The Republic is known for their Jedi peacekeepers wo actually have nothing to do with War. However noumerous Jedi like Anakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka as well as Padme Amidala seem to take questionable chances sometimes in Order to take the win against the seperatist droids in the Clone Wars. For example on Mandalore or Onderon. So watch this video where I show you all the warcrimes commited by the "good guys".

What Pong Krell did to the clones on Umbara is a whole new level of war crimes before Order 66.
That was more like treason and murder. War crimes are usually understood to be against a real or perceived enemy, not one's own soldiers.
To be fair, the clones themselves were committing crimes against the Umbarans.

I love the implication that Anakin has committed false surrender enough times for the tactical droid to know that he's lying just by looking at him.
"I don't need to have the most robust tactical programming in the Galaxy, it's fucking Anakin Skywalker your dumb fucks!"
I think he knew because its smart enough to know a Jedi wouldn’t surrender out of no where
@@MELTEDBUHTTER And also because Anakin Skywalker is a walking talking example of why everyone should respect the law against false surrender, it only leads to everyone never accepting surrender.
Realistically every attempt to surrender or bring aid would be met with gun fire so they are responsible for millions of deaths

For anyone wondering the battle droids check off pretty much every box for qualifying as sentient, they are shown to have opinions, to be able to learn, to have emotions like fear,sadness, and joy. They have a sense of selve preservation, they are shown to value things such as promotions and working conditions, and it’s literally explained that the droids were upgraded to be free thinkers some time after the war initially began.
We consider them mindless droids while cheering up seeing C3PO or R2D2.
Clone wars made them sentient for comic relief. They weren't like that in the movies. Clone Wars also created the war crimes
@@histguy101 And during the whole Star Wars movies there was no single war shown x] In AotC it started, in RotS it finished, then it was just guerrilla :D
They are still droids, so most likely considered military equipment by both sides of that war.
Droids were not upgraded, they just lose the programation

I still love the fact that Anakin uses surrendering to the seperatists to catch them offguard and win the battle. And Obi-Wan's expression in season 7 when he does that is just priceless. He's just like "not this shit again, really" lol
But Obi Wan was the first to use false surrender, he's just learning from his master

Hi kids, today we'll be watching commiting war crimes with Anakin.
Separatist tactics: Thoughtful, calculating strategies that take in every aspect of the battlefield and clone battle patterns.
Anakin: Fakes surrender
I’d let the flamethrowers slide on the fact that the Geonosians used bioweapons (i.e. the brainworms). And if I were in Ki-Adi Mundi’s shoes, I would have done the same thing. heck, I would’ve grabbed a flamethrower myself because seeing a bug of that size would instantly grant it a 7 second long free trial of hell
War crimes don't justify war crimes
@@gordonf5553 how would you like it if you saw a swarm of 5 foot tall murder hornets, who are holding guns that _liquefy_ you, flying straight at you, and kidnapping your men like something out of a horror movie?
Also, flamethrowers aren't a war crime.
Also they’re combatants and not civilians therefore using incendiary weapons isn’t a war crime in the first place.
If I had a nickel for every time Anakin faked surrendering to the Separatists, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice.
Your reference....it is....most satisfying
3 if you count Obi-wan's fake surrender.
Those are only the ones you see on camera. Imagine how many times he probably does it off camera.
Hey then you can call yourself kid nickels on the fact that you have 2 nickels 😂😋🙏
When I read it I thought that sounded low, then I remembered that it’s more Obi-Wan’s tactic.

