      Those clone commanders should have become generals once their generals died. I know the GAR had non-clone admirals so I’d assume they also had some non-Jedi generals. They would likely retain their rank, but a unit that used to be led by a Jedi general would need a new general, right?

      I think the colour scheme of the clones armors was more a decision of the empire. The Jedi allowed the clones their own personality and the empire just wanted faceless soldiers. That´s why the stormtroopers all wore the white armor. The empire didn´t want it´s soldiers to have their own personality.

      Even in Revenge of the Sith, the 212th was very clearly orange, and Cody if anything had darker orange armor paint than his infantrymen (save for the 7th Airborne, who were a similar shade of orange to Cody). In TCW, sure the phase 1 clone armor was more yellow than orange, but it was still orange when the clones switched to phase 2 armor. Maybe a mango orange, but definitely not mango yellow.

      There's a scene (or deleted scene, as far as I know) where he is answering to Emperor Palpatine - and reported that Obi Wan Kenobi was dead after the fall. However, when asked to confirm his death - he claimed that "No one could survive that fall". This parallels Hunter's response to Caleb Dume in The Bad Batch season opener. So, it can be inferred that Cody immediately felt remorse and wanted to wash his hands of what he ordered.

    I love how shows like the Bad Batch are exploring the consequences and mindset of the clones after order 66. Giving that deeper character development as well as expanding on the relationship they had with their Jedi Generals. Personally, I love this kind of stuff an I hope to see more of it going forward. Not just with clones but other characters as well. Exploring the parts of stories that we haven't got to see on screen only allows for a greater connection to these characters that we already love.

    My gripe with Crosshair taking the shot when Commander Cody hesitated is that, yeah, a good soldier follows orders, but a good soldier follows chain of command.

    Excellent review of Cody and his relationship with Obi Wan. I too think it would be a terrible shame and a waste of a great story arc to not address Cody and Obi Wan. By the time of a New Hope, I suspect Cody is dead, or we'd probably see him with Rex's group. I've wondered if Filoni will have a couple of episodes where TBB and Rex meet with Cody and probably remove the chip and then, if there is indeed a second season of Kenobi, it could include Cody going to Tatooine to see the Jedi and maybe make things right. In fact, it could be the entire second season of Kenobi if they did it right (and don't hold your breath for that, after seeing season 1 of Kenobi). Maybe Cody sort-of shadows Kenobi for half the season, sort of a hidden protector of him, and then toward the end of the season, he ends up saving Kenobi from some threat, but is seriously injured and dies with Kenobi there, having made peace with him. It would be a heck of a lot better than that silly waste of time that was the first season of Kenobi, and it would be a noble and fitting end to a truly great Clone. Actually, I wouldn't mind at all if Cody survived like Rex did and worked with the Rebellion, but either way, he deserves a noble story arc.

    4:44 This tactic is actually against international Law, not to mention a bad precedent to set.
    One of the key reasons the U. S. Cavalry took no quarter when fighting the Sioux and Cheyanne came because those tribes had a history of not honoring a flag of truce, nor surrender. They had on several occasions flown a white flag, then attacked during the supposed cease fire~ having taken that time to reorganize troops, just as Obiwan did here. So the cavalry no longer trusted nor accepted surrender in battle.
    What happens to the next group who try to surrender? The enemy will only see it as a trick.

    One thing you didn't mention, but I think is worth bringing up.
    The Clones at the beginning of the war have been force-aged (Not _The-Force_ ) so they are physically adult, but they are still only, what? Ten years old??
    It is shown that the Kiminoans see them as _a product_ rather than as _fully human_ or _fully sentient beings._
    These _Jedi_ were among the _First_ (mostly) _Human Adults_ they had interacted with other than some of them seeing Jango Fett now and again, _(but somehow I don't get the feeling Jango was much for fraternizing with the clones, other than Boba)._

      It was implied back before the TV shows that the Contingency Orders were drilled deep and hard into the clones and those that didn't comply were killed.
      I can see pre-inhibitor that most clones would have followed the order by reflex and only those super close to their jedi would hesitate. But remember the clones were bred and trained for obedience and most clones wouldn't have had much contact with the jedi.
      Between the Jedi Code demanding a lack of attachment, that the Jedi were so few that some clones probably spent their entire lives never even seeing the face of their Jedi General and that some Jedi used their clones with no more regard to their lives? Yeah, I could see most clones following the orders without issue.

Yes, its a stark divergence from Legends, but i think from a human standpoint its much more interesting how some more empathetic clones like him deal with the knowledge of Order 66 and how life for them is changing. My personal hope is that maybe they revive the story from legends with Kal Skirata and his haven for clones who defect from the empire.

    But as you have pointed out (and the jedi also point out) they are not generals or even battlerfield trained.

    I never really got why people always assumed Cody would be loyal to the empire. Like, yes he was a loyal soldier of the republic however he's a loyal soldier with morals. He thinks before he acts, he has compassion and is shown to very much care for obi-wan and his brothers, like in the clones wars tv show as well as the comics. I don't necessarily blame people for interpreting him that way either though when taking into account his apparent fate in legends and the fact that a lot of star wars fans might not have read the comics or watched the animated shows.
    Personally, I think this was a perfect route to take his character and whether or not you agree with me, I think we can all just be glad that Cody is finally making a prominent appearance again. Hopefully he gets the canon ending he deserves ❤

    Great video. The BB episode 3 was a cut above. Don't get me wrong - the others are fun star wars content. But EP3 - was a more mature story, where we got to see what made andor so good - characters.
    thanks for the video.

