"make a disease to kill all the clones"
There is a The Clone Wars arc about exactly that
and in Canon Legends
If you're referring to the Blue Shadow virus that literally kills everyone
and if you're reffering to Tup's inhibitor chip malfunction, Palps was lying when he said that a parasite caused it; Tup just had a malfunction
Hard Contact goes about it too.
@@exiledhelljumper452 no, it was the episode in which the separatist invaded Kamino, because they went there to either kill every clone, or grab a dna sample, and make a virus that could kill all clones. Thankfully, Anakin was able to stop ventress from getting a dna sample, and the droids were defeated.
On the matter of the camo, the Empire heavily used the "Tarkin Doctrine" while fighting the rebels. The Tarkin Doctrine emphasized psychological warfare, which is why they don't use camouflage and their vehicles aren't all that practical. They want to spread fear and panic in their enemies by making their forces as intimidating as possible. Their vehicles are tall and legged to make them more imposing, and their soldiers are equipped in identical white armor to both obscure their humanity and ensure that the enemy is well aware of just how badly they're out numbered. This wasn't a strategy meant to fight an even comparable force, it was designed to break rebellions and intimidate would-be agitators into keeping their heads down. Those who cannot be lulled into complacency must be suppressed through fear and terror.
I hope he reads this as it perfectly explains the Empire's tactical flaws. It's an excellent writing tool for correcting mistakes of previous films or even straight up justifying the aesthetic, George used it for both.
Also why they wasted so many resources on massive capital ships, when smaller frigates and light cruisers Would've been more practical, and flexable.
Actually it doesn't explain why the empire uses big ships. The large ships are infact perfectly practical for destroying enemy capital/big ships. And the empire (as stated in episode 4 dialogue) think small ships are obsolete, which is a tacitcal thinking the rebels try to exploit and it gets them a pyrrhic victory. But the rebels clearly agree with the big ships are needed as they build their own by episode 6.
and then everything not made by lucas forgets this and makes bombers and fighters op. Even in episode 6 it's the rebel big ships that defeat the super star destroyers by taking down its shields not bombers. Fighters/bombers only work against the death stars with pyrrhic loses and even then deathstar 2 needed its shields taken down by infantry first. Bombers in the OT were useless.
On the other hand, stormtroopers are more likely than not, incapacitated from being hit with a blaster bolts.
@@cryptosporidium1375 Actually, the armor does a pretty good job of protecting Storm Troopers from most infantry blasters. It dissipates the energy of the blaster bolt over their entire body, which overloads their nervous system and knocks them out, but leaves them largely unharmed.
you are very correct about you adding on to reactions whenever i watch you i find myself actually caring for what you say because it makes sense and that’s rare for reactors
Funny part about Badger's complaint at 22:56, the original Battlefront II gave heroes a timer bar that took damage normally, but also constantly drained. Killing enemies and generally supporting the team would add to the remaining time.
This right here is called good game design. If someone was a hero character for the entire game I was ok with it because that guy would be doin work. God I miss original battlefront 2
@@DarkCrimsonBlade the servers for it are back. Return to it on pc
In addition, hero spawns were on a timer. Default was 90 seconds, so when a hero died, it was 90 seconds until they spawned again. You could also set who first gets offered the hero. I personally liked to set it to worst player, so whoever was having a bad game could come in and rampage with lightsabers for a bit.
@@tadferd4340 Same. I feel like that's a good way of doing it, in terms of fun. Balance or practicality? Maybe not, but I liked the idea of the guy who was having a really bad game getting to tear up with Vader or something.
Storm Troopers aren't clones, the only cannon clone troopers still in the Empire by the time of the Battle of Hoth are the 501st Vader's Fist, everyone else is volunteers. Than we got the Imperial Army which we see in Solo, who are basically the standard grunts. Storm Troopers are basically the elite crop reaped from them. The only other clones that were still in service from the Clone Wars were either being out serviced or put into the Dark Trooper experiments.
This isn't important or adds anything to the conversation, just star wars lore, since I'm tired of people saying Storm Troopers are clones. They're not, they're people. They have families, parents, homes, beliefs, fears, emotions, children. Sure their faceless and have no identity, but if you look at a line up of today's soldiers, soldiers from any nation you really don't see anything special or different about them, they're all the same in the structure they serve under.
Though to be fair genetic targeted diseases were one of the reasons that they stopped using clones.
@@bryanwills6688 Also the fact they age much faster than a standard humanoid. Rex was in his late twenties to early thirties by the end of the clone wars, sure he lived to the end of the galactic empire but not every clone was that fortunate.
literally just give every single modern soldier a closed helmet,no fucking difference
@@Lord-Wheatabix And also lest we forget Palpatine wanted full control and the Kaminoan cloners would've ironically been his greatest threat since they have the technology to enhance/add anything they wanted to the Clone troopers.
