Why the Battle of Atraken Left Clones Traumatised [Map Visualisation] 

Geetsly: atraken was once a pleasant world Also Geetsly: *shows picture of Theed*

"Tens of thousands died for the planet" The 1.6 million casualties of stalingrad alone: Am I a joke to you?

The Battle of Atraken was basically a mix of the Battle of the Somme and the bombing of Dresden.

Lucasfilm should just hire geetsly to do the writing for their battles. This is way more believable and entertaining than “let’s just walk the two armies against each other across the screen lul”

The seps dug there metal heels into the muck of that alien hellhole and dared the Republic to come in after them, so we did- 501st journal on Fulucia.

Ok so this is basically like WW1

Republic clone: Hardest campaign I've been in. Random Krieg guardsman: Hold my tanna.

7:19 "We've captured a Command Post"

Can someone explain how Geetsly doesn’t have over 1 million subs yet? Like seriously, he’s awesome!

Really glad to see videos like this for your revisiting of "Battles that crippled the Republic" The graphics you made to explain the battle are really cool and you explained everything quite well. I now know an actual city name from Atraken, as well as a little more in specific about how the intricasies of the battle worked. By the way, 8:19 The image you used comes from a battle that (while I think it should've taken place on Atraken) took place on Nadiem, according to the comic its featured in. I still really like that you used it, I prefer the idea that it was Atraken too. Anyways, can't wait to see more continuations of "Battles that crippled the Republic"

This is absolutely incredible. I never would've expected the Clones to go so far as to bomb almost everything and injuring innocent civilians. I can't say I'm surprised that the Seps poisoned the water supply because that seems like something they would do

"Acts of goodness are not always wise, and acts of evil are not always foolish, but regardless, we shall always strive to be good." -Martyr Logarious

Star wars:Thousands of soldiers died for one planet Mr:*laughs in Krieg*

Millions of people used to live here. Now, its a ghost planet.

When in doubt, orbitally bombard it... With Pancake Mines.

How to sour the populace's support for a war: First, find a resource rich area, second, start a battle that stalemates, third, inevitably give up on morals and just blindly annihilate combatants and non-combatants alike, and finally abandon everything that you just fought for.

Is there a story in which shows the Acclamator Assault Ship in action showing what it was capable of? The only time It was shown was in the Republic Commando game with another one firing and destroying a Lucrehulk. Later they say the Seps were the bad ones. This was a really major Republic War crime.

9:10 So basically, the CIS got the last laugh here

Thanks for keeping up Legends lore videos.

I always enjoy your battle breakdowns. While I do love the Clone Wars 2008 TV series, I gotta admit I wish we saw some brutal battles like Atraken and Jybuim. All we really got was the very epic Battle of Umbara and maybe Mon Calamari, with how much it took the Republic to win that one. But I understand the three reasons why the writers did it: 1.) It was still a kid's show despite the darker elements so they still had limits. 2.) They didn't want to paint the Jedi and Clones as evil considering Clones like Rex, Echo, Fives and Jedi like Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ashoka were always seen as great heroes. And 3.) If the Republic didn't have all those wins than how could people fall for the lie they legitimately won the war, instead of winning because the Droids were shut down? However, considering how large the war was there were no doubtablely some dark shit going down someplace. For every Liberation of Ryloth, were the Jedi and Clones did a lot of good, there were just as many battles were Tarkin or even some Clones and Jedi went too far. Also, how about a video about the Battle of Mon Calamari from Clone Wars season 4 episodes 1 to 3?

Battle of Mimban, I’d love to see some more imperial era content! 👌

I would like to see the Battle of Mygeeto in this format. The Galactic Marines are my favorite unit and there is not enough content on them.

Awesome video! Never heard of this battle, til now

I’m liking these map visualizations, Geetsly. Keep up the great content! You’re one of my favorite Star Wars channels.

hey i just follow orders

I would like to see umbara. I know you see the 501st side but I would like two see the 212th side of the battle.

Just one question, why are there ISD’s in the visual?

Keep making these videos please! I’m working on a lego Star Wars stop motion and I need to figure out a couple of things, some of which were answered in this episode

It’s like the battle of Peleliu

why is it called Clone Wars if there was only one war, that between the Republic & the CIS?

A scorched Earth policy.

Those troopers deserve their own show

Would love to see more map visualizations of lesser know battles ! Great content

palpatine chilling in his chair petting the equivalent to a cat

Battle of Atraken is modern day Iraq vs U.S. fighting for oil

I see no traumatized clones

How many clones where killed during the war and same for droids, thanks for your videos and info

Could you do a big video on the history of ship production or droid development plz, that stuff is class.

Phenomenal video, you've earned my subscription with flying colors

The trauma came from the Senate.

So it turned them from super solders to super super solders

These type of battles goes to show that the clones were highly uncredited for their actions

I think you should cover everything known about the battle of Dreighton. And maybe also theorise about what happened to everyone

I love the new animation style my guy keep it up

great video man really interesting.

