In any given story, 99 percent of all good-vs-evil is expected to end with evil losing and good standing triumphant. Evil, nor Villainy or Villains are EVER meant to be seen as people of virtue or to be recognized as something positive.

As for the companies stockpiling things. The issue with the trade federation's growing power and unrest among the worlds that would eventually become the CIS were well known by political elite but corruption and general filibustering in the senate prevented the aversion of a lot of what ended up happening. They knew that with the invasion of Naboo many systems would start building up their own local security forces as a response. Just in case.

An entire army of soldiers who had barely any choice but to fight, who found things to fight for in each other, their commanders, and the Republic itself, and who were ultimately used as pawns in a much larger scheme which tore them apart and forced them to destroy all they held dear. Those who didn't follow were hunted down, or went insane, or simply hated everything they had become until they inevitably died one way or another.

@@nicholasbrown668 The amount of clones that die across TCW is not an indicator they have plot armor. Plot armor is when an entire imperial fleet led by Grand Admiral Thrawn is defeated by a few fighters led by some random green Twilek As seen in the battle of Geonosis, there were about 200,000 Clones deployed. If they had 20 kills each they could kill 4 million droids. The CIS objective at Geonosis was to escape with the majority of their army which they did. The battle itself was a holding action to keep the republic forces at bay. LAATs, SPHAs, etc had destroyed numerous transports and even a core ship destroying hundreds of thousands or millions of droids. The tactical failure is when the republic fleet on Geonosis failed to destroy the rest of the core ships. The numbers of Clones vary wildly, between sources. But every clone was put to the best use as they could. Clone troopers saw a lot of action compared to rea soldiers, when they weren’t in action they were rotated as matinence crew, mechanics, etc. Clone troopers rarely policed the planets they were on. That was left to the PDF forces of each world. Ryloth, Pantora, Naboo, Eriadu, Mandalore, etc all had PDFs to police their populations. Core worlds also had their own PDF to police their worlds. But they couldn’t survive against a CIS invasion, that wasn’t their job. The droid army would’ve been much smaller on the battlefield than on paper. Not only did the Republic destroy the most major droid production facility earlier in the war, Geonosis. The republic had a similar sized navy to the CIS. Remember there were many massive ship building worlds like Kuat, Coruscant, Fondor, Anaxes, Etc. Venators we’re more high quality and the CIS generally outnumbered the GAR, but it was much closer than infantry numbers. The CIS also had similar large worlds, but they weren’t as developed as the core. Every republic naval victory could result in hundreds of thousands of destroyed droids. And as most crucial battlegrounds during the clone wars rarely had the infrastructure for massive droid armies the number of units is limited. Droids will run out of power relatively soon due to their cheap cost and can’t camp out like Clone Troopers. And if you still don’t believe me, many resort to the argument “it was just Palpatine’s plans” which is bullshit since Grevious didn’t really know about it. Did Count Dolly just deny him a massive portion of the army just for a “I need it for something else” or a bad excuse.

The GAR was and still is one of, if not the mightiest army ever portrayed in Fiction. Furthermore the story of how the army came to be, it's rise and fall is a fantastic story of hope and tragedy within the Star Wars universe. Great video as always.

"For The Republic" - Some guy who looked allot like deceased bounty hunter Jango Fett

One of my 'what if...?' scenarios is to ponder the question: What if a Galactic Empire-scale war machine was created for the purpose of good and justice rather than tyranny and destruction. I think that this is why I liked the GTU so much: It comes close to addressing this question. Although decidedly fascist in nature, push comes to shove, the Union refused to tolerate the oppression of the weak (perhaps as a cultural memory about how the humans were almost destroyed before first leaving their home system by what could best be described as interstellar vandals). A Galactic Republic following the failure of Palpatine's seizure of power would be similar to this, in my view.

