Also, is this the most badass/scary type trooper you've ever heard of or what?
Hey uhh not to be rude but can you update your intro so for example you're making an interesting episode and your intro sometimes ruins the excitement
Geetsly's shadow clone troopers. No doubt about it.
Awesome
The senate knew.
Palpatine is the senate.
it takes a lot of money & man pawer to kill one person. but it takes less if it's then 5 people.
"Not even the senate knew about them"
I'm pretty sure THE senate knew about them.
They served "the senate" well
I AM THE SENATE!!!
Itâs treason then...
Ah, there is an important distinction to make between "the senate" and "THE Senate"
Aaaaaaarh!!
Star wars: a very intense game of chest played between palpatine and palpatine
No, it's between Palpatine and the will of the Force.
I love chest.

@@geetslys Too late.
So Rex unknowingly saved a clones life when he didnât rat him out on the farm
For the time being yeah. I think itâs likely his name was already on the hit list, they just hadnt found him yet
I thought going awol was a capital offense in the GAR.
No kidding. Cut Lawquane got REALLY lucky that Rex had a heart.
@@nerysghemor5781 who wouldâve known we would meet him again in the bad batch đ all thanks to Rex
@@nickolasbrau9631 Looks like karma actually came around for Rex in a good way. :-)
Imagine being in a fictional army and being so secretive that most people don't know of your existence....terrifying
That was the idea make sure that ones that know them wonât try to make funny ideas such as kill palpatine
Not terrifying so much as suspicious
Jason Bourne, James Bond,
LIKE ONI.
@@JeanLucCaptain ONI is real. It's a department of the US Navy.
They killed anyone Palpatine wanted? Well being an anti-Palpatine senator sucks
Lol Leia
Not unless you play it cool like bail did
Tell me about it... it's a miracle Padme saved the more important ones in the RotS novelization.
That's similar to how he got elected Supreme Chancellor. He had anyone who could seriously oppose his election killed or otherwise occupied prior to the vote.
As long as you was well liked by the senate (or called Bail Organa) you was pretty safe for the most part

@@geetslys Ha!
Cringe
@T teg Egg idk man they are a easy target for cringelords itâs sad
Dont fuck with quiet kids who like purple and
There were probably hundreds of secret units within the Grand Army of the Republic, and Palpatine made sure that these units were never made public unless under his direction. The Galactic Republicâs Clone Army was massive and no doubt that several of these units werenât allowed to be known even after the war, and no doubt they trained the future Imperial Security Bureau for tactics and strategy.
Hundreds of secret units do not make much sense inside an army.
You may have some special units, and two or three secret sections.
But the main goal of a (big) army is to have an effective tool that follows one streamlined chain of command.
Theyâre definitely canonizing it to some degree with the assassin troopers in The Bad Batch. Identities erased in deep cover, usually sent to kill their targets and will commit suicide to avoid interrogation
Regular Clones: Good soldiers follow orders
Clone Assassins: Amateurs...
Clone Assassins: i eat orders and excrete victory!
@T teg Egg till a few decades ago it was usual even in real life to execute deserters.
@@VaciliNikoMavich my stupid ass : I need exact orders with extreme detail on what my task is .
Clone Assassin Elites: You ever say fuck it and elbow a Jedi to death?
So the tales of the original Clone Wars where super genetically enhanced clone terrorists. What many thought the Clone Wars were before 1990s.
Yeah I honestly thought the "Clone Wars" was the Empire going against a mad doctor's army of clones. Then Attack of the Clones was a thing.
@@lumethecrow attack of the clones wasnt bad
@@fizzy4877 I never said it was
@@lumethecrow yeah its crazy how George looked at boba fett and thought ,what if the clone army were clones of boba fett by Palpatine and share similarity of mandalorian ,its crazy ,
No one back then could've guessed that was the case
sounds like bladerunner
I thought this video was going to be about the original arc troopers but this is even better!
Thanks!
Original ARCs are the Nulls?
@@fortisflamma2243 yes
@@fortisflamma2243 The Original ARCs are the Alpha group. The Null class were mainly test subjects of seeing how powerful they can enhance a PURE Jango clone, their were only a dozen of them.. They were so powerful but they were so independent that the Cloners that made them feared them and wanted them killed after their testing and training. A Mando stepped in and saved them saying he will take them under his wing. The Nulls were one man armies that even jedis can't match their effectiveness in warzones as jedis are not aggressive enough for warzones.. After the war the Mando in charge took them under his wing and trained them as mandos as if they were his sons. The Alpha class is the original ARCs were only numbered just over a hundred but they were just like the nulls but less enhancements and less aggressive. They were also one man armies too and almost just as good, keyword is "almost". They were the last resort when their planet was invaded and pressed into service right after. The ARCs were too few in number so they took in regular clones who show independents and skill into their ARC trooper program for retraining and send out to special missions. Nulls>ARCs(alpha)>ARCs regular/Clone Commandos. --On a side note non-Alpha ARCS were closely equal to Commandos, it's just that Regular Arcs fight on the frontline while Commandos work behind enemy lines in small groups with high tech equipment. Basically Samurai vs Ninjas. or hotdogs vs hamburgers. -
@@vexingrabbit1824 yes the original batch was deemed a failure, lmao
I wonder how many of these clones became imperial royal guards. Considering how skilled and loyal they were. They'd make perfect candidates for that role.
Hmm probably the first few years of the empire but they probably aged out in 5 -10 years and were replaced with other elite guards
@@brysonstiles6737 pretty sure they never were given the opportunity to join itâs a program only certain people can enter and you have to basically always make a spot for yourself and clones consider each other as brothers so they wouldnât do that just to be a royal guard
@@leopardtree2249 if you had a branch dedicated to hunting down your brothers to begin with Iâm certain thereâs at least 1or 2 clones that became royal guards Palpatine only really cares about results look at Thrawn it was very rare to have non human Grand Admirals in the Empire but he made it
@@leopardtree2249 I know im beyond late but I'm quite certain there was at least one clone royal guard but I don't think they were one of the assassins
@@mattychew8752 ion think so bc palpatine didnât trust them. He did not trust the clones and the droids and used them to eventually start the military starting with sign ups and recruits than clones. Imagine one of he other codes were entered instead.
Rex saved Cut Lawquane by not reporting his desertion. Good on you Rex.
Well, Rex has always been a bit different. And if not for the chip in his head, would NEVER have attacked Ahsoka (which would also go for the others, but Ahsoka simple was not in a position to save them).

