I think the episodes of Clone Wars about the Citadel- which was entirely about a secret route to Coruscant- is about the route being discovered by Palpatine.

Coruscant is basically the US of Star Wars. No direct attacks in so long that nobody really remembers it. If one were to happen, it would be shocking, unexpected, and terrifying
Something else I noticed is how similar the attack is to the Tet offensive of the Vietnam war, especially the effect the militarily faild attack had a huge psychological effect on the general population

“Revenge of the Sith only takes place over a few days” That would be one quick gestation period for Padme, I reckon 7-8 months is the true figure. It’s also implied to be a long time in the siege of Mandalore arc of Clone Wars.

"Revenge of the Sith only takes place over a few days." Technically, there's no direct statement of this that I'm aware of. Based on travel times and the fact that Padme is fully ready to give birth - even somewhat prematurely - indicates that either Anakin hasn't seen Padme for over 6 months by the time Revenge of the Sith takes place, or that there is more time that passes which we don't see. The latter seems likely.
@@callumpears1523 the novel isn't canon, so that's just a clue at best. But, even assuming they've been apart that long, the idea that only a few days pass between the Siege of Coruscant and the declaration of the Empire doesn't make much sense
@@emberfist8347 Evidence for it being mere days, other than conjecture? Because yes, they haven't seen each other in months, but over 6 months? That leaves a half-year gap in the Clone Wars timeline.
Not only that but Labyrinth of Evil also states that Palpatine also coordinated the attack because the Jedi had become aware of Sidious and were actively tracking him reaching Palpatine's home before the attack happens. A squadron clone troopers led by Mace Windu, who left to help when the attack goes down, actually reached Sidious' secret bunker and swifty killed by him and a dying clone trooper sees this as Palpatine/Sidious scrolls casually over his dying body making no effort to hide himself.
I think the gravity of the battle isn't conveyed very well by the movie. The battle is way too light hearted to understand what it actually leads to. And also, it would be nice if it told a bit more about Palpatine's popularity in the general populace.
I'm pretty sure the "Clone Wars" arc with the Citadel was about the Republic securing the information about the hyperspace lane. Ahsoka had 1 half; Tarkin had the other half. It ended with Yoda saying he would talk to the Chancellor about what to do with the two halves of the information.
I find the battle over Coruscant so interesting because it's the largest engagement of the clone wars by far. No other battle comes even close to the scale of Coruscant's battle. Any other engagement we see in the clone wars probably averages out ca. 10 ships or something in an engagement, but Coruscant sticks out like a sore thumb with thousands of ships present. It's almost as if the CIS and Republic used like, 50% of their forces to battle on every other planet in the galaxy, but reserved the other 50% for that ONE single engagement over Coruscant.
@@papapalps2415 That sure was a lot of information my good sir. But I read trough it. And what this is telling me, is that there was likely larger engagements than the one on Coruscant, we just don't have the evidence for it. So, the possibility that there were larger engagements are for whatever reason very high, there just isn't any examples of it. Albeit, I digress, sure, in the 2003 clone wars we got the Muunilist battle, which I believe stated to have had 200 acclamators involved? So I can see where you are coming from, but still. Coruscant was the capital of the galaxy, and probably one of the most important worlds in the Galactic Republic. Sure, the defense fleet was at a weakened state, but that doesn't mean that combined with the Open Circle Fleets and whatever secret fleets Palpatine had thrown in, wouldn't have made Coruscant one of, if not the biggest engagement of the clone wars. Whatever the CIS are concerned, Grievous gathered every ship he could muster for the invasion. Which likely would have made the CIS fleet the largest in the war thus far. Sure, the whole 50% at Coruscant, 50% elsewhere might have been an exaggeration from my side, but still, the Coruscant engagement (with the information we are given) seem to have been the absolute largest engagement in the clone wars. There simply isn't any other examples that points to it not being so. I'll be open for the possibility that there were larger engagements, but with no examples or information stating anything close to it, I am gonna stick with what we know for sure, rather than pure speculation based on probability.