They should’ve used like EMP missiles to only kill the droids

Loving this content, keep it up

Ugh, I remember where doonium comes from. The Crystal Star novel, correct? What a weird operation name, Katabatic. "Yay... we won." *looks out at bombed like hell planet with disgusting looking poison water and the slow death of the plants and wildlife all around the planet* 9:42: The First Battle of Bull Run back in the American Civil War all over again, I might parallel.

Did you ever do the battle of thule but if you didn't would mind doing that please

3:44 who knew they had raisins in star wars?

Geetsly's why didn't clones in the republic ever use LMGs and if they did why don't we ever see them

Yay I got featured by my fav youtuber

So they blew up the mining facilities they would need to get what they came to that planet for? That's Last Jedi General Hux levels of stupid

The battle sounds like the great war

Geetsly when the empire found a doonium vein how much of quantity is it in and how much ships can they build

I’m presuming the early-Clone Wars Republic would have the forces of all the defence forces of the planets that joined the GR, so they’d probably have MC cruisers and Kuat ships

I wish these were made from a broadcast/reporter point of view

Whoa. That battle wasn't a battle at all; it was a complete massacre. And, after the citizens moved to Trilos, they became isolated from the rest of the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War. In fact, they became a pessimistic folk, that didn't want to be involved with the Empire nor the Rebellion.

Just a quick question here. The picture after the intro shows Naboo, right? Keep up the great work!

They should do a stand alone show/movie about Clone Commandos doing a mission during this ordeal

What is the background music used?

The map visual is very ingenious

So it's the equivalent of the Battle of the Sommes and Verdun?

I love this type of Videos

If you are trying to preserve the material you are making armor out of you don't go skeletal you make something as close to a sphere as possible and as big as possible because you only need armor on the surface so we want to maximize volume to surface area. Assuming volume is what scales power.

The worst part of the Judicial forces, were that they had centuries old classes.

I like that style it reminds me of eckhartsladder

Random question...what happens to a civilian if they were to murder a clone? For example, the episode where Fives takes a taxi to the bar to find Jessie. And basically tells the taxi driver to piss off after Fives doesn’t pay the fee. What would happen if the driver just straight up killed Fives out of rage?

Dam this is lit 6th one

i’m traumatized you misspelled traumatized

At the very least, the republic denied those resources to the enemy

jensaarai1 youtube channel has been hacked spread the word.

I really like that new animation. You should use it more.

I've always be trying to figure the financing of all of this.

DICE needs to make battlefront 3 like battlefield 4 and have atraken as a playable conflict. Imagine Battlefield 4 style gameplay and warfare for Star Wars. Just eating shit and mud while laser fire is going every different direction. Give the republic AT-TE's, Gunships, AT-PT's, Juggernaut tanks while giving the confederacy AAT's, Snail Tanks, Hailfire droids, and spider walkers. Just an all out warzone with modern sound design. Commander mode would allow one player in the lobby to be a Clone Commander to call in Y-Wing carpet bombers, ARC170 bombing runs and Venator bombardments. Similarly, the Droid Officers could order Heavy artillery guns, Octupaterra Tri-droids, and HMP gunship bombing runs. I think star wars needs more gritty fights like these that really immerse players into true battlefield atrocities where its just a warzone of tanks and hailfire vs running around arcade style.

Amazing

The only thing the battle of Atraken did was deny the Dunium to the Confederacy. That's all.

WWI 2: Star wars boogaloo

Y-Wing vs ARC-170 who would win

8:39 is that ARC trooper Fordo on the bottom? Edit: Man shit if Fordo is there then the battle really was shitty.

Can we get a clone war call bf1 type of game

Should I question why the republic ship silhouettes look like Star Destroyers?

If the battle of Verdun had been AN ENTIRE PLANET🥺

This sounds like world war 1.

Space Stalingrad!

5:20 wow never knew that the republic had isd's wonder why they didnt win the war sooner with those

are EMP devices not a thing in the star wars universe? you think the republic would launch a few at a planet before invading if they knew there were millions of battle droids waiting for them

Would this kind of metal be effective as armor?

Anyone else physically cringe at that call of attention for a sergeant? I realize the GAR is a fictional organization, but it would have been funny if the sarge had snapped at having attention called for him as though he were an officer.

Better than "advanceed" plastic amor used by the clones and empire.

It isn't a battle, it's a siege >_>

Cover the battle of Thustra !! 😎

Do battle of saleucami next

Before "Remember Alderaan" was "Remember Atraken".

Why does the commerce guild sound like Disney a long time ago only a galaxy far far away

So basically stalingrad...

whats the name of the comic from this picture? 8:17

3:15 TRIFORCE!!! Star Wars explain yourself!!!

I would like to see the battle of Tibrin

Battle of Atraken = Battle of Attrition I see what they did there
