  • The separatist holdout on Desix took a stand against the empire and was ultimately overwhelmed by Commander Cody and Crosshair. Was it futile for former CIS senator Tawni Ames to resist or did Desix actually stand a chance of holding out?

    It wasn't just Cody and crosshair. That was Cody's team. He had worked with them for years. Cody was with Obi Wan, one of the best Jedi generals. Cody's battalion and team was one ofthe best clone armies of the republic. Up there with the 501st. That entire fight scene was excellent, you could feel the competence from all the rank-and-file soldiers.
    Also the separatists were based around the least populated and industrialized worlds. Without Geonosis, the seperatists had a problem with manufacturing. Especially and most importantly ships. Separatists would not be able to hold out unless there was an organic commander with a fleet. Which honestly, would be some cool episodes. A separatist admiral still fighting who might lay the foundation for the rebellion.

    It's interesting to see how the clone troopers are being used post Clone Wars. Being used as commando units against any CIS holdouts makes a lot of sense. You can also see the beginnings of why the Empire eventually failed. They spread themselves too thin and had to exhaust the resources of multiple planets just to keep themselves going. Desix is probably a barren world by the time of the Galactic Civil War.

    I think the relationship between the seperatist holdouts and the rebel alliance is interesting. Many rebel groups, including THE Rebel Alliance were committed to restoring the Republic, which of course the seperatists had fought against. So, speratist holdouts could either choose to bend the knee to the Empire, side with their old enemies, or holdout alone and inevitability be conquered. Interesting.

      Well the Rebel Alliance was as the name implies (as well as Saw's speech in Andor) an Alliance of many anti Empire groups. It became comitted to restoring the republic because of Mon Mothma and other Neo Republican leaders that happen to be quite influencial. Similarly in real life where rebellions are often also made up with various different groups with different ideals while only one group get's tho rule. Look at the Spanish civil war, Syria, Russia, Iran, Italy, Portugal, Korea, Indonesia and Tunesia as examples. All the groups did fight allong side eachother, and all of them were made up of Anarchists, various different Marxists, democrats, republicans, pro Empire guys that are just done with the atrocities, and people that don't believe anything at all but just want their current oppressors to be gone. And all of them turned out as vastly different states.

      In Canon, it's shown that Palpatine isn't happy with Tarkin's strategy. He's more pissed that it backfired, but he does acknowledge that Tarkin did fail, and would be punished if he had survived the Death Star's destruction.
      In Legends, Palpatine was absolutely furious at Tarkin over Alderaan. Tarkin effectively chose to destroy it without Palpatine's permission, which is a big no-no, but Palps was worried that the destruction of a Core World like that would rally more systems to the Rebellion.

    In this particular case, the Droid Battalion had the ability to hold out on a tactical level. They had hundreds of droids, special units, and a basic competent commander. If this was a stormtrooper unit or the clones didn’t have a special forces guy attracted, the battalion would at least been able to bog down the attackers. Problem is beyond small unit Tactical level fighting, the battalion was screwed. They had zero naval assets to engage a proper invasion force with even basic warships. Send in a frigate to support the invasion and the defenders would be screwed. So sure short term they could had held out, but once the Empire sends a serious force, they would had been done for.

      I assume from the lack of obvious battle damage that Desix was likely away from the front lines of the clone wars- this may mean that they had to make do with whatever droids were leftover, rather than getting a fully realised and optimised army... similarly, if the battle droids had to be reactivated after the shutdown command from Mustafar, perhaps this was easier to do with the B1 and Commando droids than with other designs (and even if this was not the case, the reactivation process for each design might need techs to start from scratch for each new design)

    Throughout the entire episode, who else gets the Battle of Fort Slava vibe from it? And by that, I mean despite knowing the outcome already but still rooting for the Separatists to win.
    Also, if Desix possessed a number of proton cannons along with the planetary shield, they will not only be able to defend the city but also actually destroy those Star Destroyers like what happened when Obi-Wan attempted to land the invasion fleet at the Battle of Ryloth as well.

    If I lived in the Star Wars universe, I definitely will try to get my hands on some of those battle droids. Also, The commando droids along with others of the good ones
    I think it would be a great way to fight back against the empire as long as you have actual real living troops to back them up. It’ll save casualties on your own man before they get to you.

      Soldiers on the ground wouldn't actually be all that effective when you have space ships being able to bomb anywhere from orbit. The exceptions made with shield generators still would rarely make you want to use soldiers if you could use effective tanks instead. Star wars equipment is just poorly made for what tech is available.

    I was watching this episode with my son and we both agreed that the droids would have been much more effective against the storm troopers that came later, the ones that Han and Luke fought against, the ones who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with their blasters. That would have been a much better ground battle to watch because the droids would have forced the Empire to send a lot more troops and more heavy weapons.

    another example is Gizor Dellso's last stand, he found a old droid factory in Mustafar and began cranking out as many droids as possible until the empire found him. At first the clones were nostalgic because they were finally fighting something the knew but eventually turned sour as the were proving very difficult to deal with. Eventually they broke through and began the ground assault and there was so many droids but eventually they called up the star destroyers and orbital bombed the factory

It’s so sad in that all so many people wanted was freedom from what they saw as an oppressive, corrupt government and we rarely get to see that reality unless we read the books.

      doesn't even need to be an organic commander- a super tactical droid could have come to the conclusion that the only way to keep fighting was to engage in asymmetric warfare.

After that no new Clones entered the Imperial military and since then, they began to rapidly decline as many of the Clone Wars veterans retired and many more would die in the fields of battle, especially during the Galactic Civil War as by the time of a New Hope, the youngest Clones who were created in 19 BBY had turned 38 in physical age.
