i know this doesn't fit the subject, but imagine what Star Wars would look like if George Lucas didn't think in 1977 that "the Clone Wars" sounded cool

Here are some changed facts - I read in a magazine article that originally the Clones from the Clone Wars were going to be the Army that fought against the Jedi & The Republic. This was back in '86 or '87 when I read the article. I think George changed it so the Jedi weren't constantly cutting down "people"......but instead then have the Clones turn on them at the end like we saw. Darth Vader would have fought Obi-Wan on the edge of a volcano until he fell in on the side catching fire as Obi-Wan walked away because the smoke was too thick to see Vader crawl into an empty lava tube for safety. Han was suppose to die saving everyone at the end of Return (Revenge) of the Jedi. The Emperor was not going to be a force user. Just an evil corrupt politician. So no rule of two. No Sith. Just light side force users and dark side force users. Either Vader or Obi-Wan killed Luke's father. Don't know for sure because one was a fake script.... Luke and Leia weren't twins. Luke had a sister, but she was hidden somewhere else. Luke would have turned to the dark side until his sister showed up to save him back to the good side!!! Oh, and NO Ewoks! It would have been Wookies on the Endor Moon. This could have been good if fleshed out and tightened up a bit. I am glad what we got though. The Ewoks could have been more vicious so that it showed they could fight the empire. Either way, I grew up with the O.T. and I love it!!!!
10:36 Enemy: "What's warrior without a weapon?" Darth Vader: "A warrior still!"
Technically, most, if not all of the Inquisitors can also be put on the list since they were all former Jedi who lived during the Clone Wars.

A military loss almost never comes down to one event or non-event. In actuality Thrawn would most win if either of those events happen in isolation but together and the rebellion lives to fight another day. Ezra escapes but Thrawn isn't ordered to capture the leadership. He'd of been able to just batter the base shield down shot the base up for a bit make sure to take out all the starships and send in the group forces to them capture or kill the survivors. Ezra and the Mandarins would have needed to not only take out the second Interdictor but also emergency medical evacuation.

When both of them were gone, the rebels were free to escape.

Um, we don’t actually see these two minor clones after the Clone Wars. It can be implied they served the Empire for awhile if they survived the war, but so far besides the clones we see in Revenge of the Sith and the Bad Batch, there have not been many other confirmations.
Honorable mention: CC-2237 “Oddball” aka “Davijaan” who was a clone pilot. He is the one who Kenobi hails to form up on himself upon on their approach to Grievous’s ship in the battle over Coruscant. He survived that battle, Umbara and Utapau. Not much is known outside of the fact that his squad and him were folded into the Empire.

The last wave of Clones that were babies in the test tubes before being relocated to new Imperial facilities were born in 19 BBY meaning that ever Clone generation at that point was getting smaller and smaller due to less and less of them being in service compared to the regular recruits who joined up and replaced most retirees. By 0 BBY the last batch of Clones were 38 in Human years, so when they became ready to fight in 10 BBY they were already a smaller Clone generation and after that the replacement process only sped up with that being the final new batch of Clones to join the ranks of the Imperial military.
Good list but you forgot some important imperial officers like Hurst Romodi - he was drafted into the service of the Republic and fought in many battles in the Clone Wars, he later became one of the first generals of the Imperial army. Participated in the reconquest of the Western Reach and later became Tarkin's assistant and was on the Death Star during the Battle of Scarif and the Battle of Yavin 4.

Most of those who suffered his wrath were corrupt or incompetent. They either didn't deserve their position or were ineffective at doing their task. Take a look at the difference between how he views General Veers and Admiral Ozzel. He respected Veer's perspective and considered his tactical advice, while he routinely ignored and was annoyed by Ozzel. There were only a few actually useful officers were felled by his hand.

In the comic he showed Plo Koon kept getting mad at him for his tactics he was using.
IIRC the vast majority of Republic Veterans ended up on the Empire as the Republic became the Empire? It's just that by the time of A New Hope, most have either retired, died, (and a few defected to the Alliance).
I want to know about the wookies, particularly after the Empire took over Many were enslaved but how many remained free, how many were killed how many survived after the Battle of Endor and became free and how many survived the Yuhzan Vong war?
The clones may have seen the new stormies as undisciplined but 1) I wouldn't exactly say Imperial Stormtroopers were what you'd call an undisciplined rabble and 2) It was kind of unfair to compare yourself (if you're a clone trooper) to someone that was probably 3 when you started your training.

They mainly hated the new Stormtroopers for not being as good as them. Cody in Legends laments how the Stormtroopers he had to train in the academy were generally not as efficient as the army of babies bred for war. Most of the clone's dislike was rather unjustified and could be seen as a something more akin to how boomers hate the newer generations for not being like them.

If it was for Star Wars there's very few good Imperials because nuance isn't marketable. However the Empire still has some good apples, with the easiest ones being Grand Admiral Thrawn, Captain Pellaeon and Colonel Yularen . A minor character worth noting is Grand Moff Ardus Kaine, the least oppressive moff in the entire Empire who did his best to manage his sector of space without needlessly harrassing the locals.
The Clones despise the Stormtroopers how poorly their skills are. If the Empire kept using Clones despite how expense they are. Maybe the Empire has a chance of having a powerful military force.

The Star Wars writers screwed up even writing the clone troopers. And they got the error from classic science fiction novels like Dune. Maturation and aging are not the same process. Maturation, an organism growing from an infant stage to an adult is driven by an increased rate of cell division and hormones. Aging is the process of DNA accumulating errors over time, which impairs the function of cells, tissues, and organs. You realistically could have a child grow to maturity at an accelerated rate, then have them live a normal human lifespan. They'd still get old before normal humans because, but only about a decade before.
Will you be making a video on the ten most incompetent rebel officers?
9:20 “single-handedly” hahahaha
A very young Orson Krennic also served during the Clone Wars. I don't know if he saw combat though.
"Officially, there never was a clone rebellion on Kamino. Unofficially, approximately twenty years after we were created, a special detachment of the Imperial 501st Legion was dispatched to Kamino, with orders to eradicate an army of clones that had been bred to take arms against the Empire. Our mission commander, an expert on the inner workings of Kamino, was a young bounty hunter named Boba Fett." "The bounty hunter left after the battle was over. He said something about tracking down a smuggler on Tatooine. After the Kamino uprising, the Emperor decided that an army of genetically identical soldiers was too susceptible to corruption. Future troopers would be cloned from a variety of templates. Though the 501st itself remained pure, the rest of the Imperial Army gradually became more and more diverse. We never really got used to the new guys."
Republic Officers Teron and Denimoor continued to serve in the Imperial Navy and were involved in justly and fairly providing assistance to ex-CIS refugees on Arkinnea, ensuring their protection as Imperial citizens.
Maybe it's due to me watching a Bioshock video recently, but does anyone else think Yularen looks like Andrew Ryan?
Old clones don't die, they just fade away...
Here’s a true list of heroes
Finally someone talking about how Vader accidentally destroyed a planet
Left out Captain Needa.
It seems most of the competent veterans joined the rebellions and the emotes was left with the idiots. The only real exception was admiral Yularen but for some reason he decided to leave the navy and become a high ranking colonel in the ISB which seems like a complete waste of his talents. The empire had no issue dealing with its internal security but after Yavin and open galactic war declared the empire would struggle militarily. Instead of wasting his strategic acumen playing secret police man Yularen could have stayed in the navy and been promoted to a grand Adlerian or a moff. In such a high position Yularen could have used his experiences from the clone wars to cold the Navy doctrine rather than relying on the Tarkin Doctrine.