“Well, I don’t think battle droids count as lifeforms, so it’s not really that bad…”
*starts burning Genosians alive and executing them as they retreat*
“…oh dear”
My thought process summed up
Using flamethrowers against military targets isnt a warcrime. Killing fleeing enemies who havent surrendered or who arent injured is also not a war crime. Idk why ventress is classified as a war crime when they arent present on a battlefield, somehow telling removing citizens from a battlefield to a shelter is deporting them which is also not a warcrime, the training of insurgents is once again not a war crime. Before 2 minutes into the video half of the "war crimes arent even war crimes so idk what the poster of this video is even talking about.
@@masterhacker7065 Those are both literally warcrimes lmao
If the droids have sentience, I would argue that it is a war crime.
Genosians deserve it though
The clones grow naturally so you can add “Indoctrination of Child Soldiers” up there
The Jedi do that as well but apparently, it's wrong when a Sith Lord starts doing it. 🙄 Also, can we acknowledge the fact that in the Star Wars: Rebels episode where some Inquisitors tried to kidnap some force-sensitive children so that they could be used as dark side agents and in the end of the episode, Ahsoka tells Kanan that a Sith Lord tried the same thing during the Clone Wars even though that was never confirmed by the Jedi, themselves in said situation? We know that it was Darth Sidious behind Cad Bane's abduction of force-sensitive children because we have an outsider's view of things happening in the series, but the Jedi and the Republic don't.
Oh don’t forget those clones are forced to fight and if they refuse to fight they are “decommissioned” aka murdered. So slavery as well.
@@williamkillian735 once the Jedi and the republic took control of kamino the murder of non compliant clones was stopped instead they were just put on janitorial work in the kaminoan facilities
@@deeznutz6312 Thank you for that bit of information. However I have also read that clones that weren’t up to snuff were “decommission” as well. Did that stop too or did the Jedi ever find out about that?
@@williamkillian735 yes. I think the bad batch was actually named after a defective clone
I'm not sure Lucas could've done that in three films because it takes a lot of character work and time to do that, but Anakin falling to the dark side because he was literally battle-hardened, having seen the Jedi way fail his friends and costing them their lives many times over was way more belieavable. "I don't have any such weaknesses" really summarizes his character development in the series. You see him come into his own as a leader of men, which makes him more respectable and likeable overall, and you also see how casual about death and violence he gets. At the end of the Clone Wars, it would've really felt like he was ready to put on the Vader mask. The film version was too abrupt, too whiny. Mind you, the basic ingredients are all there, but it's too subtle at times.
I mean, he kinda fell because he never got trained to handle war properly, if we go by the well written (mostly legends) stuff. Every time they had mass falls to the dark side or "star pupils" fall it is because somebody messed up their training or sent clearly untrained and unsuitable people into war. Whenever they kept to sending out the properly trained jedi then even the spec ops/black ops people worked out nicely.
True
clone wars anakin is just way cooler way better written and more likable overall making his fall to the dark side hit 10X harder.
like can u imagine how crazy it would be to watch the clone wars version of he and obi wans battle 🤯
I love how Anakin’s a complete war criminal, yet he was my child’s favorite toy growing up.
"It was just a happy accident...."
"Anakin, you murdered 20 children."
"21, actually."
"Bob Ross has trained you well."
not just the children, but the men, and the women
Me, who just blew up an orphanage: "Pathetic"
Like I said, just a happy accident.
Anakin commits the most war crimes, and yet everyone's reaction to seeing him turn to the dark side is like, "Wow, I didn't expect that at all."
willful ignorance is a powerful tool, and depressingly common among large scale religious organizations like the Jedi.
Palpatine had him heralded as a hero BECAUSE he committed war crimes
That’s because everyone else was also committing war crimes, just not as many
It’s because the Geneva Convention doesn’t exist in the Star Wars universe son no crimes are committed
Mfs are acting like the star wars universe abides by real world war crime rules or some shit…
Obi-Wan extrajudicially executioning the Geonosian Queen and destroying the larvae chamber is probably also genocide.
Oh it most certainly is. Hell he’s basically burning down a preschool
THE definition of "star wars is for kids"
Meanwhile star wars: *casually committing warcrimes*
the fact that “torture” shows up multiple times and every single one of them is spearheaded by anakin
Makes ya wonder where Ahsoka learned it from lol
Meanwhile Obi Wan trolling his way to victory
i agree that him choking ppl is wrong and it technically IS a warcrime. Except most of the people he tortures are war criminals....so.....thats like saying killing a killer is wrong.
@@nate9030 I mean, killing a killer IS still wrong. We have the courts for that. Or police if they decide to go down swinging.
Lmao
I love that Anakin is involved with 90% of them
Anakin actively participates in 8 of these war crimes including the one the uploader counted back for some reason...idk.
Since there are 23 war crimes listed here in total, at 8 Anakin commits about 34.78% of the war crimes shown in this video. And while they're not TECHNICALLY Anakin's war crimes, I thought it'd be fun to add HALF of each of Ahsoka's crimes to Anakin's tally since...he was kinda responsible for her throughout the war.
This brings Anakin to 10.5 war crimes or 45.65% of the trouble maker.
It doesn't sound like a lot, certainly not as much as 90% (which, in order to get, Anakin would have to have committed 20.7 war crimes.)
But when you account for the fact that, according to this video the scores for the ENTIRE war are as follows:
Yoda - 1
Ki Adi Mundi - 1
Anakin - 8
Ahsoka - 5
Obi-Wan - 2
Bo Katan - 1
Clones - 2
Pong Krell - 1
Rex - 1
Padme - 2
Palpatine - 1
Anakin DEFINITELY has the most. Obi-Wan and Padme are only about 8% of the problem. The clones probably SHOULD rank higher, but I based them on whether or not they were in charge of the situation when the war crime was committed.
Anyway, all of this because your 90% made me wonder what Anakin's ACTUAL percentage of ownership of these crimes were and...apparently it's 34.78% if you don't lump his in with Ahsoka.
@@Brelidavbro what the fuck LOL
@@Brelidav I'm shocked that Ki Adi Mundi didn't have more, what with him being a monster and all.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 Keep in mind, my stats are solely based on this video. If they have more in other episodes that were not shown, then those numbers will skew. However, at a whopping total of 8, and probably more if some crimes are missing from this video, Anakin will probably have the most either way.
I worked very hard to earn 1st place in war crimes
"that one was clean, it cancels out the other warcrimes" Gotta fucken love zanny bro
Anakin: "That's outrageous, it's unfair! How can you be on the council and NOT be a master??"
Windu: "Oh, I don't know.. how about consider thinking about how you committed 95% of the war crimes during the war?"

