Ahsoka: “Remember when I told you about the giant wall, and you said don’t worry, Snips. We won’t be going anywhere near that.” As they’re being shot by repeating blasters on said giant wall.
One other thing to consider. "Intelligence" Remember Sidious was playing both sides of that campaign. I think it was Cody that said: " They KNEW exactly where to hit us"! So in all the Republic had troubles right out the gate.
It is possible that Sidious let loose intel for this campaign, but he spent years grooming Anakin to be his new apprentice when the time was right. Why send him in a mission that could guarantee his death. I know Anakin is hard to kill, but if the Chancellor wanted the Chosen One to be his, then this was a dumb move on his part. Even if you grant the whole “Sith betray one another.”
@@Ranger215able probably to make the battle seem unwinnable and then make it so that anakin was shown as the war hero, or it was just done because the writers wanted to make their own battle of geonosis
@@Ranger215able he made sure to send him in the hard but winnable battles not the outright suicide ones. Of course there were some close calls regardless plus I think he wasn’t able to decide ALL of Anakin’s assignments, the council tended to be allowed to decide who goes where at least for a while. Correct me if I’m wrong.
@@Ranger215able 'If he's worthy, he'll survive' Pretty sure this was the logic Palpatine had during this battle. This was probably to gauge how skilled of a commander and fighter Anakin was.
I remember when I first watched this arc as a kid, I was blown away by all the republic ships in the beginning of the first episode. It really showed the massive scale of a planetary invasion as opposed to the smaller battles we were more used to in the Clone Wars and Star Wars in general.
Fun fact: Mundi actually really liked Skywalker. In the Novelization of Revenge of the Sith, when Windu tells him he will not be given the rank of master, he would confront Windu afterwards. “That young man is every bit of a Master as anyone else with the Rank in the Jedi Order. You are making a large mistake by not cultivating it by bringing him into the fold, you are antagonizing him instead.”
Respects his abilities but primarily acknowledges the antagonisation - feel like he'd be one of the sooner ones to abandon the order if there was a mass exodus (if Qui-gon had left, he'd be among the earlier members to join him)
@PJOZeus I doubt that ever so slightly. He like Anakin, but he was a prime example of what the Jedi Order had became during the clone wars, political and strictly orthodox.

BREAKING NEWS: Commander Cody has been emitted to hospital after contracting severe back pain after carrying the second battle of Geonosis More at eight
The moment when a severely injured Obi Wan ignites his lightsaber is my favorite moment of the episode. He knew he was probably going to die, but he didn’t let that sway him from doing what was right
And then, right when they would have had to make a last stand, a trooper shouts "The reinforcements have arrived!", and the Y-wings swoop in amidst the joyous whoops of clones. Powerful stuff!
I think thats part of why he and Anikan were a few Jedi that Tarkin saw as true generals. They led and listened to their commanders but also took risks alongside their men, which Tarkin saw as honorable
That is definitely cool scene, but what I like about it most is how Cody and the other clones all surround Obi Wan to protect him. Prepared to fight to the death to protect their general.
Or maybe spread the enemy more out because you REALLY approached from 3 directions and not just 3 groups side by side out of one direction (just because you are besides one doesn't make you another direction lol). Oh and maybe attack simultaneously and not one after one would help, too.
There's a video about how the acclamator class assault ships had the weaponry and strategy to strait up glass the surface of a planet wherever they chose. I'm sure the republic wount want to go with this approach normally but I dont think they would have a super hostile race like the geonotians on the galactic Senate
They probably did, but you have to keep in mind this battle was planetwide, with probably millions fighting. Fighters and strike craft were probably spread thin
a lot of tactics in star wars make no sense, like how they often land in am extremely hot LZ or drop off vehicles from ships right into battle. makes no sense. its much better to use artillery, and air strikes to prestrike the enemy and suppress them, land in a secure safeish area and set up a command/rally point and then have your forces push up and flank the enemy and maintain a reserve/security element slightly behind. and make sure to use fire and movement. however most of star wars ends up being "run directly into the enemy and shoot until you win due to plot armor". kinda a shame
How about the Battle of Mon Calamari. That one was a hard-fought battle that the Republic barely won. I mean even with Clones and Mon Calamari they still lost the first round, then even with Gungan reinforcements they lost again, but then the Quarren turned on the Separatists and they finally had enough manpower to push the Separatists back. It was also one of the few times we actually saw a Civil War in the Clone Wars TV series with half the planet pro Republic and the other half pro Sepratist.