These guys were a pain to deal with in the ROTS game.
trust me, they may ''resist'' mind tricks, but they lose hp if you crash their minds enough
Man, I really need to replay that game sometime...
I thought you said âbaconâ...đ€đ
I just replayed this game. The assassin's are some of my favorite enemies to fight
I think one of the ways to deal with assassins in the game was to swing at one of them, and then suddenly 180 degree stab the guy trying to sneak up on you? Personally I liked the clone equivalent of super battle droids Ive forgotten the name of
Clones specifically meant for killing Jedi nothing sus there
No one knew about them so it didn't matter
Who cares, these troopers were well needed in case superbeings like the Jedi go rogue.
Isn't it a wonder why CADMUS existed in the DCAU? I really wouldn't be surprised if someone actually created a Multiversal task force created to "sanitize" rogue magical forces for crud's sakes.
There were Jedi that went Rogue and served as Dooku's Dark Acolytes, taking them out was their original purpose.
@@pepperedash4424 Exactly one useful reason why they exist.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Along with defeating the CIS, the sole purpose of the clones was to eradicate the Jedi, having clones specifically trained to fight Jedi would be another useful reason as to why they exist.
Imagine that you and your homie are in the Jedi temple for the mission and he gets sent down the hallway to kill the padwan but you get sent to kill Yoda.
if clone asssasin could be killed by a Commando they wouldn't have a chance against a null Arc
Nulls are one man armies. As if an clone assassin can kill them. Too bad their were only a dozen of Nulls.
I think your underestimating Darman there bud.
@@vexingrabbit1824 pretty sure that there only 6 which were successful as the other 6 didnât successfully grow and died.
Also Alphas too
He was not an ordinary Commando by any means, this was someone on the level of Boss and Delta Squad.
âThey wore phase 1 armorâ
*shows clone in phase 2 armor*
To be honest I've never even seen a clone assassin wearing phase 1 armour.
I think Geetsly misspoke BARC armor as Phase 1 armor
I hope that the type of clone trooper we saw in the Bad Batch trailer (those with that grey-purple-ish armor and green visor) are actually Covert Ops troopers. That would be so cool
Yes!
Good morning help me find someone to marry
@@carlsperduto5181 your in the wrong place buddy
@@carlsperduto5181 get out of here this is star wars not marriage
If those were covert ops troopers bad batch would be dead since they are commandos,nul arcs and shadow troopers rolled into one type of trooper.
If I wanted a "clone assassin" to kill Jedi I would have them geared up like Mandalorians. Instead of fighting Jedi with blades in close quarter combat, these Mandalorians geared clones would use slugs, shotguns weaponry, jet pack for movement, flamethrower(if jedi get's too clone), and lightsaber resistance armor with explosives for AOE
Teras Kasi was basicaly invented to fuck up jedi as it made a non force user bascialy able to match a normal jedis martial prowes and came with the added bonus that the jedi were not eble to influnce the mind of the user thus robbing them one of their foresight components and for someone that is used to fight with a basic knowledge what his opponent thinks about doing next that would seriously throw them off.
Also getting lightsaber resitant gear while posible is not something super easy. Bescar for example would get you into hot water with the mandalorians because you also would need to get one of their metalsmiths as basicaly no one else knew how to reliable smelt the stuff into funktioning armor (normal mandalorian iron was still good but not bescar quality) and Cortosis was also ultra rare and commonly not as good armorwise as Bescar. All in all getting enought Lightsaber resitant material to deck more then a few Clone Assasins out with Lightsaber resitant gear would make a notable blimp on the Radar of the Jedi Council or one of their friends
@@Blutwind Slug throwers would still be a good idea, since they cant be blocked by lightsaber. Well, unless you count getting hit with molted metal shrapnels as blocked.
I think their armor is lightsaber resistant, if the game is anything to go by. They at least have energy shields, like the Commando armor.
I mean let's be honest here... are we really surprised these types of clones exist.
No
Excited for the Bad Batch!
"It's just in case the Jedi fall, I swear! Would I ever lie to you?" Sheev "the Senate" Palpatine.
I knew of them from the Republic Commando books (True Colors to be precise).
Super-militaries have these "blacker-than-black" ops all the time, despite their sayings to the contrary.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Multiversal defense force that is sending these ops groups to successfully keep an eye out on, I don't know, anomalous places like Gravity Falls, Twin Peaks, and Maine from the Lovecraft and Stephen King storylines.
Imagine if the entire army was like this just to see how bad a Star Wars timeline could get.
*Darman did not like this*
We might get a 40k Faction from that
@@ssjjshawn imagine the implications of that, considering how many people would instantly become Xenos
Not wholesome for selling toys that's for sure!
@@geetslys Ah well at least all the rebel scum and villainy would be dead.
âThose shadow troopers... whenever they showed up, all the grunts would shake in their boots. They werenât in any of the ledgers, and I know that there are a ton of secret units, I was in one.

