Not sure why. The Old Republic had a standing army. You'd be foolish to think a galaxy-spanning government wouldn't have a military this size to enforce it's will and protect it's citizens. I get not wanting to go to war, which is probably what Bail is upset about. But either your citizens get killed/oppressed by Separatist forces, or you let your expendable-by-design army die for them.
Never realized how ominous this ending was. (future) emperor Palpatine looking down on his future imperial army, probably smiling silently as his plans are coming to fruition with the creation of his army.
This truly was his plan set in motion, getting the chancellor position was just another obstacle but these clones being sent off to war is where his plan couldn't be stopped
Imagine what would have happened if Bail Organa had become Chancellor Valorum's succesor in Episode I. You can tell just from this little scene that he would never have let it come that far.
Konrad is right, go back to The Phantom Menace and you will see Panaka telling Amidala. Amidala: Who else has been nominated? Panaka: Bail Antillies of Alderaan and Alle Tiin (i think thats how its spelt) of Malaster.
Cru-Say some sources say it's a tradition in Alderaan that when people get married, the man changes their last name for the wife's. That would mean that Bail was not married at the time of episode 1 but would eventually get married prior episode 2. And if the new canon wants to go with this, then Kylo Ren's birth name wouldn't be Ben Solo it would be Ben Organa.
0:41 A scene no one talks about with the strongest symbolism. Look at Organa look down and hit his fist. He senses something bad will come from this. Underrated symbolism.
I think attack of the Clones is definitely the worst Star Wars movie and even I have to admit I never noticed that before. It is pretty good symbolism.
@@sam_2193 Yeah george lucas even at his worst was capable of putting really good ideas in his films. If he had not surrounded himself with yes men and brought in other people to help shape and challenge his ideas, I think the prequels would have turned out much better.
Attack of the clones has always been my favorite star wars movie ever since I was a kid. The 1st movie is too slow for most, and the 3rd was unusually action-packed for the series. The original series just gets neutered because of the time period it was created FX wise, and Disney's stuff is just hot garbage.
I mean those ships are trillions in numbers, the entire orbit must'been completely terrified just imagine, observing trillions of ships big as heck, suddenly approaching the orbit. I mean wouldn't anyone just die of a heart attack instead in that case? XD
The Imperial theme for the first time. A bloody sunset, the beginning of a long war - and the knowing of what's going to happen. This scene gave me chills in theater.
Bail organa is by far one of the best characters in Star Wars. You could see his anxiety and disapproval by his posture, especially the way he subtly hits the wall
Yes regret, I don't know about it going so far as disapproval at this point. I prefer the interpretation that he did support, believe in Palpatine though less and less until disapproval/disgust by III.
@@suarezguy Nah, Bail realized this is the worst possible outcome because millions are going to die and war is the best way you take freedom away in the name of "security." He very well knew this was the beginning of the end for the Republic.
To be honest my little 8 year old brain didn't understand what Prequels were. I only saw cool lightsaber Battles, Darth Maul, and the Clone/Droid army. And i didn't knew back then, that tjeEmperor (Episode 6) and the Chancellor (Episode1,2) were played by the same actor. I was intrigued by Darth Sidious; Who is this guy? Is he manipulating the chancellor? Yeah; " i was a slow learner" :D
Krieg guardsman 9788 go look up the 2003 Clone Wars Soundtrack. The track “Prologue” is this interspersed with I want to say the Anakin/Padme love theme? Which in and of itself is great (even if they didn’t have any chemistry, the music sure did)
The part that comes before it sounds a little like the Game of Thrones theme Edit: the reason the March sounds heroic is because this is the Republic, not the Empire, but still shows that their rapid militarization is leading them closer to it
I know the star wars prequels may not be great films( I personally like 2 and 3 and 1 is ok) but when you ever see clones on film your just like shit this is an army you do not want to fuck around with. and palpatine was like yea I've won this already. and this is why the clone army will always be better then the imperials. better armour, cool vechiles and weapons and the best reason they are just so fucking badass
Jared Proco I know for example when the clones are shooting in that cloud of dust ofter the federation ship was destroyed they probably destroyed some droids. While the stormtroopers on the death star couldn't even hit a thing at least the stormtroopers on endor actually killed a trooper and shot leia. But the empire seem to be better pilots and gunners then troopers
exactly. people think the theme is played because it's cool and they like the almost heroic/ victorious aspect of it but they never ask why it is played at that moment and why it sound like that. the debut of the empire and of the Imperial army, the debut of the Galactic civil war 1.0
I prefer the old EU Galactic Civil War, the one where the entire galaxy didn't automatically join the Rebellion just because "duh Empire eez ebil!" The Rebels had to convince people that a New Republic would be better than the Empire, and even then they didn't completely win the war.