I still remember that episode where Anakin and Ahsoka are counting the number of droids they dismantle. Ki-Adi-Mundi played the game too and had beaten both their bodycounts.
It's all heartwarming until you realize he wasn't fighting droids, he was leading the flamethrower squad and was burning Geonosians alive.

Also the Republic, giving them several reasons on why.
Well, it's a chicken or the egg problem. Did the Republic cause this with fake surrender? Or were the Separatists so brutal that Republic policy was dictated by their brutality towards surrendering clones?
@@kevinmencer3782 Honestly for this tactic to be so effective the Separatists must actually be accepting surrenders on a reliable basis. If the Septs were as brutal as the Republic claims then they would just kill the surrendering party instead of falling for their deception.
And therein lies the problem with such tactics. If a party fake surrenders in order to get in a cheap shot, then the opposition has good reason to show no mercy when people surrender for real.
@@kevinmencer3782 You do not fake surrender on an enemy that doesn't accept surrender.
The whole dirty tactic depends on exploiting the good will of your enemy.

Star Wars is literally a fictional space fantasy universe filled with completely sentient droids and space wizards. An entirely different universe is going to have some different laws, rules, regulations and moralities. Some of our laws will align while many others won't. We have to remember that instead of shoving our real world politics and laws into these fictional events all the dang time. Not everything is exactly the same over there. What's considered a "war crime" to us, may not be in the Star Wars universe.

Nice to see how Obi-Wan passed down the Art of the war crime to Anakin, who in-turn passed it down to Ahsoka. It's a dynasty now.
Like England to USA and USA to Taliban
She passed it to Kanan and Ezra, and they passed it to Sabine!
Who committed the first and then passed it down to Obi-Wan though

I feel like this stuff could've been amazing to come back to as like the consequences of the war. Like in season 6, Anakin has to actually surrender because he's outnumbered immensely, but when he does he's told by the separatist commander that since he's known for giving false surrenders, they don't accept and continue firing, forcing him to come up with a strategy to escape/win.