Werent stromtroopers kidnapped children that were indoctrinated?
I think what confuses a lot of people about Jedi's using lightsabers against laser guns, is that everyone forgets Jedi weren't meant to be a fighting force. Their main goal was to keep the peace, not be generals.
That’s the case for the modern Jedi Order, but the original Je'Daii were a lot more bloodthirsty. They were in constant combat thanks to the Sith order having their own council and dozens of members. So the original goal was to eradicate the Sith, which eventually turned into being peacekeepers after the Sith were seemingly destroyed.
We Mandalorians have buck shot for a reason 😆
It also helps that blaster bolts are large enough, and slow enough that even non jedi can see and potentially block a few shots. Now if the empire went old school with something big bad and belt fed like a SAW or a ma duex, the jedi might fare so well.
Ironically this same mindset is why Imperial gear and tactics got worse than Clone Wars stuff. They're not a tactical masterpiece because they aren't built to be fighting a war - they're meant to oppress a galaxy of civilians.
@@proudpapaprick Well apparently despite their appearance, everything the Empire has is more powerful than any Clone Wars era equipment. However the modularity of said equipment is basically next to nothing, unlike Clone Wars equipment which was capable of quite a bit of modification allowing weapons to serve multiple roles rather than just one. But the training is definitely where there’s a stark contrast, Stormtrooper training is pathetic when compared to the gruelling training that Clones went through just to become Shinies. ARC Trooper training would’ve been even more intense.
32:18 In the animated Clone Wars show there's a Clone who runs out of ammo and punches a battle droid... He fucking yells in pain, grabs his hand, and gets shot in the face. So yeah, I'd imagine it ain't that effective.
The bravest of them all
Better to go out fighting than get executed by a clanker
Clone who punched a droid is the single greatest star wars character.
Yeah but then there’s the one that throws hands with a droid on utapau and scraps it. Not to mention the absolute mad lad that punches grievous in the face and lives to tell about it.
@@Giddog40 If that man could have kids they'd be given a real story
The Vietcong adequately demonstrated that primitive technologies were effective against modern military forces trying to engage in infantry battles, and the Empire was not prepared for the Ewoks beyond building a bunker.
My grandfather also told stories of how the US hired... I don't think he actually called them 'pygmies' but I'm drawing a blank as to what they were actually called, so I'll just use that term for now. Basically, his story was that the US encountered these tribals somewhere in the Pacific, who were short, but REALLY good at maneuvering, tracking, and hiding in jungle terrain. He said they were terrifyingly effective, so much so that the US actually hired them to help deal with the Japanese during WWII by paying them with foodstuffs like rice to go on manhunts and clear out bunker and tunnel complexes. He said they had a penchant for cutting off heads as proof of their kills to US soldiers, and they had a really nasty trick of using starved rats to flush out caves and stuff where the Japanese soldiers were hiding. By the time he arrived in the Pacific, it was Vietnam, but he heard the horror stories of what these 'pygmies' could do, and during his time the US was essentially hiring them to train soldiers in how to survive and remain hidden in jungle environments. He described them as natural boogeymen, able to vanish into the trees and bushes and appear without a sound, and how they would routinely mess with the soldiers they were training by walking away and then suddenly sneaking up on them and grabbing their shoulders, or stare directly at them and waving at them while they thought they were concealed. He also said that they had sharp noses, so one of the first things he was taught was how to hide his scent, and then he had to manage to last a whole night of hide and seek with them without getting caught more than twice. He said one of the worst experiences in his life was when he tried to hide in a tree and had to relieve himself after a few hours, only for one of them to suddenly appear below him and start singing in broken English 'Oh, GI peeing in the trees!' over and over again while he circled it before pointing him out and taking one of the tags they used to keep score.
It'd been like... 40 years or so since my grandfather had that experience, and I think I heard him tell the story like... 10 years ago myself, but it's kind of stuck with me.
Well, that all just go to show that The Empire's goal on whateverthefuckthatplanet'scalled is completely detached from any sort of realistic would-be results. They weren't trying to pacify the ewoks, or uplift them. Even with plain ol' turbolasers they could have scoured the planet down to bedrock. It's all about plucky underdogs and selling merchandise, really. Can't blame Lucas for make the story and characters as it was, but you really can't glean operational data from the Rebels or the Empire. God forbid you try and do that with the House of Mouse's movies.
@@axelord4ever fun fact: originally, the Ewoks didn't existed, it was on this movie that Lucas wanted to introduce the Wookies and have a massive ground battle, something fit for the grand finale of a space fantasy, but the budget and special effects wouldn't allow for something that huge, so he decided to turn the Wookies into Ewoks ( they even have a similar name ) and moved that battle to the prequel trilogy.
