This Was a Classic Palpatine Move 

He was busy with Sith artifacts and studies.

And busy publishing his own books

Palpatine only fights the battles that actually matters in attaining his primary objectives and delegates the rest to his subordinates. This is actually a good leadership quality had he used it for the good of the galaxy.

Thats all he had to do at that point.

Bro can't be everywhere at once lmao

Star Wars, eps 1,2 & 3???

Yep

Rise of Palpatine

@@packetloss9931 Umm, Rise Of The Sith covered that!

House of Bonteri

Rampart was dumb but he wasn’t a complete idiot to leave evidence against himself

It's a wonder he didn't whip out his tockley! ;oP

there is supposed to be an Uno movie coming

He also whipped out a skip card and a Draw Four on Rampart.

That's what I love about both. They did a good job of explaining the transition of Clone Troopers to Imperial Strorm Stroopers. Feels like Andor.

@@briansmith2739 feels like good star wars, hehehehe

Palps always have a Plan B, well until he got too arrogant, but that's years from this point.

@@joluoto And the worst part it, it kinda DOES make sense why he grew arrogant. - he tricked and killed the great Darth Plagueis, stealing his projects in the process - he manipulated the Jedi and the Republic right under their nose for more than 14 years, both as a Senator and as the Chancellor - he played both sides of the Clone Wars right on the palm of his hands, with no one soul on either side ever suspecting that (yes, not even Count Dooku) - he was able to silence and even eliminate anyone who could've possibly revealed the whole plan, be it Fives or Maul - he was successful in manipulating Anakin, the legendary Chosen One of prophecy, into becoming his apprentice, his tool - he managed to erradicate the Jedi Order, the long held wetdream of pretty much every Sith ever - he managed to paint himself the image of a great leader in the eyes of the public - he managed to assassinate, destroy and make do with any connections he might've had with starting the Clone Wars, washing his hands clean from the Separatist leaders, the Kaminoans, the Clones He's done ALL THOSE THINGS and MORE, all while avoiding any real consequences. Yeah, when putting things in that perspective, on top of considering his ever growing old age, I now think it makes more sense why Palpatine by the time of Return of the Jedi was no longer the super cunning manipulator that he was in the Prequels. The in real life explanation is that George Lucas simply hadn't written and developed him that way yet back then, but I think the Prequels and everything later on helpe craft a very good reason for it. His ego overrode his intelligence. After so many (honestly) mindblowing achievements, with little to no real consequences come back to bite him, it is really not that shocking to imagine Palpatine just becoming too arrogant for his own good. He basically started feling he ws invencible, he was untouchable, that he could always spin fate in his hands. In short, his successes got to his head. Couple that with his advanced age and he became a shadow of the true master manipulator he once was.

Thankfully most of Chu Chi's reforms made it into the bill. So clones won't be let off with nothing, but they are going to have a hard time getting much more than they got.

@@MrDibara As Luke says in RotJ: "your overconfidence is your weakness"

@xertris I don't know, considering Rampart himself said he had no intention of actually fulfilling the provisions, I doubt they will go through. And now Palpatine is turning the public against the clones, I doubt many will care or speak up about them being cast off (besides Chuchi of course)

I like thinking that Rampart did removed records from his ship, and diddin't think some clone leaving backups.

That's true. Cade made the copy in a backup file and told Slip about it, who told Chuchi, who told Rex, who told the Batch. Still, Rampart was emotionally tone-deaf for not realizing a LOT of the clones would have problems with blowing up their own homewold and wiping out most of the Kaminoan race. Even if the Kaminoans were collectively kind of abusive "parents", they were still the clones' creators and provided all their care in childhood.

You are correct, ACGearsandArms. I came down looking through comments as I was sure I wasn't the only one who realized this error was made.

@@kenle2 ...who told Rex, who told Batch, who told Organa, who told Chuchi (again) who told the senate... lol.

He’s half jogging going “fuck fuck fuck im gonna be late to my dramatic entrance”.

