Star Wars: The Tragedy of the Clones 

*If you want to support me:* www.patreon.com/SWFT www.buymeacoffee.com/swft

The clones are so bizarre. An army of identical men, but each one ended up becoming a unique man, thrust into a war they didn't ask for, but wouldn't exist without.

the saddest part of growing up is knowing that the clones fought and died for nothing... and yet I still love them more than anything

"STOP FIRING! WE'RE SHOOTING AT OUR OWN MEN!" chills man, just straight chills.

The magnitude of this tribute is undescribable. S3 of Bad Batch will surely make this all the more valuable

"We're meant to be expandable." "Not to me." "Not to us." "Not to me." "And not to any Clone." *Finest* part I've ever seen in a tribute!👏🏻

Somehow Dave Filoni took millions of background characters and fashioned them into some of the most beloved characters in the franchise

Rex’s character development in the clone wars is truly incredible. He went from believing that a good soldier meant following every order they gave him, to believing that something more could come from acting on your own and doing whats right.❤

There is nothing more tragic in Star Wars than the story of the clones and you did a phenomenal job of showing that tragedy, but also the clones resolve to carry on being good soldiers

Words can't describe how good this tribute is. I got goosebumps.

"Gives us clones all a mixed feeling about the war. Many people wish it never happened, but without it we clones... wouldn't exist" one of the most emotional deep, meaningful sentences of the series. earned a sub man. STAR WARS FOREVER!

7:42 "He's doing what a soldier does. Sacrificing himself for the lives of others." - Colonel Meebur Gascon I feel like this line and the scene in the Clone Wars (Gregor sacrificing himself) was one of the most powerful scenes in star wars history, accompanied by the absolute astonishing orchestral score.

There is no better way to make a Clone Wars fan cry than to make an edit like this. The Clones were the best thing to happen to Star Wars, hands down.

Thank you for this. I’m a Marine Corps Vet, and this reached me. TCW means everything to me.

The Clones were the most tragic characters we've seen in Star Wars history. Originally were meant to fight and defend the Republic, giving their lives for others to live. But then, once Palpatine played a bonus card implementing the Stormtrooper Program, the Clones were all but discarded. Those who were forcefully retired ended up homeless, and what's worse, used as test subjects locked up in prison. The Clones do deserve a better life at this point after the Clone Wars.. It's sad that they all gave up their lives for nothing.

Were good soldiers Good soldiers follow orders Were schooting at our own men We followed orders Always hits right in the feelings.

Let's be real for a moment, ALL active duty, reservists, and veterans can relate to this beyond measure. Star wars carries an eerie truth and ominous tone that's overlooked, but draws inspiration from our own reality. If you know, you know💯. This video was amazing, and well done. Hit right in the feels! Keep up the great work

One of the greatest star wars tributes ever. Everything about this video and it's editing is just perfect. Good work brother, the premiere was a real emotional roller coaster. You deserve the name CW Edits more than me after this😭

The clones fought for a cause they thought was right but in reality we’re used as pawns in a plan that cast them aside. You captured the story of the clones perfectly and that cut from Anakin to Vader walking gave me chills

Man, 99 just feels like the grandfather to all clones. Wish he stuck around for longer.

The fact i can recognize the clones by their voice just shows how much personalitity they truly have...

The edit at 4:35 is absolutely amazing with Anakin walking with the clones to Vader with the stormtroopers. 15/10 the edit was astonishing!

We should all take a moment of silence for the clones They were good soldiers They followed orders

This just shows how underrated the bad batch is

The silent and subtle "good soliders follow orders" as Order 66 came in was haunting. That line will forever hold a cold, dark, and devastating place in Star Wars fans hearts.

Why did this make me tear up? 😢 The clones had so much character than the stormtroopers! May the 4th be with you all!

As a War time Veteran...Thank you very much for this! It's what I needed. Happy May the 4th!

This is what star wars should be what it always should have been what it once was. I watched it and got reminded why this universe is such a part of me. I wish the guys who produce Star Wars today could see this and get reminded like me what Star Wars stands for.

I love how even though they are clones, we can tell who said which voice lines

I want a clone rebellion so bad, but I know it’ll hurt.

this man could make better storyline and writer of a movie than any Disney's sequels. What a tribute, legends.🙌🏻

Forged to be a platform of complete uniformity, but through they’re own experiences and hardships they formed identities to distinguish themselves from one another. Made to be expendable soldiers, but many of the Jedi treated them like actual heroes and gave them the respect they deserved. For the Clone Army, For the Republic!

the best era in all of star wars. FOR THE REPUBLIC!

I grew up on the clone wars, I was born in 2005 and after watching the films my dad showed it to me. It has always been my favorite part of star wars and a big part of my life. This sounds a little cringe but I teared up watching, this was the best edit I've seen.

Such an amazing tribute on clones! Story telling and parallels are perfect. You have done great work brother!

Star Wars is a Shakespearean space tragedy at its core. It takes notes from each and every tragedy including Romeo and Juliet, MacBeth, Hamlet, Julies Ceaser, and even Othello. Great stuff.

