Also, I have food poisoning. So I hope y'all know how much I love ya ;)
Unsc vs Starfleet in a total war
Good luck with that eck I had it one
Can you do a senate commando video. They arenât covered that well
What did you eat?
Wow eckhartsladder reads comments jk he always does
The âphase 1.5â armor to me is the Definitive Arc trooper armor. They are the some of the best of the best and therefore should stand out.
I also think that they look the best
Yeah it looks the best
I prefer the normal P1, Fordo is also the best ARC of all time.
luckysix I personally prefer the old legends phase one arc trooper armors. But the 1.5 is up there as one of my favorite armors and helmet designs. The helmet always reminds me of the concept art for the ROtS clone trooper helmet.
I like the extra blast/armor plate that they added in front of the chestplate
I was under the impression that the Captains and Commanders received ARC training to better improve not just their combat skill but also their critical thinking to better command their troops, but werenât actual âARC Troopersâ units.
All command units recieved arc trooper trainer once they are in the program....Rex showed a huge degree of leadership skill which is why although he wasnt a true bred arc still recieved training
As for all captains and commanders got this to improve critical thinking, leadership skill etc etc. Although rex was bred to be in a command trooper his wasnt bred in the alpha 17 program
I feel like it may have been a distinction that he chose, perhaps theres an option along the line to progress to a higher clone rank or become an official ARC. Clones like Cody and Bacara obviously would have chosen the route that got them to there marshal commander roles, but knowing how rex feels about rank and skill (from the show and what he tells Ashoka in the movie) he seems like he would have kept his rank and chosen to become a true ARC
@@spencerrr9878 Rex (according to the sourcebook for the 2007 Clone Wars movie) was a clone who recived Arc training, and existed in a kind of limbo between the Arc and regular command structures, thus he was given the rank of "Captian" instead of "Commander," due to his unusual staus. He is also noted as leading Torrent company specifically, while Alpha leads the 501st as a whole, though that may have changed later in the war.
On one hand you are right but those are from the old legend
@@luxeternity Comrade, the old Expanded Universe is just as real as Disney's version.
The Phase II ARC Troopers in Battlefront 2 actually have the 1.5 features! Even then two antennas
Interesting!
EckhartsLadder hey man, the phase 2 clone on your thumbnail is actually still phase 1.5. You can tell by the breathing filter being the same as 1.5 and slightly different to phase 2 breather
Alex Rogers Its even the same Echo figure, just a different picture
Michael Kilsdonk I know itâs from the hot toys line
I bought the blue phase 1.5 ARC Trooper skin in Battlefront 2 and I literally feel like I'm playing as like Fives or Echo
"They'll grow up loyal to the Republic, or they don't grow up at all!" -Alpha 17
Alpha 17 might be the scariest Clone ever created
Callum Webb Nah that would be the Null-class ARC troopers. Clone Commando Darman of Omega Squad said that during his time on Kamino he remembered seeing the Nulls climbing up the supports of the domes, swinging around hundreds of meters above the floor and accurately placing blaster bolts just a couple of centimeters from the heads of the Kaminoan technicians who were working. They were the first clone troopers created and their behavior made the Kaminoans want to terminate them, but they were saved when Kal Skirata took them under his supervision.
The clones will grow up to loyal the emperor, not the republic.
@@familyisimportant5794 He is the Republic as far as I am concerned.
@@sergioruiz733 What do you mean "He"? The clones were bred for obedience. And they must obey the one that gave the order, Palpatine issues Order 66, a pre-arranged military command ordering all Clone Troopers to execute their Jedi commanders in the event that the Jedi "betray" the Republic. So the clones are loyal to the emperor.
Three more days until the Clone Wars returns. Letâs go!
They better give us a season 8 if they make enough money off season 7. Dark Disciple, Boba vs Bane, Son of Dathomir, and Yoda and Bad Batch Kashyyyk ARC are a must. It could also be a extension of season 7 or a bonus season.
@@billclark5055 I am offended you didn't say Delta squad arc.
@@alkohnest That would be dope too. But I just want to see them finish the stuff they already started. If they're not willing to do the things I suggested, then they definitely won't be willing to make a whole new arc about Delta Squad.
@@alkohnest I just want a sequel to RC. Make RC canon and add a 2nd one that goes on to Order 66.