In his Robot chicken voice: Amida fix my hood, Oh shit we're on Get In Position Get in Position. Clears throat, (voice changes to Ian Mcdiarmid ) gets into character

sprinting? nah, he was already on his seat awaiting to hear which of his schemes (which he had already pre-planned) would be implemented. he's a mastermind manipulator who plays the long game.

@@orokusaki1243 True but it's funnier to imagen him sprinting becoes Chu Chi give him a better and easier way to remove clone troopers

I thought his office is right under the center of the senate rotunda.

I imagine the clones accidentally bruise him , before given the order to execute him.

Clones: i've been waiting my whole life for this

Palpatine always has a plan C for a plan B for a plan A

Straight-up Star Wars meets Just Cause

@@LordEmperorHyperion I'm sure Palpatine would pull rampart aside, and tell him 'it was all a bluff, i've got a super secret mission for you', then put him in charge of something else. Rampart is ruthless, and loyal. He's useful despite incompetence.

Isn't that why Sith never really win? They're never content with what they have so they gobble up as much as possible but once they have everything they've ever wanted they are killed by one of their followers. That's no way to live. Always in fear of losing one's head.

@@twistedyogert Dooku called. Doesn't appreciate your appropriation of the idiom.

In the end, didn't his granddaughter fry him with his own lightning for the third time?

And the clones got a pension, which was wizard for them

I call BS on every other explanation!; Palpatine destroyed Kamino for one reason and one reason only!: The Kaminoans were acting under Dooku’s orders! They knew the Separatist leader created the Clones of the GAR and it created a paper trail that could lead people to wonder where the Clones came from! This trail led to the conspiracy Palpatine started to manufacture the Clone War and increase his own power! It was a small risk but the Kaminoans were a loose end that had to be dealt with. Destroying Tipoca City would destroy the cloning facilities so Palpatine chose to conscript the masses, cutting costs and severing the connection between the Clones and Dooku.

I don’t know who’s idea was to order rampart to destroy kamino it’s either Tarkin or Sidious. Only two sell fish, cruel ignorant, but yet cowardly masterminds would want to destroy the cloning facility to hide the evidence.

@@disneyknightspadilla1406 It was almost certainly Palpatine. You don’t take drastic action like that on a whim.

Agreed, treachery is the way of the sith and he threw rampart under the bus

Well, almost always)))

Ngl. If I was offered that 1 way ticket out of poverty and offered those things that trooper was offered, I'd of probably made the sake decision.

Until the atrocities start.

@@jonharrison9222good soldiers follow orders

The blue guy warned him a couple of times he is gonna walk the plank if things went to shit.

Vader was his primary goal. Vader was the reason he went to the extremes he did. Thats why maul wanted to kill anakin. If he dies anything sidious has done was for nothing.

@@doktorsmiles2034 Except he wanted to sacrifice Vader (like Dooku) so he can turn Luke to his side.

@@bursegsardaukar well because luke didnt lose his limbs like vader and luke is the new hype. Unless vader destroyed sidious

@@bursegsardaukar which backfired lmao. if he left vader for death at lava planet. he would had won. I mean lets be honest? who would have the str to beat palp? no one lol

He never got the warning that Dedra got in Andor that he couldn't climb too high. And ultimately? Rampart was expendable.

@@HHopebringer He did get that warning from Mas Amedda.

Yeah I really don't get why they're adding more unnecessary fluff to all this, I just figured the Empire destroyed the cities on Kamino because of their crippling debt to them, and that all the clones would continue their service while slowly being outnumbered by conscripted soldiers. I don't get why they're making it out that Palpatine is trying throw away an army of billions that are better soldiers than any recruit could be. If anything he'd want to keep as many clones as possible and even find another cloning facility to make more before resorting to conscription. There's a whole 20 years left before A New Hope, the Empire doesn't need to immediately be exactly the same as it was in the OT

They were in fact. In Star Wars Rebels you can hear some clone stormtroopers in several episodes, voiced by none other that Dee Bradley Baker himself There were also technicians and other roles that they filled / kept.

@@ArchVile98but DBB didn’t put on an accent when he voiced a stormtrooper.

