And Palpatine knew it was also a possibility Kenobi didn't survive a fight with the Jedi killer Grievous, even though he was the most capable of taking him on. Palps needed both Kenobi and Grievous dead after the Battle of Utapau for his plans, so the plan was that whichever one survived their duel would be killed by the Clones.

"In our bones, we knew the war was almost over. The Galaxy held its breath, waiting to see which side would make the final daring move. As fortune would have it, the Republic moved first. After the Chancellor informed the Jedi Council that General Grievous and the Sep leaders were hiding on Utapau, General Kenobi gathered an army large enough to capture three star systems. When the orders reached the 501st, our morale soared. For better or worse, this would be the beginning of the end." "With the death of General Grievous at the hands of General Kenobi, the Utapau raid had broken the back of the Separatists. Under normal circumstances, it would have been a time for celebration. But our next orders put pain to those thoughts."
*some time later* “What I remember about the rise of the Empire is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the clone Wars, the 501st legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant”
It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word.
I'd argue Cody wasn't putting his full effort into finding Obi-Wan, since that Trooper did tell him nobody could have survived that fall and Cody seems to go with it and tell the troops to start loading onto the ships instead of continuing the search. Now if Cody had been putting full effort into the search he would have known better and known that Obi-Wan would have survived that given how long he worked with him, so it seems to me at least, he was fighting his chip and conditioning a bit and not putting his full efforts into finding Obi-Wan in the hopes he would manage to escape. I'd like to think at least a few Clones while not able to fully resist their chips could at least resist a little bit and do something, even something very minor to help their Jedi and at least by them some time.
Especially when you consider the passage from the novelization, which states that “Cody had served under Kenobi in a dozen operations since the beginning of the Outer Rim Sieges, and had a very accurate and unflattering estimation of just how hard to kill the unassuming Jedi Master was. “
Think that was before the chip retcon. Always hated the chip idea. Added cheese to an an otherwise compelling story beat, and cheapened the whole clone/Jedi relationship.
@@HCUhardcoreUnited hard agree. Its way more compelling for the clones to know what theyre going to have to do and actually grapple with whether or not they can go through with that decision
Fun fact: After Order 66 drops, in one of the scenes, you can see the clones escorting cuffed natives across a walkway in the back. So much for heros, huh? Thanks for the video! I learned a lot!
RIGHTTTTTT ! WE NEEDED MORE ARCS IN THE CLONE SHOW FOR THE AIRBORNE TROOPERS, JET TROOPERS , SHADOW TROOPERS , ARC TROOPERS , AND SOMETHING REALLY COOL WE NEED IS AN UMBRA OPERATIVE ARC !
I always liked the Battle of Utapau. I didn't know alot about it. But it was interesting. Seeing the beginning of the end was very interesting. Showing it wasn't a victory for the Republic and not just a defeat for the CIS, but a victory for the new Galactic Empire.
Of course it was also formerly a nice hideout for Darth Sidious and Count Dooku to hide a giant cyber crystal in the clone wars, probably meant for the Death Star.
The battles were so creative and epic in the prequels. Massive fleets and armies clashing, jedi running and flying around- much more exciting than the boring little skirmishes between plotarmored rebel main characters and overly pathetic stormtroopers of the OT and sequel era.
Now the question is: what if order 66 never happened....then we probably would have never got the Storm Trooper's because the Storm Trooper's armor is made out of the Clone armor....also it might just be me but obviously the battle of Utapau takes place before the first early Star Wars films were released and that's fascinating to me because the first Star Wars movie takes place years and years after the fall of Aniakin Skywalker and Order 66 and tragic downfall of the Galactic Republic, now in the prequels we slowly began to see a new and somewhat darkside of Aniakin but just a hint of it, during all of this Obi-Wan has been facing challenges like struggling with a relentless Aniakin Skywalker a made and not very happy Aniakin Skywalker and General Grevious, also Obi-Wan is tasked to capture or kill General Grevious and when he finally kills Grevious Obi-Wan was shockely betrayed be Commandor Cody thus beginning Order 66, also the one question is what if Aniakin Skywalker was there with Obi-Wan....
