Well, time to start my Star Wars Fanfic about the Clone Wars spreading to the Rishi Maze. I’ll be having Clone Troopers as my main characters since they are my favorite characters in all of Fiction. I want to show the connection between the Clones towards everything. Jedi, Kamino, Kaminoans, and the Republic. Nothing will be perfect for them but they’ll still find happiness in unexpected places. The Jedi doing what they do best with their troops, the Kaminoans showing a tinge of connection to the soldiers they made, Kamino being their home, and despite the Republic not seeing them as people, the Clones will fight tooth and nail to protect it and its citizens.
i wouldnt say "casually dropped." This is so good it's anything but casual....it looks like it took hours and hours and months and months to weave together, like a perfect Clone Wars blanket.
Echo is no longer Domino, no longer 501th and no longer Clone Force 99. He finally is himself, he's grown into his own man. He's a fantastic character.
@@dmd222222222222 On new york times two days ago at least it says (“The Bad Batch,” the “Clone Wars” sequel series, concludes its three-season run on Disney+ this week, and there are no plans for more clone shows.) and in the same article Dee Bradley Baker says “It’s been wonderfully gratifying to go on this journey,”
The Bad Batch did a great job of dealing with much of the Post-Clone-Wars era for the clones, but I honestly think that there is so much more to explore. You did an incredible job of telling the story of the clones throughout their time in Star Wars!!!
I would say in the grand scheme of things in the 3 seasons it has bad batch barely touched clones and the post war state of them as a whole. I feel it would've been better to have the batch join Rex's group/cause vs it solely focusing on Omega and the Bad Batch doing (in my opinion) pointless episodic side quests. You could still make it episodic but make the filler episodes go towards helping free clones and freeing them from the influence of the Empire vs the "Now we gotta go mining for Cid". This wouldve made it feel like they were actually working towards an overall goal.
@@Draklossse The Bad Batch's story was all about protecting themselves and Omega. Rex is the one who wanted to take the fight to the Empire and save the rest of the clones. If anything, Rex needs a series that explores that side of things. We saw the political side of it with The Bad Batch.
@@CrusstySculpture I’m personally not a huge fan of the domestic “protecting Omega” storyline of bad batch as I don’t think it brings too much to SW overall which is mainly why I make this suggestion, but that’s just me and obviously other people have other opinions on it. I would love a show that followed Rex and was more about the political implications of clones in post order 66 and a clone uprising, but unfortunately I don’t think Disney would ever go for it because they seem to prefer shows about a quirky group of people going on adventures.
@@Draklossse Fair after season 1 Crosshair's story was far more interesting since in season 2 it really explores the sense of dread of the Clones once TK-troopers started coming in. How every Imperial Officer looked down on the brave soldiers who helped defend their worlds and are left with awful experiments Himlock or left to dry once they were remove from the military. Season 3 was all about Omega and Crosshair bonding and it was fantastic. Their is plenty of plot lines for a Rex/Echo/Wolfe/Gregor show to explore.
A Rex/cody show would be so cool. A few seasons that deal with the insurgent clones setting up infrastructure that could eventually be passed on to the rebellion. More covert shit but also maybe flashback episodes remembering rough battles with notorious Jedi (a mace windu clone commando genonosis arc would be fire), clones snapping out of o66 programming & processing other traumas.
@@buster5661 "I used to believe that being a good soldier meant doing everything they told you; that's how they engineered us. But *we're not droids. We're not programmed.* You have to learn to make your own decisions." - Rex.
It saddens me beyond words how the Jedi and the Clones fought so hard to protect the Republic and yet so few in the Republic either cared about or respected them and their sacrifices.
The struggles of the clones always bring me to tears. To me, they are arguably the greatest stories of Star Wars. People like the Bad Batch, like Rex, Fives, Heavy, Echo, Gregor, etc., should be considered benchmarks for brothers. And good soldiers.
