EVERY SINGLE Royal Guard Type/Variant Explained! 

Shadow Guards are easily my favorite Royal Guard variant. They are both super cool and absolutely terrifying.

I had no idea the regular royal guards had so much lore and character, I thought they were just random guys who wore red cuz it looks badass

Didn’t know how interesting Red Imperial Guards were until later on. Praetorian Guards were the only type of Guards I’ve seen in live action where they fight. It would be nice to see live action Imperial Guards be Badasses.

I’d love to see Cal Kestis face off against some of these imperial royal guards.

I love the royal guards My favorite one's are imperial Royal guards Shadow guards Senate guards and saber guards

This guys are usually have zero screen time, but this time sequels are actually superior. The only scene I remember from whole trilogy is fight with them

One of my favorite graphic novels is Crimson Empire, which was a story about on one of the Emperor's royal guards.

Shadow Guards is my favorite type of royal guards although I did really like the design of the Elite Praetorian Guards especially the faceless helmets they also had pretty cool weapons

The Senate commandos are definitely one of my favorites. I wish a new version of them was made for the new Republic that would’ve been a great idea.

My favorite is the senate and imperial guards and the praetorian guards from the Mandalorian and also from The last jedi

I’ve been hoping for a video like this forever, I’m o glad it’s been done!

THESE GUYS ARE SO UNDERRATEDDD. FINALLY.

Man now just seeing the rebels version of them just after just finishing rebels is crazy

What about the Dark Honor Guard of the Old Republic era Sith Empire,

You should do a vid on all clone trooper vechiles

They are totally badasses guards in SW lore

I so wish we got to see a fight scene with them in Return of the Jedi.

there's also the similarily named Imperial Royal Guard that was stationed on Mount Tantiss. Although they were clone commandos.

There are plenty of ways I can think of to end up with the top Warrior from a class of Warriors without eliminating so many by Death. Weeding them out without lethality would mean so many more of the best get through. Part of what get's someone to the top can be a slight amount of luck and circumstances above the next leading person if they are both highly skilled. Where if they retried it might be the other person that wins. Circumstances may include things like their prime. And I'm not talking about the prime age. Even Within days for various reason some people are just better off than they are on other days. When it comes to real life fighting it's more like rock-paper-scissors with the levels of power than just levels of power. In other words, when it comes to 3 nearly equally skilled Fighters, one fighter may be able to beat another, but the one they are able to beat may be able to beat someone else, and that person would be able to beat the first one. Also one group's second place may be more skilled than another groups first place. By having two from one group fight to the death you may lose one that is still top notch. You can always have a freak class of competitors where the second place that is killed is way better than five or more other first places. For these reasons getting rid of a second place by having two of them fight to the death is foolish. And by extension anyone else they eliminate by death up until then in a class is also foolish. You can have one that just needs a little more training and practice on one particular saying that gets them killed but as for everything else about them especially their fighting skills they may way ahead of everyone else. Unstrategically brutal not always equal popping out the toughest Warriors. And this is not coming from just a nerd. This is coming from someone who taught martial arts. Specifically one focusing on practicality and intensity. I would say the writer was foolish. But more likely the writer of this idea was just being Star Wars realistic to how a Sith would put it together. It is a sith idea for Only the strongest to survive without thinking of how much stronger a group would be if more strong survived. Same mentality where is this can kill their master in their sleep and then take up the title of being the most powerful. It's a silly to kill off your best warriors just because they're not able to defeat your other best warriors one time. When a simple tap-out or nearly killed but bacta tank soaked back to health should do just fine for determining "top of the class."

*Without a doubt the most underrated combat units in all of Star Wars!!!!!*

Ever since the first introduction in revenge of the Sith ❌ ever since their first introduction in return of the Jedi ✅

If the Royal Guard was ever a playable class for the empire, I hope those other cool sub divisions guards can be skins for them cause I love them all (especially the blue and the black with red)

Too bad we don't get to see them more. I do love their armor and capes

Royal Guards were so loyal to Palpatine that most of them committed suicide after the Emperor died, one was also present at the Battle of Jakku (allegedly)

Would the Naboo Royal guard be on this list? The Palace Guards, also known as the Nabooian Royal Guards and nicknamed the "Pearl Hats",[1] were a division of the Royal Naboo Security Forces based on the planet of Naboo. Palace Guards were commonly stationed in and around the Royal Palace of Theed. The Alderaan Guard also were considered Royal too in the wookepedia link too.

I remember reading the royal guard comic in legends and it was so sick

This is such a GREAt video! Well your videos ALWAYS are & Top Notch Lore! This is even cooler for myself then some of your other videos, because I recently, about 2 to 3 weeks now trying to educate myself on Royal Guards ..... Etc. Your video.jyst did it all for me in 13mins, FREAKING L.O.V. E it! I just bout star wars set of a Royal Guard & Tie Fighter Pilot CARBONIZED pack, so that's pretty cool to, Great figures by the way. Anyways THANKS for the video 💯 👏 ✔️✅

"The elite praetorian guards were even more deadly" are you sure about that? 🤣

I didn't know about half of them before

Just shadow guard ❤

Given what we saw in last jedi. I think the 3 imperial pretorius could take out all the elites

red royal guards can be taken out by yoda with a force push

I much prefer the shadow guard over the stupid inquisitiors

I’ve actually wondered something, but how can the FO pretorian guards even see? Their visors aren’t as visible compared to other guards on this list

Red royal guards are easily the strongest

Truly cool

So, shadow guards are just.. inquisitors?

You forgot royal guards in bf2015

Another banger

And this is why the sequels suck. Rye and kylo could beat a bunch of super skilled guards, while paz vizla who is way stronger in every way got defeated by 3 of the less skilled versions.

Shadow god

Don't the Coruscant guard clone troopers count as well?

Hi

E: Can you go over the Old Republic/ Sith Empire Guards as well perchance? The later galactic republic and galactic empire essentially created Neo-Crusader Mandalorians without the Mandalorian (still got the Mando drip). How is this not irony. E: the last two entrees lack any design flare. They are just spiritual carbon copies of the oh imperial guards and that is putting it softly. They are rip-off’s. At least the OG imp guards had deep lore and cosemetic deference to stormtroopers. The darn sovereigns for Disney palpatine is a copy paste of the FO Stormtrooper in red. Lame.

(:
