The fact that the clones were technically child soldiers is extremely overlooked but should've been explored in the show. They were physically in their mid-twenties by the end of the war but only 13 years old. Their mental immaturity isn't seen except in extreme cases like Wrecker.
It is seen though in a lot of cases. A lot of clones in the early stages of the war just charged the droids head on, even if they could have taken cover. In Bad Batch, this clone conspiracy episode had this one clone who was on Rampart´s ship when it destroyed Kamino. He wanted to confess to the senate and openly addressed his will to do so to Rampart. That´s pretty naive. Only a few examples but you get the idea.
Sure, there are very mature and battle hardened clones like Rex and Cody.
Jedi use Child soldiers themselves, they dont care
Lmao i felt i was the only one who felt that way whenever i see anyone reacting to clone wars on youtube i always fell compelled to mention that in their reaction videos
I always feel like it’s the heavy-weapons clones that have the most immaturity. Hevy, Hardcase, and of course, Wrecker being the most prominent
This is an extremely naive take.
Maturity is a result of upbringing and experience, not age.
It's why in 2024 we have a bunch of millennials who behave "like they're 12" at 35 years old.
And in 1800 12 year olds would have behaved "like they're 30"
I like the theory that the Kaminoans kept the Clone Army secret for so long because they didn't want their client, the Republic and by extention the Jedi, looking over their shoulder.
Now, Shaak Ti is there and they can't just kill off clones that are seen as failures.
Really makes you wonder how that hunchback clone got to be kept alive because he looks like an older gen clone.
@@MultiRokusho99
@@MultiRokusho he was probably examined and studied and then Shaak Ti shows up
@MultiRokusho It’s possible that one of the other mercenaries was able to keep the kaminoans from doing anything to him. Something similar happened in legends with Kal Skirata essentially adopting the Null arcs when the Kaminoans saw them as too imperfect to ever be soldiers. There's no reason to assume someone in canon didn't give 99 a similar form of kindness.
@@MultiRokushoI’m willing to bet Jango himself didnt let them kill 99.
She also has like the most on screen deaths. Stabbed by grevious, stabbed by anakin, bested by starkiller, and killed on kamino.
Yeah, the worf if you will. I remembered the many deaths of her and was like "dang they really didn't like her"
@@Matt-md5yt didnt like her or didnt know what to do with her
All cannon btw
Don’t forget the Lego ones too 😂
Plot twist, she cloned herself 😂
In Legends, the reason no Clone went to Shaak Ti's chambers was because none of them had the stomach to execute her. Before the Clone War, they caould bust a cap in any Jedi no problem. But Shaak Ti was like a mother they never had.
I was always under the impression that the clones had no choice but to kill the jedi - it was implanted in their brains
@johnnybaxter1953 Like they said, this was in Legends. Legends often portrays Order 66 as having either little or nothing to do with behavioral modification or inhibitor chips and instead being carried out simply as a result of loyalty to the Republic and sometimes animosity built up over the war at the Jedi due to them mostly not being used to being generals and usually being pretty bad commanders at first. Look at Star Wars Battlefront 2, the original one, in the Rise of the Empire game mode for examples of this. Like how the clones say they were glad they were wearing helmets when executing Aayla Secura because "none of us could bear to look her in the eye."
Just like Aalya Secura in Bf2 “It’s a good thing we were wearing helmets, because none of us could bare to look her in the eye.”
@@dr.veronica6155 I kind of like that explanation more tbh.. I think they just wanted to take away the clones agency because knowing that they chose to execute their orders instead of having no choice makes it a lot more tragic and sad. But it also makes it much more poignant
without the chip, 70% of clones would rebel against palpatine
It has to do with Shaak Ti's sense of empathy and compassion. It's easier for the Clones to respect her than it is for a Jedi like Mace Windu.
“She wasn’t repulsive to look at” might be the hardest line in a while
Giggity Giggity lol.
Ive seen some pictures you know something was too hard
Implying the Kaminoan women wouldn't be the throat goats of the galaxy. I'll take my giraffe gf, tym
@@huxleyableGAWK GAWK
In any sci-fi verse, anything human-oid will eat meat and muffin. Good god, we are perverts!
Not just Shaak Ti, but the other Jedi's who treated the clones are like parent figures to the clones.
Anakin was immature as well he acted like he was 9-10 instead of 19 years so that’s why I think he got along with Asoka plus the clones so wll
Not to mention the fact the clones were slaves & Anakin used to be one
Rex: hahah General Skywalker committed war crimes again good one General @@kittycat0876
@@kittycat0876 Yeah this was always weird for me. No slavery in the Republic except their army and everyone but Senator Chuchi was cool with that.
