The officer who shot the two B2s wasn't in clone armor because he was a medical officer, which are basically more highly trained and specialized clone medics that don't see frontline combat. They're still trained for combat, but they don't see it unless they're in dire situations.
@nicholasjones7542 Because that's what he was trained to be? He would've started his medical flash-training from the very beginning, so by the time things like accuracy come into play it would've been to late to transfer him to a different class since medical officers are so massively important.
I like the detail of non clone soldiers showing genuine fear. Like the medic combat is lacking so they show him in complete fear. Which reminds you not every clone was raised for combat.
16:10 I think the trooper’s missing head is actually an animation error. It’s likely that the Clone’s heads are made invisible while they’re wearing their helmets to avoid things like clipping, and someone probably just forgot to set the visibility toggle for this scene.
I think the blurry shadows on the clones heads is just a cheap move to avoid having to model dead clone troopers when the droids remove their helmets for backgrounds almost noone would look frame by frame. They just displaced the standard model head to where the helmet ends, blurr the decapitated body to pretend the head was under the helmet and call it a day.
Interesting, though later in the episode we see the dead clone troopers frozen and without helmets floating in the wreck. So it's not like there wasn't a model to be used.
@@AlexM-fv8lp it could also be that the way the order works is for the clones to take out the leading jedi in charge then go after the others in the chain of command
I recommend reading up on both real life and Star Wars armor as I think that would clear up a lot of your confusion. To summarize my understanding: Phase I was capable of tanking lighter blaster bolts but was uncomfortable and heavy. Phase II was lighter more modular and designed much like modern combat armor to protect against glancing blows from blasters but mostly to protect against shrapnel and concussive force. As for the shields it's important to remember that GAR tactics generally rely on speed and maneuverability so heavy unwieldy shields wouldn't be a great idea. They're used here because their forces are forced to advance through long confined hallways with no cover.
1:42 It could very well be the case that Ringo Vinda is a small dwarf planet. Planetary objects can greatly range in size, and there are quite a few that are less than 10% of Earth's diameter, that are dense enough to be gravitationally rounded.
There's a scene you left out that I thought was cool. When tup attack the red female jedi and was forced into the wall. Commander doom stood up and posed in Dr doom's stance where he stands up and puts his arms behind his back. That part looked badass, and how they added that to the episode made it just as amazing
Shields were mainly used for close quarter combat mainly. I can't remember what episode but they do talk about the fact the CIS preferred over welming numbers, which is why we didn't see many deadlier units like b2 super rocket troopers as b1 and b2 were super cheap, easy and quicker to make so that was the main unit of cis then it was commando druids then droidecars
One of the things I've seen you mention many times is droids having a "trigger finger reflex" when they die. The E-5 blaster that droids use is an automatic blaster, if the droids are pressing the trigger, and then are killed, there is no signal for them to let go of the trigger, thus their finger remains on the trigger until they fall in a way that loosens the grip. There isn't a reflex to feather the trigger or anything, their hands would just remain as they are, potentially squeezing the trigger, for several moments while collapsing. Also, for living organisms, this is a legitimate reflex. That's why in a lot of media you can see a standoff where someone has a hostage and a gun to their head. It isn't always a good idea to take out the bad guy, because if you shoot him or anything, the body will reflexively tense up, and it's very possible they will pull the trigger in the process. And of course for automatic weapons, the reflex can last a few moments causing multiple rounds to be fired before the grip loosens.
my understanding (might be wrong) is that the material clone armour is made of (plastoid) converts some of the energy of the blaster bolt to kinetic energy, often knocking out clones or causing injury, a moment that would back thisnup is captain keeli getting up a while after being shot. I very well may be wrong however so if anyone knows more about plastoid then pls leave a reply, Id love to learn more
As a kid when I watched the movies I wondered this. As I got to understand the movies a lil more I assumed maybe the order directly excluded Anakin in its design But then when the chips were introduced I honestly just suspected that this would’ve been the case
@@Tyrellsmith486 it is mentioned in lore that anakin was made by Darth plagueis and Darth sidious. Because plagueis could use the force to create life, shmee Skywalker gave birth to a child conceived by the force. This is why anakin has no father, and a midichlorian count of 20k, he's MADE of force
aww you cut out the best line in the entire episode "you were experiencing drag in the vacuum of space?" just how the Super Tactical droid for a second forgets how stupid his B1 subordinance are and just doesn't question it
“Why is the minigun behind the shields?” …so he won’t get shot? He can’t fire his weapon with 1 hand he can’t hold a shield the guys with shields are in front and he’s firing through the gaps as trained.
