    I think you're seariously undervaluing the CIS special forces, some of their units were incomparably superior to their rank and file troops. Both the Magnaguards and the droidekas posed a legitimate threat to jedi masters for christs sake, and the BX-series as shown in the clone wars series were unstoppable killing machines with advanced tactics that were superior to any but the very best individual clone. I don't consider super battle droids special forces btw, they are more like heavy infantry in my opinion.

If both and weren't in the rebellion, how would the rebels have gotten the plans, given that bothans are known to make really good spies. How about WOOKIEES with their incredible strength and endurance? How about the verpine who are a race on insectoid super engineers who are some of the best mechanics in the galaxy due to their compound eyes being able to see even the smallest flaw in a part? Let's add in the contributions of other notable races such as the skills of the ugnaughts in the fields of droid maintenance and repair, the sullustans with their intense knowledge of starship maintenance and combat, or even the contributions of the Mon Calamari who built the bulk of the Rebellions capital ships and served as natural leaders?

      The issue I think he finds it it's hard to just rate the Rebels the worst at stuff since they beat the GE. But it's not a conventional war it's a guerilla war so he shouldn't feel bad to.
      The GE had a crazy amount of SpecOps because it gave book different run enemies so the sheer weight rates them high. Yet because good guys and plot, the rebel special forces get shitloads of successes basically did better than GE. So it's a weird thing where they have no training or special things, but they beat 1st place so what do you do?

      In addition to that, they have instant reflexes, no hesitation or indecision, no empathy, can operate in any environment, can communicate and coordinate instantly+constantly with other droids, and can use the excess weight organic soldiers would need for life support (and internal organs) to store more armaments, shields, etc. With a nearby organic directing them, assassin droid squads armed with sniper rifles and grenade launchers would be outright terrifying to fight.

      Coruscanta a’den, mhi vode an! Gotta say, out of all the individual special forces units, I’d have to say the RC/IC would wipe the floor with anyone else. Personal shields, advanced armor, training from the best warriors the galaxy has ever seen. The Dark Troopers, specifically Phase III, are very deadly, but they’re still droids.

    Commando droids, able to mimic voices, wear clone armor, and can infiltrate the Republic. Also deadly accurate snipers, as we saw one almost kill Rex with one shot in the Deserter episode of the clone wars. Terrifying snipers and great infiltrators if no one pays attention to them saying 'roger roger'
    Super battle droids, while are arguably infantry units as well as the standard B1 battle droids. Aren't included within the infantry episode so we have to look at them too. Dangerous, strong units that can take punishment and dish it out. Wrist rockets can kill almost everyone, they can also be outfitted to be arial troops.
    Droidicas/Destroyers rolling balls of death that turn into a slow moving, Deflector shield generator built into them. Minigun of lasers. These fellas may not be able to change how they fight like how clones can, but they don't need that to destroy any non-jedi who comes into contact with them without the right equipment or reinforcements to combat them.
    Magna-guards are fierce droids built to combat Jedi, and can fight while having been sliced in half... not a lot of droids can still operate after being sliced up, missing head? Eh, they don't need a head to hit you with a electrical, light saber proof staff. I know a clone can't fight after having been sliced apart... nor can most folks, unless they are a red fella with a double bladed lightsaber.
    The republic clones and special forces are great, and I agree that they are the best, or one of the best infantry and special forces of the Star wars universe. But the CIS are... they deserve better than being put at the bottom of the list.
    Let's also state that while vehicles can destroy most, if not all of the CiS special forces, infantry. Etc. We have to look at how a fight within closed spaces, where a vehicle can't fit. Would play out...
    Commando droids are dangerous if you let them get close, what with their vibro swords, and they are deadly at range too. Being more accurate than standard B1s.
    Super battle droids can destroy you with a wrist rocket if you don't have enough room to dodge
    Droidicas/Destroyers... they own the enclosed spaces if you aren't a jedi, or aren't properly equipped to deal with them.
    Manga-guards are mostly used as body guards so you don't really have to worry about them... that is, unless your a jedi and Grievous wants to take you hostage.
    I believe the CIS special forces should've ranked higher, mainly because of how dangerous their special forces are. Even if they are droids, even if they can't think creatively. They can still be dangerous and destructive troops on the battlefield if used correctly by their commanders/tactical droids.

    Even though a lot of people have already said it, I feel like adding my own two cents here when I say that the CIS were kinda downplayed here. First of all droids sure more durable then their clone counterparts, still being operable after losing limbs, or in some cases with more advanced models, their heads. Droids can adapt to any environment with ease, even in the vacuum of space. Also, there's a certain intimidation factor that comes with your enemies being droids. You can't appeal to them or reason with them. If they're sent to kill you, they won't stop until you're dead, or told otherwise. Compare that to the rebellion that honestly didn't really have special forces. Sure, they had spies, but they were a guerilla faction that relied a lot more on hit and run tactics, subterfuge, and abusing the overall size of the Galactic Empire over elite soldiers.