The survivors of this incredible army will reach their conclusion in Bad Batch Season 3.... FOR THE REPUBLIC!

That "not to us" bit is everything I loved about the Jedi-clone dynamic

Ah yes, the old days.

This tribute is just perfect. Gavee goosebumps more then once, and the order 66 part with the "We are shooting at our own" gave me the chills.

''Gives us clones mixed feelings about the war.''

Now I see why my friends in the military love the clone wars so much

Just casually dropped the hardest Star Wars Edit ever. Outside of audio issues at some points, this is amazing. I hope you do an update on this once the final season of Bad Batch comes out next year

It’s… the best clone trooper tribute I’ve ever seen, no words can describe how much has happened throughout the years, I’ll say what everyone else is thinking… For our brothers

why is this not a trailer to a movie or something its amazing!!!!!

"That is what soldiers do. We should be doing more." Now thats some chills

The clone wars TV show added so much to the clones, their story is so sad but so intresting

" Then perhaps some good has come of it. The Republic couldn't have asked for better soldiers. Nor I for a better friend. " This breaks my heart every time man. Brilliant work.

The finest army to ever grace the stars.

I almost felt it in my soul man this made me cry..

The Clones story is a tragedy and you perfectly captured that here. Perfect tribute for Star Wars day!

I REALLY hope Dave and the rest of the crew who worked on these shows has seen this. I unironically think it would move Dave to tears.

Insane Edit! Makes you realize the brotherhood the clones shared. Live to fight another day boys - live to fight another day!

The clones deserve so much better, this is such a beautifull tribute!

This is the best tribute about Clones I've ever seen. And not just for Clones, but for the entire team who created Clone Wars. I believe George Lucas, Dave Filoni and specially the Voice actor for all all the clones, Dee Bradley Baker would be so proud of this! ❤️

I really miss the clones. They were just as much victims as the Jedi were. They were used from the very beginning and no one knew it. I remember the Clones. All of them were heroes in their own way, and if there had been a way. They could have been saved. They could have helped the Republic.

Every choice you made let you to this masterpiece. Thank you in the name of all the clone's fans ! ❤

Incredible job, my friend! I've never seen a better tribute to the Clones for years and you portrayed their brotherhood and comradery so well. Absolute chills!

I cried the whole video because it shows how unnecessary war is and how many lives it destroys, even in our world just because of one person's plan

TCW is arguably the greatest series ever made. Thanks for this amazing tribute

That Tech’s last single shot executing the plan 99, that was one of the best shots I’ve ever seen.

Literally one of the best clone tributes I’ve ever seen. Top notch work. For the Republic!

Got tears in my eyes watching this. Ever since I've finished the clone wars. Cant explain how many tears this brought.

The Clones are easily the most compelling characters in Star Wars.

goosebumps throughout the whole thing, this is absolutely incredible

I am not going to lie about this, the scene of the homeless clone from the prequels made me tear up. As a die-hard clone wars fan, I did not remember that scene and it hurt, way too close to home for our current day soldiers. Very very well done, thank you for the hard work and effort you put into this.

"We're meant to be expendable." "Not to me." "Not to us." "Not to me." "And not to any Clone." Masterpiece

This edit... made my skin crawl. This is actually the first edit I cried to and actually felt what those clones felt. They deserved a better fate.

The clones were true warriors. Rest in peace! Honestly the clones who died before Order 66 were the lucky ones.

I NEED MORE!!!!

One of best edits I've ever seen. If I have to pick 1 video as trailer for Clone wars, it will be absolutely this one.

The clones in my opinion are the single greatest part about Star Wars

“It’s just a kids show!” SWFT: Hold my beer.

I have no words to describe how perfect this is. All the clone tributes I've watched, this is by far the best I've ever seen. Even made me tear up. The clones deserve more.

I’ve rewatched this so many times in the last few weeks. By far one of the best edited fan made videos like this I’ve seen.

One of the most heart-rending storylines in all of Star Wars is not about the jedi sith or the war but rather that which we caught glimpses of each time we saw it

Bro is going to knock our socks off as he always does.

It's amazing how even while all the clones share the same voice, you can differentiate who is talking at any moment in this video while having your eyes closed. Big props to the show for doing that, for giving OUR clones the individuality and uniqueness they deserve

As commendable and heroic as the clones were, Palpatine never saw them as anything more than a means to an end. They were expendable tools, not individuals. And once their purpose had been served, they were cast aside and replaced. Such an ignoble end for soldiers who fought so valiantly. This is incredible, seriously. The story of the clones in Star Wars is both beautiful and tragic. Honestly, I've been holding my breath during Mando season 3, because any minute we're going to find out what happened to the rest of the clones, and it's going to be hard to watch " Then perhaps some good has come of it. The Republic couldn't have asked for better soldiers. Nor I for a better friend. " This breaks my heart every time man. Brilliant work. The clones may be some of the most relatable characters ever created. Worrying about our lives having no meaning, especially for men, is one of the scariest things ever. TCW is arguably the greatest series ever made. Thanks for this amazing tribute Literally one of the best clone tributes I’ve ever seen. Top-notch work. For the Republic! As a Wartime Veteran...Thank you very much for this! It's what I needed. Happy May the 4th! This was phenomenal. The clones are identical physically but they are also very different from one another and some of them are my favorite characters in Star Wars. Thanks, my dude. This was not just the best Star Wars edit I've ever seen, but one of the greatest edits I've ever seen. Earned yourself a follow for this. 😎🔥🗿 I cried the whole video because it shows how unnecessary war is and how many lives it destroys, even in our world just because of one person's plan This is the best tribute about Clones I've ever seen.