    Here's the thing. Questioning the order actually makes no sense. We want it because it provides complexity to characters that had a light switch flip. The switch doesn't flip back unless it gets removed. So it's stretching the truth a little thin to have clones question the order. I like the idea of ambiguity & questioning but in terms of how the characters are written - for what they DID? With no qualms they went from fighting side by side to not giving a second thought to murder. I'd love for clones to question but in the end, it makes little sense to regret. For all purposes, these are programmed computers.

      most of them probably didnt realize they were under control of the chip, or dindt even needed the chip. i think it is the general procedure of the empire, which conflicts more and more with their morals as honorable soldiers (like faking reports, or breaking promises immediatley like in codys situation, which shows that the empire isnt as loyal and therefore trustworthy as they may thought, which then makes them question the order eventually. As i understand the chip makes them do specific order which were all encoded into their brain but doesnt change their core values as soldiers that are better then droids, but correct me if i m wrong

    To answer the question of the title of this video, I'd say Kenobi and the rest of the Jedi are the ones who should feel guilty for everything that has happened! You literally had an incident on Ringo Vinda as a warning, plus 5s risking it all just to be heard! And the Jedi made nothing of his sacrifice.. Like I already said on this channel, Yoda, "passively" surrounded the galaxy to the Sith because the light was too dominant and so creating imbalance.. Yoda brainwashed the entire order all these years long, telling them to just, "trust in the force" while shit was happening all around.. As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't put the blame on the Clones or the Separatists for that matter.

  • @istoppedcaring6209
    @istoppedcaring6209 Рік тому +1

    Kenobi capturing the seperatist commander maks 0 sense though, 1 the jedi were diplomats for generations at that point, they were well versed in that role and a flag of truce is sacred for straightforward reasons, betray it once and your oponent wil never again agree to parley,
    same with Anakin ramming a venator into an enemy lucrehulk, the dude did so under a white flag,
    the jedi betrayed the most simple rules of diplomacy, they broke what is essentially intergalactic laws and codes to steal a quick victory, the confederacy somehow didnt really do that, they comitted more atrocities but still they didn't betray diplomatic law

    It's not like he had a choice in the matter, it's like taking a back seat while someone else commits the act. With the clones slowly coming to realise the order was dishonest.
    It's also why the empire wanted them gone is because there's a order to take out the emperor. It's a huge liability when someone can just boardcsst the order to them

  • @landonletterman831
    @landonletterman831 Рік тому

    Personal theory:
    Using the force is two sides to the same coin. Independent sides, both different, but sharing many similarities as well as differences.
    Like drawing to deeply in the dark side will cause disfiguration (either from constant use, or from the universe falling in line to liberate you from your lower jaw or ability to breath). So, then, what would be the penalty for a Jedi drawing too deeply in the light (like Obi-Wan escaping that hole, and beating Vader)?
    The dark side disfigures, the light side ages
    It's what makes long lived species of alien (Yoda, Wookies, that one Hutt) particularly powerful Jedi. They've got years to burn.
    It's why Obi-Wan ages so drastically in the relatively short time between fighting Vader and setting Luke on his path.

    Cody is a truly special clone, one who is overpowering his chip's control as time goes on, even maintaining special designs and his armour/equipment layout, when many other clones simply went default, white with standard armour/equipment. It seems all those clones who maintain colour or customization, seem to be less effected by the chip, having some sort of their own choice in things, could use Howzer as an example in Season 1 of the Bad Batch. I have always hated Cody's future in Legends, where he remained under the chips influence and went on to live a boring life training future storm troopers. I am quite excited to see how Cody's Canon story will develop, as I always hoped he would walk away from the empire, and maybe help fight against them. Here is hoping we see more of Cody in the coming episodes of The Bad Batch and not simply be done with him now, since there is so much more we want to know about Cody and what he will do now that he went AWOL.

    I’m sure he does regret it, even if that order 66 branded Kenobi as a traitor he was still his friend, it doesn’t make the pain of losing him any better it just runs the order and the words “good soldiers follow orders” through his mind every time he tries to work against the chip.
    And we saw his influence as the negotiator on his friend as he Cody attempted to negotiate and diplomatically resolve a solution instead of just gunning his opponent down we saw how Kenobi’s influence had on his friend turned him into a better bitter Clone stuck serving the Empire.
    If that wretched tumor in his head was not there and Cody was given a chance and a choice to go AWOL and just leave the empire he would’ve taken that chance. But be at as it may because of the tumor he has no choice, he even complained about the difference between a droid and a clone is that they could think independently but now with this control chip the distinction between the two of them no longer seems as broad as much as it is now blurred.
    Just like the droid armies they fought and faced have been shut down and no longer produced the clone factories on Kamino have been destroyed and no more clones are being made or produced they’re outdated and old phased

    I think this proves my belief that the inhibitor chips are starting to fail or the clones are adapting to their influence. we saw it with captain Howzer and half his men and now with Cody. it was stated earlier in the episode some cones are starting to go awol and question their orders. This takes place about what, a year and change after order 66 was initiated, and all the clones were completely brainwashed and obedient at the time it was ordered. but I don't think the chips were designed to function long term after order 66 is activated. just long enough for palatine to have all or most of the jedi killed and have the clones secure his rule over the galaxy without question long enough to rebuild the republic army into his vision of the imperial army. Now that expiration date on the chips is rearing its head, the chips aren't as effective, and a bunch of the clones are slowly but surely gaining their senses back and questioning wether what they did and what they’re doing is right?