Bill Clark Of they did do season 8 it could be post order 66 and the GAR rapping up the clone wars while shifting into the empire could make a really interesting season
I think the Phase 1.5 armor is my favorite in terms of design, especially the helmet.
The Phase 1 fin combined with the Phase 2 helmet just looks so good in my opinion, combined with the double pauldron and combat skirt it just seems like the perfect standard clone armor variant.
My introduction to Arc Troopers was in the classic 2D animated series with Badasses like Captain Fordo.
And even though I think the 2D ones perform more epic feats, I prefer the Phase 2 Arc trooper armor that clones like Fives would wear.
I actually prefer the Phase 1 armor personally.
I think 2d ones have Huds too but, Bad Batch wrecks them all
NULL ARCs wreck Bad Batch though
@@billclark5055 even Alpha class.
@@bradmorales4002 I'd say so. Bad Batch and Null ARCs are genetically enhanced super soldiers. With tech that's just as good and awesome stunts too.
Captain Fordo is the biggest certified badass out there
A one man army.
Yeah wish they would bring him back but I heard that he died in a battle with grievous injuring grievous and the main reason he was missing for some time in the show
@@ZayK-WithDaDraco Fordo never died, you may be thinking of another ARC but Fordo was never listed as having died
@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 ok
CHAD 100
Bric: Gentlemen! Who wants to be an Arc Trooper?
Clones: I do sir!
Bric: You have to pass your final test first! I want you to meet Commander Colt, of the Rancor Battalion!
Colt: I want you troopers to remember, we're shoulder to shoulder on those front lines, brothers! And sometimes we make out own, but no matter what, we are united!
Was it Colt that died in front of 99?
No that was Arc Trooper Havoc, the blue Arc Trooper. Colt was the red one who got stabbed by Ventress.
@@piercepayumo4212 Oh shit...now that sceneđ
I watched this series right now.
I watched this series right now.
5:29 âlik if u cri everytimâ got me đ poor ninety-nine he was a beast đ
Evan Belles thatâs because you just see the bigger picture of the war.Basically no clone ever changed history because they were basically slaves.99 was a clone who still fought even though he was a deformed clone
Evan Belles he was going tho get some new grenades even though noone asked him for that.In the episodes you could clearly see that he couldnât run like any other clones do too his deformations.Yes he did fail with getting new ones but at least he acted like a true soldier and tried to instead of being behind the lines and do nothing just because he was a failed clone
Evan Belles Just like I said you just see the bigger picture but if you see the clones as individuals.Not as someone who really accomplished something but as someone we like to remember because he tried to be a good soldier.Running was the fastest option and crawling wouldnât have done anything.There werenât enough blasters too so....yeah.If you just see clones as soldiers and searching for something they accomplished then itâs logical that you cannot see why people like him so much.But as someone in his situation it is the best thing he could have done.And itâs not only about this episode itâs about all episodes he was.He was a kind man even though wasnât really liked or respected but he still saw every one as his brothers and did the best to unit and help them.Its not always about accomplishments but sometimes itâs about the little things that donât really matter for a war but for some persons.
Evan Belles you have no empathy dude
99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99!99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99! 99!
I would love a breakdown of the ARC's vs the Clone Commandoes, since you'd think there is overlap between the two Spec Ops forces, and its not immediately clear which branch did what and why.
Clone Commandos: elite spec ops for top secret squad based missions
ARC troopers: ONE MAN ARMIES WHO WILL KILL EVERYTHING
ARCs destroy them
Clone commandos= navy seals
ARC= green berets/ army rangers
@Jet Alone I prefer created harcore clones trained by Jango himself than just random clones who rose up in ranks and gets to become one.
@Jet Alone that would've made the series 1,000% percent better. A truly wasted potential.
Real quick, let's just take a second to appreciate Eck here. He posted a video ~1 day ago then he releases this one today, supposedly on short notice based on the last one because we wanted to know more. Just a round of applause for him.
EDIT: I just saw his comment about having food poisoning, we just don't deserve him
EckhardsLadder:đyou will press the like button
Me: I will press the like button
I like the prototype phase 2 armour more than the final design
Defintely my favorite Time Period. Binge watching currently in anticipation of the final season! Anakin is great in this series and just makes Episode 3 hit harder đą
Rex (according to the sourcebook for the 2007 Clone Wars movie) was a clone who recived Arc training, and existed in a kind of limbo between the Arc and regular command structures, thus he was given the rank of "Captian" instead of "Commander," due to his unusual staus. He is also noted as leading Torrent company specifically, while Alpha leads the 501st as a whole, though that may have changed later in the war.