      What you say about the rebels is very wrong. Basically the Rebels used special forces the most of all factions. At Scarif and Endor there were only special forces, not regular forces. The greatest inversion the Alliance did with ground forces was in special forces, as it was unable to acquire enough combat vehicles or to train and recruit enough numbers of regular soldiers.

    Edit: Yeah thats a pretty vague point on why they are a very effective and elite fighting force, Their coordination and determination is literally the point they exist, they were like brothers to each other and teamwork was one of the most important thing in espionage combat, their gear and weaponry were by far some of the greatest the republic had to offer and had some great tutoring with as said had different personalities and were genetically engineered to be more strong willed to handle more extreme situations better as they had higher moral then ordinary troopers, although the empire dedicated more to theirs as they were humans instead of clones they didn’t have the same aspect of being birthed and trained together but this isn’t an army rating and the republic would indefinitely win on that scale but talking SF units its a different scale, id say Republic and Imperial SF units were very close as they were based of each other.

      Not a Meme dude, they trained for ten years straight, under ruthless kaminoan quality-controllers, who would recondition or kill any unit who didn’t meet their high standards. Plus they were trained by the best bounty hunters and mercenaries in the galaxy, handpicked by Jango himself, most of which were Mandalorians... plus, their armour was way stronger than any other faction, they literally had armour shields, plus the actual armour, when even just their bodysuit could stop a blaster bolt (or at least provide some protection from one)
      One Republic Commando literally jumped on a Grenade and all that he got was a dinted armour plate
      The only faction that MIGHT be better is the empire, because the Clone Commandos and ARCs became Imperial Commandos with slightly upgraded gear, however those commandos wouldn’t have lasted that much longer because of the accelerated aging. I’d say by the time of A New Hope, imperial special forces would have been significantly inferior to Republic ones, mainly due to the fact that they didn’t have the same training or experience that the clones did

      Shielded Katarn-class commando armor > Battle Droid exoskeleton
      "Katarn-class commando armor was armor used by clone commandos during the Clone Wars. It was named after the predatory animal from Kashyyyk. It weighed 20 kilograms and could cost up to 100,000 credits on the black market.
      This armor was more expensive and provided better protection than standard clone armor, due to the special composition and novel chemical properties of its armor plates, along with the inclusion of deflector shields. It was also designed for easy bacta injection via handheld dispensers. Katarn armor was often highly customized by the clone commandos who wore it."
      Citation: starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Katarn-class_commando_armor
      Battlefield programming of all battle droids > Mandalorian-instructed special forces commandos
      "Clone commandos were trained by a group of one hundred elite training sergeants chosen by Jango Fett, of which seventy-five were Mandalorian mercenaries. These men and women, known as the Cuy'val Dar trained the commandos in a variety of tactics and fighting techniques, but the impressionable commandos also developed a few behavioral traits similar to their instructors. The first generation of clone commandos were selected from the regular clone batches and then segregated into "pods" of four, effectively forcing them to depend on each other and work together in order to survive. During their training, commando squads were often pitted against each other during combat sessions.
      Clone commandos were trained in live-fire exercises, giving them a sense of the reality of combat long before the regular clones. Anti-terrorist training was conducted in a building nicknamed the Killing House. Though many commandos failed to survive their exercises, the rest learned rapidly, allowing them to become better soldiers. However, the the loss of fellow squadmates was felt by any commando who lost a vod-a brother. The commandos also experienced near-death torture to train them in resisting interrogation, and many clones were left mentally scarred from the experience.
      By the end of the commandos' training, the Kaminoans were very pleased with the results. Although unfit to fight on the battlefield as infantry soldiers, nor capable of performing complete solo operations like the ARC troopers, the clone commandos nevertheless demonstrated themselves as a new breed of warriors that few could challenge. Neither the regular clone troopers or even the elite ARC troopers could match the clone commandos in organization and team-work. Despite the fact that many commandos were indoctrinated in Mandalorian culture and regarded each other as brothers, the Kaminoans were impressed enough to dub their experiment a complete success."
      Citation: starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Clone_commando/Legends
      Most of the clone troopers killed in combat in the movies, games, comics, etc. were usually normal front line troopers. Not elite special forces. Granted plenty of casualties did happen with clone commandos, but that was generally misuse on the part of Jedi generals who sent them into front line infantry combat rather than specialized missions on Geonosis.

