I always felt that one of the major reasons why the Senate applauded Palpatine's declaration of the Galactic Empire was because many of them remembered the massive battle that had literally taken place on their doorstep just days earlier and anything that would prevent a situation like that again was welcome
One of the reasons why real-world dictatorships enjoy popular support is that the population remembers the chaos, lawlessness and poverty that came beforehand. It's only later when the new rulers gouge the nation that unrest begins.
@@klaykid117 even in 2024 you can see the same pattern though - populations applaud strongmen, tighter control and authoritarian regimes when they sense an internal or external threat to their safety or way of life. Think Putin or Saddam Hussein putting their countries back together after prolonged periods of mismanagement and then proceeding to get away with murder and pillage. Here in Australia a Federal Senator recently made headlines by calling for the national army to work alongside the territory police to quell street violence in regional towns. In the United States Trump is (rightly or wrongly) seen to be the only presidential candidate taking a serious stance against Mexican drug cartels across the southern border. In Africa and South-East Asia we have military regimes seizing power from openly corrupt or incompetent democratic government, and in Israel we have what can charitably be described as one big mess. Whatever your private thoughts on the politicians and issues involved, the modern world is increasingly favouring authoritarian rule in the pursuit of "a safer and securer society".
It’s mind boggling how we’ve never seen such an amazing and extensive cinematic space battle like this on the big screen since this film came out all the way back in 2005. Why can’t we have amazing cinematic space battles like this in our big blockbuster films!?!!?!? 🥺
I’d rather rewatch timeless gems like ROTS (my favorite movie) than newly released garbage not worth watching. That being said The Boys In The Boat is a great film, worth watching;)
Because hollywood is lazy, incompetent, and an agenda driven mess. Stick to Animes such as Gundam, Space Battleship Yamato, and Legend of the Galactic Heroes if you want space battles.

"After disabling the final capital ship, General Kenobi and Skywalker took advantage of the opportunity we'd created and rescued the Chancellor. Took all the credit, too." - 501st Journal
I am imagining the "Fleet of Particular Justice" just completely glassing the planet....erasing all life on the surface and burning down the galactic city in "New Alexandria" style.
Kinda strange how the Senate District and every other area of Coruscant is free of visible damage from what was a fairly brutal attack in ROTS. It was present in the Novelization however. The fact that Padme was shocked about the smoke emanating from the Jedi Temple is a good indicator that he hadn't seen anything like that recently...
I hope we get to see more depictions of the Battle of Coruscant. There is an enormous space to tell stories from the buildup to the siege, to the opening moves of the battle, to the exhausted struggle before the conclusion. You could set an entire season of a show in the Battle before Kenobi and Skywalker arrive, from the clearing of the mass-shadow mines to the foiling of the Separatist jamming to the failed attempts to rescue the Chancellor.
The CIS entire existence revolves around losing a war. They were setup to lose, and they were never going to win. But yeah they would have lasted longer without this battle, but that was sort of the point.
I really love that you referenced the ROTS novel, that's a fantastic piece of work in EU media that expands the movie to such a great degree that we don't see in the film and I loved how you used that as a reference in this video! Usually, I can't help but feel like you mix a lot of "canon" information with EU/Legends infomation in a lot your other videos. The problem with doing that is, the Filoni Clone Wars tv show and EU/Legends Clone Wars are very, very different, story context wise. And a lot of events that did take place in EU have been retconned or made completely non-canon by TCW. I hate to sound like a critic but it brings a lot of confusion half the time to a lot of new viewers that haven't consumed any media from the old Clone Wars Multimedia Project, and/or only watched TCW.
Before watching the video: Okay, based on the title "A Space Battle that destroyed the trust in the Republic's Goverment" I'm betting this is another video on the Battle of Duro, given that because of the descions of certain Senators the fleet there was weakened giving Grevious an easy time conquring the planet, so that defiantly shattered trust in Republic Governance and gave Palpatine more power because the people couldn't trust the Senators to do their jobs right so they voted to give him more power. And it would be the first time this channel has made mutliple videos discussing the same battle as seen by the multiple videos on the Battles of Atraken and Umbara. After watching the video: Okay, I was only kind of right as it was a battle already discussed and one that also invovled Grevious like Duro, but other than that I was way off base. Also, I'm not a big book fan, so I've never read the Revenge of the Sith novelization, I've only heard quotes from it from Wookipedia, and videos made by Star Wars UA-camrs, including you, Geetsly, but I do have to say: Hot damn that is the greatest opening segway for Obi-Wan and Anakin's arrival ever. The Clone Wars may have been the end of the age of heroes with the Empire rising and killing most of them, but as many shows and comics from the Clone Wars have shown most of these heroes at least went out in blazes of heroic glory be they Jedi, Clone, Separatists, or so on. And I saulte them.
@@panzerkampfwagenviiimaus3976Forgive us, but we’re basically the vegans of Sci-Fi; we gotta bring up Warhammer 40K even at the slightest inkling of a conversation going to Sci-Fi 😂
Two battles I have always been interested in hearing more about would be the battle to break the mandolorian Blockade during the Mandolorian War and the Battle for the Star Forge during the Jedi Civil War.
Despite all the weapons, ships and other militaristic structures of the Clone Wars, the one true ultimate weapon throughout the conflict’s duration was fear. Its range had no limits, its area of effect was limitless, its trigger was invisible, and only the Dark Lord of the Sith knew how to point and shoot it the way he did, but more than that, it not only had the power to destroy societies, but also corrupt Republics, and make its peoples embrace Empires and its imperialistic crushing dominating power with the mask of a saving grace.
