Why Most Star Wars Fans Actually Don't Know Much about the Battle of Utapau 

Most likely. Get him away from Obi-wan and Ahsoka...

And Palpatine knew it was also a possibility Kenobi didn't survive a fight with the Jedi killer Grievous, even though he was the most capable of taking him on. Palps needed both Kenobi and Grievous dead after the Battle of Utapau for his plans, so the plan was that whichever one survived their duel would be killed by the Clones.

It would have been best that Anakin going to utapau I believe.

Well not exactly since in the novel it’s the Jedi council that send obi wan

@@TeenWithACarrotIDK the council and the senate agreed l, skywalker is the number1 of the jedi and he trust in obiwan, he ever fight against the kalee and if he dont spy palpatine, he will with kenobi

He is in bois! He did it! He said it! *air horns goes off*

Read this in the Trooper voice. *good soldiers follow orders*

@@LordWyatt same!

*some time later* “What I remember about the rise of the Empire is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the clone Wars, the 501st legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant”

It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word.

Of course it was also formerly a nice hideout for Darth Sidious and Count Dooku to hide a giant cyber crystal in the clone wars, probably meant for the Death Star.

@@topdog5252 I think that was Mygeeto. But who knows.

Exactly right, it was also an interesting planet to say the least

@@geetslys at about 1.00 in you made a mistake it the invisible hand not invisible head but seriously everyone make mistakes 😂

@@topdog5252 Does the cyber crystal connect with wifi?

Especially when you consider the passage from the novelization, which states that “Cody had served under Kenobi in a dozen operations since the beginning of the Outer Rim Sieges, and had a very accurate and unflattering estimation of just how hard to kill the unassuming Jedi Master was. “

@@davidpahlman8166 yes I liked that passage.

Think that was before the chip retcon. Always hated the chip idea. Added cheese to an an otherwise compelling story beat, and cheapened the whole clone/Jedi relationship.

@@HCUhardcoreUnited hard agree. Its way more compelling for the clones to know what theyre going to have to do and actually grapple with whether or not they can go through with that decision

Maybe Cody was already giving in to the idea that Kenobi likely survived & was already halfway across the galaxy, and just decided to cut his losses?

@God Dave works for Disney

In their defense, they were only greenlit for 12 episodes, so that limited what they could do. And naturally, the Siege of Mandalore had to be a part of this so that leaves them with 8 episodes. Then with the planned Bad Batch spin-off, it made sense to do the Bad Batch episodes to introduce them, as well as show that Echo had survived and after everything that happened to Domino Squad I think showing Echo had survived was an important thing to do. So that left them with only 4 episodes. Of course, they didn't have to do the terrible Martz Sisters arc they could have done something better. I know they wanted to have a lead in to explain why Ahsoka was with Bo-Katan and the others for the final arc, but they could have either just had Ashoka briefly explain how they met when she was talking to Obi-Wan and Anakin or at the very least only do a one episode lead into the final arc, not dedicate an entire story arc. Those other 3 episodes could have been used to tell better stories, like the Utapau one, they would have need to condense something to fit 3 episodes instead of 4, but still, they could have done it.

I freaking wish they finish that arc one day. Is tragic we don’t get to see such brilliant writing and performance realised in animation, and it just shows where Clone wars was going at that point, when it was cancelled. It was truly becoming the “really great tv show” George initially envisioned. Still I’m very glad they released that unfinished content at all! It is very sad though. I completely agree

I really wanted to see Son of Dathomir, Crystal Crisis on Utupau, and Dark Disciple animated. Obv I’d love to see all 52 unfinished episodes, and maybe we’d have got even more than that if it wasn’t cancelled. Haha. I feel like Anakin getting mad about it sometimes…

Agreed, there is so much to explore and that why I love making these videos!

Legit missed opportunity if anything for some cool clone designs

at least the designs were used for Purge Troopers

Agreed, they had the coolest looking helmets out of the Clones

RIGHTTTTTT ! WE NEEDED MORE ARCS IN THE CLONE SHOW FOR THE AIRBORNE TROOPERS, JET TROOPERS , SHADOW TROOPERS , ARC TROOPERS , AND SOMETHING REALLY COOL WE NEED IS AN UMBRA OPERATIVE ARC !

Yep, would be cool to see more of it

I would like to see that for some of the planets I always liked the cool shot of kashiik

​@@n8ivspat3n56 yeah it was a great battle

Would of been cool to see video of it in this video instead of just pictures

You want to question Lord Sidious?

The senate and jedi temple are both on coruscant too

@@le0_0on33 They weren't on the run.

Stop asking completely logical questions!

So stressful that mission !!

That mission was a pain. There's no cover at all, you just have to charge down a street and into a wide-open hanger.

@@stardragon7893 add to the fact you had 0 ground support aside from 1 atrt and 1 TX 130 hover tank meanwhile the CIS had aats and infinite troops.

Not as bad as Polis Massa or Yavin 4. So many grenades....

@@Enchie Polis Massa: Grenade Hell.

You raise a good point, and in any other war, that would be the case. But Palpatine.

almost all droids were shutoff; there was one holdout that resisted the Shut Down order because they believed it was a Republic deception so they just held out for years at some abandoned Separatist ship. My source: Star Wars Rebels S3 E6 "The Last Battle"

I’m fully aware of that, @@TLBgaming0330. But because of their given location, its irrelevant; those specific droids weren’t in an active combat zone, they weren’t relieved nor resupplied, thus your ‘clarification’ doesn’t exactly count…

@@nickvinsable3798 My bad; it just really was interesting

Honestly they should just finish the 50 or so episodes they already had half way done. But I would love a band of brothers style arc focusing on a platoon of Clone troopers from shinys to hard-core veterans.

