It’s makes sense the Clone Army was breed and trained to fight perhaps the most deadliest war that the Galaxy has ever fought in, that made the Shock Troopers in the Republic Capital the disrespected force within the Grand Army of the Republic, because they were seen by their brothers as glorified police force to the Republic elite. This hatred from their brothers was very much seen as a result of the horrors of the war, and the Shock Troopers were also seen as incompetent considering all of the terrorists attacks, assassinations, and kidnapping important individuals under their watch.

Quite a quality breakdown, honestly. I never actually noticed how senate guards gradually seemed to be phased out as the series goes on, without any pomp, circumstance, or overt commentary on it for the benefit of the audience. Not only do they function as a combination of military police and SWAT/KGB, but they can very clearly be interpreted as a hand of palpatine’s direct influence. Honestly, the way that the prequel era manages to insert political commentary on the nature of freedom, security, and the possible dangers of an overreaching government never cease to surprise me. For the life of me though, I’ll never understand why ‘shock troopers’ were held back and relegated to police service on the capital. Surely they’d have been able to put that training to better use on the front lines?

True, though I might say that normal police protocol in a situation involving hostages, like with Fives, is to negotiate for their release first and try to end things peacefully, not touch down and run straight in waving a gun and barking orders, that's going to result likely in the suspect panicking and someone getting killed, as we saw. Agreed "made no attempt to arrest" is the wrong wording, but the attempt that was made was a bit heavy handed and abrupt, deviating from what might be considered acceptable for police.

The Empire was already here and the galaxy didn’t see it. Fox could have used the stun option, the DC-15S and DC-15 which the Shock troopers were using during the confrontation had stun options and Fox never implied they were to be used on Fives, And they rushed a visibly distressed Five’s who isn’t thinking clearly at the moment so they’re surprised he drew a weapon, why?

@Daniil Melnik I mean if he didn't comply what would happen then? He'd likely be executed himself, and regardless of if he was punished or not Fives would still be dead either way, whether it be from a gunshot or Fox stunning him and then a Kaminoan euthanizing him. People never really look at it from his point of view. Fives, a clone that Fox has never met and most likely never heard of until now, attacked the Chancellor, was reported to be mentally unstable and/or on some kind of drugs, and has now captured two high ranking officials. Plus before that he was already reportedly sticking his nose where he shouldn't be. All of that would easily be highly treasonous, which we've already seen would easily lead to execution. When you put that all together, along with the fact that he most definitely had orders to take him out from the Chancellor himself, then I don't see how it would seem wrong in his mind to take him down. It'd seem pretty reasonable even. There's also that lack of connection the CG had between them and the Jedi, so they didn't exactly have the same opportunity to have those personalities rub off on them, or the chance to learn something new from their experiences. Regardless of all of that he still gives Fives some sort of warning, and very clearly wasn't thrilled by having to do this, nor to see the outcome of his actions.

I like the look of the Coruscant Guard trooper.

9:20 "Imagine...." Ha! Like every nation after 1945!

Can I just mention that we NEVER see "shock troopers" act as actual shock troopers on screen? In fact, we never even see them deployed to a battlefield... Calling them "Military Police", "Enforcers" , anything similar or just sticking with "Coruscant Guard" would have made so much more sense, but I guess George Lucas wanted them to tie into Stormtroopers (who fit their decription only slightly more) and WWII...

thorn is one of the most loyal soldier in aot

If the 501st was Vader's Fist, then the Shocktroopers were the Shield of Sidious.

Let’s not forget that Fox gave Fives multiple chances to stand down and it was Fives who picked up the DC-17 and pointed it at him. It was a justifiable kill.

God, BSG is so good. Love the reference.

This video flows way better in 1.25 speed. Quality details regardless.

"The shocking true about shock troopers" I see what you did there mhmm.

Fox and his Unit, Blitz and Bly are my Fav clones xd

its so funny how closely our actual govs of the modern world resemble the empire and shock troopers. order 66 is like the blue pill lol

Damn Shock Troopers. Getting to stay on the Homefront & not be on the frontline.

2:06 in Star Wars Commander the mobile game (which has been confirmed to be canon), all the "Imperial (albeit still wearing Coruscant Guard armour)" Shock Troopers carry rocket launchers

That game was quite fun, but like how Clash of clan clones go, it died eventually. Real shame too.

@@shcdemolisher the most remarkable thing that game did was canonising various legends entities like the TIE defender, AT-MP and phase 2 Dark Troopers, other than that it's just a Star Wars flavoured CoC re-skin

If i may, “electrifying truth, about shock troopers”

Please tell me I'm not alone when it comes to the Coruscant Guard i think back to Maj General Armstrong's words

"The shocking truth about shock troopers" This was a funny line.

I think we need more content where Rebels get to gun down Imperial shock troopers.

the other way around. clone shocktroopers and literally every clone were way more ruthless against rebels rather gunning them with a bunch of civilians too because a good seperatist scum is a dead one and clones and Imperials didnt seperate between them especially clones who finally got to blast the organic seps who hid behind the droids

Why? Why not droids gunning down clone ones? Plus imp ones were actually good at their job(s), they were more popular with citizens and were better at..... being shocktroops.

Sounds like the Roman Praetorian Guard in a lot of ways.

Well, if there's one good thing that can be said about Shock Troopers, it's that they have one of the best armor patterns/color schemes from the prequels. I never really understood why the Shock Corp a.k.a. the Senate Guard was never used for actual shock tactics, but eh what're you gonna do

The Empire did. It also became better at policing and soldiering. Probably because Vader kills Fox early in the Empire

Really though, the coruscant guard are very underrated. Despite being given a bad name they were a pretty cool looking and interesting unit in the Republic.

Commander Thire will be replace Cody who Betrayed The Empire, it possible Cody kills Admiral Rampart in The Bad Batch season 2, Commander Thire will become work with Crosshair, Cody will join The Rebels.

To be fair to these hated Clones; Coruscant Guard still had a lot of duties. Riot Control, searching for Insurgency on Coruscant, protecting Senators off world, and other Core Defense Contingencies. Coruscant Guard had a lot of responsibility. These guys pretty much served Palpatine directly, more so than any other unit for obvious reasons, and did what the Chancellor asked of them. Commander Fox himself was basically Palpatine's Right-Hand Man, as far as Coruscant military forces go. Clone Commanders and Captains don't just fall off trees, and Fox was chosen for such a position likely because, as Geetsly mentioned, he was simply good and what he did, and was a capable leader. He didn't deserve such an unceremonious death at the hands of Vader, you guys hate Commander Fox WAY too much, and I stand by that.

with the best looking armor

Whether you like fox or not their were good shock troopers aside from thorn, and thire, who only did any wrong because of his inhibitor chip, their was also commander stone.

Thorn was an idiot

Technically Their much more than Proto Stormtroopers...... Their The Imbodyment of Proto- Imperial ShockTroopers from The very beginning of The Clone War.

Because their phase 1 armor was the coolest

They Look cool so I love em, also Good Soldiers Follow Orders

My favourite clone regiment is the Coruscant Guard

Shock Troopers were raised on Coruscant's moon.

That was shocking

Man i like the different voice lol makes it fill fresh

and still my favorite class of clone trooper.

I love how the empire seem like they are hiring the most dangerous serial killer to become Shock trooper

They may be hated but in my opinion they have the coolest armour

Just made an red imperial dropship for imperial ones, also made and decaled custom 501st guys for my 501st dropshio plus the shadow trooper snd regular grey ones, should make some vids maybe.

So this is like ODSTs being cops instead of their intended purpose.