@@entityinperil8101 It wasn't his fault, the Separatists were massing to attack the Republic as far as he knew plus too many on both sides lusted for war AND Palpatine was rigging events behind the scenes to insure that the war would break out.
They did have some good scenes in addition to this...My favorite was the speeder chase through Coruscant. It was nice to see the galactic city in such detail. That and the Kamino scenes. The Anakin/Padma scenes were...just....awful.
+Storm ᅚᅚ acclimators are some pretty bad ships for anything but transports xD the republic attack cruisers is twice as long and thats their main frigate. The Eclipse dreadnaughts shadow would cover manhatten completely
This scene outclasses the whole Disney trilogy hands down, without a dialogue, only with brilliant visuals, montage and score, and characters expressions.
MarkaN it was supposed to, seeing who the audience knew was the emperor over looking an army of men in white armour that look suspiciously similar to the emperor's soldiers, while the emperors music plays.
0:26 During this scene, Mas Amedda has this look like, "Whoa! This is so awesome! All these ships, these soldiers an-oh, right...this is supposed to be bad...terrible..."
The scene is beautiful and I've watched it many times. But only now I've noticed how Bail at the end of it bowed his head and slightly punched the railing in frustration and defeat because his efforts to prevent the militarization and war clearly failed.
The Phantom Menace indeed. He put on such a show, deceiving everyone into thinking that he was confident enough to win the war, yet restrained enough to make everyone believe he wanted peace and prosperity for the republic. Most villains would not have been able to contain themselves at the sight of a battle so decisively won. The prequels had flaws, but Palpatine’s machinations comprise one of my favorite parts of Star Wars. I think that’s why people prefer this to his plot in the sequels. By the end, you could see palpatine’s hands on every side of this conflict, where in the rise of skywalker you just saw useless clones of snoke and an unstoppable fleet rising from the depths.
The only way I could've seen Rise make some sense is by Palpatine helping the resistance. Kylo is already ruling the galxy. He was winning so had no need for that fleet. Palps should've helped the resistance, given them credits, a fleet, as a hidden donor. Then when the resistance is about to win, then go lure Kylo in and offer a desperate man a fleet. That would've been pure Palpatine, using both sides.
@@darthbane3937 that would have been fantastic and it would have taken a cohesive trilogy to see it out. If done well enough, it could work. The way it was done, there was no indication that the first order was in need of anything at all. Instead, it was only implied that they were struggling to take absolute control, hence why Kylo accepted the fleet. Overall, it was just not cohesive and bringing back Palpatine damaged the character instead of saving the movie.
I always thought there was something foreboding about this whole scene when I was young. This is the birth of the Empire no wonder the Imperial march was playing.
This scene is so cool with the little details in it. Palpatine putting on a stoic face but really looking forward to the continuation of his grand plan while Senator Bail Organa slouching with a defeated look at the end possibly heartbroken that war has come to tear the galaxy and the Republic apart yet again.
I love this scene so much, because this marks as the republic’s point of no return, and the birth of the empire. It’s at this point Palpatine controls everything, and the dominos just needed to keep falling.
