Fun Fact: This comic arc came from the same comic series that had its first story arc adapted into The Clone Wars show (The Zygerria arc). Which kind of makes we wish they did the same for this story too. For those of you who have finished the video, would you rather had them adapt to The Clone Wars tv show the comic story told in the video or the Zygerria arc from the same comic?
He looks like a mix of both world war 1 and world war 2 german fighter pilots, and his ship is red like the red baron and he himself looks like the red baron, while his ship resembles the luftwaffe concept ramjet fighter the Lippisch p.13a. not to mention he was respected on both sides so this man is literally a space german.
Indeed. I'm surprised that none of them even touch their lightsabers. The last thing they need is to get one planet fighting both sides, which is a complete losing battle.
Ren Cen If anyone has the prefix "Red" in their callsign, you should flee. Because it doesn't matter if it's the Red Baron or the Red Comet, you're life depends on making it out alive.
no he was not it’s not confirmed but it was probably flak by Canadian soldier captain Arthur Roy Brown or another fighter pilot of the British Air Force
@@tarnyowl6068 true but I doubt that he would have put up with Palpatine's bullshit either way. No matter how the empire threatened him or what they offered him.
Antwan Dorm Knowing Disney, they would make him betray the Separatists in the end and then fight for the Rebellion. Pretty predictable because almost everyone who’s skillful must be on the Rebellion’s side.
Interesting how the character was clearly inspired by the red baron while the royal family wears uniforms very close to those of the austro-hungarian empire. Even the rank insignia is in the right place
@@subliminalmindfuck454 But...i never said anything else? It's just very obvious that the faction is inspired by the central powers. Not just one faction within it. Much like how the Empire has elements of the axis in their design. Not just the Germans.
Whoa, this is really a nice niche to seeing Anakin's built up Anger against Dooku which led him to killing him aside from his personal grudges against him.
I’m mixed about “ o dooku being behind it” feels kinda cliched and would of wanted a morally grey kind of meaning as it being caused by a chaotic mistake than a conspiracial scheme
Hello There Grand Master Lore Master That was absolutely staggering. Another great story about such an inspiring man who understood the corruption of the Republic and who even stood up for neutral planets and systems being blockaded by the Republic. I never knew this story or anything about Tofen Vane until you gave us this awesome video about his story, his motives and his willingness to stand up for those who didn't want anything to do with the Clone War. I think its even safe to say that Tofen and Anakin were equals when it came to piloting and dogfighting. I'd love to hear more stories about honourable commanders who understood the corruption of the Republic. They're just so inspiring and they give us such a vast insight into how there is never a truly good or bad side. I'm proud to regard this amazing story as canon for myself in my personal head-canon. Thank you ever so much for telling me something new about Star Wars that I never knew about until now and I'll see you in another video. May the Force be with you Grand Master Lore Master and take care.
You know technically there are at time good guys and bad guys (such as in world war 2) but it all depends on perspective, honestly it seems more like the people fighting in the armies are the ones who are either the good guys or bad guys
Huh, that must have been a great guy. Great video too, of course! He also reminds me of that Separatist Mon Calamari general who was killed by Dooku or Sidious because he let the CIS look very honourable and good.
Jakub Bończak the serperatists saw the encroachment of the republic into the separate world governments. And the republic were literally the bad guys in the end, they were corrupted totally. The Jedi just agreed with them based on principles alone. Think like what’s happening in Europe with the EU. People like to govern themselves and follow their own path, not just be a part of a blob.
Jakub Bończak that’s the thing. The separatists were tools. They were the hammer to forge the republic into the empire. The seperatists already saw the republic as empirical. And they were against it because of greed or their own principals. Gotta remember the seperatists were a federation of many different ideologies. They’re kinda portrayed as all being the same and whatnot but they weren’t. Kinda like the south in the civil war or the allies in ww2
So he's the Red Baron? Edit: for those who don't know, the Red Baron was a German pilot during WW1. He was famous for his killcount and the fact that his plane had a distinct red paint job.