This made me cry bro! The clones were pretty much the entire franchise, they were the most underrated main characters you could have because you get to know all these people with the same face but they are all different individuals.
This show was not only something entertaining I watched as a child, but growing up with it, it is the very thing that shaped me into the person I am today, thank you Dave Filoni for creating something amazing that will remain a part of me for the rest of my life
I don't care what Disney tell you later, clones were the best soldiers, and Clone Wars were the best part of this universe which we have ever seen in Star Wars
OMG! Masterpiece! That's why I love the Prequels more than the Original Trilogy and even more so the Sequels. This period gives us so many fantastic characters that you can genuinely like and on top of that it expands the universe to a far greater degree. For me, the Clone Wars is the best period in the SW universe. Say what you want but every time I watch the scene when Fives dies I have tears in my eyes. It's just genuinely possible to like the clones through their heroism and bravery for the cause and supporting their brothers.
Wow this tribute was what all clones needed. They may have been raised to be soldiers, but they are so much more than that. They are friends, allies, brothers and family. No matter how much time passes by, I will always remember everything the clones have done for the galaxy. Good soldiers may follow orders but great soldiers know when to help others in need.
16 years of an era. Of a brotherhood, honor and courage. One of the most memorable moments for Star Wars as a whole for me was the story of these brave men. Thank you for making such and amazing tribute brother. May the force be with you always.
As a true fan of Star Wars I thank you. You have provided everyone with a glimpse of what a soldiers life is like. The brotherhood and the scars that are left from battle both seen and unseen. I only hope you continue your work and do the galaxy far far away the justice we as fans deserve.
Amazing how an army that’s made to be cannon fodder for a war that doesn’t matter and looks and sounds the same, can be so efficient, diverse and unique. GAR for life!
This video was great, and needed. I’m a retired soldier I can empathize with the video. I’ve watched every episode. This series was better than some of the live action movies.
It is the greatest edit. The clone era is probably the most important chapter of my life and the most important and memorable chapter of my Star Wars enthusiasm. "It was an honor to serving with you"
We're good soldiers, we've followed orders, and for what? Kamino was our home and we destroyed it, while being controlled and we could do nothing. But all we could do was just stare at it. Knowing we will never be the same, and nothing before will be the same.
I grew up with this show more then the prequels and as much as it hurts that it's over, I'm satisfied that it ended the way it deserved and how every Star Wars story should end, with HOPE.
Such a fantastic Tribute, the Umbara shot paralleled with the Bad Batch finale at 7:30 was too good! Always the highest quality edits! I'm thankful that I've found vocalremover through you for future projects.
I cried very hard to this. We grew up with these clones. We saw their heartaches and struggles just like our own. But in the end it’s always about doing the right thing. No matter if our relationships with people change, the people we trusted, or when we make bad decisions, we’re all people. And we always have a choice. For our brothers and sisters, who fought battles we never knew, there is hope. For yourselves, for each other, for the republic!!!
After 16 years, the finale of animated clone troopers comes to an end, been grateful that I was able to enjoy it as a kid and play with all the action figures and enjoy it, now its time to buy some armor with adult money lol. best video ever
The end made me cry so bad bc even though the clones are finding out what’s been done to them and are trying to fight back it’s hopeful but somber at the same time because we KNOW how this story ends and we know they fade away into history and that they can’t ever win and I’m just going to go cry now
They did everything they could, were loyal and yet betrayed. They sacrificed themselves, only to be another scratch on the board, a number to be forgotten. And yet they still fight. For the Republic!
Hearing that “Make these stories hopeful for the kids” thing hits hard, and it also makes me HATE those idiots who said the Bad Batch ending was “bad” and “soft” and all that bs
Reading the books, I hated the clones for what they did with order 66. Then watching the clone wars, I realised that the Jedi though they were the good guys were not all I believed them to be with the number of lives lost in the war using the clones. Then I saw how the chips turned them from friends to enemies and how it made them unwilling parties to their actions and I felt sorry for them. And now with the bad batch ending I realised that they truly were the last batch of all the clone teams ever formed
Gosh, man, you made me cry. Everytime I see someone make a tribute to the Clones, each vid has it's own share of feelings of love and respect and it is amazing what you could "say" in 10 minutes. Thank you for making this masterpiece!!!