Utapaun: Yay we won! Now let's celebrate with our new friends with a pa... Clone: Start loading your men into the ships. Utapaun: But you saved us from the se... Clone: Move it!
Honestly they should just finish the 50 or so episodes they already had half way done. But I would love a band of brothers style arc focusing on a platoon of Clone troopers from shinys to hard-core veterans.
They should definitely include battalions we haven’t seen before… or battalions such as 5th Fleet Security and 7th Legion that they merchandised but never showed
I'm not sure I like the concept of clone scouts being the reason Palpatine tells Anakin about Grievous being on Utapau. I always interpreted it as Palpatine sharing information he knew only because he was Sidious, not because he was /actually/ informed by clone scouts. It makes the whole concept of him divulging that info a lot more sinister, proving that it was carefully calculated.
What would have happened if both were still fighting when order 66 happened? Would the general kill Kanobi them escape or kill more clones or would notj fighters joined forces as both would have been targets?
The battle of Utapau is so fascinating. Fascinating enough to make me mad at Disney for not including the Utapau Kyber crystal arc to Clone Wars season 7 to show us more of Utapau. Star Wars EU is so full of fascinating lore and tons of little tidbits and massively detailed battles it’s amazing.
In their defense, they were only greenlit for 12 episodes, so that limited what they could do. And naturally, the Siege of Mandalore had to be a part of this so that leaves them with 8 episodes. Then with the planned Bad Batch spin-off, it made sense to do the Bad Batch episodes to introduce them, as well as show that Echo had survived and after everything that happened to Domino Squad I think showing Echo had survived was an important thing to do. So that left them with only 4 episodes. Of course, they didn't have to do the terrible Martz Sisters arc they could have done something better. I know they wanted to have a lead in to explain why Ahsoka was with Bo-Katan and the others for the final arc, but they could have either just had Ashoka briefly explain how they met when she was talking to Obi-Wan and Anakin or at the very least only do a one episode lead into the final arc, not dedicate an entire story arc. Those other 3 episodes could have been used to tell better stories, like the Utapau one, they would have need to condense something to fit 3 episodes instead of 4, but still, they could have done it.
I freaking wish they finish that arc one day. Is tragic we don’t get to see such brilliant writing and performance realised in animation, and it just shows where Clone wars was going at that point, when it was cancelled. It was truly becoming the “really great tv show” George initially envisioned. Still I’m very glad they released that unfinished content at all! It is very sad though. I completely agree
I really wanted to see Son of Dathomir, Crystal Crisis on Utupau, and Dark Disciple animated. Obv I’d love to see all 52 unfinished episodes, and maybe we’d have got even more than that if it wasn’t cancelled. Haha. I feel like Anakin getting mad about it sometimes…
I have an urgent question: is the 501st one of the four legions that make up the 7th Sky Corp? In the Clone Wars Episode, Rookies, Cody tells the new clone troops that he’s their new boss, but they join the 501st. It would also make sense in the context of the battles of Utapau and Umbara. Both the 501st and 7th Sky were present, but the 7th is so large that it would contain enough battalions to take both planets. Anakin wasn’t a Jedi master, so he was placed in command of a smaller clone unit than Obi-Wan, but they worked together prior to the wars, so it makes sense that they would be placed in command of the same unit, Obi-Wan being the commanding officer and having other units beyond Anakin’s as well. If this is the case, Pong Krell is also likely to be the general of a legion in the 7th Sky Corps. Just something I’ve been thinking about for a while.
I don’t think so. No piece of star wars media out there tells us what corps it’s under. I’m pretty sure it’s just its own formation, like some others. Edit: Actually i’m not sure. Some places give me that a legion with a standard size is non-canon, while others say four make up a corps instead of four companies.
I know one thing: you only start with 15 troopers and then turns into 50 or 75 in the original battlefront 2. Have I mentioned that it bleeds faster than anakin when he got turned into an amputee.
