Man seeing the clones so cold and faceless is haunting. Barely recognizable to their camaraderie and personalities in the clone wars. They are what stormtroopers will become. Damn you Sidious.
Tell me why these ones were more intimidating than the regs in The Bad Batch S1/2 lol (discounting the clones in the first episode, they were cold as fuck)
I feel like clone shock troopers has always been that way from the start, I never seen any of them working with the jedi besides Anakin. I heard someone mentioned that they knew about order 66 from the beginning.
The model seems to have finally been updated. The original Phase 2 Armour from Season 4 of TCW had the arms be as skinny as when the clones were just wearing regular cloths, so now the proportions have been corrected.
Just an additional comment... the clone models during the Jail scene look different from the models we see later on. They look like they did during the Clone Wars Series. Do you guys think it's possible this scene was meant for The Clone Wars
Anyone else noticing that the plain white Clone Troopers are using the updated model they used for the Phase 1 clones in 'Tales of the Jedi' but the Clone Shock Troopers still use the older 'The Clone Wars' model? They're broader, more angular, with less rounded shoulder armor, kneepads that are closer to the movie versions in that they don't fit together like puzzle pieces with the leg armor plates, and they have textured under suits. I guess since they only show up for a few seconds in one scene, it didn't feel worth it to remake the different pattern on their armor for the updated models, but it is kind of a shame not to have that consistency. But, yeah, I really do love these new clone trooper models and the progression of the art style in general. More detailed and they actually look like they're made up of a bunch of plates stacked on top of each other now. It's a shame we're only ever going to see them in these small snippets in these "Tales" shorts. And I love how while for the most part it still has the same angular stylized look that The Clone Wars is known for, they softened up the faces a bit for it's easier to capture the likeness of specific people and the body proportions on new characters feel a bit less exaggerated. Maybe I'm off base about this part but I feel like they leaned into how Rebels did faces and proportions a bit. I can't help but imagine if this had been what we had gotten to begin with in Season 7 of "The Clone Wars".
Although I will say season 7 did restart the clone wars style animation trend for future star wars animated projects, Disney tried with different styles but when season 7 was green lit and the improved animation did make a huge difference now we wanna watch more star wars with this style
Inquisitorial Purge Troopers already existed according to the comics as the last batch of battle-ready clones Kamino produced. How long should we wait to see Clone Paratrooper Armor in TCW animation style?
Very interesting how the Couresant guard new about order 66 ahead of time shows how loyal they were and makes their replacement by tarkin in bad batch baffling
Those stealth clone armors look exactly like the dark suits worn by the imperial cadets of Crosshair's squad in Bad Batch season One. 1:15 you can see the green visor and the gray stripe on the helmet.
I think Vader would keep any clones under his command around for longer since he cares about military efficiency and knows the Clones are more than willing to get their hands dirty to complete their objective. That and, second to Vader, they’re the best at killing Jedi.
The Clones are cold when their chips activated Order 66 but when the chip stopped working and they find out that they will be replaced by human recruits the Clone: that's all we fulfill our Purpose and they want to replace us? In the end the Clones were victims of Palpatine
Did anyone realise that these dark troopers are actually the 501st troopers you can clearly see the stripes the 501st had eventhough their changed the colors 🤔
Fun fact, the first generation of Purge troopers (the ones in Airborne armor) were the last generation of clones that were repurposed and trained solely as jedi killers
I don't think those troopers in black in 0:33 are clones. They wore clone armor, but in Bad Batch Season 1, we see them in similar armor and color but as human volunteers instead of clones.
@@mattheweaton9111 Have you read the recent Vader comics? Its been confirmed that the first deployments of Purge Troopers were all clones. A surviving Jedi actually took advantage of this and made the Purge Troopers commit Order 66 on a group of Inquisitors.
I Have Been Seeing Many Types Of “Clone Troopers” From “Star Wars: Movies, TV Shows, & Video Games” & Believe Me When I Say That I ONLY Respect Those “Clone Troopers” When They’re Loyal To The Side Of GOOD Never For Turning EVIL Upon The Whole “ORDER 66” Bogus Stunt Honestly !!!! GOOD SOLDIERS FOLLOW ORDERS ( FOR THE JEDI ORDER, FOR THE REPUBLIC, FOR THE REBELLION, & FOR THE RESISTANCE)
@@Alexgodofwar5662 don't you see why they pointed their blaster on her when Lyn gave her an opportunity something must have happened the night when order 66 went down they wouldn't just point their blaster like that without a reason
They are simply updating the phase 2 model. Phase 1 and phase 2 armor are completely indistinguishable from each other visually other than the helmet, so it makes sense that they would look the same. The only reason the shock trooper model didn't get an upgrade is likely because it's more difficult to add all those extra markings than it is to just slap a phase 2 helmet on the preexisting phase 1 body or to just recolor the whole thing in black.
@CloneCommanderCrater1102 I'm aware of all of that but it creates inconsistencies that aren't really needed especially since they aren't updating the armour in any other media
