fair the brain chips were supposed to have brain washed all the clones completely, enhancing the violence in them, and making them more evil. That’s why clones like Keller were mean. At least that’s how it was until Dave filoni ret conned it.
Uh... I'm no expert on military rules/regs, but isn't killing dozens of your own soldiers to take out one Jedi called *fratricide,* which is grounds for court martial and possible execution? I mean, wasn't Faie against breaking *any* rule? 🤔
"If he was ordered to kill all the children in the galaxy whit his bare hands, he not only would've done it, but he also would've become angry and indignant at anyone who tried to tell him he shouldn't be doing it"

I will not have you slander the Guard! The boys in Red are heroes of the Republic. .... For real tho commander Fox 🦊 is my favorite clone trooper 'uniform wise' sh!t is dope
@@xavierterrelong9385 Crosshair is interesting because we sort of see him as ambitious and cruel as other "bad" clones, but he is also very much presented as a victim of the chip and the Imperial policies.
@@rosesweetcharlotte I’m not sure ambitious is the right way of looking at it he’s just a dude born to kill droids and fallow orders it’s only recently that the ones giving him orders also don’t appreciate him because they’re racist against clones which is good enough reason to betray the empire I mean ask kallus in the not so distant future
The first three aren’t really that evil as they are military-minded and indifferent to the harshness of war. Bacara is very much a commander that wouldn’t be crying tears for a fallen brother like Red would and go on with his life.
It’s also unfair to judge the clones post order 66 since their actions were not their own. You could argue they didn’t have chips but the retcon established that all had chips this whole time. You could say Rex is evil for trying to kill Ahsoka
“We hate Commander Fox” I was rewatching the episodes that showed Fox as “evil” and y’all are overreacting. Fox literally did nothing wrong. Y’all are just butthurt because Anakin was yelling at him to let him in to see a murderer when Fox was given orders not to. And don’t forget it was Rex who gave the order to assume Ahsoka was armed and dangerous and had killed 3 clones.
@@Luckerchu333 because they did it out of their own free will, because the cloners in Kamino made sure they fought, and died, for the republic, and because these clones came out before that retarded chip retcon
@@Luckerchu333 because the clones being poor victims of the plan and made them enemies of the jedi totally goes with rex's line that unlike droids, clones can make their own choices. In fact even Palpatine himself stated that clones with chips are retarded and preferred soldiers who followed orders without hesitation
@@OutOfIdeas9977 The senators didn't get kidnapped. Cad Bane threatened to detonate bombs which would have killed the senators who were inside the building that Bane was exiting from. If Fox opened fire the entire republic senate would have been killed. He made the right choice. He let the bad guy get away but ultimately that saved the lives of the Senators. If he opened fire it would have been a lose lose scenario. As for the droids. The droids had official republic documents. This was a routine procedure that had happened before. How the hell was Fox meant to tell the droids were sus by just a mistake in direction? Everything else checked out. I guarantee you if you were in Fox's shoes with no knowledge of the situation that a viewer would have you would make the same choices he did.
Nah man. Most of the stuff Geetslys says about thire in this video doesn't have any kind of actual source. He makes most of this shit up to paint the Coruscant Guard in a bad light
I see no one mentions them, but Commanders Vill and Voca of the 501st qualify: Vill fought against the Separatist resistance at New Plympto, and when the last Separatist soldiers surrendered, he executed them. Later he captured their families and took them to a slave market. Voca fought under Vader at Atoa and executed several civilians and prisoners of war under his orders (and complied with those tactical orders that cost the most Imperial lives).
I feel like being in the corasaunt guard was just rolling the dice and losing hard. Thire seemed like a decent leader during ambush and caring for his men. But years off being in the millatary police probally removed any emotion he felt for the people he was affecting. It became just another mission. And I think the cycle went both ways, a new clone is assigned to the corasaunt guard. All the citizens hate him, he has no idea why and he starts to hate them back.
For All his faults, Fox genuinely apologized to Vader when he made a mistake, rescued Padme from Ziro, and seemed regretful of having to kill Fives. Yes he was a scumbag, but he had his moments of decency. You can't really say that about Keller or Faie. Whenever people say Fox is the worst Clone Commander, I admittedly silently laugh. And that was BEFORE this video where I learned Thire was worse too!
There is an enormous difference between loyal and obedient. Many of the most evil clones were obedient. Loyalty is not a faultable trait, these clones abandoned their loyalty.
