Why CLONES switched to PHASE II ARMOR (and why it's better) | Star Wars Lore 

EckhartsLadder can you do the Martians from the novel war of the worlds vs modern day humanity

Please continue Factions Versus. Do the Forerunners vs The Imperium of Man. (Halo vs Warhammer 40k)

I know you watch Daddy Dohnut the Operator.

Hey Eckshart! im a big fan and ive had an idea of like Which is the best Marine? Galactic Marines (SW) UNSC Marines (Halo) Guardsmen (40k the space marines might just blow them out of the water) I know you have a similar video but im thinking more like actual troops instead of the supersoldiers

I still can never move on from the poor doggo.

AudioAndroid exactly what I was saying

roger roger

Logic

I mean the clones were commissioned way before the formation of the separatists and start of the clone wars since the initial purpose was to have a uniformed and professional standing army for the Republic instead of each individual system supplying their own defenses. The only people who knew the true purpose was Count Dooku and Palpatine since Palpatine was the one who orchestrated the entire war from the beginning.

@@BFIRE98 I agree with you, your point is sound and I think what I was holstering was the issue that no one address this topic at all in the Video, your explanation is perfect I wish it had been in the Video.

Kinda funny since Phase 1 is closer to Mandalorian armor than 2

@@XxMasterLANCExX But Phase 2 looks more like the Storm Troopers.

That's a good take

@scooty470 Depends on the Mandalorian. They had a whole civil war over that.

@scooty470 Well that's not exactly true. In the Clone Wars tv show we get multiple extensive looks at Mandalore, and the majority are peaceful. It was only a small group of Mandalorians that wanted to revert back to their more violent and ruthless ways.

I agree. I like phase 1 suits better.

Chris McCann I do as well, I do see why people like the phase 2 design, older fans probably like it because nostalgia

@@JamesTheFoxeArt The helmet looks way cooler

JamesTheFox I grew up with the clone wars tv show cartoon, that was my Star Wars, and between both phases, I think phase 2 looks so cool

Lino Guzman yeah

The armor basically voids all environmental concerns or hazards besides like lava. Phase 2 is also much more comfortable and flexible. And offered more protection than phase 1.

@@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot3267 "better protection from laser bolts" When do we ever see a Clone or Stormtrooper survive a shot from a blaster? The Stormtroopers on Endor were killed by rocks...

@@NickReffin Multiple clones were shot and survived several shots before dying. storm trooper armour on the other hand was lower quality iirc

The funny thing about that, is that the full fledged armour worn by the first generation of stormtroopers were most likely almost entirely made up of the ones from the war, so they replaced themselves lol.

This is about diagetic reasoning, not exadiagetic reasoning.

@@Thalanox nobody knows what those words mean, instead say this "this is about actual reasoning, not movie plot reasoning"

@@NorthernLaw_ You're on the internet. Right click on the word, search it up in a search engine along with the word define. It should look like this: "define: diagetic". "Reasoning based on what's happening inside the universe of the fictional setting" is a lot of bullshit to type when "diagetic reasoning" gets the idea through a lot cleaner and faster. "Actual reasoning" and "movie plot reasoning" do not explain what kind of reasoning you're referring to. I can make arguments for both of those terms to refer to both reasoning perspectives. You don't get to stop learning just because you dropped out of high school.

@@Thalanox though at the same time, you shouldn't be so self-centered to expect everyone to follow your demands, as especially in the case of your arrogant attitude, no one is going to follow your demands out of spite.

Killian Cook clones will always be better then stormtroopers to me

Oh yeah no doubt

Rex got shot in the chest and still kept going

Brison Tackett not for me. Stormtroopers are the classic soldier, with way more personality.

Rafael Roriz have you watched clone wars? I get where you are coming from if you haven’t but I’m surprised you would say that if you had. The clone are given much more of a personality, and some of their deaths are heart wrenching to watch. Specifically Fives... Rest In Peace Fives.😭

You see stormtroopers standing outside on the Death Star in A New Hope. Georges script described stormtroopers invading the Tantive as wearing "armoured spacesuits". So the armour protects the wearer from extreme cold, the vacuum of space, poisons & toxins, and hostile atmospheres. Though the armour could not stop a blaster bolt directly, it offers significant protection from blast effects & shrapnel.

@@blastech4095 i second this. Even if it doesn't stop blaster bolts, it is still better than nothing. Imagine if someone fell off a speeder bike and rolled around in rough terrain. They would rather wear armor than get injuried with a bunch of cuts and bruises.

@Avreus Oh yeah! Thats why he whelded phase 1 and phase 2 together. He said phase 1 can stop almost anything.