Who else excited for the next clone wars season?
Canât wait , I have a bunch of reports due on Friday , but when I get home I get to watch it!
Yes and no. A bit disappointed by only 12 episodes
They better give us a season 8 if they make enough money off season 7. Dark Disciple, Boba vs Bane, Son of Dathomir, and Yoda and Bad Batch Kashyyyk ARC are a must. It could also be a extension of season 7 or a bonus season.
Where we dropping?
@@billclark5055 it doesnt matter how ever u interpret it....season 8 is never ever gonna happen unfortunately....and plus its the final season.....
ARC troopers always have been my favorite of the clone troopers. Glad to see this fantastic video on their armor.
Isn't there an episode of The clone wars where Rex says "That's why he's the arc trooper" when referring to Fives?
Yup. Right after tup killed tiplar
@@kgbricks7426 So why would he say that if he was one? Always thought that was weird
@@teslasnek it's cuz he wasn't an ARC Trooper
XP-8 TIM Rex was a captain, not an ARC. Fives was an ARC.
The Phase 1.5 armor looks so good, it's like a blend of Phase 1 and 2 together, I wish Regular Clones had those helmet so we can make an army of them
"Five and Echos"
lol
ARC Troopers are badass! I can't wait to see the rest of this season!
Could you maybe do a video on what happened to Professor Huyang. He is the droid that helped the younglings build their lightsabers in the clone wars. I think it would be cool to see what happened to him after order 66.
Both Star Wars clone wars (2003 version) and Star Wars the clone wars are both good shows and their both better than the Sequel Trilogy!
I would like to learn more about the clone commandos and how they differ from the clone regulars and ARC troopers.
If I remember correctly it was Rex that promoted Fives and Echo to ARC-Troopers. I take this as a strong hint for him to be an ARC himself.
Thank you so much for the great video ( as usual)!
I rewatched the clone wars episodes too and I do agree that there isnât as much ARC content then remembered
I would combine Captain Fordo and Captain Rex Clone armor
in Legends Rex was not an ARC Trooper, he was an ARC Commander, a clone commander who was partially formed as an ARC Trooper, sometimes by ARC, sometimes by Cuy'val Dar
Hope you feel better man, love the recent vids on armour. Stormtrooper armour variation next?
What you're talking about with Rex getting ARC training is Alpha 17's ARC commander program. Basically he trained various commanders including Cody, Bacara, Bly, Gree, essentially all the iconic ones. The point of the program was to give the commanders more leadership training and individuality
Alpha ARCs > every other âARCâ
This post was made by Fordo gang
Who needs new armor when duel pistols do just fine.
Null Arcs: **chuckles**
@@sohn7767 *cough* Verpine sniper *cough*
Finnegan McCarthy you got my interested. What happened? Dif that guy snipe one of them or what
Null ARCs: are we a joke to you?
stop making me cry with that 99 clip every time you talk about Arc Troopers
Always looking forward to a new Star Wars video by Eck!
Let's get a vid on the republic commandos! Loving this clone wars content, Eck.
Please do the Rex video it would be great having a bit more info on him especially with him being a big part of the next season
Thanks for doing this video. It would make sense for Rex to have this additional training as an ARC trooper.
Another difference Iâve noticed between phase 1 and 2 is that phase 1 has a fin sort of thing on top of the helmet.
Wait what happened to arc troopers after the clone wars?
They became âVaderâs Fist.â
@@YaBoiBrendo that true? I thought Vader's fist was just the 501st
@@YaBoiBrendo That was the entire 501st. Some ARCs merged into special forces units which hunted Jedi while others became instructors, iirc.
Some ARC's went off to join the Mandalorian's such as the Null ARC's and Spar, some became bounty hunters like Alpha 66. This is EU lore.