I wouldn't exactly call Thire and Keller evil. Thire, along with the rest of the Coruscant Guard, did basically act like Palpatine's police force and subject the people of Coruscant to an invasive, authoritarian regime, but they were doing that because that was their job, and it was a job they loathed with a passion. If you asked any member of the Coruscant Guard if they'd rather be on Coruscant or the frontlines, I guarantee you 99% of them would've said the latter. Fighting for the Republic was what these guys were born and trained to do, and it's why they entered every situation as if it was a warzone, because they wanted it to be. It's why individuals like Thorn and his men were relatively lucky. They went out in a blaze of glory fighting against droids like a clone should, while Fox, Thire, Stone, and the rest had to endure being enforcers of Palpatine's totalitarian police state until they were decomissioned, and that's just a terrible gig. Keller also did brutalize an entire city of people in pursuit of two people, but that's due to him being extremely dedicated to completing the mission assigned to him no matter the cost - almost certainly due to his being a commander in the infamously hardass Galactic Marines. As for Faie... no arguments there, he was an absolute scumbag, devoid of all humanity, and he deserved far worse than what he got. I will argue the idea that these guys "would all have done better to follow the example of Sergeant Slick." No matter how justifable his motivations may have been, Slick betrayed his brothers and committed acts that directly killed them or put them in harm's way. And he did what he did knowing that would happen. I can totally respect a deserter like Cut Lawquane, someone who deserts from the GAR because they want no part in the war whatsoever and just want to live their lives as they see fit. But I will always condemn someone like Slick, who was so selfish and greedy that he got his brothers killed and put them at risk. That is something I can never condone, and especially not encourage.
Actions done DURING Order 66 cannot be seen as free will, and thus cannot be judged as a part of the clones themselves, more so than an act of Sidious and the Kaminoans. Rex, who knew about the effect of the chip, was very individualistic, who would care for his friends and brothers in arms who was somewhat prepared struggled to fight it off, he would have shot Ahsoka if the delay didn't give her time to react, his friend. NOT his master, not his slaver, not his task enforcer, his friend. Every single clone who actually managed to fight the chip were either A, aware of the chip and its effects, or B, not present to Jedi with a varying set of reasons as to why that was. Thire is the only one on this list I can even remotely agree with as he's the onyl one who's proven to be awful prior to the Order, being by the book was by design, being assigned to Jedi masters who were by the book shaped these troopers, the more the Jedi was disciplined, the bigger the downfall. Sidious knew what he was doing when he pulled the Jedi into the war. At no point did the Jedi question whether it was right or wrong to use clones in this massive war, people bred for war by some shifty types. Nah nah, separatists blurred those lines, right? The Jedi who are peace keepers became generals of war and many relished in this. It's easy to have the morale high ground from a third party view where you actively know that Palpatine is the big bad.
Hey we don't hate all of the Coruscant Guard, Thorn is awesome and i would love to see him again if they have a series take place before season 6 of TCW
Maybe Thire probably have Ptsd after he saw Fives' death, he doesn't seen trust emperor palpatine after he order fox to execute fives, that's why Thire care about his brothers, hopefully He in The bad batch season 3 where he with Rex.
Eh, the clones were slave soldiers robbed of their free will and forced to fight a war by a corrupt Republic and often led by inept Jedi generals who used them as cannon fodder. I think most clones would have happily gunned down their Jedi overlords and been completely justified in doing so.
Geetslys where are you getting most of these sources from on Thire? Almost none of this is on his Wookiepedia page. Are you making this up to further your own agenda of hating the Coruscant Guard?
im gonna be real, idk if others will agree with me but I feel none of them are inherently evil. to me its a mixture of the inhibitor chip and the fog of war that made it difficult for them to make what we consider the right call. for example keller was under the impression that the jedi were trators and had done despicable acts. he was tasked in bringing in and killing them for what they had done. i also feel for them to be truly evil they have to act with malice which I don't think any of them did. despite this being a simple animated tv show, decisions can be extremely difficult in war time and a lot of times you arent going to make the right call. basically war is tough and not as simple as saying this person is evil and this person isn't :/ I'm not saying they were inherently good people, just not evil
How can the CG be bad its a job at the end of the day they're the ones defending a entire planet and why not use a bit of police Brutality every now and again. CG are badass to the extent of the 501st are awsome at killing Jedi
I have a feeling Faie would’ve called for the execution of the entire 501st Legion for the actions of Fives, Jesse and Hardcase if He and his men were at Umbara.