In legends/expanded lore the 501ST (Vaders Fist) was made up of Primary of clones, survivors of the clone wars but since most of the 501st was on the first death star they where replaced with Storm troopers

Made sense for the clone war veterans to train the first generation of storm troopers. Heckuva of a lot of expertise to waste otherwise.

That’s the trouble with any sort of formalized church&state mixture like the Republic had. The Jedi would have been excellent in a purely advisory role in politics and as volunteer units in the military, but integrating them into both as leaders led to a bad situation for the order and the Republic. The government and military were hamstrung by Jedi incompetence as commanders and politicians, and the Jedi were corrupted by the power and influence granted to them.

I wonder Many ppl made theories about other ends of order 66 But how would star wars look if order 66 had never happened? If sidious never revealed himself to Anakin, is anakin died or mace and the others never openly confronted sidious and instead chose anotger approach like Order 65 or something like that. Would be interesting

That's a pretty strong argument there. Palpatine was patient, learning which buttons to press to make Jedi look like traitors and then PUFF He's The Emperor of The Galactic Empire ( correctly Sith Empire) Jedi's called traitors, Anakin became Darth Vader and he's at the top.

You also forget that Windu was too tunnel vision to see what was really going on. He and Yoda were far too close minded and too focused on winning the war. His arrogance was his undoing

That is an excellent points. Palpatine easily took advantage of Jedi Council own stupidities and arrogance meaning Order 66 would still happen without Anakin. The latter was a case of Jedi Order giving a gift to Palpatine on a silver plate without realizing it. Windu own jealousy toward Anakin in term of popularity for the Republic and his blind love of Republic to get recognition was his own demise. Some people thinking Jedi Council killing Palpatine would somewhat stop Sith plan were naive forgetting that Jedi Order were seen in a bad light for a while and someone else would summon Order 66 like Palpatine personal bodyguard.

I've only been watching Generation Tech's videos lately and he has this unique spin on exploring the inner workings of the Star Wars universe. I can't put my finger on it, like it's not just a lore channel and that is what makes him feel very unique and fresh.

Allen obviously focuses on star wars but his videos always try to be more than mere lore. He brings up real life parallels or points out the underlying message of the media on display

@@firetools i would say his videos are more technical than any other channel and links real world events and things to the star wars galaxy

With Soylent Red and Yellow coming to your stores galactic-wide. Soylent Green is an underrated gem of mine 😂😂😂.

Actually, the empire did have a program for clones who couldn't fight anymore dou to great physical injuries that couldnt be healed but unfortunately they were never managed and they had to take care of themselves.. Clones who still could fight were by then few in numbers and wound up dying out in the early years of the empire against insurgents and rebels who refuse imperial rule and left over seperatists factions that reactivated left over droids.. Any clone left in service in the empire were repositioned at bases to desk or drill Sargeant duty in training non clone recrutes that were deemed incompetent by war experience clones

He said he's going back to them later....though

Well he DOES eat...

Would have all been verbal with no recordings. Palaptine would have called it lies. End of story.

You could pin it on Tarkin at best, but even this is a longshot. in the Tarkin Novel Count Dooku and a Rebel Group of former Republic Intelligence Agents used doctored Holo Footages to broadcast Propaganda, this would have been easily cast aside as Rumors, an Investigation would have been launched by Palpatine which would ofcourse only leads to a Conspiracy lead by Rampart. Nothing was gained by accusations, just because they were the truth.

@@MandalorV7 Don't get me wrong I know it would not remove palpatine by any means. I was just curious as to what political move he would do to get what he wanted.

Rampant was a useful idiot, to be discarded when it was convenient. It's not an accident that he was put in the position he was in.

Oh no, Rampart is probably dead. Too much of a liability to leave alive. Cut out his tongue, then public execution. Looks good for Palps

True Star wars is possibly the (lorewise in scale) biggest Franchise ever. Let us see more then the episodes. Give us random planets with their intriguing cultures and phantastic star warsy landscapes.

@@doktorsmiles2034 I would say that TES has more extensive lore, but I agree, we need more cultures and planets explored in screen. A good example of this is Ferrix from Andor

Slip AND Cade were behind the backup copy. Not that it did much good since Palpatine was ahead of everyone else.