In legends some stayed with the empire becoming imperial special forces others deserted like the Null arcs and became bounty hunters, mercs, joined the mandalorians etc
I never thought of captain Rex as an ARC! Maybe he has the training for it but didnât accept the former title. Like how he never became a commander of the 501st out of respect for ahsoka!! Interesting!!! Great great video, very entertaining and informative!!!! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
please make the vid about weather or not Rex is an Arc or not!
uknownuser23 AGREED
You should do a breakdown of the different specialization of phase two armor
All command units recieved arc trooper trainer once they are in the program....Rex showed a huge degree of leadership skill which is why although he wasnt a true bred arc still recieved training
As for all captains and commanders got this to improve critical thinking, leadership skill etc etc. Although rex was bred to be in a command trooper his wasnt bred in the alpha 17 program
Loving these recent Star Wars uploads man keep it up!
Love your vids hope to see more I would really like to hear about some force abilities
Thank you for making this video. I've always wondered about arc armor. I am reading republic comando and they always talk about the nulls armor
Just found your channel and Iâm liking the content. Keep it up man
Great video, that was fun to watch!
I've only read that Rex (and other clone leaders like Cody) had ARC level training on top of their commander training but were not considered to be ARCs
A very good video, quite interesting and a nice way to end the day.
Rex being a purpose built ARC makes some sense because they're all supposed to be smarter than the average clone, more independent, and just generally more badass.
But I personally think that it makes Rex more badass if he was part of the regulars, but the cloning process went wrong slightly, so they produced an ARC accidentally without realising it. A regular trooper, rising through the ranks to become a commando.
#AskEck
What happened to the ARC troopers after the clone wars ended? Did they get absorbed into the regulars as officers? Did they form some Imperial special forces unit to 'troubleshoot' political problems? Did they take retirement? Or did the Empire see their independence as a threat and 'retire' them?
Just saying when ever i want to know information on star wars your the person i always go to. Love your video's keep up the good work m8.đđ
and please make more what ifs we missed you doing them
i was watching your other video and you promised a vid on arc trooper armor. the second i open the search guess what pops in my notifications?
my prayers have been ansered.
A very extremely great video as always EckhartsLadder, and happy Star Wars day too.
#askeck, do you think Thrawn could make an appearance in the next season of The Mandalorian? It takes place in 9 ABY, the year Thrawn was killed by Rukh in legends... except in canon Rukh was killed in Star Wars Rebels in 0BBY on Lothal.
Barbecued to death tho.
I always loved rex and I was never sure if he was an ARC trooper. I'm glad that he is classified as one because it seems befitting. Especially since he is by far the most bad ass clone out there. So I'd definitely love to see a video going into this
I suppose Rex's case isn't too dissimilar to a US Special Forces operator who managed to become a General, there were a few in the USAF and US Army, if I recall correctly. Rex could have originally been trained as an ARC trooper, but was transferred to the officer corps when his aptitude for leadership was discovered.
Granted, we know very little as to how these kinds of things worked in the Clone army, but the parallels could be reasonably made.
I need to know how to build clone armor
Also I need to find out how to get one of those things on the helmet that bly has also 422nd siege battalion
Check out Ryzerâs channel. He made a suit and dc-17 out of like industrial floor mats or something
One of the best Star Wars channels
Yes please do a full video on Rex and the ARC troopers! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
need more videos about ARCs!
I always thought Rex was just part of the command class of clones but the 501st colors made him resemble an ARC.
Yes always wanted to know about the armor
The 03 clone wars Fordo stood out with his armor
Hey Ecks, Jacob Gehrke from Twitter.
I hope my info share helped you a lot. Keep up the good work.
You should do a video talking about the most important arcs to watch going into Season 7.
Alden S Jones I believe to start from the end of season 3 and end at season 6. I donât think seasons 1 and 2 are really important.
Thanks for this video and who is your top 2 favorite Arc Troopers.
I like Fordo's phase 2 armor. It kind of reflects his transition to a command role.
And yes please, can you settle the debate as to whether Captain Rex was or wasnât an ARC trooper? Thank you
He was not an official ARC trooper but he was trained by Alpha 17 along with the other clone commanders so that they would have better combat and leadership skills. Rex actually says in one episode "that's why he's the ARC trooper" when talking about Fives confirming that he is not an official ARC trooper.
I think you should make a video on how Rex(clone wars show) is/was an ark trooper it would be very interesting.
Also I definitely did cry when 99 died
It would seem pretty rational that Rex was classified as an ARC as he was one of many future clone leaders to go through Alphaâs training program. But that would raise the question of why Cody, Baccara, etc. arenât considered ARCs too.