Not even Crosshair was as loyal and sociopathic as Faie, absolute evil.
Crosshair is a clichéd character with a predictable story arc. Star Wars needs to move away from the lame bad guy goes AWOL and turns good later on.
@@eddieram435 I think the problem with Crosshair is that it feels weird to think of him as "evil" none of this was really his choice. Faie feels like he has a tiny bit more agency

@@inductivegrunt94 As much as I liked Fives, Commander Fox did give him a chance to stand down in all fairness, and before I hear the "He could have used stun!" argument, if I remember correctly, that setting is slower and considering they were against an ARC trooper who even when drugged was capable of defending himself, I don't think I can blame him for defending his men, y'know?
In my opinion, many clones had genuine hearts and souls such as Rex or Fives, some like these three, well... were downright evil. Not every clone was good: Some were genuine heroes, some were indifferent, some were evil
Don't forget about Waxer and 99, especially 99.
Well it's loyalty
@@zero312 Definitely
Pretty sure these are legends anyway. Thire in CW was likely much different than what we see here
@@Fr0stbit3_ Never thought Thire had that in him
The Clones always did have cool looking Armor. Mandalorian have even cooler armor
Faie has a good amount of armor changes. At least 3 I can count. Only Rex, Echo and Fives get that many.
Yeah. Faie’s 7th Legion Engineer and Ultra-Camouflaged 41st Clone Scout armor are all really cool armor sets.
Thire: Palpatine’s second kissup
Keller: drip
Faie: just a psychopath
A live action series about the shock troopers in the style of The Boys would be awesome
Huh, the second and especially the thrid choice was very much expected, but Thire was defiantly a surprise, he seemed like a good dude in that first episode, but then again I thought Crosshair seemed like a good dude in Clone Wars and we all know what side he ended up choosing, so I guess just like when it came to the Bad Batch in relation to Crosshair, I guess I didn't know Thire all that well after all.
How about we discuss the morally best Clones next, the ones that were loyal to the Republic, but like some Jedi, they weren't loyal to the point of stupidity, like Rex, Fives, and so on.
Thire in CW was different than Legends Thire
Yeah but least Rys and Jek had debatably easier fates. From what I heard Rys despite following Order 66 due to the chios as soon as it's effects wore off he was horrified by it and deserted. Jek apparently died on Kashyyyk though but least he didn't have to see the results of the war
Jek joined the ranger corps after that episode and he’s actually the clone next to gree who tried to kill Yoda after order 66, so sadly Yoda had to kill him
I am surprised you didn’t include Fox due to your childish hatred of him.
There was definitely something wrong with Commander Faie.
It was bound to happen. All clones are different.
Yeah. It's called loyalty. No inhibitor chips required.
Video Idea:
Shortly before the battle of Coruscant, Palpatine fumbles his laptop after Senator Binks goofs up. A bunch of Palpatine's messages get sent to the wrong recipients, and now
Anakin knows that Palpatine's schemes are what is threatening Padme.
Mace Windu knows that Palpatine is a Sith Lord intending to make Anakin his new apprentice.
Count Dooku knows that Palpatine plans to betray and replace him.
General Grievous knows that Dooku and Palpatine killed his wife.
Commander Cody and Obi Wan know about the Inhibitor Chips.
What Happens?
Palp's dead, one way or another: via Order 65, Mace's or Anakin's lightsaber, or executed after trial in the senate after being impeached. And since Mas Ameda had complicity, he's also either deposed or executed. Dooku and Grievous have life in prison if the testify against Palpatine, which in my mind they wouldn't care to do after what you just described concerning them.
I would LOVE to see a video on this.
@@snapshotinhistory1367 palps is getting religious for sure, but I think the more interesting things would be the stuff beyond that.
The Separatists are still separate, this war has been going for a while now.
Dooku and the SC has a government and an army still and no incentive to lose this war. Grievous has his armies too, and has likely just shifted from "nearly omnicidal" to "fully omnicidal"
Being a Sith isn't illegal and the Republic is still heavily staffed by Palpatine appointees, so a trial will be required if Mace or Anakin killed him, which they almost certainly will, and there will be a lot of people with reasons to obfuscate the parts of Palpatine's doing that aren't fully digested yet.