      Commando Clones are far superior to Commanda Droids. The Clone Wars series has shown us that even regular Clone Troopers are able to kill Commando Droids where Commando Clones (Gregor atleast) was able to take on an entire Droid squadron. Although, Commando Droids are way more expendable than the republic special forces so you do have a point there.

    Could you imagine one of the Separatist SF droids being piloted from afar by a clone trooper trained in that droid's specialty? You would have the training and instincts of the other special forces, the technology and almost limitless stamina of droids, and borderline immunity to attrition as one of them dying just requires them to connect to a new droid - a droid which could honestly be produced in response to the first one being lost using the first one's specs at time of final deployment (so including any modifications the trooper made to it) and be ready-to-use in a couple of days.

    Leah said “The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.” This leads me to believe that whole star systems were defecting. It stands to reason that at least some of these systems would have standing military forces, or perhaps remnants or veterans of dissolved military forces, so -while the Alliance itself may not have been able to train special forces from civilian-to elite soldier, it is highly probable that they were able to get highly-trained and qualified special forces individuals and units from these veteran defectors. In addition, in cannon there are many examples of highly-trained Imperial soldiers and officers that defected to the Alliance. I still think that the Empire has the best special forces units though.

    That's the difference between them and the Imperial spec ops: Arc Troopers and the like surely were by wide margin the best soldiers of the Republic army, but they were made to be integrated with the army, while the Imperial spec ops were created to be killing machines, undergoing constant improvements and inconceivable amounts of research, hence the sheer number of different types. I think some Imperial spec ops were inferior to Jango Fett clones, but others, well, just look at the Emperor's own units.

    I mostly agree with this list, the empire just had an immense budget for special forces and better technology and they also succeeded because of the foundation if the awesome Clone Trooper special operation units. But I was surprised that you ranked the Rebels last. They had the smallest budget and the fewest resources out of any faction. I don’t think that they had better special forces, maybe they had a better way of using them because they did really good in terms of asymmetrical warfare. But if you take the usage into account, you could also argue that the Republic would come out on top. And not just because of the old „everything was rigged by Sidious“ argument. I‘m convinced that the Clone Commandos, ARCs, etc would have been better in retrieving death star plans.

    One important thing about special forces units as well as standard ones are also the era in which they are in, for example, the clone troopers needed modularity but overall were well-trained soldiers for any engagement, the droids the CIS used were due to a lack of troops and a need for cost-efficient shock troops, but the rebels lack of uniformitity couls be an ADVANTAGE. The rebel alliance is like a Bruce Lee quote, "Be like water" change your shape to fit the situation, and with the Empire hunting them 24/7 guerilla tactics with flexible roles seems fitting

    I would greatly argue that the clone army had the best spec ops, I would say the empire but they began to stop using clones after a while. The upside to clones is that their physical biology was made to be the optimal soldier, and not all stormtroopers were clones. This is why In my opinion the clone army Specops is the best. In the new season of Star Wars the clone wars we even see the all new commando squad, the bad bunch, and throughout the show we follow and see the efficiency of the arc troopers.

      +Karaz Feral-Fang, mostly true except for the rebels part lol, the rebels had actual high end blasters that were super powerful compared to the empires (they used the old clone war blasters so that should tell you something right there) and they always 1 shotted any imp, but clones could take like 6+ shots before dying lmao.

    I'd say the CIS are best, they come ready straight out of the box whereas the organics are better but far more costly in time and logistics and literal cost, if you have the money you could buy your very own commando droid which is (almost) as good as a clone commando

      Note that the empire also had commando droids plus all other variations hence why I picked them but my second would be CIS aswell due to low cost, ability to massproduce them quickly, no need for long training, ready to go when built, armed and programmed, easy to program and switch tasks. A Special forces for let say the Clone Trooper would require vast amounts of training should you need him in a role he has not been trained for. They also dont need to eat or sleep. THey might need munitions like batteries or such for weapons if runs low and they might need to recharge there batteries occasionally. Beyond that I think I would argue that they are terrifying and very effective with cost, needs to maintain and upphold compared to a trooper.

      draconianwarking Bruh commando droids couldn't beat an unarmed clone commando if they came as a full battalion

      draconianwarking hahahaha that last comment made me laugh so much. Very true, but in Star Wars, we see rookie clone troopers like Echo and Fives and Hevy take down Commando Droids. Given that, I think it’s safe to say that a Commando Droid is not even close to the level of a Republic Commando. I know Echo and Fives became ARCs, but a single Republic Commando would also destroy any Cannon ARC in skill and especially gear and tech

      we get it you like the cis, but we aren't talking about the cost of the troops just the overall skill. if I had to pick one of those to protect me with their life is easily choose the clone commandos