Jedi Master Shaak Ti is definitely one of my favorites of the Jedi Order. She just always seemed to have that vibe of discrete badass-ness. Even her name, to me, sounds like a stage name she adopted early in her life while performing as a Jedi-Gangster rapper.
"Villains try to get at me by creeping through the night, but I've already sensed them coming and cut 'em down with the light.
Try to snipe me out with a blaster, and if you don't straight miss, I'll send the blast back at you, make you a dead piece of Sith."
- Jedi-MC Shaak Ti (from her legendary days as a Jedi-Gangster rapper.)
(edit: spelling correction)
I now see why Shaak Ti didn't fight against the clones during the Raid at The Jedi Temple. She trusted them to do right by the Jedi. Unfortunately, that trust was misplaced & she did not figure Anakin into that mindset.
Also by her 7th death she was pretty blase about the whole thing.
@@RorikH My personal head canon is she is the only person in the Star Wars Galaxy that can jump dimensions. Meaning she will quantum leap into another timeline soon.
@@GRIGGINS1I understood that reference.
I always felt like the idea that Obi-Wan somehow made the wrong or non-Jedi choice by choosing to help Coruscant rather than Mandalore made no sense. Either way, a lot of innocent people were going to die. But Coruscant being lost or horribly damaged would be really bad for a lot of people who aren't on Coruscant itself. Meanwhile, Mandalore had spent the entire war shifting between demanding the Republic f*ck off and leave them alone, and desperately begging the Republic for help with their own issues. There was no world in which a rational person, Jedi or no, would have chosen to help Mandalore over Coruscant in that situation.
well he wasnt chosing to help corosaunt he was choosing to help palpatine over mandalore
Pretty sure satine got something to do with that
Shaak Ti became an easy favorite when she survived alongside Aayla Secure in the 2D animated series against Grievous, and then moved on to face him during is attempt to capture Palpatine. Granted this was when Grievous was an actual threat, but I just thought it was amazing how she held her own the way she did.
It makes me curious if Shaak Ti ever got the chance to meet Omega off screen?
I bet she did, though she might not have known she was a clone. Most people didn't, not even the other clones.
I like to think she did.
Since Omega never asked about Shaak Ti, it could be very well she knew her. But didn't understand her since no clone of Jango's was ever Force Sensitive (potential or otherwise) until Omega.
One thing that always bugged me about the Clones themselves was their conseption. Obiwan never figured out who was really behind the sanction of their creation, (other than a missing Jedi was named as the benifactor with no prior knowledge or authorization from the council) but he and the council were just like, "heck ya we'll use this army that basically fell into our laps to fight droids. We haven't seen war in centuries but I'm sure it'll be fine. What's the worst that could happen?"
I think that there are two types of nerds. The ones who watched the films hundreds of times and even know every word, and there is there type of nerd, which are so much in the theme, they can look behind the canvas.
Really cool and interesting to see that, just beautiful.
I’m not a native english speaker, but I hope you know what I mean
Anakin must be the fun older brother 😂
Ahsoka is the little sis that they protect but ends up being the protected
Obi Wan is the responsible father figure who's just as trolling as Anakin
Well, she was a better choice than Luminara that is for sure. And she treated them like Padawans and actually had good military bearing.
Luminara seemed too rigid. Look what happened to Barris. Imagine the Clones all pulling a Slick and burning the galaxy down.
@@hunterv9983 so very true.
Edit: not just the clones, but the trainers and Kaminoians.
Yeah that would be a order 66 a few years before it happened if she was in charge
@@MACE_HINDU for real.
@@hunterv9983 Right? If Shaak Ti would have been Barriss Master. Palpatine would not have a chance to push her to the dark side. Or at least It would have been harder.
Palpatine gets too much credit as a mastermind. The grand plan was put together by generations of Sith. Palpatine didn't come up with it all by himself. I mean come on. He was defeated by Vader who picked him up and threw him into a pit, and by a block spamming Rey. Plus many of his decisions made the Empire vulnerable.
He actually stole the plot from his master.
Technically yes , but he is the one who orchestrated the war and Anakin's fall + Order 66 , The Sith imbalanced the Force to make his plan easier , but it is still his plan .
Vader by ROTJ was near Sidious's level of power and caught him off guard , and Rey was channeling the power of every Jedi in history to do anything, so your examples of him losing aren't good ones
I wanted more episodes that centered around Shaak Ti
Yeah, pretty much all we got was her dropping the ball on Fives (to be fair, everyone dropped the ball on Fives, but the others had additional story lines to counter that).