You could potentially see a Jedi-Republic vs. Senate-Republic vs. What-The-Hell-Just-Happened?-Republic divide that could turn into a second contemporaneous civil war, plus you've got the Separatists still fighting and confused with many uncertain if Grievous is still on their side while he takes his ships and just starts indiscriminately glassing systems in a nihilistic rage against all life.

Your logic baffles me
@@Fr0stbit3_ I mean for a reason……. Edit: okay let me change a word he failed to protect senators and protect Coruscant’s power grid from exploding.
To be fair the brain chips were supposed to have brain washed all the clones completely, enhancing the violence in them, and making them more evil. That’s why clones like Keller were mean. At least that’s how it was until Dave filoni ret conned it.
Don't you dare say bad things about Fox. The man was just doing his job!
So your saying that letting a bunch of senators be kidnapped and helping a bunch of CIS droids blow up corsant’s power grid is his job?
I was rewatching the episodes with Fox and Fox is literally doing everything right lol
Uh... I'm no expert on military rules/regs, but isn't killing dozens of your own soldiers to take out one Jedi called *fratricide,* which is grounds for court martial and possible execution? I mean, wasn't Faie against breaking *any* rule? 🤔
That would require the clones to be considered people.
@@rosesweetcharlotte and they were considered as Sub-Human so….
Well he was so loyal that he was willing to end himself to get rid of the Jedi.
If you look up the real life definition of a psychopath and what requirements to be considered as one, Faire would meet a lot of those points.
Me who still thinks Fox and the Coruscant Guard did nothing wrong
😐
I think even Crosshair would've been reviled at the actions of these three clones.
"If he was ordered to kill all the children in the galaxy whit his bare hands, he not only would've done it, but he also would've become angry and indignant at anyone who tried to tell him he shouldn't be doing it"
Had Faie survived to see 0 BBY, he would’ve been excited to blow up Alderaan.
@@oriongear2499We do not speak of Alderaan around here.
Could you do a video about the 3 morally best clones in the GAR next?
Rex would probably be the first or Last Clone to be on that list, considering he and Faie are two sides of the same Clone Commander coin.
This stories would do amazing arcs in an animated show
I knew Commander Faie was gonna be in here, he’s an easy choice. Must admit though I’m impressed with the diversity in this top 3, I was expecting either Fox/Bacara/Neyo to be in here and I never knew about Keller until now.
Sensing a trend here. 2 of the 3 clones Yoda had with him have either tried to kill him, or were brutally subjugative.

Geetlys and his fandom: OMG SO EVIL!!!
Appo, Neyo, Bacara and Crosshair are all pretty evil clones.
Crosshair did kill Stormtroopers and lieutenant
@@xavierterrelong9385 Crosshair is interesting because we sort of see him as ambitious and cruel as other "bad" clones, but he is also very much presented as a victim of the chip and the Imperial policies.
Appo!? Crosshair!? Being evil I think not.
@@rosesweetcharlotte I’m not sure ambitious is the right way of looking at it he’s just a dude born to kill droids and fallow orders it’s only recently that the ones giving him orders also don’t appreciate him because they’re racist against clones which is good enough reason to betray the empire I mean ask kallus in the not so distant future
The first three aren’t really that evil as they are military-minded and indifferent to the harshness of war. Bacara is very much a commander that wouldn’t be crying tears for a fallen brother like Red would and go on with his life.
It’s also unfair to judge the clones post order 66 since their actions were not their own. You could argue they didn’t have chips but the retcon established that all had chips this whole time.
You could say Rex is evil for trying to kill Ahsoka
All of these actions are after there inhibitor chips are activated tho
There was one commander in the Coruscant Guard that was good. Commander Thorn. He was both a hero and a badass.
“We hate Commander Fox”
I was rewatching the episodes that showed Fox as “evil” and y’all are overreacting. Fox literally did nothing wrong. Y’all are just butthurt because Anakin was yelling at him to let him in to see a murderer when Fox was given orders not to. And don’t forget it was Rex who gave the order to assume Ahsoka was armed and dangerous and had killed 3 clones.
Rex was the one that gave the order? I don’t recall.
@@OutOfIdeas9977 Yup, after they found the 3 dead clones Rex was the one who gave the order
Every clone became evil when the inhibitor chip activated. That's the point of the chip, to hunt down every jedi with any means necessary
They didn't have a chip
@@EternalEmperorofZakuul And why do you think that?