This was such a good comic arc and also gave a good legitimate reason for why Anakin was considered the greatest pilot in the galaxy. How do become the best by beating the other best
I wish Star Wars Canon would flesh out more organic Separatist Fighters so that it just wouldn't seem like an army of metal was all that was fighting the Clone Abominations 😤
This is why Manfred Von Richthofen is one of my favorite historical figures of all time. He became a legend in the real world through his deeds and lives on in other figures from various tales.
His uniform looks like a German Imperial Air Korps uniform. He even has what looks like the Pour le Mérite! Also the King or emperor of Valahary looks like Blessed Karl Von Habsburg, last Kaiser of Austria-Hungary even his uniform has a similar style of that of K.u.K military.
It's funny, you'd think the Republic fleet would have more Ion cannons since they're fighting droids, but that would prevent this kind of misunderstanding and Palpatine was probably counting on collateral damage. Also probably didn't want to completely tip his hand that whoever was buying the Republic fleet KNEW they'd be facing heavily droid-and-computer reliant ships.
I really dig the full on professional art of him and his ship. It looks like something from a old retro scifi book. Id love a setting with that kind of style.
Looks like the Red Baron Flies a Red starfighter. Starfighter emblem is black and white and resembles a cross Name is Tofen (Richthofen) Leads a squadron of veteran pilots. So... The Red Baron and the Flying Circus?
Honestly: This story would be *so much better* without the whole "Ventress was behind it" sub-plot. Let Clones screw up from time to time. Not all separatists have to be separatists because they were "tricked to it". Not every hero of the war has to have his life intertwined with Anakin and Obi-Wan. It's just lazy writing.
Hey! Clones are inocent! They were made and were forced to fight for the corupt Republic without knowing shit about who they were fighting for or who they were fighting against. You should have refrased that in "Let the Republic screw up once".
And he’s flying *HIGHER* The King of the Skies He’s flying too fast and he’s flying too high *HIGHER* An eye for an eye The legend will never die! - The Red Baron, Sabaton
I think he is based of obviously the Red Baron but also the Luffewaffen’s best pilot Erich Hartmann another skilled pilot with a specially fitted fighter. And just like the baron had a war record of the highest amount in there respective wars. But that doesn’t matter as it is only a part of there capability of flying. The only difference is that One died in combat and the other lived afterward, Hartmann would eventually train the first generation of modern German Air Force Pilots (for the West of course).
That's a Nice move by George Lucas, paying respect to the ace of the aces in his own creation, making clear that this guy is the red baron From the space, even with a similar ship, uniform and history... Just beautiful

Can you do the Gray Paladins from coruscant nights? They're a Jedi faction that used blasters and other weapons one was so good that she was able to send one of her own bolts straight up an enemy's blaster barrel. They also believed in using the force as little as possible so they focused on other skills like martial arts and military tactics like guerrilla warfare, urban tactics, espionage, and infiltration.
i mean.... 0:07 he looks like a mix between Richthofen (Red Baron) and a Luftwaffe Pilot, which was intentional from the artist i know. But at 5:36....the guy in the lower right....doing the....uhum, salute. i mean thats a bit far.
I read the comic. Very good. Tofen could be compared to Erwin Rommel who was basically a good man, professional soldier, military genius who served a brutal regime. Tofen's planet was not a brutal and evil regime but it was allied with the CIS headed by a brutal Sith Lord like Dukku. We talk about when bad things happen to good people. This seems to be a situation of when good people are forced to do bad things.
If this dude would have live long enough, to live during the Galactic Civil War, he'll had join the Rebellion, and be Vader's rival when it came to starfighter combat.
I remember this guy...Its really sad they didnt have him in the Zygerria arc. I was legit hoping he'd show up. I wanted him to sound like Manfrid Von Richtofen. For...obvious reasons. Odd they took a WWI pilot instead of someone from WWII, considering most everything else from Star Wars is WWII inspired, more or less. I guess fewer people know who Eric Hartmann is...
I like seeing stories about humans who fought for the separatists. I also like stories where the Republic is doing possibly unethical actions, foreshadowing it's transformation into the Empire.
“Tofen” like Manfred Richthofen, bright red, oddly-shaped snub fighter, and the guy in the art even looks like the real guy. This isn’t the most subtle of parallels, but it’s still neat.