@@papapalps2415 Alright, alright. I want to conclude this by saying that as far as we know, Coruscant was the largest engagement of the clone wars. There's no mention of it being so, but there is no mention of anything stating otherwise either. What's more is that from what we have seen so far, and from what we are aware of, there's no other battle in the clone wars that is quite as big as the one seen on Coruscant. Albeit, there is theoretical evidence that would suggest the existence of battles of larger scale. I will however say that I personally would find it almost poetic, that the battle at the end of the clone wars, at the capital of the Republic, would have the largest battle of it all. After all, Coruscant's importance and significance can't be overshadowed. And what better place would there be for the biggest and most significant last stand for the CIS, right? It just feels like the right thing to have such an engagement being the biggest. Also, I was certain Palpatine had some hidden fleets he brought into the battle with completely new, never before seen warships (Imperators and Tectors in my mind.) But maybe that fleet was part of the Open Circle fleets? Also also. Wasn't the communications network of Coruscant completely borked due to how many ships entered trough hyperspace? Feels almost like that could be some way of saying that the battle over Coruscant wasn't just big, but it was unusually massive, you know.
The flying civilian traffic during the Jedi purge calls B.S. on the martial law clamp down you mentioned. During martial law there is generally only military vehicles a cruising around.
Fleet battle between Grand admiral Thrawn vs. Ender Wiggin Each one has an equal sized fleet with equally capable subordinates, and since Ender is from a different universe each has equal understanding of the technology they’re using. They are in command of Star Wars vessels. Pick a famous fleet of your choosing I’d suggest death squadron.
Two ideas I’d like to see made into a video: when did palpatine originally plan on executing order 66; and how come during a battle, when force users or “bosses” fought, most troopers would just ignore them to the point of just passing them mid battle instead of helping. (Example: during the old republic when Malgus and Satille Shan dueled on Alderaan)
The first answer he was planning Order 66 at roughly the time he does it in the film. The second one, most of the troops are tangled up with the enemy soldiers during those fights.
Part of the answer for the second one is that when Jedi and Sith fight, they use the Force to speed up their actions to the point where most soldiers sometimes wouldn't be able to see anything but strobing lights, and wouldn't try to help for fear of killing their ally rather than the enemy. Most visual Star Wars media doesn't portray that very well, and I think a lot of the older written material didn't realize that was a thing (likely because it wasn't), but it's canonical at least in Legends.
The more I hear about Star Wars Squadrons and the tournaments that are going on.. the sadder I get that I don't have a squad to play it with and thus have stopped playing. I was a pretty darn good Interceptor pilot (IMO)
@@Jacgren Yeah me too. I would understand if events took place during a few different days that were scattered over several months, but I'd have to watch it again to see if everything between rescuing Palpatine & Obi-Wan leaving Mustafar could've happened in just a few days. It seems like a lot but maybe it's possible. (I'd leave the epilogue out of this because that alone could've taken more than a few days & for this I'm only concerned with the bulk of the film). I've just never heard an official word on the timeframe of RotS so I'm really curious what the source of that info is.
@@emberfist8347 doesn't Padme progress through a few months of pregnancy during the film? At the beginning she seems to be at the beginning of her term, and then by the final duel she's basically ready to give birth
So far my favorite attack on coruscant has to be the sacking of coruscant. Just because how well planned and executed it was. The republic didn't know what hit them
Vs matchup Yss-1000 saber( Halo Reach) vs T-65 X-wing(Star Wars). 2 rounds round 1 average pilot in each round 2 noble 6 in the saber vs Wedge Antilles in the X-wing
I really wish I never stumbled upon this video. I always saw the battle of Courasant as this badass battle and if the Republic lost it would be the end and if the CIS lost it would cancel all their major offensives in the future and the Republic won but now, whenever I watch episode 3 all I can think of is just nightmares.
I don't know how long it's been when you last did a what-if scenario with star wars fleets. If you consider it might I reccomend the battle of attalon from star wars rebels? How would you have handled it as either an alliance or imperial commander?
Dumb question. When Palpatine told Anakin to kill Dooku, why didn't Dooku say 'before you kill me just know that dude is a sith lord' as an eff you to Palpatine?

For Darth Sidious the Clone Wars were a galactic scale chess play against himself, and the battle of Coruscant was the "checkmate" for the galaxy.
That would imply that he already had full control. But I see what you mean.
@@WonkelDee He had enough control that could orchestrate this whole war. There is a reason that Palpatine only got involved when Darth Maul showed up.
Which means that the Empire Era was him finding an opponent to play against 😆

I think the gravity of the battle isn't conveyed very well by the movie. The battle is way too light hearted to understand what it actually leads to. And also, it would be nice if it told a bit more about Palpatine's popularity in the general populace.
So the applause we see when he declares his empire isn't enough?
This was like the George Lucas version of 9/11, and what happened to The Republic afterwards......wait a second.....
😳
Oh hell no! Don’t jinx it!!!
@@jmWolfe2585 Oh please bish it's already here.
@@Joe-po9xn Oh yeah.
