      Sometimes it’s necessary for the plot and nobody but like 1 or 2 crazy people will actually give shit, those times I think it’s entirely justified, other times it wouldn’t have affected the plot and it’s just the animators being lazy, this I think is kinda garbage, but also like cmon it didn’t ruin the show by any means and for 99.9% of people it means literally nothing but probably more sleep for the animators

      I don't mind it that much. Instead what annoys me is the bad sense of scale. On one hand everything is really big with huge scales but at the same times everything is very small with small scales.
      Take the conquests if Geonosis. Geonsis has a population of 100 billions. They are a very militaristic and are supported by a huge amount of droids.
      When we see the infiltration of one of the factories in episode 2 it looks like it produces at minimum 1 battle droid a second. That is a minimum of 86 thousand drones per day. They have 7 factories like this on the planet so minimum 600 thousand new battle drones every day. Not counting the B2 and other drones.
      In total Geonosis is looking at several tens of billions of defenders.
      But because the republic wins one battle with 200k clones they now suddenly occupies the entire planet. Until almost a year later.
      With the scales of star wars a realistic occupation of Geonosis would entail an invasion of many billions of clones and years of fighting until victory.

    I think the worst example for me comes in S2 Ep9, conveniently this also applies to the 212th Legion (guess Kenobi is just hiding his men above until they’re on screen). They were doing so well with having 3 men alongside Cody to keep Grievous from escaping the ship, with 2 of them dying which is perfectly represented in the shots with that sole reg being alive… Until they board into Anakin's shuttle, where that clone suddenly disappears as they’re getting on board even though he's there for the outside shot.
    Where did he go?! Is he safe? Is he alright…?

    Every clone has a HUD in their helmet that gives readouts on their vitals and other important data and they are able to sync their HUDs with other clones so Cody would have been able to tell that Longshot was dead the moment his vitals dropped and Obi-Wan knows Cody well enough to likely know that if Cody isn't checking the downed trooper than that trooper is dead.

    it's also real fun when a math problem is retroactively created, like with what happened with The Clone Wars movie and the Obi-Wan show, in the film Rex and a few unpainted 501st clones are captured by and later make a final stand against a droid unit at the Teth monestary until they are rescued by Cody and the 212th, by the end of the fight all but Rex and a single 501st trooper are killed, season 7 implied that surving 501st trooper was Ridge, who was namedropped earlier in the film, but the release of the Obi-Wan show saw the reintroduction of Nax into canon as the homeless 501st veteran as confirmed by a visual guide, which mentions that Nax was part of the Battle of Teth (like in the film's novelization where he originally appeared), which retroactively makes the movie's math wrong, as now there are 3 501st survivors, Rex, Ridge and Nax, despite the film only showing 2, any additional generic clones are just 212th troopers that came with Cody.

    13:39 When Krell says "We will attack them with all our force", he's talking about the final attack on the capital. Anakin's plan, that Rex tried to persuade Krell into following was to split up the 501st into multiple squads, which would've approached and attacked the capital on different routes from the same general direction. Krell refused to split his forces, opting to lead the entire battallon along the same route, so that they are together when they reach the capital, and thus attack it from one place with all their forces.
    He was not talking about attacking the road with everything they had, because they didn't even know there were Umbaran forces stationed nearby. Rex's squad went-in with the intention of secureing the road, so that the entire battallion can march along it towards the capital.

    I will say sometimes a character being absent in a shot where they should be, can be due to limitations with the character model, the most noticeable example is after Fives' death, where the shock troopers take off their helmets and stand in a circle around Anakin, Rex and Fives, in that shot Commander Fox is noticeably absent, which is most likely due to Fox never being given a helmetless appearance, always being shown with his helmet on, additionally most clone officers are given something unique about their head, especially if they are a reoccurring character, it's likely that they didn't feel that one scene at the VERY end of a single episode was enough justification to create a unique head for Fox, especially since as far as what publicly available information there is, that episode was his final appearance in the show, so they just opted to intentionally leave him out. unrelated but the clone killed alongside Denal is named "Koho"

    Speaking of clone wars problems, the republic military structure is so wacky. They have the rank of commander, a naval rank, in the army and are missing so many regular army ranks such as colonels, 2nd lieutenants, and most NCO ranks. Worse still, they can’t make up their minds on how the structure actually works, having a captain leading an entire legion, (which was about 8,000 men), yet having a commander, who is higher ranking than a captain, leading a battalion (according to Wikipedia being between 300 and 1200 men).

    TCW is guilty for a lot of these types of mistakes.
    They say stormtroopers have bad aim but neither the clones or the droids are better in the show. You just see them firing at eachother from 30 meters and no one seems to hit anything, especially when both are in large numbere and out in the open.
    At the time of the making of these episodes, the lore was to some extent more respected than nowadays so it would make sense for Obi-Wan not to care about clones dying because they were made to be expendable.
    Military tactical and strategical elements are often ignored in order to show a flashy frontal charge which shouldn't even work in the first place or some "clever trick" (war crime) that gives the republic the victory.
    And I didn't even talk about how much continuity it broke even before Disney bought the franchise.

    This is my favorite video ever.

I also thought I was the only one who had an unexplained obsession with Denal and his disappearing markings so I'm so glad to finally see him finally get some acknowledgment
    7:25 I think the only example when that didn't happen is in the S2 arc where an admiral (he wasn't a clone so I don't remember his name), Commander Ponds, and another clone were kidnapped by Aurra Sing. She murders Ponds but the random clone does get to live. I found it so surprising

    Tho one has to say:
    Seeing those regular Clones as expandables was actually a whole Part of the Show itself.
    Showing that Clonetroopers were used as canonfodder by a regime which actually saw them as expandable, with caring Generals Like ObiWan or Skywalker being the exception.
    Turns out that a lot of clones didnt feel guilty during Order66, as they were aware of their supposed Worth in the Eyes of the Jedi.
    (Which was actually portrait in the Old StarWars Battlefront II Campaign or the Republic Commandos Storys)
    I like to see this as a way of cinematic means, as I think the Clones themselves told the Storys of the Clonewars.
    So whenever they faced Combat, nobody was exactly sure How many of their Clone comrades were actually still alive or even present when a firefight took Place.
    But thats Just my own humble opinion.
    Edit: Well okay ObiWan does not really care about Clones ngl

    Then all you have to do is rewatch and mentally edit out those deaths to see the brutal remorseless one-sided slaughter that the Clone Wars was!

    a lot of episodes did basically feel like there was a quantum number of clones present at any given moment depending on how many it should feel like there are in a given scene, which works in big setpiece battles like point rain with massive formations shifting around and mixing together, but not so much in these three where you take a very finite amount of troopers into a limited space
    actually, that’s an interesting idea. there’s often some very large supplier of droids for any given scene, like a base or an MTT or a massive background army, but how many issues like this are there with droids when there isn’t supposed to be an infinite number of them that can fill in?

      Unsurprisingly this isn't true. Voice acting, particularly in videogames and animation, is almost always done last or otherwise near the end of a project. The production wants to spend as little as possible, and VAs are one of the biggest costs proportionally. So, they wait until the end when the plot is more finalised and unlikely to see major changes that require new voice lines. Additionally, they aim to do as few lines being cut as possible, again so that paid-for lines aren't wasted.