@@AcidifiedMammoth it removed the clones agency and turned them into simple plot devices. Tbh, the story of the clones, bred to be the perfect soldier, turning on their Jedi comrades and friends because they were given a legal order by their commander-in-chief is just a much more interesting story than them basically being insta-brainwashed.
you forgot a Jedi that Cody shot after the order was stated. that's where he got his scar. its along his Right hand. a symbolic part of him, holding deeper meaning towards biting the hand that fed him, poetic considering Cody was eventually eaten by a Swamp rancor.
What? Cody's only noticeable scar is the one he got on his face and he never got killed by a rancor he hasn't got any confirmed death in Canon or legends.
@@skinnyj123 I'm telling you. he dies to a rancor on Dagobah doing a inspection of a outpost that was suspected of being used by a local gang to sell spice and other contraband, the smugglers were selling a rancor to the Hutts gang(a new one for Jabba, sadly he died before getting it) , and he was thrown into its cage, it cuts off after that with a rancor's shadow over him, his weapons and grenades gone and stuck with no armor plating, it leaves the reader to believe he was Eaten. the comic leaves off after 2 more issues having a particular set of fresh bones as this former outpost turned smuggler den is then visited by Darth Vader himself. series ends with the smugglers, as its main characters are cad Bane and a robot called Stix'sy-5, a reprogrammed Commando Droid. There is no further issues of the comic, I should know, I wrote it in 2006, and it was published in 2010 to Legends, and G. Lucas liked it a lot being a poetic end to a tired old clone he couldn't find a end for..
The End of Bane it fallows a bounty hunter named Cadio Bane nicknamed "Cad" I think the story inspired the Clone Wars writers with the interpretations of the character a bit as I did share my first drafts around in 2007 with a friend who eventually joined on creating the digitally animated series there should be 500 copies of it out there somewhere it didn't sell much due to the Drama going on at the time, I don't own the rights to the work I did as it was given to the Lucas Co., Disney likely now owns it and due to the merge, I doubt you find a copy anyway, they kind of wiped all the legends era materials they did own (even the originals given to the company) I cried myself for a good hour when I read that announcement
2:48 Considering that Palpatine likely mostly used Dooku to keep track of the Separatists, it makes sense that he would have to employ the use of elite forces for more traditional espionage after Dooku's death
What if General gerevous was captured by kenoby? Would the 2 help each other to survive order 66? Just a thought, but that would be a killer alternate timeline
Realistically, I don't believe they would help each other as it would still be the Republic vs the CIS, but they would also both be fighting against the Jedi. If Kenobi did capture Grievous and they survived being executed by the Clones, Grievous most likely wouldn't hesitate to use this betrayal to break Kenobi's spirit and finish him off himself the moment he got the chance, or he would shout something like "I would rather die than help the likes of you, Jedi scum!" The idea is interesting, but it probably wouldn't be your regular 'Good Guy and Bad Guy Team Up' kind of story.
I made this thought a while back, and I came to the same conclusion as you have. But, then I thought, how desperate would he have to be to align himself with kenobi? What if he had been fatally wounded in his duel, to the point where he can’t fight. I feel like he would see what’s coming (order 66, order 99, the rise for the empire). Knowing this, I feel like he would either try and flee, on the planet swarming with clone troopers that would most likely kill him on site, or try and align himself with kenobi to have a better chance to survive and escape the planet. So I’m not saying that your wrong in any way, not at all. It’s only a thought of mine that would be cool as hell to see and ik everyone here would like to see an alternate timeline where that happens.
I could see Grievous getting desperate enough to work with Kenobi, even if to save his own life, that seems like something he would do, even if he then tried to kill Kenobi right after that. But whether Grievous would actually learn from that experience or immediately go back to his old Jedi killing ways would be an interesting story in its own right.
Great job describing the lightsaber battle. Makes me wish we had a Star Wars game with Sekiro style combat based on guarding against attacks and striking at critical moments. This is in contrast to the generally hack n slash style saber mechanics we've had in past games.