"Palpatine did 9/11"
Always fun to hear another labyrinth of evil shout out
CIS Battlespheres, maybe? Would love to know more about those!
I'm pretty sure the "Clone Wars" arc with the Citadel was about the Republic securing the information about the hyperspace lane. Ahsoka had 1 half; Tarkin had the other half. It ended with Yoda saying he would talk to the Chancellor about what to do with the two halves of the information.
I find the battle over Coruscant so interesting because it's the largest engagement of the clone wars by far. No other battle comes even close to the scale of Coruscant's battle.
Any other engagement we see in the clone wars probably averages out ca. 10 ships or something in an engagement, but Coruscant sticks out like a sore thumb with thousands of ships present.
It's almost as if the CIS and Republic used like, 50% of their forces to battle on every other planet in the galaxy, but reserved the other 50% for that ONE single engagement over Coruscant.
@@papapalps2415 That sure was a lot of information my good sir.
But I read trough it.
And what this is telling me, is that there was likely larger engagements than the one on Coruscant, we just don't have the evidence for it.
So, the possibility that there were larger engagements are for whatever reason very high, there just isn't any examples of it.
Albeit, I digress, sure, in the 2003 clone wars we got the Muunilist battle, which I believe stated to have had 200 acclamators involved? So I can see where you are coming from, but still.
Coruscant was the capital of the galaxy, and probably one of the most important worlds in the Galactic Republic.
Sure, the defense fleet was at a weakened state, but that doesn't mean that combined with the Open Circle Fleets and whatever secret fleets Palpatine had thrown in, wouldn't have made Coruscant one of, if not the biggest engagement of the clone wars.
Whatever the CIS are concerned, Grievous gathered every ship he could muster for the invasion. Which likely would have made the CIS fleet the largest in the war thus far.
Sure, the whole 50% at Coruscant, 50% elsewhere might have been an exaggeration from my side, but still, the Coruscant engagement (with the information we are given) seem to have been the absolute largest engagement in the clone wars.
There simply isn't any other examples that points to it not being so.
I'll be open for the possibility that there were larger engagements, but with no examples or information stating anything close to it, I am gonna stick with what we know for sure, rather than pure speculation based on probability.
@@papapalps2415 Alright, alright. I want to conclude this by saying that as far as we know, Coruscant was the largest engagement of the clone wars. There's no mention of it being so, but there is no mention of anything stating otherwise either. What's more is that from what we have seen so far, and from what we are aware of, there's no other battle in the clone wars that is quite as big as the one seen on Coruscant. Albeit, there is theoretical evidence that would suggest the existence of battles of larger scale.
I will however say that I personally would find it almost poetic, that the battle at the end of the clone wars, at the capital of the Republic, would have the largest battle of it all. After all, Coruscant's importance and significance can't be overshadowed. And what better place would there be for the biggest and most significant last stand for the CIS, right? It just feels like the right thing to have such an engagement being the biggest.
Also, I was certain Palpatine had some hidden fleets he brought into the battle with completely new, never before seen warships (Imperators and Tectors in my mind.) But maybe that fleet was part of the Open Circle fleets?
Also also. Wasn't the communications network of Coruscant completely borked due to how many ships entered trough hyperspace? Feels almost like that could be some way of saying that the battle over Coruscant wasn't just big, but it was unusually massive, you know.
Early... eck is the goat 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Facts he should have over a million
@@brucewayne3795 for sure
The flying civilian traffic during the Jedi purge calls B.S. on the martial law clamp down you mentioned. During martial law there is generally only military vehicles a cruising around.
Fleet battle between
Grand admiral Thrawn vs. Ender Wiggin
Each one has an equal sized fleet with equally capable subordinates, and since Ender is from a different universe each has equal understanding of the technology they’re using. They are in command of Star Wars vessels. Pick a famous fleet of your choosing I’d suggest death squadron.
Thrawn will get a hold of Ender's childhood drawings on the fridge door and figure him out
In the clone wars show they talk about the nexus route that run to go both the republic homeworlds and the CIS homeworlds.
This man needs 1mil by the end of 2021
Was there ever much focus on the ground battle aspect? Besides the 2003 clone wars?
Republic Commando: Order 66 and Labyrinth of Evil show fighting on the ground.
What was the video game being featured at the end of the video? It looks awesome
Two ideas I’d like to see made into a video: when did palpatine originally plan on executing order 66; and how come during a battle, when force users or “bosses” fought, most troopers would just ignore them to the point of just passing them mid battle instead of helping. (Example: during the old republic when Malgus and Satille Shan dueled on Alderaan)
The first answer he was planning Order 66 at roughly the time he does it in the film. The second one, most of the troops are tangled up with the enemy soldiers during those fights.
