@AdrianOtw Legality. The legality of who is competent to declare war varies between nations and forms of government. In many nations, that power is given to the head of state or sovereign.

Because he claims to surrender, but in reality it was an ambush and so in the Geneva Convention he “ Murdered “ a general. But I’m pretty sure only those rules affect the ones who lost. Like ww2 only the losers were punished but you really think those countries were the only ones to commit war crimes
Anakin and Ahsoka: casually using the Star Wars equivalent of the Geneva Convention as a check list Obi wan and Rex who were dragged along: “well here we go again”
You are allowed to take precedent into account. Since Anakin is known to pull this kind of trick often the droid is right to order his forces to shoot Anakin since he recognized a trap.
The droid correctly deduced that it was a trap, if the lawyers can prove to a jury that the droid had reasonable evidence to suggest a false surrender, then they can prove that anakin was ambushing them under the pretence of surrender. Even then, just because the droid ordered to fire, the intent from anakin was still a war crime, he attempted to carry it out, I assume there are charges for attempted war crimes but I’m not actually sure.
Yeah but it is still a war crime because he was in on the plan of asoka and anakin blowing up the shield so they could attack the droid with there cannons because in war if a enemy surrenders they are not allowed to be fired apon or in turn fire along there enemy
@@calebrickard3294 why is it against the geneva convention it sounds like a good battle tactic to me Edit: i get it know ive been told 50 times thanks for informing me pls stop responding
Well if there is a war time treaty that lists a surrender as a valid thing and would force them to become pow’s then the droids would follow said treaty. Since they are droids the rebels might be able to take advantage of them and break certain parts of the treaty in order to gain an advantage.
This is because B1 battle droids offload unnecessary data in the form of speech, so they can free their processors to do important things. I’m doing so, other B1s hear that information and while they don’t understand the full situation, collectively as a hive mind they become more tactically aware like with ant pheromones. However, when Anakin says “hold your fire”, a battle droid used to the absent chatter of its compatriots is more likely to obey - mostly because they understand that listening leads to smarter decisions. Unfortunately this does lead to a gap in their offense, but overall it’s an interesting development in droids.
People always use the phrase “war crime” in Star Wars like they have the same history and rules we do it’s annoying af. It’s a while different galaxy far far away in the past do people really think they’re following the Geneva convention 🙄
@@ianmartinez362 It’s called perfidy and it has very good foundation. If you surrender enemies won’t shoot you, because they trust in your true intentions. But if you commit perfidy, despite enemy agreeing to your terms, next time they won’t want to talk and shoot you on the spot.
I think that there’s a chance that he technically didn’t, because he only attacked after the droid told the army to open fire on him, which could be considered as an act of self defense. I know he intended to commit a war crime, but because of this he may actually not be guilty legally
@@donattomichael yeah. One of the main ideas of that rule is because if my enemies surrender then attack me then I can't trust them to surrender anymore. So whenever any Republic forces are forced to surrender the droids are justified in executing them on the spot. Any surrender could be fake so why accept prisoners?
I like how everyone is either “ it wasn’t a war crime because the droid was gonna fire on him” or “not the first war crime” Anakin had literally committed this exact war crime before

Actual the droid committed the crime. Before Anakin did anything but verbally surrender, the droid ordered fire on officially surrendered troops on a hunch.
Ya that's very likely the case. From our perspective, we know he lured the commander out but to everyone else, ot looks like he just defended himself lol
@@towatchvideos5592 While I agree with this in theory, the Geneva Convention is just a series of rules of engagement put into place so that war wouldn't devolve into untrustworthy lawlessness. If you have a bunch of people constantly falsely surrendering, eventually people will no longer trust surrenders. And, that just makes it impossible for war to ever end. Dishonorable acts do not engender peace. The Geneva Convention just puts that universal concept into writing. The point I'm making is that any setting which has war would surely have some sort of rules of engagement. Otherwise, war could never end. Which... to be fair... it never really does in Star Wars. Still, as a civilized society, I assume the galaxy has SOME sort of rules regarding this.
No, there are very much war crimes that the world has agreed upon. People who say that are people who have never experienced the horrors of war but wanna seem like they realize the brutal truth of this world or something

I’m dumb as hell, I couldn’t think why this wasn’t a legitimate strategy but then I realized it would make legit surrender seem suspicious and cause unnecessary death.
Yes, false surrenders means than any time your forces legitimately surrender in the future they will be either gunned down or tortured as prisoners, rather than given a fair surrender. It may grant one win, but it may also cause the unnecessary death of many of your own troops elsewhere
I understand why it's considered a war crime to do this, but I too did not see the problem until I read the comments. Though, for me I still see little reason to not do it if it works. There are no rules of war. There are only the victors and the defeated. Power dictates. I understand later legitimate surrender will be problematic, but the goal is to win. Why worry about losing except in the case of it being the plan or a step to fight another day (a chance to win later). Furthermore, in this case they are only droids, non-life. Just destroy them all, so that this new tactic is not discovered by the rest of your opponents. I can understand that you may lose men on your side that might've been freed back into the war effort. That's the only real concern, loss of manpower, but if it can be avoided and still have this tactic, then that's great. To clarify, I would not consider it to 'work' if you lose too many men. Keep in mind that soldiers fight willingly (usually). Unless they didn't sign up for it, their lives are offered and may be demanded. It's called sacrifice, and they should know it if they are on the battlefield. Granted, I probably would not use this tactic except as a possible last resort in the case of a human enemy. I'm just pointing out that there has never been and never will be any secured rules or fairness in war no matter how many tears are shed, how many suits talk, or how many honorables participate.
@@calebwalters1869 "there are no rules of war" you already started wrong, there are rules, and all of them benefits both sides, if you disrespect your enemy and commit a war crime, I can guarantee you that your enemies will repay that with another war crime, and the responsibility of giving such orders and seeing many of yours soldiers paying for it, can destroy not only the sanity of any commander or general, but also the moral of a entire army