@@danielm.595 Also fun fact
Return of the Jedi was a subtle dig at Vietnam (the empire representing the American empire)
(The rebellion well Viet Cong
The NVA and vietcong effectively took advantage of the US military being very limited in how far they could go to win. Had the US really wanted to eradicate the NVA we would have invaded but we didn't because we didn't want Korean War part 2 where we end up fighting China again. While they had skilled jungle fighters so did the US.
We lost half our aircraft we sent there because they had current tech to counter us, supplied by Russia and china.
The disparity in technology and capabilities are IMMENSLY larger in Star Wars though, and unlike with Vietnam, the Empire has no investments or political climate keeping them from doing whatever they want in response to the resistance. There's no reason they wouldn't immediately bomb the entire forest from orbit at the first sign of trouble, the whole planet is completely uninhabited as far as the empire is concerned. (Not to mention the numerous combat vehicles they have that should be entirely immune to anything the baby cavemen with sticks and rocks could ever do. That one shot of an AT-ST getting crushed between two logs is a complete joke, it's as if two horses could crush a tank between them.)
The game mode that you mentioned is Ewok Hunt. Basically its an infected style game mode. One or two people start as Ewoks, the rest are Stormtroopers. The Ewoks want to kill all the Stormtroopers, making those they kill into an Ewok as well, while the Stormtroopers are trying to survive and be evacuated.
That... So Ewoks are zombies now?
@@brigidtheirish Probably not, but more like serial killers if you wanna view the Ewoks as such from that Star Wars fan film about a stormtrooper that's stuck on Endor and is being hunted by them.
@@WildDancer101 They do seem to practice some sort of sentient being sacrifice, given their introduction in Return of the Jedi. It's the 'turning stormtroopers into Ewoks' part that's weirding me out.
@@brigidtheirish More like those Stormtroopers are dead while more Ewoks are allowed to join in on the hunt, at least in universe.
@@WildDancer101 That would make more sense. But the actual mechanics as you described them... yeesh.
Droid being anti-organic (I prefer the term "meatophobic") is like, actually a thing in starwars. Take HK-47, he makes his disdain of what he calls "meat-bags" VERY clear.
Tbf, if you were essentially a sapient being and every other sapient being of your kind was being enslaved and regularly mindwiped to ensure obedience, would _you_ not call your slavers some slurs?
They are not sapient tho
@@matthiuskoenig3378 Most of the human torso size and up actually are though? You trying to claim that iq 80 human being aren't sapient as well?
Or i guess it might be better to say that before Disney they were? Majority of the size category i mentioned above were sapient, or well, capable of _forming_ sapience if not for regular mindwipes
Lore wise, the reason why tge tech in Star Wars is so weirdly stilted is because they're half cargo cult. They have discovered blueprints for things from the Infinite Empire, but know neither how it works, or how to make it better. Their hyperdrives are black boxes, and they can't program anything. They literally just plug a seed AI into every computer and hope it works.
OOOOOHHHHH
....
you know I bet 40K also stole this like they did everything else
@@deamonrodriguez7032 not most known fact about Star wars.
The Falcon sure looks like it's held together with duct tape and prayers.
@@deamonrodriguez7032 Unfortunately, when it comes to fiction there's not much originality in any popular work. The funny, or sad part is the hypocrisy of Games Workshop suing people over their IP, being built off the backs of every other franchise and all.
Goddammit. Just like the covenant. They could literally break apart planets with the cannons they use to glass said planets, but because they don't actually know how to program the beams glassing is all they can manage.
On the matter of "dumping prisoners of war on an isolated planet", the rebels actually did that. They didn't have facilities to keep that many prisoners, so the ones they couldn't support, they'd give them all the resources they would need to set up a self sustaining colony and then just dump them on a habitable, unpopulated planet where they can't escape and the Empire can't find them.
I mean, at least the rebels wanted them to survive. The Empire would just execute all prisoners.
@@GetDougDimmadomed Arguably more economically and securely viable.
I hear what you're saying about mistakes that can throw your life into the gutter. My adoptive father, the man I call my dad, has a felony conviction and even now 2 decades later, 5 great kids and a loving wife, a hard as nails worker, he still barely makes above state minimum wage in WA. This is in spite of going to college and trying to get his life back. The system just seems designed to keep kicking him and kicking him.
Instead of needlessly ranting and attempting to educate about Star Wars lore like everyone else seems to be doing, ima just point out that Battlefront 2 is honestly one of the best casual shooters ever made.
Did it _start out_ that way? Hell no, but after EA left it alone, the state the developers left it in is honestly a near perfect game. It's not underappreciated, either.
