It also is a reminder of why the Jedi although not killers, we’re incredible leaders, even though they were military leaders to the clones they valued them as individuals even though they are the same. The combination of the clones and the Jedi made the military even stronger given the humanity the Jedi showed but also the loyalty and faith the clones showed their Jedi leaders in kind. Had they not had the chip. The clones I bet would have stood with their Jedi generals and taken down Sidious and prevented the Empire. As seen with the 501st marching on the temple.
But Sinker was right though. They came looking for Plo Koon. The _Jedi_ , not the troopers. Remember how often in the show they sacrifice multiple troopers to save a Jedi‘s life. Sinker‘s look on reality is bleak, but unfortunately correct.
While other Jedi may have been kind towards their troops, Plo Koon appears to have been the only Jedi general who considered his men’s lives to be as valuable as his own, and who valued keeping them alive as more important than throwing more troopers at a situation in the hope of achieving even a crucial mission objective.
I remember Seeing those clones die in those drop pods when I was a kid and it always use to make me so sad. I went on for a few years thinking about that one scene for some reason lol.
Watching the droids cut into the pod without any way of stopping them, then sucked into the vacuum of space with no protection? Brutal way to go for any sci-fi show. Hell it’s the sort of thing I’d expect to see in BSG or Stargate.
Wolffe being out of armor here has always been a big point that I refer to in my perpetual quest to headcanon a GAR organizational structure that makes some kind of galactic sense. I firmly believe that, due to the demonstrated* efficiency of the flash learning techniques that were used for much of the clones' training, they're all trained to be able to serve as naval crew and starfighter pilots in addition to fighting in surface combat. And that's relevant to this scene in particular because I interpret Wolffe being out of armor as evidence that he was filling the role of an admiral. *In the original Thrawn Trilogy, Thrawn uses clone soldiers that are grown in fifteen to twenty days and flash-trained to be fully combat capable by the time they come out of the tubes. They talk about it being thought impossible to grow stable clones in less than a year, but the reason for that turns out to be interference from the Force (which Thrawn circumvented by using ysalamiri to block the Force around the cloning tubes.) The flash learning is technically efficient enough to produce effective soldiers in that short of a time. As far as I remember, there's no evidence in those books for the multiclassing I'm proposing here, but the clones made on Kamino, at least the original ones, had ten years of training.
It’s so interesting to me that when the trailer for the Clone Wars movie was shown they showed pieces of season 1. I was expecting those parts to be in the movie until they started airing seasons afterwards.
3:33 the juxtaposition is nightmarish. Imagine these dumbass droids joking like idiots while you're about to suffocate to death. When the droid says "there they go" is the moment that clone in the background dies
The only way they could’ve made this scene, darker or better even is if they added a starweird and Plo Koon has to use his electric Judgement to fight it off it’s a shame we never saw him use the ability in the clone wars I imagine that’s actually what would’ve happened if the droids forgot about them for some reason and they were left out there longer definitely a good fanfiction idea
They're in the void. Force works like gravity. You have to pull to something in range. He cant pull it towards debris because it would be at risk of crashing the pod.
0:56 What do you mean you’re not in range yet? Lasers travel infinitely and in a straight line until they are stopped by another object. And even if lasers don’t work like that in Star Wars (somehow), they’re in space nonetheless. There would be nothing slowing the lasers down until they hit the Malevolence.
Nerding out, they’re not lasers. They’re like bursts of gas or something idr. But it makes sense that they’d dissipate over distance. They may also lose some of their heat (or whatever it is about them that makes them hot). It also makes sense why blasters fire actual bolts instead of shooting like in laser tag.
Yeah, “lasers” in this universe are just packets of plasma/heated gas contained in a magnetic field iirc. Halo has the same concept with the same limitations
@@nicholashe1198 yes that is exactly right. The Lazer systems of star wars are all Gass based weapons. This is why most professional snipers will use a kinetic rifle instead of the normal blaster
whatr ucking annoys me here is the fact he has a light saber and is able to cut the things off that is crushing the pod rendering their strategi to destroy it meanignless, but noooo he has to stand there and reflects 4 shots every 10 seconds
The whole point of the droids plan, is to make him do that. So that when he diverts attention, he will get shot. He couldn't cut them until the droids are down.