Fr
50x better characters than Ahsoka
Shaak Ti Was practically Jedi Master Yaddle but for the Clones
Do we know how each Jedi voted regarding Ahsoka? I thought all we knew was that the vote was not unanimous. I'm assuming Plo Koon and Obi-Wan voted against it, and maybe also Yoda.
You KNOW Ki-Adi-Mundi voted GUILTY the first chance he got
@@darklordliamhe had other priorities. "What about the droid attack on the wookies?"
I would guess Shaak Ti voted not guilty. She was always one of the most compassionate Jedi.
Apparently, Shaak Ti's mission to protect Chancellor Palpatine during the Battle of Coruscant is still canon, which raises the question of why she specifically was sent there. Her posting on Kamino seemed almost permanent.
To be really fair it was the Senate himself.
Thanks so much for a Shaak Ti video! She's my favourite character in all of star wars and I'm so happy there's more content on her! Her character is really so interesting!!
“Hold up let me ask my mom”- Regs/commandos/ARC’s
I’m a huge fan of Shaak Ti since TFU. Also in TCW she is badass. I hope she’s still alive.
Actually funny you should say that because she is famous for having multiple deaths
One in a deleted ROTF scene, one the force unleashed where she is killed by Galen Marek, and the canon death, where she was impaled by anakin's lightsaber while meditating in the jedi temple during Order 66
Shawl TI is very capable and nurturing. A lot of Clones saw her as the Clone Mother.
Yes, Finally! This was my question, he’s talking about me! Generation Tech’s take on why Jango Fett’s polar opposite in many ways replaced him as head of training!
I’m writing a Fanfiction set just after the Battle of Kamino with Shaak Ti as one of the protagonists and her arc has her struggle with how her role has led her to care deeply for the Clones to the point she wants some payback for Kamino. She considers at times to even transfer from Kamino to keep herself from falling to the Dark Side, but ultimately with the help of some Clones decides she would rather struggle with this balance between her feelings and position as a Jedi rather than completely destroy her ties to the Clones. Think of it as an explanation why she mostly follows protocol during the Order 66 arc, but at times deviates such as wanting to deliver the chip to the Jedi Temple and initially believing in Fives.
The story would also contrast her to her predecessor, Jango Fett, through the eyes of some Clones. Readers will see how the Clones initially respected Fett, but lost that respect in him after his betrayal on Geonosis and the discovery he never cared for them. This leaves them quite open to the compassion of the Jedi, especially Shaak Ti to the cadets and allows the Jedi and Clones to become so close.
Where is it posted and what is the fic’s name 👀
I too would like to know where this is posted and its name.
and if you follow this line of thinking her as a Mother figure it make Order 66 even more horrific because one day without warning her "sons" turned around and gunned her down in a blink of the eye
Canon Shaak Ti: wise, capable, maternal mother
Legends Shaak Ti: Died, murdered, unalive
Shaak Ti is like the Kenny McCormick of Star Wars.
Honestly, if the fact that Asoka's mom literally brings her 1 year old baby out to hunt is anything to go by, Togruta are terrible parents who pointlessly bring their children into dangerous situations.
So you're saying she's mommy?
she is 100% mommy
If I was a Jedi I would try the best route in battle to protect all my personal clones. ❤️.
The fact that the clones are children is overlooked waaay to often in star wars.
Think the clone commano books do the bast with that idea
Walon Vau never could get it out of his head that all his Clone Trainees were essentially children. It's one of the reasons he was so tough of them since, to him, they'll never be adults at heart because he will out-live them naturally. So, he was going to make damn sure his kids would survive as long as possible even at the cost of them hating him to the point they would want to kill him.
Another thing about the clones I question on every Clone Wars rewatch is the Moralo Eval prison break episode, he’s basically running the prison kingpin style with the ability to bring Obi to his cell and then send him away and hints he has some influence of the republic guard troopers as if they can be bought or something…it’s a very intriguing concept that I would love some more context on at some point
This video has made me see even more how an invasion of Kamino was always doomed to fail.
Not only were the clones fighting for their home, they were fighting in front of their mom.
I like that they kept Shaak-Ti still being her own kind of badass from the 2003 Show. This time instead of busting heads, she’s helping guide them to do better.
You remember when cut up was telling his story of how he was hitting on a girl in clone cadets and fives pointed out he’s never even seen a girl?… I believe that story was 100% true and the girl was shaak ti who was humoing him
🤣
That is actually a funny idea.