It was shattered multiple times throughout the Clone Wars. Palpatine had to be sure to crush it completely for his plan, so that's why he quadrople tapped. lol.
The plan that led to the Battle of Coruscant according to Darth Sidious has one flaw in my view. How can he know that the communication system on Coruscant will be restored in time? After all, General Grievous and the Separatists fleet will not stayed forever. They will leave immediately once they have the Chancellor in their custody. And if that happened, that means his plan failed and the search for him is going to allow the Separatists to regain the momentum in the Outer Rim Sieges.
@@bernardoayres1139 Man, imagined luck favored him no more. That is when Palpatine is screwed up for real and the war will be dragging on longer than the one we see. Why? Because the search for him and the battles at the strategic locations such as Kashyyyk will be such a contesting debate both in the Senate and the Jedi Council alike. After all, both are important.
Also is there any media showing what the Jedi thought of the secret reinforcements that arrived at this battle? Didn’t the chancellor have hundreds of star destroyers show up from out of nowhere? What did the troops who made up this secret fleet know about their purpose and assignment?
Why Disney make a small micro series of the ground battle, that would be so epic. But of course not. We only saw bits and pieces and yes i know ( the other series).
I’m only at the start of the video but yeah the republic would have lost the war. The fact that so many ships were able to be discreetly transferred and hidden is insanity.
“The Message from the Younglings is the same. Dont worry! Anakin and Obi-Wan will be there any minute” I know later on, Just Anakin will be there any minute though for a…different reason
I think this was over the top attack that was a mistake on the CIS's part. They should have opted for a stealth abduction of Palpatine or surgical strike of sorts vs this over dramatic attack. Of course I know the real purpose was to push Anakin deeper into the dark side but still from strategic PoV this was a mistake. Besides if your gonna launch attack like that you should go all out. Don't commit a 6th of your fleet. Commit half of it and enough supplies to invade ten Coruscant's. Don't prepare for a week of fighting. Prepare for a month of fighting. Then on top that have some secret capital ship killers up your sleeve or two to use at the last moment.
Well yes ofc it was a mistake, but since the CIS was manipulated into a role of a threat to build up the Empire, it was on purpose. If the CIS really did tried to win, they would have, considering their superiority it numbers, overall military preparation, more diverse fleet composition and experienced commanders (the outer rim had to defend itself against pirates and other threats for basically centuries) within the first half of the war. If they had unleashed all this 100% right from the beginning, the Republic would have lost. Especially since losing a war dosen't have to mean having all of your territory conquered, simply losing faith and support from the public can be enough to lose a war.
4:44 “Hundreds of millions of battle droids…” Millions of Vulture Droids? How is this even possible? How could ANY planet - shoot, the entire Republic! - have a prayer at countering this? And how could this many droids be built? They would have to be scoped to planet-sized assembly lines! The raw materials, the logistics, the supply chain…no chip shortages here. Sheesh. Coruscant had NIMBY Syndrome…Not In My BackYard.
I feel like sw needs more perspectives from the average citizens. We don't even need to make new trilogies, just a short series about deep dives on things like this could earn Disney lots of money. Too bad it won't happen.
Couldn't one of the Jedi masters communicate a simple message to another Jedi beyond Coruscant, circumventing the jamming, hyperspace interdiction, and blockade?
I can see the HoloNet and other electronic and hyperspace communications systems not being available. But not even a pre-arranged message using the Force?
Didn't realize that up front the Republic outnumbered the CIS - the CIS had maybe 2000-3000 capital ships (being overly generous here with estimates) and the Republic seemed to have just as many (even if not as many heavy ones) as the battle started - if they already had thousands of Venators. And wonder how they were able to bypass the Coruscant planetary shields. Shouldn't those be the most powerful (at the time) in the galaxy and given state of war always ready to be powered up?
@@StolenNikotine Or maybe even arrogance. People on Coruscant felt safe and also it was a major trading hub, so having everything and everyone on alert 24/7 without a proper military risk may have just done more bad than good for the economy and public morale. I mean, the USA also didn't really prepare for any kind of German air attacks yet alone invasions on the east coast during WW2, believing that the US navy would protect them. I'd bet the people of Coruscant felt the same. And kinda rightfully so: Without the secret hyperroutes this attack would have not been possible, at least not without enough warning time. So its plausible the shields were not up during the battle, even without Palpatine pulling strings.
6:20 I cannot believe Grievous did 9/11. Then again, considering the context film was made, this was propably meant be seen as equivalent in Star Wars Galaxy.
I’m guessing the new ships are Praetor, Imperator, Victory 2 and Mandator class Star Destroyers (just saying what I know from the Fall of the Republic mod lol)
Well, kinda like all the women in some Nordic country (Iceland, maybe?) all stayed home for a day or a week or whatever, for some protest or movement - and no one noticed.
In the end the galaxy was right this was the end of the Republik. If anakin and obi wan had learned palpatine was a sith before this point eveything coul have been prevented
vid can be summarized to "the one over coruscant, because rich republicans thought they were too smart to lose." And that's why I'm glad the republic fell, because they were too high and mighty to realize they were no better than the citizens who allowed them to think so.
it was to convey the scale of destruction & trauma, dozens of buildings randomly on fire doesn't have the same psychological impact as a warship firing its capital grade weaponry upon a population center.
I always felt that one of the major reasons why the Senate applauded Palpatine's declaration of the Galactic Empire was because many of them remembered the massive battle that had literally taken place on their doorstep just days earlier and anything that would prevent a situation like that again was welcome
One of the reasons why real-world dictatorships enjoy popular support is that the population remembers the chaos, lawlessness and poverty that came beforehand. It's only later when the new rulers gouge the nation that unrest begins.