I also second the battle of mon calamari plus if any thing this battle was the most clutchiest and unique battle in the clone wars I mean battles underwater is not something anyone would expect in star wars
I love that arc because it really shows how good the CIS droid army can be because of them being droids they don't need oxygen unlike the clones which needed oxygen. Also love when they back to it in the Vader comics and the imperials get decimated by the inhabitants due to the same fact that stormtroopers needed oxygen
Separatist Military: "Our factories are safe and heavily protected. The Republic can't get to them" Two Jedi padawans: *immediately blow up the factory* Separatist Military: "Well...... That escalated quickly"
This is my second favorite battle in the clone wars. The assault was plain awesome, the command was split apart but Cody hold the point together, Anakin and Mundi getting there and that final moment were they were going to have a last stand then the bombers come in. Just perfection
@@brandonmiller9155 I know right?! Why are the only Orbital Bombings we saw are in Rebels T-T I never understood why George didnt take such scenes in Clone Wars, I mean even in the very old Thrawn Comics there are orbital bombings.. So it isnt new thing or out of lore
@@DarkIceLight I think its because in rebels Phoenix squadron only possses a single low quality sheild generator will the shields in the clone wars where insanely strong
Wait so their plan to avoid charging through an open plain was to attack from 3 directions where there wasn't an open field and then group up before being forced to funnel their forces across an open plain into fortified enemy positions? They also didn't send scouts or a forward force as recon to check enemy defenses? Maybe also an early wave to bombard enemy positions/clear the way for an assault force?
“The landing operations were absolutely a nightmare. It’s a surprise that entire battlegroup didn’t get blown up in orbit, considering the Anti-air capabilities of each Geonosian stronghold. In this case, their offense and infiltration plan afterward was flawless, funny enough, their attack was pure tactics and very little “positioning”. Geonosians are perfectly adapted to defend that planet and are more than prepared to do so. Worst target ever. I was there, now I never want to set foot on that planet ever again.” -CS/CT-8711-12 “Cheng”, former Captain and Scout of the 442nd Siege Battalion
Wait wasn’t the whole point of taking out the shield generator to make an orbital bombardment possible? Why did they try to directly take the factory then?
Capn Ace that’s what I’m SAYING. Oh no shield generators make it impossible to bombard the factory! Alright the shields are down, let’s send our padawans deep into an enemy fortress, while simultaneously sacrificing hundreds of clones and possibly Jedi so that we hopefully distract the enemy! Oh No! A sUpEr TaNk!
@Pasha Staravoitau Delta Squad. Give them air landing equipment, a stole CIS ship sending through the blockade and make a nice and pretty clean-up of the factory.
Exactly my thoughts, hated the planning that went into this assault. They sent in the main force before even getting an idea of what they were up against, or trying to soften up the defenses a bit. There were a few Y wings that ran bombing missions but not nearly enough to neutralize the AA, and nothing to counter the fighters. They needed two dedicated waves, fighters/ bombers, THEN the transports. Never have I heard about a landing without air cover, the gunships are just sitting ducks when fighters are present.
@@captainrex-cg4wr mh the paratroopers landing in the night bevor D-day was without air cover. But that plan didn't work out well, too. And what I disliked most was the talking about "approaching in three directions", HELL NO that's THREE groups in ONE direction. Just because you're flighing besides someone doesn't make it another direction.
He wasn't kidding about them preparing for a final stand, I'll never forget when the camera cuts to a wounded Obi-Wan Kenobi, as he stands himself up, takes a breath, and them ignites his lightsaber, with a look on his face that said, "alright you bugs... come and get me...".
I love how the clone is like "good thing they cant aim" And I'm thinking, yeah but standard Anti Air doctrine isnt about hitting your target because of how hard it is to hit a speeding target.

How did the Y wings get to point rain when the geonosians had set up the artillery and starfighter defense that caused the situation to be so dire in the first place?
The Y Wings probably destroyed the other anti aircraft points on the ground, and probably were more in use as Geonosian fighter defense (which probably wasn’t the plan). They use one squadron, find an opening and boom ground forces destroyed
Probably because Y-wings are much harder to shoot down than slow moving LAATs, and if a squadron was able to be spared it means the space battle was already turning.
Yularen said that he has no air support to give at the moment as all squadrons are deployed, lets assume that he deployed all those squadrons, both fighters and Y-wings to take out fighters and suppress the anti-air defenses after seeing gunships being shot down one by one. later on we see him say "i have 1 squadron available" so they must've destroyed/suppressed all fighters and anti-air defenses and created an opening
So has anyone else noticed the most of the Jedi General's had used similar tactics as an 8 year old playing with army men. Maybe it's because I went through enough combat leadership courses but the tactics they employed were trash
When you condider that getting better at comand for a jedi mean not charging frontally on open ground on a modern batlefield yes they where horrible commanders
I think you should examine and explain most if not all of the most crucial battles of the clone wars IMO. If all your videos are like this one best believe that ur channel will grow exponentially I believe because of just how in depth and interesting they are. I might be a little to late for the party as they say but I just had to mention it due to this video being so damn interesting and fun, keep it up broski. Peace ✌🏼
Is your map accurate? Anakin told Ahsoka the attack force would go "around" the fortress wall to Point Rain, not over it. As I recall, the wall was also pointed to be beside the Point, from the direction of the landing vector
What really bugged at this invasion, was the completley lack of any Seperatist ships in space. Giving Geonosis importance + that a leader of the Seperatist council eas there, you should think that they would send a pretty large fleet for defending the planet.... Was there any explanation for the lack of denfense in space?