She may be seen as the mother of the Clones, but to me she will always be a mommy
There has to be a Star Wars: Visions kimono out there somewhere.
Shaak Ti was Posted with the clones because it takes one to know one.
Don't believe me? All of the depictions of her MANY deaths are Canon. Shaak Ti is the secret example of Jedi force sensitive cloning experiments.
Simple.
Cloning, dark science, secrets only Sith knew 😉
Thanks for taking such care while talking about my favorite character 💓 GREAT video!
Shaak Ti is my wife till I die and she was so graceful walking, If I had a device to jump into the Star Wars world I'd save her and bring her back here
8:02 The Mother send’s Her Children off to War
Incredible Humanistics
Good work
I see you’re producing videos in a variety of locations. Nice
Great video as always 😊😊😊😊😊
I believe Obi-Wan prioritised Coruscant to avoid being emotionaly disturbed by what had happend on Mandalore. Maybe sending troops there would feel like a vengeance against Maul and he was scared of that.
You might want to double check your lore there were female bounty hunters and mandalorians that trained the clones. Shaak Ti was well knowledgeable about her people and their customs as were several other Jedi like plo koon
Quote
“As hunters, the Togruta showed off the pelts and teeth of their game as a sign of pride and maturation. Special pride was taken in the teeth of akul that a Togruta had taken down as an individual. These teeth often were made into jewelry such as an akul-tooth headdress or a necklace, which also incorporated metals, stones, and pearls found on Shili. Other Togruta, such as Shaak Ti and Ahsoka Tano, wore the Togruta sash with their Jedi apparel. Torgruta spoke the Togruti language, which had a few elements of Basic.”
That was Legend though, not the new canon. We have no hint of the Cuy'val Dar
The empire went from robots to clones back to cheap labor
At the end its enough to hand a gun to the guy on the street.
I wonder if Omega ever met Skaak Ti, they were on Kaminno together
Shaak-Ti didn't do her job as carefully as she could've. The clones were manufactured. She needed to bring in experts to analyze their construction and determine how they're programmed - sure they're biological. Why are they all designed in a certain way and break that down to scans of their form - then she'd see the control chip and unravel the code.
On one hand she saves units here and there; on the other hand, her failure led to the deaths of many Jedi, clones etc. Shaak-Ti was well over her head and had no idea. Even in the end, I doubt she know this.
To be fair Obi Wan decision was absolutely logic, i mean, Coruscant is the center of the Republic, the Jedi order and trilions of people, the Sith Empire did the exact same thing during the sacking of Coruscant and basically win the War, with the Republic forced to follow the treaty of Coruscant causing immense devastation on many republic and non republic worlds.
If you control Coruscant you control the Galaxy, its simple and i honestly hated Ahsoka's behavior in this instance, her ignorance was baffling, Mandalore was Nothing compared to Coruscant Obi Wan was right, Ahsoka sounded like a teenager who throw a tantrum because she didn't get what she wanted.
She was 17, that's basically what she did.
She was 17
And she was raised by Anakin who threw tantrums too
I like to think that the 2d clone wars show is still canon and her first encounter with General Grevious scared her so much that she refused to fight on the front lines again for fear that she'll run into the General again
I remember in some captain America comics his shield was an alloy of vibranium and adamantiun. Imagine if we did that in star wars with beskar, cortorsis and other lightsaber resistant metal?
It would be hard for a lightsaber to cut through. But not for some. (Cough, Cough, Darth Vader. Cough, Cough.)
@@theauraone7755 Did you just imply, that Vader *cut substantial beskar alloy* with his lightsaber? If so, *please tell me where you found that!*
+ no, he wouldn't be able to cut through as Kortisis in this alloy would destabilize or even turn off Vader's lightsaber, while other metals in the alloy would be *too* heat/lightsaber resistant to even melt through.
I'd like to note that the full effect of these materials is only possible in their pure form, as beskar in alloys is only resistant to lightsabers, not completely able to block it. Maybe the partial cortosis would weaken the lightsaber's strike, but it's really just better to use beskar armor in combination with a cortosis blade. Fully block the lightsaber if it hits, and an ability to short it out if you intercept with the cortosis weapon.
Makes me wonder if shaaak ti treated her padawans in a similar manner.
I love shaak ti
I enjoy 😉 all of Generation Tech videos
Your video got me thinking about did shaak Ti know know about ogmea , that she was force s.
Two cards from 2015 Topps Star Wars Chrome Perspective: Jedi vs. Sith set list her height as 1.78 meters, but her Databank entry and Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Character Encyclopedia - Join the Battle! correctly list her height as 1.87 meters.