Ramin Djawadi said this piece of music was the inspiration for the opening of Game of Thrones, and if you listen carefully at 0:05 you can totally here it
I can imagine this same area years later being filled stormtroopers, AT-ATs, AT-STs getting onto transports to be transferred over to Imperial-class star destroyers.
Something that I find interesting is that when the ships start to take off, it kinda sounds like Darth Vader's breathing if you really listen to it. Idk if that was intentional, but if it was, that's really great foreshadowing
One of the highlights of the whole saga. II was my least favourite of the series but I didn't think it was bad just wasn't as good as the others. Rots remains my personal favourite of the bunch; I'm curious to see how well 7 stacks up.
For me, this scene is like the definition of "power".. Power of the Chancellor over the Republic and the Galaxy (and, by extension, the Sith Lord's power over those) Power of the Republic itself. Power of fear. Power of armed conflict and war. And a powerful scene topped with a powerful march!
It's astonishing. The small handful of senators cooped up in that small balcony, forced to witness the beginning of a future that is being crafted by the single person standing in front of them. Just look at him! Palpatine is living his truth, and he has every last senator wrapped around his wrinkly little fingers.
@@나죽어엘리스누나 not all, most Clones were either phased out or retired from service due to the fast accelerated age, left behind those that still able to keep up to the standard to Vader's command which are mostly last batches of Clones who were born on Karmino
Palpatine on the outside: tired old politician concerned by what this war will do to his beloved democracy. Palpatine on the inside: hippity hoppity, the Republic is now my property!
I love the lighter version of the Imperial March here since this is still the republic. But when the Jedi were hunted down, and the Empire rose with Vader, the song turned more Dark and menacing
Jedi really were blind and clueless until the end. Wonder if there was no Republic Secret Agency or something, which done it's work after Count Dooku revealed the existing of a Sith Lord in the Republic.
This is one of those scenes I remember vividly from watching in the theater. Seeing the clones in formation... and then the music hit. People around me were so giddy. It was like an old friend had returned and you knew there was more to come on the horizon.
There really was a Order 66 in real life. There was a Roman Emperor that had a few brothers that shared his power in controlling the Romance Empire. He felt that he wanted all the power to himself, so he turned all of his brother's Generals and troops against them.
I bet palpatine was like yea I've already won this war
palpatine already won the war the moment it began. Hes controlling both sides lol
He's probably thinking to himself "You gotta be shittin me...this can't be THAT easy. Dam I'm good."
mbenzsl2000 All too easy

Loved this scene. "Begun the empire has. ". Love how Bail Organa lowers his head at the end there almost as if to say "What the hell have we done?"
The prequels are full of awesome details.
Palpatine was looking ahead to the vision of his empire, where Organa is sad over what could have been
It's very subtle but at 0:45 Bail Organa also bumps his fist down on the balcony as if to also show his disappointment.
Not sure why. The Old Republic had a standing army. You'd be foolish to think a galaxy-spanning government wouldn't have a military this size to enforce it's will and protect it's citizens.
I get not wanting to go to war, which is probably what Bail is upset about. But either your citizens get killed/oppressed by Separatist forces, or you let your expendable-by-design army die for them.
He knew somehow deep down that the war and the creation of a permanent standing army - were the death kneel of the republic.

Ramin Djawadi said this piece of music was the inspiration for the opening of Game of Thrones, and if you listen carefully at 0:05 you can totally here it
What the hell🤣
Awesome atmosphere, with the engines of the ships coming to life
I can imagine this same area years later being filled stormtroopers, AT-ATs, AT-STs getting onto transports to be transferred over to Imperial-class star destroyers.

FROM HERE ON
THE CLONE WARS HAVE BEGUN
This is when the empire really began
Love the foreshadowing with the Imperial March theme
Something that I find interesting is that when the ships start to take off, it kinda sounds like Darth Vader's breathing if you really listen to it. Idk if that was intentional, but if it was, that's really great foreshadowing
Magnificent, aren't they...
I love the thundering sound as the cruisers power up their engines in preparation for take off.