Part of the answer for the second one is that when Jedi and Sith fight, they use the Force to speed up their actions to the point where most soldiers sometimes wouldn't be able to see anything but strobing lights, and wouldn't try to help for fear of killing their ally rather than the enemy. Most visual Star Wars media doesn't portray that very well, and I think a lot of the older written material didn't realize that was a thing (likely because it wasn't), but it's canonical at least in Legends.
Where is the footage around 7:20 from? Is it a cutscene from one of the games?
There was also the secret hyperspace lane that even piel and tarkin knew of that lead to corusant
I haven't watched Ecks in a while :( it's not usually recommended on RUclips.
The more I hear about Star Wars Squadrons and the tournaments that are going on.. the sadder I get that I don't have a squad to play it with and thus have stopped playing. I was a pretty darn good Interceptor pilot (IMO)
4:55 How do you know that RotS takes place over only a few days?
I always thought it took place across a few months
@@Jacgren Yeah me too. I would understand if events took place during a few different days that were scattered over several months, but I'd have to watch it again to see if everything between rescuing Palpatine & Obi-Wan leaving Mustafar could've happened in just a few days. It seems like a lot but maybe it's possible. (I'd leave the epilogue out of this because that alone could've taken more than a few days & for this I'm only concerned with the bulk of the film). I've just never heard an official word on the timeframe of RotS so I'm really curious what the source of that info is.
@@2QAYL1138 The film treats the events as more or less happening over a few days. There is nothing to indicate a time skip.
@@emberfist8347 doesn't Padme progress through a few months of pregnancy during the film? At the beginning she seems to be at the beginning of her term, and then by the final duel she's basically ready to give birth
@@Jacgren She wasn't at the first term.
This goes to show how much of a madlad Palpatine is. There's so many ways for the battle to go wrong for him but they didn't
Yo can we please take a moment to shout out Vote Ramen for supporting Eckhart??? Man deserves sponsors out the ass
I've learned so much
You summed up the whole battle and the plan of Palp's with 4 words:-
"or so they thought".
So far my favorite attack on coruscant has to be the sacking of coruscant. Just because how well planned and executed it was. The republic didn't know what hit them
The clip at the end, where is it from?
Wasn't there also a clone wars arc with secret hyperspace routes leading to the heart of the Republic being known by Tarkin?
Eck, can you talk more about the time during kotor 2. When the mandalorians were broken and scattered
Vs matchup Yss-1000 saber( Halo Reach) vs T-65 X-wing(Star Wars). 2 rounds round 1 average pilot in each round 2 noble 6 in the saber vs Wedge Antilles in the X-wing
The X-Wing has chaff launcher and shields so X-Wing wins.
It makes you think, Did anyone know that palpatine was playing both sides far after he died?
Yes the essential guide to warfare confirms this
The Hyperspace Lanes and Palpatines connection with them also mentioned in Clone Wars 2003
What’s the footage of the ship crashing and all the site from?
I’ll bet that the secret hyperspace lane that palps gave to the CIS was the Nexus Route.
Can we get a Vite Ramen lore video
Anybody know what the gameplay in the background is at 7:20?
The Old Republic I think.
Where is the link to the teaser?
I really wish I never stumbled upon this video. I always saw the battle of Courasant as this badass battle and if the Republic lost it would be the end and if the CIS lost it would cancel all their major offensives in the future and the Republic won but now, whenever I watch episode 3 all I can think of is just nightmares.
I don't know how long it's been when you last did a what-if scenario with star wars fleets. If you consider it might I reccomend the battle of attalon from star wars rebels? How would you have handled it as either an alliance or imperial commander?
Everything up till 5:48 sounds a little close to home OMG 😆 😅
What about the sudden appearance of thousands of new ships and clones? (From the Clone Commandos series)
Vite Ramen’s creators are from my university! Ayo!
Maybe it's more like a Galactic version of Doolittle's raid... or St. Nazaire.
Except... orchestrated by Palpatine?
For the record, I'm not paying $35 for 6 pouches of ramen.
Dumb question. When Palpatine told Anakin to kill Dooku, why didn't Dooku say 'before you kill me just know that dude is a sith lord' as an eff you to Palpatine?
Possibly because he still believed in the plan, probably because he was in shock at the sudden and unexpected betrayal.
where is the video at 7:00 from???
Let's not forget it made anakin more popular, which was also part of palps plan
You're doing a tournament? Where can I watch it?
Can you do a video about the imc (titanfall) vs the unsc