Tbh for me there wasn't anything new in this video (I guess). Just nice to see it again. If you wanna read the whole Story of ep 3, I recommend you the noval about it. Unbelievable well written and quite interesting
My main question is how did the at te gunner just shoot obi wan without questioning it first no way he got order 66 that quick and would’ve been confused at first
Okay, I know why Palpatine would not want the council hiding on Dooku’s homeworld or the Separatist capital, but nobody else thought to question why neither of these worlds deep in CIS territory were where they hid?
To answer your question for requests: More like a careful time table between Order 66 & the Shut Down order for the CIS droids. I pretty much assumed that the clones won the day when the droids were switched off…
almost all droids were shutoff; there was one holdout that resisted the Shut Down order because they believed it was a Republic deception so they just held out for years at some abandoned Separatist ship. My source: Star Wars Rebels S3 E6 "The Last Battle"
I’m fully aware of that, @@TLBgaming0330. But because of their given location, its irrelevant; those specific droids weren’t in an active combat zone, they weren’t relieved nor resupplied, thus your ‘clarification’ doesn’t exactly count…
Why is this not titled, "Why more people actually don't know a lot about the battle where the greatest meme of all time happened"? Hello There, incase anyone was wondering
Hmm, thought you were gonna talk about moments like those Pauans being rounded up by the clone troopers after the battle was won, the clone who sucker punched the droid during the Republic's sudden arrival, and other small yet fascinating moments.
i always like to ask people i know who the good guys are when watching prequel trilogy, but I always phrase it like the jedi/republic used a slave army of clones who have accelerated lives and can do nothing but war. or the trade federation using an almost all droid army. so the peacekeepers who were the generals of the republic, or literal traders sick of the stagnant failing republic. the movies don't do this justice the clone wars did
I absolutely love the Utapau scenes, but the one thing that always bothered me was when didn't the 3 or so Troopers not immediately start blasting General Grievous, absolutely love this scene though.
Love the Battle of Utapau hopefully we see something in the Ob-Wan Kenobi show a little flashback but here is one question how many men are an army to capture three Star Systems??
When you think about it, it was a wise move on Palpatine's part to commence Order 66 when Kenobi was heading an assault force this large. He likely knew it would take a lot for Kenobi to be taken down even if it was by surprise.
When in doubt over strangely unusual interference involving seeker tech, always assume magic/the Force from an otherwise dead wizard/Jedi is in play. I like how Cody knows that, but then again, the man he's hunting was a former comrade.
I recently thought about this: how did Boba get a second helmet? Because Jangos helmet was blown up in TCW S2E20 when Boba uses it as a bomb to kill to Windu.
Consider this: Utapau was a distraction designed by Palpatine to specifically lure Kenobi away from Coruscant and thus away from Anakin Skywalker.
Most likely. Get him away from Obi-wan and Ahsoka...
And Palpatine knew it was also a possibility Kenobi didn't survive a fight with the Jedi killer Grievous, even though he was the most capable of taking him on. Palps needed both Kenobi and Grievous dead after the Battle of Utapau for his plans, so the plan was that whichever one survived their duel would be killed by the Clones.
It would have been best that Anakin going to utapau I believe.
Well not exactly since in the novel it’s the Jedi council that send obi wan

@@skinnyj123 I'm telling you. he dies to a rancor on Dagobah doing a inspection of a outpost that was suspected of being used by a local gang to sell spice and other contraband, the smugglers were selling a rancor to the Hutts gang(a new one for Jabba, sadly he died before getting it) , and he was thrown into its cage, it cuts off after that with a rancor's shadow over him, his weapons and grenades gone and stuck with no armor plating, it leaves the reader to believe he was Eaten.
the comic leaves off after 2 more issues having a particular set of fresh bones as this former outpost turned smuggler den is then visited by Darth Vader himself.
series ends with the smugglers, as its main characters are cad Bane and a robot called Stix'sy-5, a reprogrammed Commando Droid.
There is no further issues of the comic, I should know, I wrote it in 2006, and it was published in 2010 to Legends, and G. Lucas liked it a lot being a poetic end to a tired old clone he couldn't find a end for..