@@racer2k704 May I remind you of the sequel trilogy and Acolyte. Which are trash. As well as Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett which could have been so much better than what we got. The mouse has done more harm than good.
I think it’s possible that since Palpatine had intensions of making Anakin his apprentice he is not registered as a Jedi or they have been programmed not to attack Anakin. Remember in ROTS the Clones did not attack Anakin there.
The only reason I'd assume that clone armour isn't made out of the shield material is that it's too heavy and would be like medieval armour. Clones were made to be expendable so the kaminoans wouldn't even care to incorporate these types of materials in their armour.
The shields might be great defensively in a tight area, but the shield are probably very heavy and cause clones to either be slower or get fatigued quicker. I don’t seem them being useful in a stealth mission, and in a larger battle field there’s tanks and artillery that would make the shields useless.
The Clone Trooper carrying the minigun was probably been held back in reserves in case they came up against some heavy resistance it's a sound and tactical formation..
The only thing that kind of confused me is how come general tiplar didnt just move out of the way it kinda looked like a stare down between tup and her she at least had a couple of seconds to dodge
The idea Palpatine made an exclusion for Anakin in Order 66 makes sense when you remember Anakin led the 501st into the Jedi Temple during the 3rd prequel movie.
I think the blurriness coming from the clone armor and covering up that one clone’s face was the breathable atmosphere contained in clone armor being vented out into the void. Without the helmet to contain it the oxygen from their back is just being shot out into the room.
If you go back to Umbara, I believe Tup’s chip started to malfunction during the battle. I think he triggered the chip when he stunned Krell. He was the first clone that we have seen in the show connect a laser to a Jedi as I remember . There also is a scene that zooms directly into Tup when Rex makes the decision to arrest Krell. It was terrific foreshadowing. It doesn’t fully explain why his chip malfunction…but I am sure this was foreshadowing. Check out the final episode of Umbara again for that detail! It blew my mind!
So the clone without a head, what I believe had happened is that the primary model of clones wearing helmets, they don't actually have heads underneath because they don't want something to poke out. So what had likely happened is that they decided to put a clone trooper getting his helmet yanked off in the background but used only a "Main Helmet On" model and just forgot to put a head underneath. The blurring is likely to make it just seem like there's a head so that way the casual viewer, without pausing and zooming in, won't notice.
The most likely explanation for Tup’s inhibitor chip malfunction is that he had hit his head severely to where the chip activated the same thing happens to wrecker in the bad batch series
I have my head canon explanation for why the clones keep shooting from behind the formation. Decades before and during the clone wars, the droid army was the largest, most well-known, and the most experienced military force in the galaxy. Maybe because of that, the other armies (including the clones) were trying to imitate their tactics or fully adopting them. That's why we see clones performing these formations in many battles, especially on the Geonosis.
5:53 If I'm not mistaken, they explained this by saying that Jango Fett's DNA had to be stretched so that more clones could be made. And a "side effect" of stretching was that the quality decreased, including psychological problems such as nervous breakdowns or other illnesses. Tup was one of these "stretched" clones and, according to one theory, had PTSD from Umbara because they were attacked there by their Jedi.
Yknow iirc a lot of the time these clones get hit it's more of a concussion than a kill, the armor absorbs the impact while the body glove disperses the energy so it's like a heavy punch
The blurred clone head has a few potentials... The clone originally was meant to keep his head and simply suffocated then later decided to decapitate him in the next shot, however their model may of glitched out and left a shadow. Or they chose to mutilate or decapitate his head and deemed it too violent and censored it in post.