Dam she’s tall
shaak ti is what the buick regal was intending to portray.
Shaak is the embodiment of a single turbo V6
So I says to her: Baby, you and me could really...
Very nice
Short answer: Because she is awesome.
Love this topic.
whenever they need to place the blame on someone they use Shaak Ti.
What did the dolphins do? 😂
Mace windus sudden temporary trust in Anakin failed him.
Luminous beings are we.
What ? They were trained by mandalorians not jedi.
They dont want them to be too attached to jedi for when the order comes in.
Who do you think it was that replaced shaak ti towards the end of the clone wars, I have always thought that Rig Neema is a prudent choice given her background also who do you think was the jedi corpse we see being taken away from Kamino in the bad batch.
The togruta are very heavily based on a romanticized view of the native americans and other more "rudimentary" cultures....... But really they are VERY VERY similar to the Swedes. They try to live a lagom life style and treat nature with a high regard and degree of respect and love and do not let corporate entities over take the natural beauty of their world and they put a heavy importance on the mothers and women of their society. They might have been gunning for "space based native americans" but the ended up with "alien Swedes"
Why didn't I see Boba in Andor
Hey Alan big fan here. Since you love Star Wars have ever considered making your own Star Wars movie ?
Also according to google translate the force smells like cabbages for some reason.

That thumbnail is crazy though
Everyone loves mom-Ti 😂
Nice
Whatever happened to that rival group of cadets from that rookie arc with domino squad.
Not sure we can call them "rivals," given all we officially see is them passing the test well enough to be considered worthy of ARC trooper status before making a joke as 'domino' squad goes for their "final" test, but I propose that they followed a somewhat convergent path to domino squad up to the point of eventually having only two members left.
Relatedly, I find it fitting that though Echo's name was due to a habit of repeating orders, his status as the last domino alive makes him an echo of his squad, as well.
Idk why, but when he said husband and father I was kinda taken aback
Caminoans? Kaminoans? Yeah I don't think they see any species or clone as deserving of equal respect 😅
Did Ahsoka’s mother going hunting with her baby by herself annoy anyone else?
It did. Ahsoka's mother was not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Yeap. Not very smart.
Truly wild
Palpatine a Sith mastermind HAH! Look at how he handled the Galactic Empire's army after the fall of the Republic.
Dolphins' evil? hard to say.. I mean they're friendly for the most part to Humans but yeah, they are not the kind of critters you want to make an enemy out of because they are Ruthless.
Why doesn't kamino have more sea life
People forget that the Jedi aren't supposed to serve the senate or even the people directly. Their one and only allegiance is supposed to be to the will of the force. They had completely and utterly forgotten their true purpose during this time period. I like to think the reason Yoda teaches Luke the way he does in Empire Strikes Back is because he's realised this and is trying to remedy it. Though you can still see some of his dogma leaking through into his teachings. Like the fact he doesn't want Luke to even try and help Vader return to the light. But luckily Luke saw Yoda's flaws and disobeyed. Ironically I think Luke at the end of ROTJ might be the only example, give or take Qui Gon, of an actual JEDI we've seen.
Thinking about why Kaminoins Didn't go after boba because he was in jail . But why couldn't they visit him and take some DNA.
Maybe emperal prison policy.
But . How fast was prison system to change. And why Didn't the writers put Boba in Andor
Why would they? Star Wars is big. The Imperial prison system is big. It makes no sense to run into familiar faces often.
Microphone keeps rubbing against your overshirt. Good video but hard to listen to once you notice.
Why don't you like dolphins lol? I have not been watching long enough apparently.
Lumpypatato was here
Hey Dolphin friend here . 🙃
If this is the case it makes sense that Shaak ti found her way to Felucia in the Force Unleashed. Such a vibrant and huge ecosystem on the planet that works with the native Felucians
a new set?

Obi-Wan was the ideal War Time Jedi not born for peace. Obi-Wan was a slow learner but was a gifted warrior and leader that loved the fight. He had a perfect Form 3 but he almost quit a year before EP1 because he couldn't do the basics like force heal. Obi-Wan wouldn't have become a Master in peace time, he rose through the ranks because he was good spy and effective in combat.

Is the advanced aging really that bad in a galaxy filled with different species with different lifespans? Yoda lived 900 years, so is it bad that humans only live for 80 or so? Surely there are species with even shorter lifespans.
The most I got from this is, dolphins are evil??
They were worried about her getting killed for the fifth time
aaaahhh Shaak ti, the motherof a thousand deaths
9:43 actually more mace's steadfast belief in the senate/republic failed him