@@granalmirantethrawn2972 Which ultimately they did. Only a few decades after shit already hit the bed and stablize
Palps is responsible for all of them
Well, no. The goal wasn't really to "corrupt" the Jedi, but to make them compromise their beliefs (okay, yeah corruption, but this is more specific) and remove them from the people, so it'd be easy to say "The Jedi are evil" and everyone would believe it. Also, wouldn't say the republic was corrupted. It's just that war does a great job of creating an Us Vs Them mob mentality that's really dangerous and easy to convince to do anything. You'll notice in U.S. history (if you are or aren't from there) that during wars is when we were the most united. Also when we were the most xenophobic and racist and printing slurs on the front page. As for Anakin, I always thought that was just a nice bonus for Palps. It seemed like he already had his plan in place and later learned Anakin was extremely powerful in the force and having trouble being a Jedi, so he took the chance.

“BRING IN THE FLAME THROWERS!”
*guitar playing in the background*
Something i just thought:
If they can disable the droids,then couldn't they technically also reprogram them to fight on their side?I think they already did something similar in the citadel arc
They could, but it’s way too much effort for so little gain when they already have a strong army themselves
I'd offer 2 explanations:
In their galaxy, the political optics probably wouldn't look great. Your citizens are looking to you to destroy robotic world enslavers and if they then find out the government won the war but repurposed them to be "friendly" and assigned to military/law enforcement duties? Nah, the more likely want of a war-ridden galaxy is to BEAT your enemy, not have them walking amongst you.
In THIS galaxy, Lucas and the other writers/producers would need to create additional story arcs retroactively redefining the original trilogy's total lack of battle droids. At the end of the day, 100% of Star Wars lore boils down to the output of professional screenwriters, storyboard artists, scriptwriters, archivists, and producers. "Re-programming the droids" just wasn't the decided-upon path 25+ years ago by them :)
It honestly depends on resource allotment. If it is something that can scale to an entire army in a reasonable timeframe (around the same amount of time or less than it would take to scrap them all) and it wasn't a massive cost sink then yes that would have been the best action. There are two other issues with this. 1. Would the updated versions being released still have the same vulnerability? 2. Could the separatists use the same backdoor to regain control of the droids?