I always wondered why some droids only appear with certain commanders and figured that each commander has a budget for their forces. Maybe that's why Trench has those droids.
10:46 well no duh they are programmed to not go after anakin, there is literally a whole regiment walking into the temple behind anakin during revenge and no other clone attacked an anakin during order 66 either
I was thinking about the same thing. Why couldn't the clones use the shields or miniguns during the siege of mandolore. The fact remains that the republic had once faced them off screen and that was in Season 2 episode 12 mandalore plot. They would've known how skilled they were. I would assume it was because of plot armor, the homes. But sometimes for me it's more like fanservice where you got fans who loved clones and other fans who really deeply love mandalorians. And making sure things are fair for both sides. Idk that's what I've noticed when watching the clones struggling.
My guess would be because they knew fighting Mandos on their homeworld would include intense urban fighting and aerial infantry. Z-6s (miniguns) and shields are heavy and would make it difficult for troopers to use on top of jetpacks. Granted, not all troopers deployed on Mandalore used Jetpacks but the point stands, maneuverability was most likely preferred over fire superiority, which is also pretty difficult to beat a Mando at.
@alin4232 Yeah, a large number of the clones from the 332nd Division deployed with jetpacks, so most of them wouldn't be able to carry a heavy riot shield or a Z-6.
@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 And the ones without jetpacks fighting on the bridge with the AT-TE were the same ones that took off their jetpacks just so they can move lighter on foot.
The part at 3:42 where you said it was weird that the bulletin hit the clone isn’t actually that weird , if you look closely the bullet bounced on the wall before it hit the clone.
I know they had taken most of the ring by this point if I'm not mistaken, but it's still extremely stupid that the clone pilots didn't seal their helmets in a combat zone.
Having recently rewatched the Umbara arc, at one point Tup gets whacked quite hard on the head. Might have had something to do with the chip malfunctioning
Yo Michael you should definitely watch the Prison Break/battle from Andor as seen that it was a refreshment to the SW fandom and community and being an overall banger of a battle.
G'day, We just gonna ignore the shit load of bladted marks inside the confederate shuttle just around the door to the bridge? Like I'm not sure that many bolts were shot in that brief moment of cqc. Also the pilots dying in the ambush, you can see four blaster holes in the glass of the cockpits which signify early on the type of weaponry it has. I know it's just me but I swear we see a capital ship in the brief intro to the episode, I always thought it was a hyperdriveless dreadnought yet I think it was just a large assault ships hull.
About fives watching it and not doing anything A Jedi absolutely would be able to get out of the way And fives absolutely would have time to stun tup Even if they didn’t know if he would pull the trigger they would have had time to react Even me with my abysmal reaction time could have at least tried to move.
People would hate my comment/opinion but it makes sense for the inhibitor chips to exist cause no way would clones no matter how long they been fighting in a war (against sentient droids) be so unfazed with killing jedi padawans and younglings like in the movies unless being forced
Bro please cover the Geonosian zombies episode There are some quick but brutal deaths The lightsabers in that episode functions like actual lightsabers cutting bugs in half left and right
No they look like arc170s with the flaps down. The nose of the z95 headhunters are straighter, engines bigger, and the guns aren't mounted below the wing they shoot out directly from the wing tip.

I think it’s just because he was focusing on the tiny details?
@@firebasetvThat was a detail
The tactical droids are actually really good fighters when they aren't too full of themselves

Prehaps they wanted the head mutilated but can not show it.
It's most likely an animation error, it wouldn't be the first or last time they had an entity hidden during the render that made it out onto the show.
Notice how Tup looks at Anakin Twice and doesn't react.
Because palpatine was banking on Anakin turning to the dark side and becoming his apprentice before needing to activate order 66
He’s a misogynist!
@AlexM-fv8lp the man basically manipulated him since childhood. I think it was a sure bet he would turn. Like a loyal dog during a divorce.
