      Actually, some WERE removed. Most of Omega Squad deserted (2 stayed to be inside guys in the empire, Niner and Darman, after Niner was injured and Darmans Jedi wife was killed), Delta Squad stayed because they never had the chance to desert, several ARCs deserted (A-1, A-11, and I can’t remember general Zey’s Alpha ARC attendants’ name). And of course the Nulls gave the Empire the 1 finger salute. Commander Levet deserted, Corr (a new member of Omega Squad to replace Fi, who “died” and deserted), and several others I can’t think of off the top of my head. Not to mention the civilians who abandoned the Empire and married their clone sweethearts.

    The best hour for the Republic Commandos for me was when they retook an Acclamator-Class Assault Ship and used it to destroy a Lucrehulk that was more than four times its size. Despite fighting butt-loads of Trandoshan mercs and Confederate Battle Droids. When that Lucrehulk exploded mid-air, that was the proudest moment in the game for me.

    You mention that a squad of Clone Commandos would take out a squad of Nulls due to the differences in birth, genetics, and how they were raised but the Nulls were raised together and when they did operate together it was comparable to several squads of commados. The Clone Commando series comes to mind.

    Commandos = Seal Team Six/Green Berets/SAS. SAS Spence they go in small teams. Seals as the are tier one and there blaster is similar to Navy seal former gun the stoner 63 as it could change modes. And sense Green Berets have Team Members that specializes like how they have Medic, Engine, and weapon specialists.
    ARC Trooper = Marsoc Raiders as they have greet training but often go with regular troopers.
    ARF Trooper = Rangers because you can see them with other regular trooper yet you see them in large groups like the 2nd Ranger Battalion or the 75th RR.

Everything, even the massive multi-media projects (except maybe Shadows of the Empire) were never considered a serious addition to the saga.
      Even projects like The Force Unleashed, which George Lucas and LucasArts were heavily involved in, didn't make them as serious additions to any canon lore. They were just made to be new and interesting, and to tell a story that was different. Almost in George Lucas' exact words "The Force Unleashed takes the Force, and takes it way over-the-top", and that was the point. So gamers could just have fun being Jedi wrecking-balls.

    You’re mistaken about the ARC’s you refer to. There were only 6 Nulls and they fought for the Republic only when they weren’t doing the bidding of Kal Skirata, their legally adoptive father; it’s all in the Republic Commando books. There were far more ARC’s and Alpha ARC’s, which is who you’re referring to. The Null ARCs could eat the ARCs and Commandos for breakfast, as is made obvious in the books. The regular ARC’s, however, are much closer to the Commandos. In a straight up fight, it took 2 Omega squad Commandos to subdue A-11 Sull (ARC trooper) without killing him. In a 1-on-1 fight, the ARCs are deadlier, they’re essentially trained to be 1-man armies, but the Commandos are still nothing to scoff at. Far from it. Commandos are basically specific Special Forces, each squad almost a 4-man army, and the ARC’s are almost 1-man armies.

You said that they were hanging out almost only in the groups of four since birth, but then things get conplicated when one squad lost one guy, and the other lost two. How to merge them? One of the guys from the first squad goes to a diffrent squad that has 3 members? But which one?
    And that would cause endless shuffling whenever a clone commando dies, making it impossible for them to hang out only in these groups of four.

      If a squad lost a man on the mission they get a replacement. It's ether a clone who undergoes crosstraining like corr who replaced Fi in omega squad. Or if a clone commando lost all three brothers he gets transferred into a squad which lost a man or if their are three other commandos that are alone they get put together. For example omega squad.
      If they had the same training seargant it's not that big of a problem. But if they had diverent ones it can be very difficult for them.

    I'm going to have to disagree with you there.
    While the Null Class ARC troopers were unstable and a poor fit for a traditional military setting, the Alpha Class ARC troopers had increased stability without losing much of their battle prowess. Even Obi Wan said, in the 2003 series, that they were the best. They were even trained by fett himself.
    If you put an alpha against a commando in a 1 on 1 fight, my odds are 9/10 for the alpha. This has been my Ted talk

    To me, ARC Troopers (The Clone Wars microseries) > Republic Commandos
    As much as I love the latest The Clone Wars show, I hated how they pretty much nerfed the ARC Troopers to an extent. It was more of a rank that a soldier can get promoted to instead of the Legends/EU lore where ARC Troopers were engineered differently to be more like Jango Fett. Also, Jango Fett and a few Mandlorians trained the ARC Troopers themselves. What made the Legends/EU ARC Troopers badasses is how they had an aura and mystique about them such as being locked away in stasis, and activated for critical important times. There was a saying in one of the comics that you send in 100 clone troopers or 4 Republic Commandos to complete a mission, but you only need 1 ARC Trooper.
    Don't get me wrong, Fives and Echo were awesome ARC Troopers, but the others like Colt, Blitz, Havoc, etc? ZzzZzzZ
    Even Commando Gregor was more skilled than them, and now we have Clone Force 99 incoming.