The Republic and the Jedi were already doomed long before the Clone Wars. The Republic had become a bloated morass of corruption and weakness. Giving it the clone army wouldn't have changed that, and might even have made things worse. The Jedi weren't any better. They had become politicised, short-sighted and self-interested, caring more about politics than the Force. Hell, the Jedi Council was on the verge of staging a coup d'etat when they thought that Palpatine was just an ordinary politician, then Mace Windu flat out tried to execute the guy in cold blood. The whole point of the prequels is that both the Republic and the Jedi needed to be torn down. It was the will of the Force that the Sith would win so that, eventually, something better would rise instead: the New Republic and Luke's new generation of Jedi. And no, I'm not counting the sequels.

There was a rebellion by the Kaminoans in the early days of the Galactic Empire which pitted Clone troopers against Imperial stormtroopers, as documented in Star Wars Battlefront II. That battle I recalled marked the point the Empire began transitioning from clones to conscripts/recruits.

I wonder if there is any explanation beyond "Palpi controlled both sides and wanted them to be easily distinct" as to why neither Republic, nor CIS( both of whom have some independent members) didn't enact conscription. We don't hear about standing armies of member states either. Mercenaries on both sides have barely any coverage. Not to mention there is no mentions of droid armies of the Republic Yes, Republic didn't forget how to build droids. It still used billions if not trillions of them in all sectors from bureacracy to entertainment. Once CIS members left the market, other members would have taken their niche and proposed weaponized versions of their civilian models. Think of Mister Gutsy in Fallout which was based on widespread household/construction model. Or basic CIS B1, which by all accounts started out as redesign of logistical/protocol droid.

Palpatine's plans revolved around being granted more and more power by the Senate in order to end the war. And grieving families would apply a lot of pressure to end the war "prematurely". Thus the decision was made to have the majority of fighting be done by "disposable" armies with no families.

@sayerglasgow115

The CIS worlds were mostly sparsely populated, with their real strength coming from industrial output, not manpower, so using droids made sense for them. As for the republic, I think that Palpatine wanted to avoid doing anything that would make the citizens and the jedi more skeptical about the war, and conscripting citizens would definitely do that. The use of the clone army let him amass the huge military that he wanted without causing the kind of discontent that massive conscription would create. I also personally theorize that part of the reason Palpatine wanted the CIS to use droids is because the jedi would be a lot less reluctant to become soldiers if their enemies were droids. If fighting the confederacy meant slaughtering organics en masse, the jedi would have opposed it, but because it was droids, they didn't have as many moral qualms about getting involved.

@pomeranianproductions647

I think its pretty easy to explain. Palpatine wanted for the Republican citizens in the core worlds to have a common enemy to rally behind and blame for the problems of the Republic, as is common in fascist regimes. He used already existent distrust towards droids aswell as xenophobia. It wouldnt fit within a anti-droid narrative to have droids fighting on the side of the "good guys" and muddle the picture. As for the Seperatists: He may have wanted to have citizens in the Outer Rim believe they were more humane by using droids, machines with limited sentience and intelligence and not literal clones who were trained for birth and predisposed to a short life.

The entire war was crafted to suck the Jedi into a trap. That's why their 'enemies' were soulless droids, whom they could slaughter with a clear conscience and not question the circumstances.

Palps wanted the Jedi to be complacent, to willingly go out onto those battlefields where they'd be easy fodder for the clones.

Suggestions for future factions: 1. The Mavericks (Mega Man) 2. Hunter's Guild (Monster Hunter) 3. Faro Corporation (Horizon) 4. The Ferengi (Star Trek) 5. Confederacy of Independent Systems (Star Wars) 6. Allied Nations (Command & Conquer) 7. Organization XIII (Kingdom Hearts) 8. The Scrin (Command & Conquer) 9. The Dominion (Star Trek) 10. Trade Federation (Star Wars)

"Amongst many, the Grand Army of the Republic was the most efficient fighting force in the Star Wars galaxy." I think fans would also say the same thing. Even compared to later militaries. The Republic's still ranks one of the best.