@@AlexM-fv8lp it could also be that the way the order works is for the clones to take out the leading jedi in charge then go after the others in the chain of command
@@Zolet_lionheartActually it was because Palpatine made Anakin immune to order 66 like they weren't gonna attack him whatsoever
You can tell the animators really love their jobs in the sequence
And after the battle of ringo vinda, there was the battles of Paul, George and John in the Beatles system of planets
this made me laugh out loud
Paul Vinda, George Vinda, and John Vinda

and he becomes Darth Vader

16:36 I think the super jet robot took his helmet off, but the animators weren't sure what they wanted to do so they erased his head
I think we don't see the bullet hole on Tiplar is because Tup shot her in the EYE and her eyes are closed.
I think it’s possible that since Palpatine had intensions of making Anakin his apprentice he is not registered as a Jedi or they have been programmed not to attack Anakin.
Remember in ROTS the Clones did not attack Anakin there.
until after when the CG attacked Vader. Although that was an accident. Fox ended up losing his free trial of living.
The only reason I'd assume that clone armour isn't made out of the shield material is that it's too heavy and would be like medieval armour. Clones were made to be expendable so the kaminoans wouldn't even care to incorporate these types of materials in their armour.
4:14 i think the shield was to heavy for armour
Tup's chip possibly got activated when he bonked his head while saving Fives in a corridor.
The shields might be great defensively in a tight area, but the shield are probably very heavy and cause clones to either be slower or get fatigued quicker. I don’t seem them being useful in a stealth mission, and in a larger battle field there’s tanks and artillery that would make the shields useless.

Yo Michael you should definitely watch the Prison Break/battle from Andor as seen that it was a refreshment to the SW fandom and community and being an overall banger of a battle.
G'day,
We just gonna ignore the shit load of bladted marks inside the confederate shuttle just around the door to the bridge? Like I'm not sure that many bolts were shot in that brief moment of cqc.
Also the pilots dying in the ambush, you can see four blaster holes in the glass of the cockpits which signify early on the type of weaponry it has.
I know it's just me but I swear we see a capital ship in the brief intro to the episode, I always thought it was a hyperdriveless dreadnought yet I think it was just a large assault ships hull.
0:34 the battle front II campaign wasn’t during the clone wars. Or at least the one that I played
Hes talking about the og one from 2005
@ oh, that makes more sense
Yes, Anakin was excluded from order 66.
Fives joke was a pp joke
one thing JAWAS!!!!! ''UTINNI!!''
after fives nocked tup out of the way of a blaster it malfunctioned once it hit the wall and got worse is my theory.
10:05 Nope, smoking hole spotted on the side of her head.
About fives watching it and not doing anything
A Jedi absolutely would be able to get out of the way
And fives absolutely would have time to stun tup
Even if they didn’t know if he would pull the trigger they would have had time to react
Even me with my abysmal reaction time could have at least tried to move.
Palpatine did infact exclude anakin from order 66
I feel bad for the heavy machine gun clone got headshot
Some how Anakin was in order 66 to be saved.
People would hate my comment/opinion but it makes sense for the inhibitor chips to exist cause no way would clones no matter how long they been fighting in a war (against sentient droids) be so unfazed with killing jedi padawans and younglings like in the movies unless being forced
Bro please cover the Geonosian zombies episode
There are some quick but brutal deaths
The lightsabers in that episode functions like actual lightsabers cutting bugs in half left and right
For the next battle can we get the battle near the end of Mando season 3 where the dark sabre is broken
11:20 those are z90 head hunters not arc170s
No they look like arc170s with the flaps down. The nose of the z95 headhunters are straighter, engines bigger, and the guns aren't mounted below the wing they shoot out directly from the wing tip.
At 11:22 you can see the fighter nose angled down as well.
those are ARC-170's not Z-95 head hunters, thire profiles are vastly different
I mean
You put your shields (and lightsabers that also serve as shields) in the front, and the guns in the back
Yes he is headless
5:31 because they would get shot