@@davidgeorge1943 Can confirm, Grievous had the longest list of war crimes.
@@davidgeorge1943 no no, Grievous would yell at his troops to commit war crimes such as trying to kill literally everything. Anakin would just do it when no one was looking or if he could convince Obi-wan to do it too.
@@xrstevenson no, i think grievous gets this one because friendly fire IS a warcrime.
can you remember how Many times did grievous kill his own droids...
To be fair in this series we see a bloody Jedi Council member ordering the use of flamethrowers on sentient creatures, it's not like he was surrounded by paragons of morality when he was growing up.
Anakin committing war crimes
Palpatine: Yesss Excellent
you're a real one for adding zanny's quote
“I think this war is bringing out the republic’s bad side” said Anakin who
1. Fake surrender
2. Used Torture
3. Used terrorist attacks
well, he is gonna have an easy time gathering evidence
Of course he knows this, what do you think he's basing his claims off of?
4. Used Ahsoka as a child soldier
Killed unarmed enemies
Ordered friendly fire
Slaughtered a village of civil population
Killed unarmed kids
Tried to kill his wife's ex boyfriend on jealousy
Killed all his (now) allies on Mustafar
@@rakusin killing unarmed enemie is allright, you cannot kill a surrenering one
I like how we’ve got people committing mass murder, and then Padme’s casually committing fraud.
And terrorism under the disquise of diplomatic immunity.
anakin is her accomplice, and then youve got obi wan whos doing death sticks on the side to cope with all of anakins bullshit
@@master.gamer2022 While faking surrender and pulling his own horseshit
Star Wars is literally a fictional space fantasy universe filled with completely sentient droids and space wizards. An entirely different universe is going to have some different laws, rules, regulations and moralities. Some of our laws will align while many others won't. We have to remember that instead of shoving our real world politics and laws into these fictional events all the dang time. Not everything is exactly the same over there. What's considered a "war crime" to us, may not be in the Star Wars universe.
To be fair, a good half of these are just Anakin falling to the dark side, that's not so much the Republic as just...his character arc.
The glasses on Ashoka just makes the thumbnail even better
the fact Star Wars takes place before the Geneva convention took place doesn't make this video more entertaining
no to mention, from memory, anakin, ahsoka and Ki-Adi-Mundi had a game on geonosia to see who could get the highest KD.
Totally forgott about that
Sounds like they took that out of Japan's book
@@amon8562 The space samurai did what? Impossibru!!
They were fighting genosians as well not even just droids 😬
So? LOTR has the same thing with Legolas and Gimli
When you remember that Ashoka is 14-16 in Clone wars yet is put into war and given command of forces , Anakin is only 18/ 19 at start and is made a general with command over entire armies, and Obi Wan is a jedi monk who suddenly becomes a commander over the clones.And that the good guys use a entire planets worth of clones who are technically no older then maybe 10 to fight, and made the jedi peacekeepers into war generals.
If the Jedi hadn't taken command of the Clone Army, the command would have been given to people who actually studied how to wage war (unlike Jedi).
Those people also didn't view clones as sentient so the Jedi felt they had to do it
And wouldn't that make Ashoka a child soldier?
Yeah this shit is insane. This is without mentioning all the cuestionable stuff the Jedi order does even in peacetime, like taking babies from their families to make them warrior monks.
@@aguywithalotofopinions412 they ask first .... Some times (then if the family says no they take the baby anyway)
@@madevilgenius7547 no. it depends whether on the life expectancy of her species or by what social standards she would be considered a child/adult in her society. on the other hand we saw jedi younglings like 6 or 7 years old training in the jedi temple in episode 3, so we can assume that she is a child. but we cant know for sure, since my nerdism is obviously not big enough to be familiar with her species life and social structure characteristics.
6:00 OMG I remember the first time I saw that, I was WEEPING for those droids yo 😭🤧😭😭

Never before did I expect a Zanny quote in here. Also hello fellow Zan Clan members.
Due respect to the writers, showing that both sides in a war generally ignore rules of conduct when hostilities begin.
I mean, kind of. Just seems like poor writing to me. Writers not recognizing the illegality and inhumanity of the actions that the "good guys" perform because they think it's a funny and quirky thing to do when writing it.
@@animore8626 It could also be that the message of 'both sides do bad things' was meant for more mature viewers, as kids and adults can enjoy this show.
@@animore8626 nah, cause for the most part, we ignore it because they’re the “good guys”.