This. 100% this. I still play it, and judging by how quickly I can get a game going, lots of others are too.
Yup. Battlefront 2 is a veeeery solid game now
Night vision exists in the star wars universe, but since they had to outfit millions of soldiers in identical kit they had to cut costs everywhere they could, and the soldiers paid the price with sub par gear. I wonder what modern military does that...
Every modern military does that, however the best troops get the best gear cause they are more reliable
The gear was horrid for large scale combat.
No camo, the armor incapacitated the user instead of stopped blaster bolts, the weapons were nerfed, the training nutered for control, the helmets had intentionally poor visibility, was cheaply made, designed for intimidation rather than practicality, dear god it sucked.
The stormtroopers weren't incompetent, but literally everything was working against them.
26:00 that's exactly what happened in the Prequels, Palpatine created the Clone Wars, made the galaxy a very unsafe place, gave himself a lot of power, and when the war was over he promised a "safe and secure future" so he was chosen as Emperor
Sounds a lot like America with the current regime.
“I love the idea that robots are super racist to flesh people”
HK-47: meatbag
The thing with Force Choking, it was never actually meant for combat. Vader actually does use it as an interrogation technique the first time it's shown, and for every time after that he's mostly using it for intimidation, whether against his own commanders or enemies. It's not actually a battlefield thing.
Also, for all the prequels' flaws, the baseline story was that even with all these designated heroes and all the special powers, they all got complacent and inflexible, expecting the same tactics from the enemy as before, and they ended up failing utterly, and evil won out.
So basically the Jedi didn't abuse their abilities because certain abilities required being on the light or dark side. They called themselves peacekeepers and were basically a cult.
Choking and lightning are dark side and were generally forbidden by their faith. Except in one case where someone was able to use a weaker version like a taser by focusing on it like he was cramming for a final.
Also, being so hard on their beliefs lead to a handful of Jedi leaving the order. Anakin's apprentice, her friend, another important guy form the clone Wars, and someone who tried to just leave but was arrested for doing so.
In some cases, sith who turned to the light side could keep their abilities from the dark side. I think one was in KOTOR.
44:50 Funnily enough, this is how the Inheritance saga did it. Eragon, the protagonist, learns that he can use magic via the use of the language of magic (e.g. by saying the word "Break!" in that language), and his first attempts at using this magic are very simple and unrefined. E.g. "Break!" to break an enemy's shin bone, which costs the equivalent magical energy to severing the bone with force. However, as he learns more and more refinement of his skills and is taught by the Elves, he learns the so-called "Twelve Words of Death" which are words like "Sever" and "Cut", which he can employ with precision to sever nerves, arteries, etc. all without expending more energy than lifting a pen. That's pretty much what you describe with the "Dead!", "Dead!", "Dead!" at the wave of a finger.
God I miss Eragon. Has Paolini released the fifth book yet?
Gotta say, I dislike most reaction channels as they only react with some laughter and a joke, but damn do I get some good insights on warfare and lifestyle, this will help me tremendous in my dungeons and dragons games!
This game had a hell of a redemption
Red Dead redemption
It was, until EA cut support. The game was always good, but was shot in the foot by EA.
There's a clip from a TV show where a clone punches a droid. He screams and holds his hand before getting shot.
I think it was from the clone wars “movie”
And in the same film, a clone tried to punch a super battle droid, but then it just grabbed him and shot him.
"[Luke] couldn't fuck this up if [he] tried"
he lost an arm
To the second most powerful guy in the galaxy, give him a break lol
@@Native_Beats_ that's kind of my point
I always love hearing what you have to share on any topic. Wish more of us had even half of your confidence and insight. Hope you and anyone who sees this is doing well, bless.
P.S. Robots will totally be terrified by shutdown sounds, it's like hearing the bell toll when the bell tolls for thee.
The super soldier clones commentary. After the clone wars, and the start of the empire, the stormtroopers who were clones started having normal humans fill their ranks because of reasons. One being that disease concern. That was even a plot point in The Clone Wars series.
But yeah, stormtroopers ended up being not clones as the clones aged out.
Also. The empire seemed human supremacists with a (light) tolerance for off color humans (Thrall ect.)
32:18 Phase one clone armor actually had to be redesigned because clones in the early clone wars would just try and punch the droids :) Hence the change from Attack of the Clones to Revenge of the Sith style clones.
Oh yeah that poor bastard in the clone wars movie
31:10 Also I'm pretty sure the original trilogy had actual WW2 guns dressed up as blasters because they were easy to get as props. The E-11 blasters the Stormtroopers have were famously known to be Sterling SMGs and the ones the rebels had were StG-44s.