Jedi and clones go to a republic diner Jedi: "Can i get an number 66 (space burger) Chef: "One order 66 coming right up" Clones: "Good soldiers follow orders"
Overall, I dare to say that this battle went as best as it could. The planet of Geonosis is basically a big droid factory, therefore it was necessary to disable key facilities asap, without any prep operations, such as extensive recon, securing the bridgehead, and managing air superiority. This, of course, lead to big casualties, but on the other hand, with more "careful" strategy, the Republic forces would have to fight a prolonged war. And because of the droid factories, the Geonosians were able to replenish their lines very easily, and outnumber the Republic forces. The Republic would then very likely lose the whole campaign, unless it scrambled reinforcements from other fronts of the galaxy, potentially sacrificing much more territory in the Outer Rim.
Cody probably is the most smartest and intelligent clone commander in the whole army,Rex and many more commanders,captains and ARCs maybe better as the fighters,but Cody just really good at commanding and strategy
The first episode of that arc is exactly what more of the episodes shoulda been like. We wanted to see that kind of large scale battle like that it was awesome, Anakin keepin his composure under fire and pushing forward, Obi-Wan takin’ hella punishment like always, that kind of a great sequence; not EVERY single episode has to be story driven. This is Star Wars. Star. WARs.
6:16 those barricades are a good example for why the ATAT has such long legs. The ATTEs could not pass without help from a jedi and the empire didnt have an army of force users unlike the republic.
4:45 can we just admire how fucking buff anakin was without the vader cybernetics. this man lift a whole gunship door with minimal effort.(granted he had a cybernetic arm but still buff as fuck)
I specifically liked the part where Ashoka was so sassy to Anakin saying, "Don't worry snips, we won't be anywhere near that." Rex just looking at those 2 probably thinking, *Here we go again...* And right at the end where Ashoka and Anakin force grabbed Rex into falling to his doom. Rex: "Next time, just tell me to jump..." Anakin: "Now where's the fun in that...?"

@@emperorkraglint9792 yeah i agree, tbh, if a reader doesnt know what smth is, they either look it up, or they dont care and it doesnt bother them, but if u write like the audience is dumb, one its just patronising and two the ones who know what youre writing about find it infuriating
One of the only times we see clone flamethrowers in action
4:00 I think they were wary of Republic Air Support because the Republic LITERALLY had their strategy meeting moments ago with Sidious in the room xD
Your battle breakdowns are so eye-opening...I now think differently about the clone wars as a whole...damn
How did the Y wings get to point rain when the geonosians had set up the artillery and starfighter defense that caused the situation to be so dire in the first place?
The Geonosian fighters moved up towards the acclamators, the Y-wings could descend once they found an opening.
PLOT
The Y Wings probably destroyed the other anti aircraft points on the ground, and probably were more in use as Geonosian fighter defense (which probably wasn’t the plan). They use one squadron, find an opening and boom ground forces destroyed
Probably because Y-wings are much harder to shoot down than slow moving LAATs, and if a squadron was able to be spared it means the space battle was already turning.
Yularen said that he has no air support to give at the moment as all squadrons are deployed, lets assume that he deployed all those squadrons, both fighters and Y-wings to take out fighters and suppress the anti-air defenses after seeing gunships being shot down one by one. later on we see him say "i have 1 squadron available" so they must've destroyed/suppressed all fighters and anti-air defenses and created an opening
the moment the y-wings arrived and that one clone yelled “the reinforcements have arrived” gave me chills.
I really wished they actually televised more republic defeats. It is kinda annoying that we never see the republic ever lose a big battle.
So has anyone else noticed the most of the Jedi General's had used similar tactics as an 8 year old playing with army men. Maybe it's because I went through enough combat leadership courses but the tactics they employed were trash
When you condider that getting better at comand for a jedi mean not charging frontally on open ground on a modern batlefield yes they where horrible commanders
Really like the military battle laid out style.
More military battles docs please
I think you should examine and explain most if not all of the most crucial battles of the clone wars IMO. If all your videos are like this one best believe that ur channel will grow exponentially I believe because of just how in depth and interesting they are. I might be a little to late for the party as they say but I just had to mention it due to this video being so damn interesting and fun, keep it up broski. Peace ✌🏼
The super tank is indestructable.