Pretty much the Jedi creed for 30,000 years.
Sith: 4 attempts at Jedi genocide, all in retaliation for attempted purges by the Jedi and Republic.
Jedi: 700+ successful purges of non-Jedi religious groups, naturally Darkside species, Force using governments, and more!
Dang that Anakin guy looks like he’s got some serious darkness in him. I wouldn’t trust him if I were them.
Right? I don't think he can even handle children
Pfft, what's the worst he could do. He isn't even a jedi master.
Oh he's a decent person, just ask the younglings!
@@LeumazDnazor I heard he told the other Jedis not to come to the Jedi temple tomorrow. He must be trying to save them from a separatist attack.
A big reason for creating the clone wars series was the lack of development of Anakin in episode 2-3
He basically is good all the time and suddenly turns dark in 5 seconds of screentime
So they tried to fix that with this scenes
The whole “attacking defenceless enemies” does not apply here since they are not alive. It’s just scrapping metal
Well... some of the droids are kind of implied to be sentient or atleast programed to experience suffering
@@KD-ou2npthey're NOT sentient
@zakiutruto theres a range, I mean would you call C-3PO not sentient? Or R2D2? Even the battle droids show some personality. Its not totally black and white but you can make it that way if you prefer not to think I guess.
@@KD-ou2np its a computer, programming/artificial intelligence does not equal sentience no matter what anyone says. Sentience is the ability to experience feelings and sensations. A machine can not feel or experience emotions. It can only appear to do so by replicating the result of a feeling. Hope that clears up my point of view. Also 3PO or R2 having personality is still following a set of programming instructions, the only difference is, it has been acquired by mashine learning where it makes itself new commands to follow. But at the end of the day, they are still commands
@zakiutruto
Every living thing experiences feelings and sensations. In a way you're following a set of programming instructions set by your DNA and your neurons firing in certain patterns. We can't predict them yet but one day we might be able to, or get very close. In that way our brains are like a very very advanced computer system. What makes you special?
I think if they develop distinct personalities over time and express thoughts about things, feelings, and an understanding of their own mortality, that seperates a droid on some level from a mindless machine. If they develop relationships, experience things, have desires, why should they automatically be categorized as less valuable than a human person. They would mourn, and be mourned by people. At some point, the distinction between "person" and "not a person" with these hyper advanced androids becomes blurry, but it also kind of becomes irrelevant. We think its wrong to needlessly kill animals or be cruel to them, even though they aren't fully conscious in the same way we are. If the droids seem indistinguishable from our consciousness in nearly every way, why are they less valuable than organic life?
Omg Anakin’s fake surrender and then the big time rush theme song playing had me laughing
For the flamethrower one, having the song echoing down from Anakin and Ahsoka's perspective is one of the funniest things I have seen
I should known someone would do it eventually
God it's hilarious
@@rhedges9631I mean it is, but only if you’re using it against civilians or in an area with them
No flamethrower use is absolutely a war crime. The only problem I can see with this video is that a lot of these crimes were committed on droids, aka non sentient beings so is it really *inhumane* persay?
It's not well known, but a curious aspect of flamethrower design is that the sound they make is eerily similar to the opening chords of Fortunate Son. Physicists have yet to uncover why this is.
I love that Fortunate Son is just the war crime anthem always, particularly when any sort of incendiary weapon is use.
while it's actually a pacifist song, ironic

@@TheRogueOneYT Na
I just remembered it from when I watched the episode not too long ago. Made a vid about something else in the episode.
It does kind of make you wonder…
What are Star Wars warcrimes?
@@lord_egg Apparently not fake surrenders or torture or killing fleeing/ surrendering/ armless droids.
I never understood why people try to use that argument. Like the Geneva Convention is even the first ever instance of defining illegal acts of war on earth? Of course other advanced societies like the Republic would come up with a list of forbidden war crimes just like they have laws defining regular crimes. And given that our own war crimes are rooted in logic (often because it helps one’s own soldiers being allowed to surrender or receive medical aid, for example), such an advanced society would likely come up with the same laws and even add things on.
It’s like saying, “Well, there’s no [Earth country] constitution in Star Wars, so murder isn’t a crime there!”
@@flamingsickle Aye, but we don't know what was designated as a war crime in said set of war crimes. Granted that's stretching it but it is important to think about considering we don't know. So yes, the geneva convention doesn't exist and we have no knowledge of what war crimes count and which ones don't in the Star Wars Universe.
*Anakin contacts Trump*
Anakin: I discovered that Tatooine have oil!
Trump: On my way with the Space Force! Tatooine needs some freedom!
This is one of the reasons I could never take this extended universe stuff seriously, even before Disney.
Not that there wasn't good writing in it, it just doesn't matter much when so much of the essence of Star Wars is betrayed that I could just be named "Light Saber Swingers".
... wait
Anakin and Padme both committing several war crimes only furthers my opinion that they are absolutely perfect for each other.
And they have always been one of my favorite Star Wars couples next to Obi-Wan X Satine, Kanan X Hera, Galen X Juno, Cal X Merrin, Han x Leia and Luke X Mara.
Most of these relationships end in somebody tragically dying. That reminds me of Revan and Bastille