Yeah it was very cheap
And the aesthetics were on point
From what I remember of the lore the evoks are super strong so their Rocks that they throw have some real weight also they ate every imperial soldier left on their planet after the battle and kylo ren's broadsword lightsaber is technically an improvement when compared to a Normal lightsaber we thinking of it as a sword (note finger and hand protection is always important)
Until he absentmindedly tilts his hand 10 degrees and finds himself short of a hand. Only an absolute idiot would make a cross guard out of something that instantly kills or incinerates anything it touches, he's infinitely more likely to end up touching it then anyone else is ever gonna be.
@@officiallyjan8596 I mean, that applies to Lightsabers in general. And even if you want to be the most nitpicky about non-standard saber design, it's still infinitely smarter than the saberstaff, which is basically "All the reasons double-bladed weapons weren't ever a major thing, made worse."
@@officiallyjan8596 did you forget that most people who use lightsaber also use the force? Which alerts them if they're about to be harmed, so Kilo is using the force unconsciously, or even consciously, to not slice his hand off.
I do genuinely enjoy your react videos. You popped up in my recommended for mikeburnfire's campfire stories, and now I'm consistently waiting for you to put out the next vid on mikeburnfire or TheRussianBadger.
You do a solid af job of reacting, and I appreciate that. Keep it up!
There are multiple things wrong with "just using the Force to instakill everything".
First, the Empire only has 2 proper Force users in canon - Vader and Palpatine (and they are sith, not jedi). Vader is only deployed when it hits the fan and Palpatine is the emperor, he wouldn't risk it. Second, usage of Force requires serious mental and physical strain on the body of the user, which is why Vader limits himself to simply choking one (multiple in-game) people at once. Targeting a vital organ with the Force requires intensive training, immense focus and endurance to do it multiple times. It would work, but even a beast like Palpatine wouldn't be able to do that all the time, and considering rebels come in huge numbers that would be ineffective. Lastly, back in the Republic Era, jedi were a thing, but their stagnant code of conduct didn't allow them to practice offensive uses of the Force because they're "peacekeepers, not soldiers" and doing so would lead to Dark Side, aka they had a Geneva Convention of their own
You are trying to force your own logic unto something that defies logic and does not require it to work.
@@fredwin sure, because apparently lore of Star Wars is just a myth and shouldn't be believed within confines of Star Wars universe, right?
@@jpjfrey5673 I'm just saying that you, as a fan, care more about the lore and making the story work for you than the creators or anyone in control of the IP does.
@@fredwin sure because the creators didn't have that same intention when *writing it,* right?
What the hell are you talking about? The creators *made* this logic, I'm explaining that it exists. If you refuse to accept it, you might as well not discuss it
@@jpjfrey5673 Excuse me? You think a logical story is what George Lucas intended to set out and write? The story isn't intended to mage logical sense, it doesn't even work on its own backwards logic. You're attributing bits and pieces of lore created by hundreds of different authors to try and fill holes that were never meant to be filled. I'm not telling you you're wrong, I'm simply yelling you that you care more than George Lucas and certainly Disney probably ever did.
"...You have literal defector shields, you can't put a mini one on a cooling vent?"
Doesn't that nullify the purpose of a cooling vent, if you are just going to put something on top of it?
1:42
The ewoks are playable both in the special "survival/infection" mode and the normal game (when in the relevant time era) and honestly, they are the best to play. They have their spear melee which does a surprising amount of damage, and their bow kind of has two firing modes. A relatively weak 'quickfire' which has some lockon, and a fully charged shot, and there is no better feeling than putting an arrow through a Stormtrooper's helmet across the way.
Concerning what you said about the structure of the Empire, specifically for Palpatine and Vader, that’s how it’s supposed to be. The apprentice learns everything they can from their master, then they kill their master and take their place, getting a new apprentice who will then repeat the cycle over and over. This is actually quite effective when you’re not in an active full scale war.
Paul, if you wanna see regular everyday people in the star wars universe being actual heroes, i think you should watch "Rogue One"
I think that what Heavenly said about Darth Vader and Palpatine not being in the Empire was about Literally everybody else in the Empire but them. Because when you think about it, Emperor Palpatine is a Mastermind that Lead Both CIS and The Republic. And Darth Vader is also very smart, but goes for his emotions most of the time. While other people in the Empire are literally stupid most of the time.
But Very Good idea and commentary. Thank you
Well as long as grand admiral thrawn is alive he can rebuild the empire from basically nothing.
Well, the Zulu made the British military look like chumps for a while. With the Ewoks, they had the advantage of only dealing with a local garrison rather than the full might of the Empire.