Acclaimator in orbit: Oh i dont think so
Well everything went wrong for me first I was shot down then I had serious wounds and I didn’t get to say HELLooooo there
Is your map accurate? Anakin told Ahsoka the attack force would go "around" the fortress wall to Point Rain, not over it. As I recall, the wall was also pointed to be beside the Point, from the direction of the landing vector
What really bugged at this invasion, was the completley lack of any Seperatist ships in space. Giving Geonosis importance + that a leader of the Seperatist council eas there, you should think that they would send a pretty large fleet for defending the planet....
Was there any explanation for the lack of denfense in space?
Now Cody knows how much of a hellhole Geonosis really is for his brothers.
*was, but yeah, it was awful
Jedi and clones go to a republic diner
Jedi: "Can i get an number 66 (space burger)
Chef: "One order 66 coming right up"
Clones: "Good soldiers follow orders"
I love the way you did this video! Can you do more like this?
It’s funny how I just got done watching the episode your going over on Star Wars The Clone Wars
I strangely just rewatched this... what a coincidence!
Overall, I dare to say that this battle went as best as it could. The planet of Geonosis is basically a big droid factory, therefore it was necessary to disable key facilities asap, without any prep operations, such as extensive recon, securing the bridgehead, and managing air superiority. This, of course, lead to big casualties, but on the other hand, with more "careful" strategy, the Republic forces would have to fight a prolonged war. And because of the droid factories, the Geonosians were able to replenish their lines very easily, and outnumber the Republic forces. The Republic would then very likely lose the whole campaign, unless it scrambled reinforcements from other fronts of the galaxy, potentially sacrificing much more territory in the Outer Rim.
Cody probably is the most smartest and intelligent clone commander in the whole army,Rex and many more commanders,captains and ARCs maybe better as the fighters,but Cody just really good at commanding and strategy
The first episode of that arc is exactly what more of the episodes shoulda been like. We wanted to see that kind of large scale battle like that it was awesome, Anakin keepin his composure under fire and pushing forward, Obi-Wan takin’ hella punishment like always, that kind of a great sequence; not EVERY single episode has to be story driven. This is Star Wars. Star. WARs.
6:16 those barricades are a good example for why the ATAT has such long legs. The ATTEs could not pass without help from a jedi and the empire didnt have an army of force users unlike the republic.
Thank you so much for this video! I was so confused with this battle!
4:45 can we just admire how fucking buff anakin was without the vader cybernetics. this man lift a whole gunship door with minimal effort.(granted he had a cybernetic arm but still buff as fuck)
Geetslys: " Ki adi mundi was able to salvage a few tanks and FLAMETHROWERS"
Us: " thats when the fun begins"
Dude this video was so high quality I'm loving your content!
Nice touch setting the geonosians at a left position in the map.
How did I miss this video? Good shit bro
Still by far my favorite episode.
"Hey, ya know how spectacularly the Jedi were as Generals in the 1st battle here? Let's do that again!"
Clone Troopers all update their wills...
Who needs the force to carry you when you’ve got Cody’s back that carried the invasion?
This gave me Nam flashbacks. Ia Drang Valley 1968. It's like a 1:1 copy of that battle. They even had a "Broken Arrow"
Clone: “Good thing those bugs can’t aim.”
Great vid Geetsly's!
Geonosis: *Exists*
Also Geonosis: *Is Under CIS Control*
Republic: *Also Exists*
Geonosis: Ehehehe, I'm In Danger
Love these type of vids keep them up
great video! hope u make more battle analysis vids
Mundi did lose his tanks however when he went through the cave.
Awesome animation for the battle
Your Battlefront I intro is legendary
Adi Mundi: bring the flamethrowers!!
Clones: but general!! That would be a war crime!!
Adi Mundi: exactly!!
Morgan freeman: those bugs could in fact aim.
...the generals show her plans to chanceler Palpatine before the battle even begins.
I would say the Battle of Umbara my most favorite battle. Wayyyy more gruesome then the second invasion of Genosis.
Commander cody in the thumbnail looks like that toddler putting a thumbs up in front of the camera.
"Good thing those bugs can't aim!"
I specifically liked the part where Ashoka was so sassy to Anakin saying, "Don't worry snips, we won't be anywhere near that."
Rex just looking at those 2 probably thinking, *Here we go again...*
And right at the end where Ashoka and Anakin force grabbed Rex into falling to his doom.
Rex: "Next time, just tell me to jump..."
Anakin: "Now where's the fun in that...?"
I watched these episodes yesterday
Either the Battle of Mon Calamari, the Battle of Umbara, or the Battle of Kamino.
If i had a fleet for the invasion of Geonosis, i would call it "The Geonosis Ground Breakers"
i like how he made the tumbnail so like cody is pretty cool like he did everthing XD