It does when you have plot armour underneath. Or if your that monkey sniffer guy Thrawn sends after them in s4 of rebels and never dies until the very end.

Looks like he doesn't have one or forgot it.

@@brisontackett5981 I always thought it was merely a helmet change when I was younger XD

I liked the phase 2 armor more, thats because of all the varients there are and how clones we able to customize their armor like painting it, armor attachments and so on

Yeah I like phase 1 helmet more

Aron CatLPS idk I don’t like the phase 1 helmet at all

No

While it isn't exclusively CLONE armor, it is actually referred to as "Phase III" Armor, because that's what it was, an evolution of the phase II, and phase III of Palpatine's plan. The only problem I have with Phase III Armor is that the helmet is a downgrade from the Phase II Helmet. I'd take a set of Phase III BODY Armor, but I'd then take a Phase II Helmet. Stormtroopers were actually super accurate, but the helmet visors were really small and the T visor was replaced.

No no, he's got a point

Stormtrooper armor was cheaper, less effective, had a worse visor that Luke commented "you can't see anything in this". It was made for mass production, just like the Empire went from the elite clone army to a way larger army of conscripts and recruits that have barely a year or two of boot camp before being sent to the fire. The Empire didn't care if their troopers were less protected; if they died, millions of possible recruits were waiting on hundred of planets.

but don't have clones inside

AT-AT Chat Yeah, for close-up shots, they could have put Temuera in physical armor. But the digital nature of the clones was inevitable, considering it would be difficult to find several people with identical physical specifications.

It could have been so easy to get rid of the ‘they’re clones so they are all identical’. Just say that the genome was slightly randomized to allow certain clones to be better at certain tasks, with the side-effect of slightly different heights.

Giglefreakz Even then, I doubt that George had enough money to make that many suits of armor for extras, as the Star Wars films by him were basically independent films with a huge budget. Meaning he funded them with his own money. Studios didn't fund it. It was all him. Fox just distributed the films.

I agree that there should have been some actual clone armor costumes made for the close up shots. However, watching the scene with bail and 501st clone troopers and realizing that each clone trooper is not even really on set is kind of amazing considering that revenge of the sith was released in theaters May of 2005. Now that's some impressive cgi to still be immersive and lifelike.

Seeing the Vader fan film accentuates the absence of real armor in the canon films.

Never thought about this one😂

But attack battalions had different colors I.e. 501st have blue, 212th had orange.

Imo phase 1 armor looks better but that's just me personally. Phase 2 is cool but if I had a choice I'd pick 1.

I think phase I:s helmet looks cooler though.

No, not in TCW

DL2 Jango wasn’t a Mando tho.. he wears fake armor

Phase1 is heavy plastoid armor based on mandalorian armor. So ITS HEAVIER and cant take few blasters, same for the DC15A rifle, its BIG but it can oneshoot heavy droids from long distances and a Jedi got knocked even deflecting it with the sword. Phase2 is agile armor, and rifle was replaced with short blaster carabines too. Remember Phase2 design was focused on replace the clones for new recruits, the need of a "most confortable and agile armor" like Phase2 is stupid omg, 99% clones had same size and strenght to move on a Phase1.

What good is armor if you can't maneuver well?

Phase1 is more heavy and has no agility, way better than Phase2 FOR BATTLES. Same for the DC15A rifle, Phase2 armor and a carabine is better for patroling, but Phase1 can hold few droid blasters and the rifle can oneshoot them from kilometers on open battlefields, Phase1 troopers are designed for battle.

@@darkfishthedestroyer139 but phase 1 looks better whit no customs. Maybe is the badass helmet idk why i like it more. Obviusly in terms of custom i prefer phase 2.

most likely, the people doing the CGI got didn't know what to do,... you know not everybody uses guns so yeah blame it on that or they got bored on doing the same models so they made a few different one and went by the rule of cool (would need to rewatch it to know how good or bad it looks) apart from that it's the same question on why sword fights in movies are so bad and not better than the Wrestling of Sword fights. by the way I'm surprised how they made such bad armor when smiths in the 15th century could make superior armor when it comes to flexibility and cover of the body it's not like joints cost that much and everybody beeing the exact same or very close in physical properties. Just one mold for every piece and bam you can start mass production for perfectly fitting armor for everybody in the army

They didnt need to aim through the gun sights because they have heads up displays in their helmets that's why when the stormtroopers that were wrecking the rebels on the tantive lV were aiming at the hip but they still hit most of their shots

It's probably just a cool factor or just a complete lack of any knowledge when it comes to firearms. Even with heads up aiming shooting from the hip would be far less accurate then from the shoulder. It actually bugs me a lot because there is absolutely no way a military would mass produce armor you couldn't shoulder your weapon with.