@@Luckerchu333 because they did it out of their own free will, because the cloners in Kamino made sure they fought, and died, for the republic, and because these clones came out before that retarded chip retcon
@@EternalEmperorofZakuul Yeah lets keep "they are born evil" lazy shit, why not and the chips are canon so....
@@Luckerchu333 because the clones being poor victims of the plan and made them enemies of the jedi totally goes with rex's line that unlike droids, clones can make their own choices. In fact even Palpatine himself stated that clones with chips are retarded and preferred soldiers who followed orders without hesitation
Commanders thorn and stone as well as jek, and rys were good clones.
Yep
@@OutOfIdeas9977 exactly
I’m glad Fox isn’t on the list. CW stans love to trash him for doin’ what any logical person would in his position.
Yes, I said it.
So you’re saying that letting a bunch of senators get kidnapped and let a bunch of CIS bombers blow up Corasant’s power grid is his job?
@@OutOfIdeas9977 The senators didn't get kidnapped. Cad Bane threatened to detonate bombs which would have killed the senators who were inside the building that Bane was exiting from. If Fox opened fire the entire republic senate would have been killed. He made the right choice. He let the bad guy get away but ultimately that saved the lives of the Senators. If he opened fire it would have been a lose lose scenario.
As for the droids. The droids had official republic documents. This was a routine procedure that had happened before. How the hell was Fox meant to tell the droids were sus by just a mistake in direction? Everything else checked out. I guarantee you if you were in Fox's shoes with no knowledge of the situation that a viewer would have you would make the same choices he did.
@@troopergio good point also okay let me change a word the senators got captured by Bounty hunters like Cad bane not kidnapped
Keller and Faye nice
also could it because they were trained to be loyal soldiers that they would haven't grown these bad personalities
Sad that the first Clone at the start became the worst, guess Yoda's advice was wasted on him.
Nah man. Most of the stuff Geetslys says about thire in this video doesn't have any kind of actual source. He makes most of this shit up to paint the Coruscant Guard in a bad light
@@deathblooms5186 TBF, I could see Thire setting up Security Checkpoints on Coruscant, either on orders from Palpatine or because of his paranoia.
These guys redefine "evil clone".
I see no one mentions them, but Commanders Vill and Voca of the 501st qualify:
Vill fought against the Separatist resistance at New Plympto, and when the last Separatist soldiers surrendered, he executed them. Later he captured their families and took them to a slave market.
Voca fought under Vader at Atoa and executed several civilians and prisoners of war under his orders (and complied with those tactical orders that cost the most Imperial lives).
I actually used to have the clone cmdr. Keller action figure and the comic book he came with along w the Jedi master action figure as well
So he followed orders? That bastard!
Out of his free will due to indoctrination
I’m honestly surprised Thire was more evil then Fox. Though you could argue Fox is a saint compared to Faye
You could say Fey was the Yularen to Vos’s Anakin in terms of personality.
Yet another reason to be all for the C.I.S!
Love Fives, and yes, I'd say he's above Rex undoubtedly. Definitely one of the absolute BEST ✊🏼🖤5
i like Fox mainly cause how we first met him when he was with yoda also of the coruscant guard Thorn was the best and Fordo
Fox actually first appeared in The Clone Wars Movie, he's the one that "saved" Padme from Ziro
Is it evil or just them following orders?
Both.
Loyalty to the republic, no inhibitor chips required
I wonder if faie would have changed at all had he lived and served the empire kind of like crosshair
I feel like being in the corasaunt guard was just rolling the dice and losing hard. Thire seemed like a decent leader during ambush and caring for his men. But years off being in the millatary police probally removed any emotion he felt for the people he was affecting. It became just another mission. And I think the cycle went both ways, a new clone is assigned to the corasaunt guard. All the citizens hate him, he has no idea why and he starts to hate them back.
For All his faults, Fox genuinely apologized to Vader when he made a mistake, rescued Padme from Ziro, and seemed regretful of having to kill Fives. Yes he was a scumbag, but he had his moments of decency. You can't really say that about Keller or Faie. Whenever people say Fox is the worst Clone Commander, I admittedly silently laugh. And that was BEFORE this video where I learned Thire was worse too!
I wanna hate Fox but damn his armor coloring is so unique and cool
You should see Commander Thorn’s armor
There is an enormous difference between loyal and obedient.
Many of the most evil clones were obedient. Loyalty is not a faultable trait, these clones abandoned their loyalty.
Coruscant Guard is litterally my favorite clone legion, why must you hurt me in this way 😢
A lot of people seem to forget the person that the clones were actually clones *of*
Not me.