There have been four Red Baron archetypes throughout Star Wars. For the Separatists, it was Tofen. For the Rebellion and New Republic, it was Wedge. For the Empire, it was Baron Soontir Fel. For the Empire of the Hand and eventually the Fel Empire, it was Jagged Fel himself.
So can't there ever be genially honorable CIS/Imperial, without needing to have been tricked or blackmailled into serving the CIS/Empire, or not eventually defecting to the "good side".

Who would win? A super skilled and highly trained pilot that can defeat many space monks, or one big flappy boi?
Depends.....what writer and plot say or lazy story people accept and think is "cool". Establish best pilot 1976, "new best pilot rival 20xx"....
I was surprised the CIS even had human pilots! This channel is amazing, keep uploading the best stories!
I read the comic. Very good. Tofen could be compared to Erwin Rommel who was basically a good man, professional soldier, military genius who served a brutal regime. Tofen's planet was not a brutal and evil regime but it was allied with the CIS headed by a brutal Sith Lord like Dukku. We talk about when bad things happen to good people. This seems to be a situation of when good people are forced to do bad things.
Thank you The Lore Master for these awesome and great video ever 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🤑
The more I find out about the clone wars the separatists were in the right..they just wanted to be
Both he and his ship look like some kind of speed racer villain space ship.
I'm love'n it👍🏾
If this dude would have live long enough, to live during the Galactic Civil War, he'll had join the Rebellion, and be Vader's rival when it came to starfighter combat.
I remember having this comic when I was little and it was a great read
I remember this guy...Its really sad they didnt have him in the Zygerria arc. I was legit hoping he'd show up.
I wanted him to sound like Manfrid Von Richtofen. For...obvious reasons.
Odd they took a WWI pilot instead of someone from WWII, considering most everything else from Star Wars is WWII inspired, more or less.
I guess fewer people know who Eric Hartmann is...
Didn’t know about this character until now thanks for the Star Wars lore 😁😁👌👌
First hi please reply been watching since 1st video when ur we’re fact free
Hands down one of the most badass characters in star wars.
Those comic is so poorly drawn, but the story is alright
Never knew any of this. Pretty awesome story
I like seeing stories about humans who fought for the separatists. I also like stories where the Republic is doing possibly unethical actions, foreshadowing it's transformation into the Empire.
0:07 He looks identical to Manfred von Richthofen, the most skilled ace pilot of WW1.
Amazing story. Thank you.
I just realised that Tofen is a reference to the red baron, Manfred von RichTofen. Well played Star Wars...well played.
It's a complete shame we never got this to happen in animated form.
He painted his ship red, nice.
this guys reminds me of the Red Baron, and as well that reminds me of the new Sabaton song they did, which makes me want to listen to it now
HIGHER, KING OF THE STARS, HES FLYING TOO FAST AND HES FLYING TOO FAR.
The design of his starfighter is hella dope. Would totally buy a lego set based on it.
i read this we had these comic books in my high school library
“Tofen” like Manfred Richthofen, bright red, oddly-shaped snub fighter, and the guy in the art even looks like the real guy. This isn’t the most subtle of parallels, but it’s still neat.
Once again...a very interesting story
There have been four Red Baron archetypes throughout Star Wars.
For the Separatists, it was Tofen.
For the Rebellion and New Republic, it was Wedge.
For the Empire, it was Baron Soontir Fel.
For the Empire of the Hand and eventually the Fel Empire, it was Jagged Fel himself.
Right off the bat, a Chad dunking on a Jedi Cruiser.
This was my favorite comic it reminded me of the Red Baron from WW1.
Heh got here early, have to say that I love this channel!
This guy deserves his own movies
Reminds me of the red baron and how enemies respected even after his death as a chivalrous knight
Higher, the king of the sky,
He's flying too fast and he's flying to high.
Higher, an eye for an eye,
The legend will never die!
So can't there ever be genially honorable CIS/Imperial, without needing to have been tricked or blackmailled into serving the CIS/Empire, or not eventually defecting to the "good side".