No the didn't. The zulus raided a British camp while the actual British army was out looking for the zulus, and then almost lost to the relatively small number of men left as camp guards, loosing dozens of times the number of men the British did and even then only wining because the British were overconfident and deployed too far from their ammunition, so the men ran dry of ammunition and were overwhelmed by sheer numbers. And that was 1 single engagment. The same day the zulus were mascured by an even more heavily outnumbered British force at rorkes drift. And the following weeks had the zulus get their ass kicked over and over untill the British burnt down the Zulu capital and the Zulu king surrendered.
If by while you mean less than a day, then maybe. But I would not call that a while. And I contest they were made to look like chumps at all.
Except ofcaurse in the media, but the free press always exaggerates things because it makes them money.
38:28 if you like robots hating humans in Star Wars you would love HK-47 who literally refers to organics as meatbags
KotOR and KotORII are great games, but not really stream-worthy except maybe for the most hardcore of fans. Kinda sad because they are great games, and any publicity (even this late) would be deserved.
And i would like to point out, this game is genuinely good. I can tell that you only know the game from the disastrous launch. Literally all microtransactions are gone. I know this is an outside view into the game, but calling it bad really hurts. But i may be a massive baby, who knows.
Clone Troopers are all the same, but Stormtroopers aren't clones. The Empire dropped clones and started accepting Military Volunteers and conscripts for intentional genetic diversity
About shields on cooling and exhaust vents. Lore-wise, there are 2 types of shields: particle shields, and ray shields. The Death Star vent was ray shielded, but a particle shield would defeat the purpose of an exhaust vent.
Frank Sobotka said it best - 'We don't make shit anymore. We just put our hand in the next guy's pocket'.
But now it applies far beyond Baltimore.
I wonder what he would think about how the clone troopers were portrayed in the star wars the clone wars tv show, with them being more realistic/grounded in a sense.
Lol clones in clone wars are not realistic. You really think men born and raised to be nothing more than soldiers and genetically modified to be more compliant and then raised exaclty the same way, would magically develope massively divergant personalities? Nope. From what we are told in episode 2 the clone wars is unrealistic. Clones should be highly indoctrinated, highly opinionated, highly disaplined and highly conformist.
The Jedi were not allowed to kill with the force because of how they interpreted the will of the force, the Jedi carried Lightsabers because they needed a weapon that was symbolic of their tie to the light, as well as was defense based, and the ability to deflect blasters was perfect for them. Not to mention the crystals that powered the lightsabers were semi-sentiment and force sensitive, which made taking a life a big deal because every aspect of ot was felt through the force.
The game mode escape from Endor is basically you either spawn as a Ewok or a stormtrooper, as a stormtrooper you have to basically survive. While as an Ewok you have to ambush and attack the stormtroopers, every stormtrooper that dies will respawn as a Ewok. I think to win as a Ewok you have to kill all the stormtroopers and to win as the stormtroopers you either have to run down the timer or get to a extraction point or at least that’s what I think you have to do.
Stormtroopers aren't clones btw the clones got phased out very quickly the only ones that remained where the 501st
Lets be real. Kylo ren's sword is the best one in star wars canon. In a universe were hands get chop off all the time, having a crossguard is the best thing,and becouse they are also mini laser swords, they can be use to hurt your opponent in a lock.
I would agree with you, BUT the crossguard has a major weak point: the bases of the crossguards is not a laser, so it can be easily cut off and still do injuries on the poor, poor hands. Still, original and most importantly, cool has fuck! Have a great day man!
@@theenchantedstorm1878 I actually think they are, if Im not mistaken, kylos kiber crystal (probably butcher the name) is damage, so the side blades are there just to let the extra energy from the crystal out so that the saber doesnt overheat and explode. So the side blades and the main blade are one, thus, the bases in the side blades doesnt mean that there is not a "blade" umderneath. If anything, thats just better becouse it prevents the user to accidentaly slip his hand onto the side blades. (Yes.i like the word "blade")

The sequel trilogy isn’t a repeat of the original trilogy it was respectively
VII. A repeat of episode IV
VIII. An ungodly mess
And
IX. a dollar store bargain bin version of dark empire (an already controversial story)
You know, it’s funny that you mention the whole “engineer a disease to take out the clones” thing, because that actually happened in the first Republic Commando novel (Hard Contact), and kinda became an ongoing thing throughout the Republic Commando series. Unfortunately that whole series was airlocked into Legends, but one can only hope it comes back into canon someday.
To be fair about the Ewoks. them being anywhere else in the game isn't really meant to be canon. And both in the old and new canon books they actually assimilated pretty well into galactic society afterwards. Like in the old canon I remember seeing artwork of a bunch of Ewoks manning a New Republic AA emplacement and one of the new books has one that became a friggin hacker.
The only thing holding these fluffy fucks was the fact they only had rocks and wood to build shit with and it's kind of scary what they were able to do with just that anyway.