Don't surrender yourself to a corrupt government.
Surrender yourself to the light side of the Force.
I wouldn't exactly call Thire and Keller evil. Thire, along with the rest of the Coruscant Guard, did basically act like Palpatine's police force and subject the people of Coruscant to an invasive, authoritarian regime, but they were doing that because that was their job, and it was a job they loathed with a passion. If you asked any member of the Coruscant Guard if they'd rather be on Coruscant or the frontlines, I guarantee you 99% of them would've said the latter. Fighting for the Republic was what these guys were born and trained to do, and it's why they entered every situation as if it was a warzone, because they wanted it to be. It's why individuals like Thorn and his men were relatively lucky. They went out in a blaze of glory fighting against droids like a clone should, while Fox, Thire, Stone, and the rest had to endure being enforcers of Palpatine's totalitarian police state until they were decomissioned, and that's just a terrible gig. Keller also did brutalize an entire city of people in pursuit of two people, but that's due to him being extremely dedicated to completing the mission assigned to him no matter the cost - almost certainly due to his being a commander in the infamously hardass Galactic Marines. As for Faie... no arguments there, he was an absolute scumbag, devoid of all humanity, and he deserved far worse than what he got. I will argue the idea that these guys "would all have done better to follow the example of Sergeant Slick." No matter how justifable his motivations may have been, Slick betrayed his brothers and committed acts that directly killed them or put them in harm's way. And he did what he did knowing that would happen. I can totally respect a deserter like Cut Lawquane, someone who deserts from the GAR because they want no part in the war whatsoever and just want to live their lives as they see fit. But I will always condemn someone like Slick, who was so selfish and greedy that he got his brothers killed and put them at risk. That is something I can never condone, and especially not encourage.
Actions done DURING Order 66 cannot be seen as free will, and thus cannot be judged as a part of the clones themselves, more so than an act of Sidious and the Kaminoans.
Rex, who knew about the effect of the chip, was very individualistic, who would care for his friends and brothers in arms who was somewhat prepared struggled to fight it off, he would have shot Ahsoka if the delay didn't give her time to react, his friend. NOT his master, not his slaver, not his task enforcer, his friend.
Every single clone who actually managed to fight the chip were either A, aware of the chip and its effects, or B, not present to Jedi with a varying set of reasons as to why that was.
Thire is the only one on this list I can even remotely agree with as he's the onyl one who's proven to be awful prior to the Order, being by the book was by design, being assigned to Jedi masters who were by the book shaped these troopers, the more the Jedi was disciplined, the bigger the downfall.
Sidious knew what he was doing when he pulled the Jedi into the war.
At no point did the Jedi question whether it was right or wrong to use clones in this massive war, people bred for war by some shifty types. Nah nah, separatists blurred those lines, right? The Jedi who are peace keepers became generals of war and many relished in this. It's easy to have the morale high ground from a third party view where you actively know that Palpatine is the big bad.
When I saw the 3rd chapter thumbnail, I thought: “BLY!?!?!?”

Maybe Thire probably have Ptsd after he saw Fives' death, he doesn't seen trust emperor palpatine after he order fox to execute fives, that's why Thire care about his brothers, hopefully He in The bad batch season 3 where he with Rex.
Eh, the clones were slave soldiers robbed of their free will and forced to fight a war by a corrupt Republic and often led by inept Jedi generals who used them as cannon fodder. I think most clones would have happily gunned down their Jedi overlords and been completely justified in doing so.

Geetslys where are you getting most of these sources from on Thire? Almost none of this is on his Wookiepedia page. Are you making this up to further your own agenda of hating the Coruscant Guard?
“boohoo he kiled fives!reeeeeeeeeeeee’’
that’s what i hear whenever someone hates on my beloved shock troopers
im gonna be real, idk if others will agree with me but I feel none of them are inherently evil. to me its a mixture of the inhibitor chip and the fog of war that made it difficult for them to make what we consider the right call. for example keller was under the impression that the jedi were trators and had done despicable acts. he was tasked in bringing in and killing them for what they had done. i also feel for them to be truly evil they have to act with malice which I don't think any of them did. despite this being a simple animated tv show, decisions can be extremely difficult in war time and a lot of times you arent going to make the right call. basically war is tough and not as simple as saying this person is evil and this person isn't :/ I'm not saying they were inherently good people, just not evil