@@alucardhuskasai5667 what was the comic called? If it's a fan fiction it doesn't count as legends or Canon.
The End of Bane
it fallows a bounty hunter named Cadio
Bane nicknamed "Cad"
I think the story inspired the Clone Wars writers with the interpretations of the character a bit as I did share my first drafts around in 2007 with a friend who eventually joined on creating the digitally animated series
there should be 500 copies of it out there somewhere it didn't sell much due to the Drama going on at the time, I don't own the rights to the work I did as it was given to the Lucas Co., Disney likely now owns it and due to the merge, I doubt you find a copy anyway, they kind of wiped all the legends era materials they did own (even the originals given to the company)
I cried myself for a good hour when I read that announcement
2:48 Considering that Palpatine likely mostly used Dooku to keep track of the Separatists, it makes sense that he would have to employ the use of elite forces for more traditional espionage after Dooku's death
What if General gerevous was captured by kenoby? Would the 2 help each other to survive order 66? Just a thought, but that would be a killer alternate timeline
Star wars really needs to do a what if series.
Realistically, I don't believe they would help each other as it would still be the Republic vs the CIS, but they would also both be fighting against the Jedi. If Kenobi did capture Grievous and they survived being executed by the Clones, Grievous most likely wouldn't hesitate to use this betrayal to break Kenobi's spirit and finish him off himself the moment he got the chance, or he would shout something like "I would rather die than help the likes of you, Jedi scum!"
The idea is interesting, but it probably wouldn't be your regular 'Good Guy and Bad Guy Team Up' kind of story.
I made this thought a while back, and I came to the same conclusion as you have. But, then I thought, how desperate would he have to be to align himself with kenobi? What if he had been fatally wounded in his duel, to the point where he can’t fight. I feel like he would see what’s coming (order 66, order 99, the rise for the empire). Knowing this, I feel like he would either try and flee, on the planet swarming with clone troopers that would most likely kill him on site, or try and align himself with kenobi to have a better chance to survive and escape the planet. So I’m not saying that your wrong in any way, not at all. It’s only a thought of mine that would be cool as hell to see and ik everyone here would like to see an alternate timeline where that happens.
I could see Grievous getting desperate enough to work with Kenobi, even if to save his own life, that seems like something he would do, even if he then tried to kill Kenobi right after that. But whether Grievous would actually learn from that experience or immediately go back to his old Jedi killing ways would be an interesting story in its own right.
@@DrAmethyst fighting against the Republic* Unless Obi thought the Jedi had just betrayed him specifically? Interesting question.
Great job describing the lightsaber battle. Makes me wish we had a Star Wars game with Sekiro style combat based on guarding against attacks and striking at critical moments. This is in contrast to the generally hack n slash style saber mechanics we've had in past games.
Jedi fallen order
I think this battle is forgotten about due to a single pivotal interaction beginning with a handome individual jumping down and saying , hello there
Me who thought it was just a base raid:
Id say obi wan commander's the fighter. Or appropriated it .
I thought the 41st were also on Utapau. After Order 66 you can see a few of them in the background wearing their grey armor.
I don't get why didn't Obi Wan just Force Push Grievous off the edge and into a sink hole.
Claw feet dig into ground good
@@skinnyj123
Would anyone? Especially after the fucker killed your girl?
One of Grievous’ most important features is the fact that the Force can’t touch him lol
That is a thing you can say to every battle in star wars
But the most important thing. Did Boga survived te fall?
I would absolutely love a video on the Battle of Coruscant. It really deserved to have a dedicated season in the clone wars.
wish granted a vid on it is out now :D
In the Revenge of The Sith video game, there’s a Juggernaut Tank in The Battle of Utapau.
With 2 battalions of clone troopers, chaotic is an understatement.