      In a comparison the RCs are a solid tier two unit for white ops but they're nothing compared to Delta Force otherwise known as CAG by the DOD and SFOD-D by Jsoc once you take away the tech of the RCs. Why is that well first the average Delta operators been in infantry and another tier two SOF before gaining acceptance into Delta if not multiple tier two SOFs as many have.
      Therefore the average Delta recruit is already more skilled and expiernced then a fresh clone commando able to execute all types of missions where as a commandos skill set is limited. Then there's the fact that Delta is black ops meaning able to do missions the US can easily deny. They often don't ware standard US military gear so you won't recognize them and can be passed off as Afghan guerrillas, SDF fighters, or other indigenous forces. Republic Commandos as pointed out with armor that you can distinctly call out as clone commando armor. Therefore as a comparison Delta is objectively better then the Republic Commandos.
      However the republic commandos would make a solid tier two force used to raid and harass an enemy force to death. So their essentially hightech SEALs and MARSOC Raiders if you want a US comparison. But honestly closer to WW2 era commando units.
      In actual fight they've got a huge technology advantage. If it's a death battle they'd win if it's a war Delta force would lure the commandos into a situation to set up an ambush using their recon specialists to get a good idea of the environment before engaging the enemy. Then most likely desquised as natives of said world take out said commando squad then disappear allowing the US government to deny any and all involvement.

  • @jebusglatze1285
    @jebusglatze1285 Год назад +1

    Anyone who thinks ARCs are better than commandos please consider the fact that there are only three differences. The first is that Commandos are like regular clones (more obedient etc.) Alpha ARCs are unaltered Jango except for the faster aging. Alpha Arcs were known to be lone wolfs and they really rarely worked with other ARCs or Troopers. There was one ARC named spar who even deserted before the war even started. And this is basiaclly what the kaminoans have forseen. They did not trust those troopers. Jango trained these men himself.
    Second, there were 10.000 commandos and 100 Trainers of which 75 were mandalorians and 25 were normal mercanaries which Jango picked himself. That means every trainer trained 100 commandos like Jango trained his 100 Alpha ARCs.
    That basically means the main difference at this point is the trainer. As we know Valon Vau is the trainer who lost the least commandos and its this man who trained delta squad which was known as the republics best squad. That also means Jango lost more of his ARCs than Valon lost of his men. Valon was known as to most brutal and ruthless trainer in the GAR. He let his men fight each other until one of the clones couldnt fight back anymore and if they did not want to they had to fight him in his full armor. Sometimes some of those clones were in life threatening conditions. As brutal as he was as effective were the men he trained.
    Summed up, it depends on the particular commando squad we talk about. The squads trained by non mandos were known to be of lesser quality than those of mandos. Was Jango the best trainer? For his independent ARCs, most likely. For normal Squads? Most likely not.
    So who is better? You cant really say it because they were used quite differently because of the Arcs loner nature. I personally think a commando squad could handle every task an ARC was given but I dont believe an ARC could pull of some of the missons commandos were assigned with.
    The Third difference is gear. I dont think we have to talk about this point that much. A commando had way better armor than an ARC and they were free to choose every weapon they want. ARCs had also a large pool of weapons they could choose from but dont have katarn armor.
    From what i think they are not that different in their capabilities but i also believe many commandos could win against ARCs and some could not as it strongly depends on which squad we are talking about.

    Open field combat is of course their major disadvantage, but with spec ops and skirmish fights as their forte makes them pretty lethal. Loved playing the Republic Commando game on my Original Xbox and still do to this day. The books were pretty good and got me interested further into Mandalorian culture and history. Although I had my disagreements with somethings Karen Traviss did with the Null Clones, who seemed far too expert at everything they learned. I know it’s their genetic code or whatever the Kaminoans did to them, but still it felt kinda Mary Sue-ish? Not enough to stop me from continue reading of course, but enough to criticize the concept she had for them. However, I enjoyed every time Omega Squad were on the pages or any other Mando for that matter. Especially Fi, my top favorite character in the RC books. Shereshoy ner’vod!!!
