Peak Captain Rex 

Totally agree but I don’t think Rex dodges that spear Anakin refers to Rex getting a scratch right after this scene so I think it might’ve grazed his shoulder. Which in someways is cooler because he just Tanks it and moves on!

​@@8888LegomasterThis but a scratch

No, for real

Reminds me of Captain Fordo in Genndy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars.

Nahh seeing Rex slowly walk forward with that pure boss energy as spears land by his feet letting both blaster pistols rip without a sweat was boss Rex

This is exactly how I felt about the Arc Troops from the 2D “Clone Wars” show that aired before this one. That combat and power scaling in that show was a bit over-the-top, but it made for some *awesome* scenes.

wait till you see the 2003 cartoon this show was based off of

@@ramshackle0 I love 2003 clone wars, Fordo and the Muunilinst 10 are the best part of it imo

Got to love those hand signals.

Was gonna like but you’ve got 66 so we’re gonna leave it

@@adventuremime crap we got 67 someone unlike! Or get it to 660 lmao 😂

Fr

Same. He got a lot of good men killed due to his incompetence.

Honestly its not his racial hate towards the natives that disturbed me its his lack of logical thinking that annoyed me

Fr and then he just stands there in the middle as everyone’s telling him to get down and they end up dying trying to protect him

@@o-pl2ifhe was so useless

Technically they got reused for the flame troopers we see in S2 on Geonosis

It's almost as bad as only getting to see the desert armor in a single scene in season 6.

@@jedijam91I totally forgot about that armor! Such a crime.

​@jedijam91 and you could barely see the details of it cuz of the sandstorm or dim lighting inside the Juggernaut

Great snowtrooper gear model, great episode. Sure, design could be used again but at the same time I would not say it got wasted. It served it's purpouse here.

wish we saw some more ARC/commando missions or at least scenes showing their efficiency and what separates them from normal clones

This episode was brutal all around.

@@ColonelStan No dude, he meant how cool Rex was in the rest of that scene

In fault the Chairman was responsible for this. He was out of his field when he think it justify using clone trooper to for his internal affairs. I like the episode because of this. Also prove truly the Republic even have some incompetence leader.

Rex and the 501st were kinda forced to fight because they were ordered to protect the chairman- but the chairman wanted war. It’s why Rex literally said “We’re only here to protect you”. It was the Talz or clones, and the clones ain’t gonna go down without a fight.

@@iech0526 I mean sure it was in self-defense but the clones still killed a bunch of the Talz. I mean sure the clones were forced in some sense but in another sense they weren't. It's not like they had guns to their heads. They could have just let the chairman die. If they really wanted to they could have. The Talz were after the chairman not the clones. Don't get me wrong this isn't a criticism of Rex or the clones and I didn't expect them to disobey orders. Rex is not a slave it was established that Rex believed in what he was doing. He believed in the Republic. He didn't kill the Talz because someone forced him he did it because it was his duty. A duty he is willingly bound to. It's something he chose to do because whether he agreed with it or not because it's his duty. But he still chose to fallow through with it. That's the darker aspect of being a soldier I wanted to highlight.

I think it was more self defense for Rex and the 501st, the Talz thought the clones were their enemies and Rex and his troops were forced to fight

@@5o1stFilms Rex could have abandoned his duty and left the Chairman die. He wasn't forced to do anything. He willingly did his duty. Rex even says in Rebels "We always have a choice".

The chairman should have realized this the moment half the troopers were killed in the first minute. The Talz had height, strength and tactics all in their advantage. They ambushed the clones, boxed them in, then attacked both in CQC and long range. If Rex hadn't ordered a retreat, the chairman would have gotten the entire squad killed

Clones are Modified Human Just in Case you didn t know

Bit hard to sweat in that weather

I find it funny is that he dare have the gall to said he order the clone to attack the Talz when he just declare it a internal affairs matter. The clones just there to protect him.

That is facts we need more clones like this

Domino squad at least got a decent amount of screen time

@@Ph4ntasm4l well, two of them did

A Pantoran Jedi would be legally bound to obey the Jedi Code and follow the Order’s teachings. For most Jedi it wouldn’t be a difficult question.

Also great job getting 100 subs you deserve it trooper.

These gunships weren't equipped with them. Probably something to do with the frequent storms that would batter against the glass and limited visibility

@@marcuscersy2393 Got the ones on the wiings

"Don't mind me. Just casually dodging spears with minimal effort."

The armor is designed for blaster fire projectiles not physical objects like bullets or in this case a literal spear

@@ivoryrosett1980 seems like a huge oversight.

They’re thrown using levers by a species that’s really strong, it’s tough to make a lightweight armor that can withstand that I gotta assume

Spears in history have always been good against armour, they’re useful because the entire mass of the spear is focused down a single point, add that to the fact that those spears are bloody huge and it’s not hard to imagine them piercing armour that was neither built for physical attacks and armour that is possibly weaker owing to the fact that it was designed to protect from the cold in addition to blaster attacks.

Almost like its not real

But then we wouldn't get the utter badass that is Chairman Papanoida. Man walked into Mos Eisley with ALL the smoke

Not even plot armor can protect you from bad writing.

Because those are two completely different types of damage, which is why slugthrowers (actual firearms in Star Wars) are so deadly they have been made illegal in a lot of systems. Since most weapons in the galaxy are blasters, most protection was made to protect specifically against blaster fire in a way that the energy of the bolt is dissipated across the entire area for a lesser effect on the body. Armor rated to resist blaster fire cannot do much when you throw a solid metal projectile at it or you stab it. In Star Wars, people who survive a blaster bolt thanks to their armor go into medical care anyway because the blaster bolt still conserves some massive kinetic force that causes trauma to the body. So if a projectile that is effectively condensed gas can wound someone that badly through armor designed to resist it, an actual solid projectile with added weight will definitely go through. For example, there are videos on youtube of people testing medieval weapons on bulletproof vests and you'd be surprised at how easily some weapons go through. That's because bullet-resistant protections are designed to protect from bullets. Medieval armor had multiple layers of protections made to stop as much force as possible for the blade not to pierce through but it's equally useless against bulets. There is no armor that is designed to protect from every source of damage. Well there is, but it's way too heavy for a human to wear.

@@NolDragon I get the idea that the armor might not completely stop a spear but the issue is that from what we see they do literally nothing against it. Every soldier hit by a spear instantly dies and they get one taped meaning the armor is doing near nothing against spears which the idea that it can handle that basic sort of weapon makes the armor incredibly stupid. This is especially stupid when you realize that most of the spears are already traveling near inhuman distance which should make the actual velocity far weaker.