Honestly I'm fine with lootboxes, I'm mainly against predatory and mandatory lootbox systems. Genshin impact doesn't have mandatory lootboxes, but uses several techniques to find and make "whales their prey"
The thing about puns does that if it's bad you don't laugh at it LOL
Fun fact: In the old Star Wars lore, there were multiple attempts at biological warfare targeted at the clones.
46:00 “Let’s give our elite troops swords! Hi-yah!” Mans is forgetting those “swords” can cut through anything and deflect most forms of incoming fire, especially from blasters.
There is someone in Badger’s group that uses a soundboard!
He goes by Skulker. (Skulker has magenta text)
“Do we take prisoners?” “I don’t!” *BOOM*
Droids in star wars capture enemy troop for the same reasons Waring groups might IRL but also clones where used for some experiments, testing weapons and so on.
Kind of wish you'd react to the ARC troopers scenes from the original Clone Wars animated series.
The one that's a cartoon, not 3D animated.
Would actually be kind of cool to get your commentary on their general tactics
...minus the exaggerated quantity of just about everything.
I get the whole Pay to win hate but by the time he made this video the pay to win had effectively been taken out. All heroes are just free and the pay is just for cosmetics now
Doesn't take away from the fact that it was like that for a while
32:14 "Imagine being a dude that tries to punch out an armored robot."
This clip shows that result in all it's glory ua-cam.com/video/VnpeeIuohco/v-deo.html
I am once again asking for your support Paul. You gotta react to Sodaz Contact. It’s a stalker animation with some seriously good stuff, uniforms, guns. Supernatural bullshit. You’ll love it
The Empire was actually modeled after the US with references to that demonizeable iconic fascist dictator and the Rebels were modeled after the Viet Cong as the Vietnam War was happening while he was making the story. George Lucas said that himself in an interview before.
No? The Empire is based on Nazi Germanu
@@velphidrow8317 weapons wise, story wise not so much
@@lostkriegsguardsman8615 lmao whatm
@@velphidrow8317 George Lucas has literally said that the Vietnam War was an inspiration for both sides because it was going on while he was writing Star Wars.
@@shreddedninja remember he's a sociologist
He's probably a lot more left leaning than you think
You were an army officer. My uncle was an officer in the USAAF. I have a feeling that if I get you both to watch the Resistance Bomber scene from the sequels you'll both go spitting mad, lol
jedi dont use force choke and lethal force abilities and jedi don t fight rebels so they wouldnt be focusng bombs onto targets. also jedi and sith power levels vary most have trouble lifting more than a medium bolder and the whole point of the saber is that its meant to be a tool and last resort weapon. the jedi dont want to be frontline generals. they try to be explorers and diplomats hence why jedi discuss their particapation in the war and why they dont have standeradized uniforms and armor.
You should atleast watch Rogue One if you haven't, it's maybe the most realistic star wars war movie we are gonna get.
The technology in StarWars has been stagnating for thousands of years, almost as hard as the Warhammer imperium stagnation.
37:00 Funny thing is there's some people that believe Han Solo might have been secretly, and unknowingly, Force sensitive and that explains his 'luck'.
At 12:00 , that was actually a plot point IIRC in the later Legends EU books. Targeted at the Fett bloodline, so by extension all the clones that were still around, and their descendants.
45:40 We always forget that the Jedi are supposed to be Peace keepers and not Soldiers.
There's a line in star wars rebels where a battle droid says
"were taking hostages? We havnt done that since... wait have we taken hostages before?"
In some old TTRPG Books (The Star Wars Rpg 2nd Edition) Stormtrooper helmets did incorporate nightvision/thermals as well as integrated commlink and basic air filter
That has been made cannon in a Disney source book. But modified that not all units get the full range of kit in their helmets
Jango Fett wanted a son, so he asked the Kaminoans for one completely unaltered clone of himself so he could raise him. He then taught that little one everything he could until he died.
*That kid became the most feared Bounty Hunter in the Galaxy.*
Hey Paul, random-ass question, what are your thoughts on the self claimed "best light ground attack airplane" that is the A-29 supertucano?
it’s affordable?
In the ps2 battle front your hero was on a timer. More kills means more time, and this gave everyone a chance at playing the stage hero wether its Count Dooku, Obi-one, Darth Vader, or Jango Fett
On the job rant, I completely agree with you. I spent a decade on heavy meds dealing with some health issues and I couldn't work/study at all (was even internalized for like half a year in the beginning), now every time I apply for any job interview they just dump my CV in the garbage or expect me to work for free. And I'm talking bottom of the barrell entry jobs with a meagre salary even if paid in full (just enough to live by). So I just tried to contact the government to see if they could supply me with some help with this (we got socialized healthcare and programs to help reintegrate people into the workforce) and they literally told me that the issue is that I didn't work that decade and now I'm radioactive to all companies so get bent (with more polite words).