@@TheBuuurnz kaminoans were the ones that designed the armor and they were cloners, not military. And they copied (poorly) the Mandalorian look without understanding how it worked.

@@Willdarts that's the in universe explanation for people that had no clue about firearms designing and animating characters. I refuse to believe a race capable of creating an army of clones is incapable of what is really a miniscule amount of research on human physiology and how shooting guns works.

In most cases you wouldn't need the life support system. You'd barely use it. However you would always need flexibility. Making armor less bulkier was always something that was appriciated in warfare

@@davidj3841 Many soldiers deployed today will never see any fighting yet they all have to carry multiple spare mags, first aid equipment, grenades, a sidearm ect, things they will barely or even never use. Even a helmet on the modern battlefield isnt effective against bullets, it barely gets used in a way. All of this spare equipment is very bulky, makes it hard to maneuver , is very hot in the desert and will most likely never get used. Yet im pretty sure 90%-95% of military personnel wouldnt give up that stuff because it increases their chances of survival. No one wants to die on the battlefield so I highly doubt anyone would welcome flexibility over life support, especially considering the extreme conditions clones are expected to fight in.

@@BananaMana69 since when are we talking about equipment? We were talking about body armour and let me tell you you would almost never need a life support system as a clone because when you'd meed to go to space you would be supplied with an attachable one. A built in life support would hardly come to play and it's pretty fucking pointless. You would take a flexible armour over a fucking pointells bulky ass life support that you'd hardly use. Whereas a flexible armour is pretty fucking handy no matter what situation you find yourself in. Not to msntion that the phase 2 was better armoured as well.

@@davidj3841 First of all the definition of equipment is the set of articles or physical resources serving to equip a person or thing, so armor is by definition equipment. Secondly life support is not just oxygen, its a system to support your life so its reasonable to believe that the life support systems in a clones suit could administer medications to help with injuries and serve other functions aswell, which increases a clones chances of survival. You seem to be ignoring the concept that people want to live, i think that most people would agree that having a system to support their life is more important than being able to touch your toes.. i have put out plenty of reasons to back this up and all you've said back to it is that the life support is bulky, which is a very weak argument...

@@BananaMana69 We defefenetly don't know if all life support was taken out of the phase 2. We only know about it not being vacuum sealed and not having built in oxygen wich as i said is pretty useless. And the phase 2 is not only more flexible cuz they have (or have not cuz we really don't know) the life support. It's made out of space dragon skin or what the fuck ever that creature was. And it really doesn't matter what you call or don't call equipment because we were only talking about the armour. Bulky and unwieldy armour is a hinderence and it can often hold back a soldier. And yes they do want to live and better armour is one of the things that will make you live. Imagine not being able to get behind cover or sometjing just because your armour is a piece of shit.

Stormtrooper TK-72 more like phase 0.

@Nathaniel Winchester Why I like the EU, they are actually competent and feared. Brings a tear to my eye on how glorious they are, I wished the new movies could have done the same.

leon fierce well, what about Rex’s armour? It’s basically a Phase II suit and helmet, but with a Phase I face plate welded on in place of the Phase II’s.

that and the Oxygen system from 1 back as in phase 2 had it removed so they could get vact or poisoned i would like it back so i can space walk and the like

Keego Bricks Lmao you are right though

You're not wrong but for alot of people they want a in universe lore for it to make sense

@@noisygrenade9342 A fair point. I like the idea of an in universe explanation, but you should at least point out it's retroactive speculation. "They wanted to sell more toys, let's talk about how the changes can be rationalized in-universe" And you know, uniforms do just change periodically anyways. It doesn't need an explanation about efficiency. Sometimes things are just objectively worse but some bureaucrat somewhere decided they wanted to change the uniforms (usually to give his friend who owns a clothes factory a bit of govt. work [and maybe even a little kick-back under the table]) As a 40k fan I know all about rationalizing bullshit. I just think you should point out first and foremost the _real_ reason for something changing.

@@keegobricks9734 Well the problem is 90% of Star Wars lore is retroactive. At its very core, nearly everything in Star Wars is that way because the creators thought it looked cool.

Different mid section plateing, different belts, different elbow and knee pads, but yeah they look a lot alike.

Just like how the M1A2 abrams looks so similar to the M1A1.

In the films it looks the same. But if you look at the armor in the Clone Wars series, it looks much different (Phase-I is cooler). BTW, there's an error in both Clone Wars and Rebels. Captain Rex claims that he kept the Phase-I chest piece becouse it is better. But if you look at the model, you can clearly see it's a Phase-II chest piece.