Possibly the best tribute I have ever seen. I have no words to describe how perfect this is. Of all the clone tributes I've watched, this is by far the best I've ever seen. Even made me tear up.

That is probably the best thing I have seen and ever will see in my entire life. It shows the plan for the clones and the tragedy, how they all knew what was right, but Palpatine's chip and the order were tooo for dug into them that they could not truly pull back.

I loved it so much that I cried thank you it is a masterpiece This was beautiful I love that others show the same deep love and respect for the clones as I have. This person said better than any other RU-vidr I have ever seen. Such an amazing tribute to clones! Storytelling and parallels are perfect. You have done great work brother! Clone Wars was my childhood and seeing the lessons it had taught us edited together was tear-jerking Damnnn *THE FINEST CLONES EDIT EVER" multiple goosebumps moments... Loved it Words can not express how amazing this edit was Such a meaningful tribute. Definitely my favorite now. Also, I was thinking about one particular interaction that I would love to see happen in season 3 of The Bad Batch: when Rex gets to speak to Nala Se during or after the assault on the facility on Mount Tantiss. It's a great possibility for Rex's character development and, perhaps, for Nala Se too. She can change her mind on her creations, Rex and other regular clothes can make peace with Kaminoans as they all are the victims of Sidious's plans. We should all take a moment of silence for the clones They were good soldiers They followed orders The amount of work that goes into these videos is astonishing Why carry such a heavy burden on your own, when you have your brothers at your side? You need them, and they need you. That part hit hard. That "not to us" bit is everything I loved about the Jedi-clone dynamic Well done, it captured the clone's code of honor and their individuality without missing a beat throughout the entire video. This would be a great trailer for the Clone Wars. The quotes are perfectly cut together. I really have to say, this is the most breathtaking tribute I think I've ever seen, The subject of the clones is one to be handled carefully, and this video used the subject beautifully. One of the most heart-rending storylines in all of Star Wars is not about the Jedi Sith or the war but rather that which we caught glimpses of each time we saw it I just wanted to say I’ve never seen any tribute video better than this. I absolutely love this and am just blown away… earned a subscriber in tech and Echo and Crosshair were crying out they were working with

I think we will never enough thank George Lucas and especially Dave Fillony for what they gave us And all these kind of beatiful edits

Chills, straight up chills. Every time.

I actually got a tear hearing a clone sing, a sound I never knew I needed to hear till I heard it

That was a great cut. I think George and Dave would be happy to see people treat their content with such respect.

This was amazing. It perfectly captured the tragedy of the clones and everything that happened to them.

I’m not even done with the video yet. I haven’t cried like this since Coco. “He’s doing what a soldier does…” And here it comes again!

Bro im speechless, this was amazing

The clones have become my favorite part of the star wars universe. They are very easy to empathize with.

6:44 gave me chills watching

I have no words... This was beautiful.

This was incredible. The clones will always be my favorite part of Star Wars. Thank you for this tribute!

This was Incredible. As Someone who grew up with The Clone Wars, It was My Childhood and this just made Me So Emotional. The Clones were the most Brave And Loyal Soldiers The Republic could have asked for. They were all Identical, and yet each one of them was unique. They Protected their Brothers, And They Gave Everything For The Republic, Only to be cast aside after being programmed to destroy the Generals they served under. I cannot express how much They Mean To Me. Thank You, For making this Wonderful Tribute.

This is incredible, seriously. The story of the clones in Star Wars is both beautiful and tragic. Honestly , I've been holding my breath during mando season 3, because any minute we're going to find out what happened to the rest of the clones, and it's going to be hard to watch

"Loyalty means everything to the clones"

Almost a million views is still not enough. Every Star Wars fan needs to see this. This video has so much passion and emotion wrapped up in it. I can’t imagine a better way to commemorate the clones. This tribute gives me chills every single time I watch it. It is a true masterpiece.

8:02 is my favorite moment, all of the emotions built up release with “You made me remember who I am!”

I got chills and the whole time I felt…I don’t even know how to explain it was just gorgeous. Thank you for making this.

so beautiful tribute of clone is best soldiers of galaxy . for the Republic

If someone told me a few years ago that I would care about those nameless drones with the same faces in episode 2 and 3 I would laugh in their face. Now here we are, Rex, Hunter, Howzer and so many damn others I love them all. Thanks for this great tribute to these great characters!

I love all the unique troopers of this show. Rest well brothers and for the republic

Man that plo koon line always get me teared up
