I think Fordo represents what I think good clone troopers would really be like. He makes wise tactical decisions, understands the nuances of the battlefield, and is proficient in all combat methods (as someone who has studied and trained in the art of war since birth would be). I am actually glad this character was left in Legends. So many characters have been messed up or just dumbed down that by leaving him behind, he stays a powerful legend.

I act like the stuff regarding Clones and non force users from the micro series is still canon, which certainly isn't impossible, while stuff regarding the Jedi is legends, actual legends even, like witnesses to events the Jedi take part in or just imagine how it went exaggerate the story more and more as it's told, thus why the Jedi seem ultra powerful and everything.

Captain Fordo was amazing the first time I saw him in the Animated Series, and started my long standing love of the Specialist Clones that took nods from the Mandalorians, both ARC troopers and Clone Commandos. It's only a shame we never got to see Fordo without his helmet... I wonder what he looked like... ;)
No, I’m guessing that, based on the closing statements from our host, he retired about halfway from where the facility/shield-gate was located to enjoy his retirement & such, Jonathan Peek…
I LOVE the fact that the Muunilinst 10 are a nod to the real life equivalent: MACV-SOG, a Branch of the CIA that conducted missions into vietnams tripple canapé jungles. Sabotage, recon and hostage rescues were their deal. Though their casualty rates (WIA and KIA) over 100% show that they regularly fought units (Vietcong) up to 100x bigger than their own. Building bunkers with enemy bodies, claymores strapped to their chests, picking up enemy weapons. They fought up to entire regiments if they were unlucky. See J Stryker Meyer aka "tilt" for more.
I’m waiting for a fully fledged clone wars game that allowed you to fight like the galactic conquest mode from original battlefront 2 but more developed. Can you imagine having a role play game where you can chose to be a Jedi and or a clone or maybe swap between them. Would be one of the coolest games going with how cool the clone wars actually are
Ill be honest i was a kid when the prequels came out, and seeing the massive armies fight were way more attractive than the OT which changed as i got older. But the animated series was something new, to me it was the best starwars media. It was awe inspiring seeing the amazing ARC captain handling any situation like it was a piece of cake. I dont care how people feel about the prequels, but you cannot deny how good the animated series was.
2nd Fordo was the most badass clone ever in my opinion. But- he was in a show that was drawn and it would be to hard to catch his action in the Clone wars.
I didn't exactly retire until the Empire came into being. They asked me if I wanted to replace Fox when he was killed, but I declined and I retired officially.