Tbh for me there wasn't anything new in this video (I guess). Just nice to see it again. If you wanna read the whole Story of ep 3, I recommend you the noval about it. Unbelievable well written and quite interesting
My main question is how did the at te gunner just shoot obi wan without questioning it first no way he got order 66 that quick and would’ve been confused at first
Okay, I know why Palpatine would not want the council hiding on Dooku’s homeworld or the Separatist capital, but nobody else thought to question why neither of these worlds deep in CIS territory were where they hid?
You raise a good point, and in any other war, that would be the case. But Palpatine.
We can't forget the most important part of the battle: That one clone fistfighting a droid in the background.
To answer your question for requests: More like a careful time table between Order 66 & the Shut Down order for the CIS droids. I pretty much assumed that the clones won the day when the droids were switched off…
almost all droids were shutoff; there was one holdout that resisted the Shut Down order because they believed it was a Republic deception so they just held out for years at some abandoned Separatist ship. My source: Star Wars Rebels S3 E6 "The Last Battle"
I’m fully aware of that, @@TLBgaming0330. But because of their given location, its irrelevant; those specific droids weren’t in an active combat zone, they weren’t relieved nor resupplied, thus your ‘clarification’ doesn’t exactly count…
@@nickvinsable3798 My bad; it just really was interesting
I can’t say enough that I love this channel
...after 66...were the clones Zombies...?
why does grievous have obi wan and anakin's lightsabers?
Why is this not titled, "Why more people actually don't know a lot about the battle where the greatest meme of all time happened"?
Hello There, incase anyone was wondering
Hmm, thought you were gonna talk about moments like those Pauans being rounded up by the clone troopers after the battle was won, the clone who sucker punched the droid during the Republic's sudden arrival, and other small yet fascinating moments.
By far the most important character of the battle was that one clone with the mean right hook
It would be cook if you did a video on the largest ship in galactic history or the fastest one great vid bye the way
This is Canon for me!
i always like to ask people i know who the good guys are when watching prequel trilogy, but I always phrase it like the jedi/republic used a slave army of clones who have accelerated lives and can do nothing but war. or the trade federation using an almost all droid army. so the peacekeepers who were the generals of the republic, or literal traders sick of the stagnant failing republic. the movies don't do this justice the clone wars did
Do the battle of coruscant next
Ask a Star Wars fan what they think of the battle of utapau and most of of them will simply say, hello there!
“General Kenobi!”
I absolutely love the Utapau scenes, but the one thing that always bothered me was when didn't the 3 or so Troopers not immediately start blasting General Grievous, absolutely love this scene though.
Love the Battle of Utapau hopefully we see something in the Ob-Wan Kenobi show a little flashback but here is one question how many men are an army to capture three Star Systems??
1 000 000?
yes, this battle needs more coverage, such an awesome battle.
As always, this is amazing.
Disney likes to keep changing the lore that's why.
3:20 so that 501st log from the old BF2 game was kind of right
When you think about it, it was a wise move on Palpatine's part to commence Order 66 when Kenobi was heading an assault force this large. He likely knew it would take a lot for Kenobi to be taken down even if it was by surprise.
Sounds like the tx-130s would have been handy
When in doubt over strangely unusual interference involving seeker tech, always assume magic/the Force from an otherwise dead wizard/Jedi is in play.
I like how Cody knows that, but then again, the man he's hunting was a former comrade.
I recently thought about this: how did Boba get a second helmet? Because Jangos helmet was blown up in TCW S2E20 when Boba uses it as a bomb to kill to Windu.
What’s the next The Front Episode coming out?
I always thought that most of the 7th Sky Corps was deployed to Utapua
Every time I watch revenge of the sith I always want to see more of the battle of Utapu and Kysekk
I always wondered what would have happened if Cody had met Kenobi or even Rex year's later say in Rebels or during the original trilogy time period.
I got episode at 00.00 night
I think a video on grievous's walker bike would be pretty awesome if you haven't done one already!
If only we get to see the Crystal arc from the Clone Wars which was also set on Utapau
Obviously Kenobi survived the fall, did Boga survive as well?
Would want to know that too!
Should of showed some footage instead of just picture
Can you do more detailed battles in Star Wars this video was very interesting and now I kinda want more like it
I would like to know more!