There are even something called arc commanders such as commander colt
Has no one else noticed that ARC trooper armor seems to have an additional plate of armor on the breastplate? And in the clone commando book series (legends), the ARC trooper armor is described as heavier than regular clone armor. (Clone trooper Corr had to wear ARC Captain Ordo's armor)
Maybe ARC Troopers in Canon are more similar to the US Army's Rangers. There is the specific Ranger school in which you receive additional training and are awarded a ranger tab but then are sent back to their same positions just with additional skills (ie Fives and Echo) however there also is the 75th Ranger Battalion which is a special operations unit. (ie Fordo)
It would've be interesting if the phase-II helmets had the same sort of crest as were on the heads of the Cylon Centurions in Battlestar Galactica (1978 series).
In Battlefront 2 2017 I'm still struggling to decide whether to use a Phase 1 ARC Trooper armor skin or a Phase 2 ARC Trooper armor skin (or technically 1.5 as you've pointed out). I grew up on the 2003 Clone Wars series so everytime I think ARC Trooper I think of Fordo and his crew kicking ass and lookin' good while doing it, but the Phase 2 armor also looks really good.
@EckhartsLadder Just wanted to say that I love your videos and have been watching them since 2017. Here is how I view ARC troopers in cannon: ARC troopers and their training similar to how US Ranger school works. Many legion commanders were trained ARC troopers but not apart of the ARC trooper Corp if I remember correctly. In real life many infantry officers have to attend and pass ranger school. Not everyone that passes Ranger school are apart of Ranger regiment. I see the clone soldiers as the same. Not all trained ARC troopers are apart of the ARC trooper Corp. Their training eludes to more competent leadership qualities not found among the normal ranks.
The phase 2 prototype is my favorite armor of the Clones. The helmet is great as it combines phase 1 and 2
I love your videos can you a video on all the jedi temple's in star wars canon and legends or does earth exist in the star wars universe update
Iâm back after watching the Rex video, as I said youâve earned yourself a subscriber
Just pointing out that in the thumbnail if you look closely both of the images of arc trooper Echo are phase 1.5- the scratches, armour and helmet design are both the same, only difference is the angle which the photo was taken at
There was no phase 1.5, this is a delusion.
There is ARC phase 1 armor and ARC phase 2 armor.
ARK Phase 1 Armor, looked like regular Phase 1 armor, but with modifications.
ARK Phase 2 Armor, looked like Phase 2 armor but was essentially a prototype for Phase 2.
I don't know if it is just the lighting and paint throwing me off with the phase 1.5 helmet, but to me it does look bulkier. The chin filters look like they have less of a decline angle, and the chin valves are closer together. Also the face plate looks closer together giving a tighter look to it.
I mean, makes sense that Rex would have received ARC training. He certainly fights like them, and easily meets the same qualifications that Fives and Echo did. Especially if the Jaig eyes on his helmet are still supposed to hold significance, and not just be something neat he painted on his armor.
Please more arc trooper and or republic commando videos.
Phase 2 prototype ARC trooper armor is always my favorite.
Please make a full video on Rex. I have so many questions
do you think you can make what if yoda trained young anakin skywalker or make what if anakin stayed on mortis just like the father said ,took his place to keep the son and daughter controlled
Yes! ARC Trooper time!!!
Fun Fact: If you've watched the latest clone wars episode "the bad batch," you'll notice that the helmet Hunter wears is a hybrid between clone commandos and 1st generation storm troopers.
I might be mistaken but I think I read somewhere that all Clone Commanders (like Cody, Gree, etc.) received ARC training, so that helps the case for Captain Rex (who is treated like a commander by everyone)
Do the full video on the contradictions in the clone wars
could you please make a video explaining the orgins of the ARC Trooper skins in Battlefront 2 (Lambent, Cobalt and Umbra)? Thanks!!!
Do a evolution/era of the tie fighter
Phase 1.5 helmets are straight up fucking *GOD TIER*
I find it interesting how the arc trooper armor in the clone wars actually had distinct extra armor plating on the torso covering the chest. Which makes me think fives make have been able to survive his shot to the chest had he still been in his arc trooper armor, even though that would have been impossible. Still food for thought.
2 more days till clone wars season 7 yeahhhh boi!
Do another vid about ARC troopers!
I'd like to see a video about the Zillo Beast!
What are the rolls and responsibilities of ARC troopers? And how do they differ from Commandos? I've heard it assumed that the training and status is like the Ranger tab in the US Army.