Just watch them turn on and then a sound after.
One of the highlights of the whole saga. II was my least favourite of the series but I didn't think it was bad just wasn't as good as the others. Rots remains my personal favourite of the bunch; I'm curious to see how well 7 stacks up.
2 was better than 1, but both aren't all that good. 3 was good, though. aside from some cringy scenes.
Solo Wing Borders oh get ready for a major disappointment...and it's not episode 7.
@@sugdolomar
It is episode 7.
And after 2 years came even bigger disapointment than episode 7
@@HonestHappyHater true.
Someone want to tell him how shit the sequel trilogy is
The day the Empire was born, though no one suspected it at the time.
*The scenery is genius. The sun is setting on the Republic. The Dusk of Democracy.*
For me, this scene is like the definition of "power"..
Power of the Chancellor over the Republic and the Galaxy (and, by extension, the Sith Lord's power over those)
Power of the Republic itself.
Power of fear.
Power of armed conflict and war.
And a powerful scene topped with a powerful march!
It's astonishing. The small handful of senators cooped up in that small balcony, forced to witness the beginning of a future that is being crafted by the single person standing in front of them. Just look at him! Palpatine is living his truth, and he has every last senator wrapped around his wrinkly little fingers.
The scary part is a detachment of those clones would become “Vader’s Fist” The 501st
The 501st was not under these clones.
@@trilobite2500 every pure clone became Vader's Fist actually
@@나죽어엘리스누나 not all, most Clones were either phased out or retired from service due to the fast accelerated age, left behind those that still able to keep up to the standard to Vader's command which are mostly last batches of Clones who were born on Karmino
@@baskapat5239 Every "pure" did.
@@baskapat5239 check out more lore and read comics
And thus, without us knowing at first, the Empire was born.
I don’t care what the haters say
The prequels were masterpieces in my eyes
The overall story was the masterpiece, not the individual movies.
As is what imbeciles say.
When I hear the imperial march I get the chills

Palpatine on the outside: tired old politician concerned by what this war will do to his beloved democracy.
Palpatine on the inside: hippity hoppity, the Republic is now my property!
I like how palpatine has the two most powerful armies in the galaxy fighting each other and he’s chilling in his imperial office
Thus the Seeds of what will become the empire have blossomed and now slowly start getting spread around to flourish all across the galaxy. chills.
When I first saw this scene in the movie theatre, I thought to myself "And so it begins, decades of war and death begins with this scene.....".
The beginning of an empire. This scene gives me goosebumps.
Is it me or does the part starting at 0:03 sound exactly like the Game of Thrones opening theme?
+yoshigura ---------- hahah someone else noticed it!!!!
Aww yeah!
+yoshigura just about to comment that haha...
+yoshigura is the got opening theme that sound exactly like this part
+yoshigura I hear that too
Question: Would you rather have $30 million or 30 million loyal friends?
Somebody: What the hell am I gonna do with 30 million loyal friends?
Me: 0:00
I love the detail of using a modified version of the Imperial March to symbolize that this was the moment the road to creating the empire was paved
God I just love the sounds the engines make
I love the lighter version of the Imperial March here since this is still the republic. But when the Jedi were hunted down, and the Empire rose with Vader, the song turned more Dark and menacing
One of my favorite scenes from the whole Star Wars franchise.
The fact that the Jedi didn’t question why a dead master secretly ordered them a clone army years ago, really boggles me.
Jedi really were blind and clueless until the end. Wonder if there was no Republic Secret Agency or something, which done it's work after Count Dooku revealed the existing of a Sith Lord in the Republic.
This is one of those scenes I remember vividly from watching in the theater. Seeing the clones in formation... and then the music hit. People around me were so giddy. It was like an old friend had returned and you knew there was more to come on the horizon.
"Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen."
There really was a Order 66 in real life.
There was a Roman Emperor that had a few brothers that shared his power in controlling the Romance Empire.
He felt that he wanted all the power to himself, so he turned all of his brother's Generals and troops against them.