They should definitely include battalions we haven’t seen before… or battalions such as 5th Fleet Security and 7th Legion that they merchandised but never showed

I'd pay good money for expansion packs to Battlefront 2 (the good one) that cover these guys like they covered the 501st.

@@indianajones4321 dude I see you everywhere

@@joeywheelerii9136 I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe

wish granted a vid on it is out now :D

No

The 501st legion is its own force

I don’t think so. No piece of star wars media out there tells us what corps it’s under. I’m pretty sure it’s just its own formation, like some others. Edit: Actually i’m not sure. Some places give me that a legion with a standard size is non-canon, while others say four make up a corps instead of four companies.

Star wars really needs to do a what if series.

Realistically, I don't believe they would help each other as it would still be the Republic vs the CIS, but they would also both be fighting against the Jedi. If Kenobi did capture Grievous and they survived being executed by the Clones, Grievous most likely wouldn't hesitate to use this betrayal to break Kenobi's spirit and finish him off himself the moment he got the chance, or he would shout something like "I would rather die than help the likes of you, Jedi scum!" The idea is interesting, but it probably wouldn't be your regular 'Good Guy and Bad Guy Team Up' kind of story.

I made this thought a while back, and I came to the same conclusion as you have. But, then I thought, how desperate would he have to be to align himself with kenobi? What if he had been fatally wounded in his duel, to the point where he can’t fight. I feel like he would see what’s coming (order 66, order 99, the rise for the empire). Knowing this, I feel like he would either try and flee, on the planet swarming with clone troopers that would most likely kill him on site, or try and align himself with kenobi to have a better chance to survive and escape the planet. So I’m not saying that your wrong in any way, not at all. It’s only a thought of mine that would be cool as hell to see and ik everyone here would like to see an alternate timeline where that happens.

I could see Grievous getting desperate enough to work with Kenobi, even if to save his own life, that seems like something he would do, even if he then tried to kill Kenobi right after that. But whether Grievous would actually learn from that experience or immediately go back to his old Jedi killing ways would be an interesting story in its own right.

@@DrAmethyst fighting against the Republic* Unless Obi thought the Jedi had just betrayed him specifically? Interesting question.

Claw feet dig into ground good

@@skinnyj123 Would anyone? Especially after the fucker killed your girl?

One of Grievous’ most important features is the fact that the Force can’t touch him lol

That is a thing you can say to every battle in star wars

“General Kenobi!”

Inhibitor chips were such a dumb retcon

​@@Kyle-mw3boWhy do you think it's dumb though?

@@AcidifiedMammoth it removed the clones agency and turned them into simple plot devices. Tbh, the story of the clones, bred to be the perfect soldier, turning on their Jedi comrades and friends because they were given a legal order by their commander-in-chief is just a much more interesting story than them basically being insta-brainwashed.

There's plenty of evidence that the CIS would've actually won against the Republic, such as superior Navy and other things that I can't remember currently. As sad as it is to say, as I am a Republic lover, the CIS would've won fairly quickly without Sith influence.

Without sith influence there would be no clone army

@@KingDerpy13 Agreed

@@cman12698 maybe so maybe not we will never know

@@KingDerpy13 true they would have destroyed the republic and crippled it since the droid army was more massive than the republic clone army

Jedi fallen order

General Kenobi

Alot of the battles of Star Wars are based off of Real World events

What? Cody's only noticeable scar is the one he got on his face and he never got killed by a rancor he hasn't got any confirmed death in Canon or legends.

@@skinnyj123 I'm telling you. he dies to a rancor on Dagobah doing a inspection of a outpost that was suspected of being used by a local gang to sell spice and other contraband, the smugglers were selling a rancor to the Hutts gang(a new one for Jabba, sadly he died before getting it) , and he was thrown into its cage, it cuts off after that with a rancor's shadow over him, his weapons and grenades gone and stuck with no armor plating, it leaves the reader to believe he was Eaten. the comic leaves off after 2 more issues having a particular set of fresh bones as this former outpost turned smuggler den is then visited by Darth Vader himself. series ends with the smugglers, as its main characters are cad Bane and a robot called Stix'sy-5, a reprogrammed Commando Droid. There is no further issues of the comic, I should know, I wrote it in 2006, and it was published in 2010 to Legends, and G. Lucas liked it a lot being a poetic end to a tired old clone he couldn't find a end for..

@@alucardhuskasai5667 what was the comic called? If it's a fan fiction it doesn't count as legends or Canon.

The End of Bane it fallows a bounty hunter named Cadio Bane nicknamed "Cad" I think the story inspired the Clone Wars writers with the interpretations of the character a bit as I did share my first drafts around in 2007 with a friend who eventually joined on creating the digitally animated series there should be 500 copies of it out there somewhere it didn't sell much due to the Drama going on at the time, I don't own the rights to the work I did as it was given to the Lucas Co., Disney likely now owns it and due to the merge, I doubt you find a copy anyway, they kind of wiped all the legends era materials they did own (even the originals given to the company) I cried myself for a good hour when I read that announcement

Would want to know that too!