For the Republic!

The fate of the clones is tragic. They are not citizens, they are sentient beings bred for a war that was planned from the beginning. The fact that they exist just to fight and die, suffering terribly, because a single man uses his political manipulations to achieve power is beyond disturbing.

Commander Thorn will be forever be remembered as one of the finest coruscant guard that fought with absolute admiration to the Republic he serve. he screamed *FOR THE REPUBLIC!* as his men were gunned downed. Fear men that do not buckle in the face of overwhelming odds because best believe that they will overcome those odds in victory or in death, defeat was never an option.

Grand Army of the Republic will be over triumphant THE CONFEDERACY wait the minute why that sound so familiar!? what do you think general sherman... i mean general skywalker

I have to say I enjoyed this very much!

How to tell others how old you are, without telling them how old you are: “Watch those wrist rockets!” “ARC Troopers, deploy!” “Shoot it down!!! Shoot it down!!!” *laser daka* “Was it red, red, green, or red, green, red?” “And he’s the explosives expert?!?” “Stand back troopers!”

The Grand Army Of The Republic is Most Definitely, without an Abso-fraking-lute doubt, my Most Absolute favorite Faction in the Star Wars Universe of All Time!!!!!!!!!!

Can we take a moment to acknowledge how totally original star wars is as a whole A bunch of Buddhist space wizards fight Neitizchian Ubermensches over the fate of the galaxy. A war between clones and mass produced droids, one being lead by an Asmatic cyborg with four arms

Wow, I love the visuals, narratives and dramatic music on this channel

Good work by great workers

Another templin institute banger (I havent even got past the intro)

FOR THE REPUBLIC!

I grew up watching the Clone Wars. In fact, it was what first introduced me to the Star Wars universe. I love the Clone Wars series and its characters, especially the clones

Dang, how do I always have chills after these videos

The “idea” of the jedi isn’t bad, a fully independent group of peacekeepers answerable to the government controlled through money or other ways. A independent group who’s goal is to help keep the peace yet remain relatively independent and not part of the government’s military.

The whole point is that the Jedi are independent and aren't answerable to anyone. They failed because the Republic grew too reliant on them, which in turn politicised the Jedi Council and diminished their spirituality, leaving them vulnerable to the Sith. The Republic's dependence on the Jedi similarly weakened the Republic, as they became corrupt and complacent, unwilling to solve their own problems.

We all know the truth, the boys of the GAR would roflstomp the Stormtrooper Corps of the Empire.

Those Remotes were created to help the trainees learn to better protect themselves. They weren't set to cause injury or death. It's like when people train using a sword, they first use wooden swords with no edges. The worst they'll get is a bruise or a smashed nerve, but nothing lethal. People need to stop demonizing the Jedi, just because they don't agree with their philosophy or beliefs.

@@yollmanontherun9074 Basically in RC Most of the Kamino clones didn't know. Some Spec Ops units did, but this was rare. However, the Jedi were very incompetent generals. Many clones hated the fact they were under the jedi, so some, like Ki-Adi-Mundi, were executed by even Kamino clones because Mundi had terrible attrition rates. However, many Kamino clones deserted. The most notable was that a full half of the commandos did, and even among the normalized ARC Troopers, ARC Commander Maze not on left, but saved the Jedi in charge of the special operations brigade as well. It was a VERY complicated event for the GAR and I liked a lot better because it was very human. "Do I follow orders, or do I do the right thing, and in turn become the enemy?" was a very powerful motive during this arc.

@@darasuum1462 I can see the appeal of non-chips and originally I was for this but I must admit to really liking the idea of the chips now. It just seems far too unrealistic that the Sith after so much effort would leave it even remotely up to the feelings of the clones. It just doesn't strike me as how they would work and they are exactly ruthless and uncaring enough to do it.

Palpatine played the greatest long game in fiction. It is a shame how many good clones had to perish for it

I hope they talk about the Droid army or the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS or The Separatists) next