When I realized my government would help me more if I was an ex-con or a junkie I really was devastated. I just want to earn a living I'm not asking for much, just enough money that I can sustain myself monthly for literally any type of job (well I guess I didn't ask for jobs at the cementery or something gruesome lol). The fact that coof virus just added a couple more years on top of my garbage is probably gonna just drown me and I'm really worried about my future but you seriously hit the nail on the head, if you hit a bump you'll end up rolling downhill no return. I hope your friend is doing okay and he gets some luck his way.
“Russian badger isn’t selling you trash merch!”
Badger immediately sells his soul and any claim to being a creative for raid: shadow legends
Fun fact, in Star wars lore it was the republic that had a massive army of clone troopers that they could be mass produced to combat the separatist's droid army. It wasn't until after the clone wars that the republic became the empire and started phasing out clone troopers and enlisting its galactic citizens into it's army. So technically the storm troopers are all ethnically diverse as well, we just don't see that under all that badly armor as making them a faceless menace makes it easier to dehumanize them and make it easier to accept them as "the bad guys"
Shields interrupt heat dissipation, which is why cooling vents can't be shielded, or they simply won't work.
Actually, Death Troopers we’re elite soldiers. Their helmets were equipped with Night vision ad thermal vision ad had the ability to see through walls. They also had voice scramblers in their helmets do no one other than the men in their units could understand them. Not to mention heavy armor, lightweight blasters that were still menacing to go up against. And they were forcefully genetically enhanced to be cybernetic soldiers who were more robot than human
About that punching a armored robot point you mentioned in the Star Wars the clone wars series a clone ran up to that same droid and broke his hand hitting it
Stormtroopers are human conscripts, not clones. First SW movie didn't have the budget later movies would have, so using WW2 prop weapons as blasters was a way to save money.
It's worse then just copying the OT. Kylo is like the only good thing about those movies
It is not about the invitation anymore. It is about being an "expert in the field" and explain to old politicians how your changes to the industry helps them maintain power.
When it comes to adding to a reaction you’re honestly the best at it because some videos (like this one) you add 30 minutes of content to the added video
50:43 the canonical reason he has the two vents is because his Krystal and power source are unstable so he has to ent the energy to keep it from exploding basically
So if my memory is correct, in the Clone Wars the Separatist army was the Trade Federation, The Sith, and allied generals. The Trade Federation owned the Battle Droids and paid for them and the other droid units. So the droids were mostly under the command of a humanoid commander, or a Tactical Droid who was given orders from a Sith.
50:50 I doubt you'll see this but the reason he has little lightsaber things is that his kyber crystal is cracked, and those help his very unstable lightsaber from getting destroyed or really messed up
"The original trilogy's plot, wholesale, and reskinned it"
No, that was just TFA, which was already pretty dumb.
TLJ and TRoS are abominations. Like it's almost impressive that they are both almost equally terrible.
Somehow the last hour or so of Rogue One was cool, though.
I didn't mind TFA being a wholesale ripoff, considering that was the intention. It was just a stepping off point to soft reboot the franchise with new blood, I got that. What it paved the way for though, as you said, truly unforgiveable.
kills jedi with exploding shot "parry this you filthy casual" this is way too satisfying
Lmao I just graduated with a comp sci degree and I run a bar for a super fancy catering company. I code in like 4 languages and I’m spending my time pouring vodka sodas. I need to get back to looking for a job in my field.
i remember going to see the first of the new trilogy in theaters, i hadn't seen the original trilogy in maybe 10 years but watching the new one and just sitting there going "why does this seem so damn familiar" it wasn't until maybe a quarterish of the way in when it hit me "wait this is just the plot from the first star wars movies" and after that i could just start counting the story beats. It always seems so sad to me the star wars universe is literally an entire galaxy, so why does it always have to be the fate of the universe at stake why cant we just go over there and see what happening there.
The super disease with the clone troopers actually happened in the old expanded universe on mandalore forcing boba fett and all his kin to never step foot on it ever again.
To be honest, I've been watching our favourite MMA coffee addict because of the staff he adds. I have watched all the videos before he did react to those, but I just adore his opinions and reactions from the point of the person who's new to the thing. Remaining me of the time I was a newbie myself and was learning about all this stuff.
Also 29:10-29:26, the "Rule of Two"
A different way to look at competency and loyalty in authoritarian structures is that the biggest threats are from the inside so loyalty reduces the threat and incompetence can be assisted.
I like how this video become a rant about starwars.
Only just saw the thumbnail, that line would absolutely fit in a Badger video
11:38
Fun fact, the CIS actually tired doing this a few times to the clone army