Rodney Payne really cool thanks for the info :)

G C In the Legends continuity, their were several variations for different environments. Magmatrooper armor was resistant to lava globules, Swamptrooper armor was resistant damage from predators in wetland environments, and Shadowtrooper armor was made of a material that could turn the trooper invisible.

I kinda see First Order Stormtroopers armor as Phase 2 Imperial Stormtrooper armor, after all the empire and first order are pretty much the same and both have Stormtroopers.

It's probably like Vader's suit, it isn't flexible enough so he adjusted to the suits limitation. The troopers might be the same, they need to fire from the hip because they can't adjust their armor to the desired angle. Phase 2 just improved it and works with the user not limit the user.

@@AbyssWatcher745 Republic consumes millions of droids EVERY DAY. I've even mentioned it in a comment! Protocol droids, repair droids, medical droids and so on. They're pumped out non stop just to keep industry, goverment, infrastructure and business running. They're too ingrained into the society. Even at the height of Clone War, there are civilian droids everywhere in Republic. And here's a thing, B1 is a glorified protocol droid(that's why _someone_ got their head and body switched, but continue to function). And there is always competition so there is bound to be someone, who designed combat droid, but was just overshadowed by Separatist models before. But now, Separatist models *are banned* while the demand is *still there and higher then ever!* People were fine with killing millions to get such a chance irl. /cough/ Ford /cough/ Nazis /cough/ The problem is that majority of Separatist worlds are already supposed to have a standing professional army of some kind even before corporations decided to pump out droid armies. They already are supposed to exist in one way or another. Once again many irl parallels to how supposedly police forces were made into professional military in a matter of years.

I doubt clone and droid armies would mix well. It was more a question of quantity vs quality

@@futbolluva first of all there are a lot of noncombat roles that need to be filled. And a lot of them ARE already filled by droids. Fighters that are used by clones are already repaired by droids for example. Secondly, there is a need to create and hold the frontline for clones and jedis to be able to infiltrate behind it:\ Basically Space Marine and Imperial Guard relationship. Thirdly, you can just add personal droids for every clone that will shield them and carry extra equipement and add squad weapons droids that carry designated squad weapons. Like nowadays MULE robot prototypes. Or even leave squads of droids under the command of every single clone whenever there is a need to strengthen forces and no clones are available.

I think it's more of a issue of they are fighting droids and the clones might get discouraged and might even disobey orders because of it. It also might be the fact that the emperor was playing both sides and wanted the republic to be "good guys" and he just didn't care about the lives he wasted, plus like a comment already said the republic did use droids just not in a combat roll

I like phase II because of the helmet design

Same armor different helmet.

@@goldenfighter11 It is exactly the same armor only the helmet is changed, people want to argue that the armor is different aswell, but it's not, at least not visually.

Well, not really. Captain Rex was shot in the chest by a Commando Droid wielding a longer range blaster(can't remember the specific blaster name) and it missed his heart by an inch. Within about 2 days of rest, he was capable of fighting off multiple Commando Droids with the help of a deserting Clone. Blasters are extremely efficient at killing if they strike vital areas, like bullets, but if they don't hit any organs you're just going to be badly burned. Which the armor mostly prevents that. And you even see multiple Clones take shots to the chest/stomach and continue fighting, so the armor combined with their natural resistance is certainly enough to allow them to take at least 2 shots as long as they are not struck in the heart, head, or lungs.

The suits supposedly also had built-in med dispensers that automatically inject painkillers if it senses injuries. So those troopers on the ground are not dead, they're just high.

The armor typically disperses the energy from the shot, which knocks the person out. Still better than dying though. Still depends on where you get hit and with what on whether or not it is a lethal shot.

Funny you say this because in the clone wars a deformed clone took 5 blaster shots in vital spots before he even died with no armor and another thing the other comments are right about the knockout thing except for they forgot the in star wars the rebels used illigal guns and could peirce through stormtrooper were as stormtroopers HAVE to use standard issue weapons they can't use illegal weapons so of course there going to get hurt severely from a terrorist I mean rebel becase the rebels could bring out these highly illegal wqeapon and shoot straight throught them or fractur the armor were they were shot haveing the armor empode inward into the trooper

it really would be shock from getting hit, basically a jumpscare x50 or i think its stated they just get knocked out, like most of the stormtroopers you see get knocked out, think about it either shock or knocked out cos it really only looks like a burn mark or someshit unless its got that firey shit around the entrance hole