*when the council confronts him* Windu who went out the window: “general Skywalker, what was the reason for your heinous act?” Anakin: “we do a little trolling”
I mean, it was a fake surrender, but, attacking someone who is surrendering is also a war crime. He could go by "I was defending myself and my troops. I did surrender, and my enemy attacked me"
Tanya studied the world's laws of war and weaved her way around them, no laws broken which lead to a redraft of them. Anakin didn't study that noise and broke them anyways
This is a call back to the first season when Kenobi did almost the exact same thing. Now it's Anakin as a strategic master by this point in time. Good writing
Calling this good writing is collectively being against Star Wars fans. All of this Disney shit is bad, and it ruined the franchise for the old fans. Sometimes I think about rewatching the old episodes but it’s heartbreaking, because I will never truly finish it the way I hoped
and they are old as well, so it can get a bit boring. But that’s the nature of old movies, but if Disney just developed on it instead of wiping out the floor.. that would be so much better for the franchise as a whole
@@generalhypocrisy1876 it's okay to find specks of good writing in things that are overall bad. It's a lot more productive to point out the good and the bad so everyone can learn from it rather than just outright dismissing anything you don't like because "muh disney." Believe me, I'm one of the last people you'll ever see defending Disney star wars, but you need to be logically consistent to ever change minds.
they declined the surrender and gave the command to 'open fire', at that point it would no longer be a false surrender, as the surrender was declined before the clones began their attack

@@svs.productions “Sir?” “Yes Cody, false surrender is a war crime.” *sigh*
Surrender? That’s a relief!
Alt title: anakin commits *ANOTHER* warcrime
"My way"
The war crime way is my kinda way
Highway
"This is the way"
Our way*
The Kenobi way
The fact he said "I know better than to try and stop you"
I love how he brings his droid R2 into a battle with him
“We can do things my way.”
*proceeds to commit a fucking war crime*
This I like the most mild of the war crimes in this show
Or the fact that there was no Geneva Convention in star wars
The studio : “Let’s make a children’s series out of star wars”
The writers : *makes the good gys commit several war crimes*
I mean this is pretty tame in comparison to what the bad guys get up to.
Anakin: make a war crimes*
Serbians: "Could he be one of our people?"
This whole series is worth a watch
*Commits war crime*
-heroic music continues…
When Tanya does it, she's a grey protagonist with villainous tendencies. When Anakin Skywalker does it, he is... Oh, wait...
Tanya studied the world's laws of war and weaved her way around them, no laws broken which lead to a redraft of them.
Anakin didn't study that noise and broke them anyways
He's going a war crime speed run.
Baby steps Anakin, we'll get to the big war crimes later
Clone wars anakin was the best anakin, revenge of the sith anakin was lit but the dialogue they gave him was corny
Yeah I agree, just be ready for bombardment of people who doesn't, you know how it is
“You underestimate my power” 😂
You clearly misunderstand the sand debate then
How?

This is a call back to the first season when Kenobi did almost the exact same thing. Now it's Anakin as a strategic master by this point in time. Good writing
Anakin did this in another episode as well when the star-cruiser they were on was about to blow up
Calling this good writing is collectively being against Star Wars fans. All of this Disney shit is bad, and it ruined the franchise for the old fans. Sometimes I think about rewatching the old episodes but it’s heartbreaking, because I will never truly finish it the way I hoped
and they are old as well, so it can get a bit boring. But that’s the nature of old movies, but if Disney just developed on it instead of wiping out the floor.. that would be so much better for the franchise as a whole
@@generalhypocrisy1876 it's okay to find specks of good writing in things that are overall bad. It's a lot more productive to point out the good and the bad so everyone can learn from it rather than just outright dismissing anything you don't like because "muh disney."
Believe me, I'm one of the last people you'll ever see defending Disney star wars, but you need to be logically consistent to ever change minds.
@@threemar3 oh alright, I thought they were fanboying Disney so yeah
It’s just one of those days for Ani
"WON'T SOMEBODY THINK ABOUT THE DROIDS???"
No.
This is one of the most iconic scenes from the series. God I love it!
Which episode is this one?
*"Geneva Convention? More like Geneva Suggestions"*
Committing war crimes is kind of his whole character.
they declined the surrender and gave the command to 'open fire', at that point it would no longer be a false surrender, as the surrender was declined before the clones began their attack
Anakin: I play my spell card! War crime
Tactical droid: I counter with War crimes as well
Anakin: I play the trap, yoink!
Tactical Droid: Dumb game any- *get’s sliced in half.
I relate to this on a League of Legends level that is clearly not coincidental. Are you my dudebro?