I love how the 501st was started with just like 3 cosplayers in 1997 in South Carolina, or Virgina (not sure) and they just took Star Wars seriously at a time when there was hardly anything. This was 2 years before episode 1, so all we had was comic books and fan fiction and novels. It was kindofa desert. I was in grad school and couldnt afford anything beyond collecting the Star Wars Topps baseball card sets and even THAT was hard to find at the time. I'd scour comic book conventions and comic book stores, but they were getting rarer and rarer. BUT...BUT, this handful of fans, starting with 3 people just grew and grew and grew and became this world wide group and they got so good, a few got put into the Mandalorian and Lucas met up with them at Thanksgiving parades and children's hospital events. The 501st is a real tribute to the love of star wars. 27 years of just pure love and handmade costumes, man. Thanks, 501st, for keeping it alive.
"Remember to make these stories hopeful. To give that to kids because they really need it." - George Lucas Im so grateful for these people, I really did need that hope and imagination when I was a kid, Star Wars is LIFE
Everytime I watch the Clone Wars, the barrage blaster fire always scares the heck out of me because there's so many blaster bolts flying out and about and my heart just drops because one of the clones just died, even the ones who flew gunships and stood alongside characters like Rex, Fives, Cody and Bly. This tribute is absolutely fantastic; it cements the clones as the most tragic characters in all of literature and cinema, and the Bad Batch finale reduced me to a crying mess for hours because I was happy that some of the clones got their happy ending, and it was the ending that we wanted for all of them to have (Rex and the 501st with Ahsoka, Boil and Waxer with Numa, Bly/Aayla, Plo Koon and his sons, the Wolfpack). I also love how you've emphasised on the 'journey' that each clone goes through - they're obviously taught horrifying propaganda on Kamino but when they go off-world, they see places, meet people and realise they're more than just numbers and 'things' and clones - they're actually men, just as natborn human males (I'm saying human here due to their anatomy and physiology). For an example, Echo went from "there's hope for you yet, rookie" to become one of Rex's most trusted brothers. Hunter went from "stay away from our squad, it's all trouble" to "you're our kid, omega" and that is just such an incredible journey. Your videos always leave me thinking more and more about the themes explored in Star Wars' storytelling, and further cement the Prequel era as one of my absolute favourites (I grew up with the Sequels and love them too, but for me, the Prequels are simply fantastic), so thank you so so much for sharing such a brilliant piece of creation with us
Bruh this is incredible! It gave me chills! Such an emotional and fitting tribute for some of the most loyal capable soldiers out there. Your mission is complete now troopers. Your sacrifices and the lives of those who fell will not be forgotten. Well done. I hope we get more clone content in the future.
May the 4th be with you all. This week finished Bad Batch, just finished Episode 1 in theatres and gonna watch this and Tales of the Empire later today. What a great week for Star Wars Edit: This. Was. Phenomenal. Brought tears to my eyes.
This is outstanding! The Clones story is one of Loyalty, Duty, and Honor and also one of incredible sadness. After all the battles that they fought during the Clone Wars...all the lives that were lost, they remained loyal. I always thought that they deserved to be free, to live their lives the way they wanted to. They deserved to be treated better. To me, this is one of the saddest things in Star Wars. I love the Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, and Rebels. These three shows are the best of the best and the heart of Star Wars. Thank you for this amazing and heartfelt video... I was in tears.
The line about being different from droids always gets me, everyone is someone, an idea I feel is lacking in how many people look at the world, myself included. Edit: Thank you swft, your videos are truly amazing