@@robinkendall4454 Yes, itâs like a writing exercise, but people find it entertaining

Anybody else want a Block Ops-esque game set during the clone wars where you play as one of these badasses?
"Black-Ops".
A game is too generic, why not an animated miniseries?
@@michaelandreipalon359 oh right, I meant Black Ops. Typo lol

I would PAY to get a Star Wars game where you are a deserting clone on the run, and having to be constantly hunted by your own brothers, brothers that won't hesitate to kill you on site. Kinda sounds like a horror game in a way...
These guys were so annoying in Revenge of the Sith video game, Obi-Wan had struggles đ
Can't believe those agile Muggle bugger clones can actually give an expert Jedi a run for their money.
About time someone covered the clone Assassins from the Revenge of the Sith game. Wish they would be brought into the Battlefront series
This makes me more interested to see what those Death Trooper style Clones are all about in the new Bad Batch trailer. Can't wait to get more Clone lore
My guess is that the dark grey spec ops looking clones might be the Canon ver of the Covert ops clone troopers from legends.
@@leolied6766 That's what I was thinking too! We'll have to wait and see
So far they act kinda like the death troopers, not to mention they even have thier flame units so theyre probrably also tasked with razing towns
how exactly do you do espionage as a clone, when everyone in the speratist part of the galaxy knows your face
I have a feeling we'll see these guys in the bad batch show
Bad Batch vs Baddest Batch? Worst Batch? đđđ
"Super Terrible Batch"?
Other than these funny names, I hope the show/miniseries will be pretty much worth our Disney Plus money.
Was Master Stass Allie murdered by one of these breeds of clones during Order 66? The helmets they wear resemble the ones in this video, but I always assumed it was because they were on speeders.
I donât believe so. They were a part of the 91st Recon Corps, whoâs helmets look very similar. Iâm pretty sure they were just normal clones and not one of these assassins
Commander Neyo was one of those speeder bike clones.
Is it me or can you see trooperâs that look awfully similar to the covert operations troopers in the bad batch trailer?đ€šđ€šđ€đ€
Yeah albeit a different color scheme but serve the same purpose.
*gulps in sudden hesitance*
Cody will be the covert ops commander, since in TFU2 Cody got stationed on Kamino on the cloning facilities and training Stormtroopers, and theyâve pulled stuff from books and legends, so thatâs a definite possibility
Itâs not looking good Cult lacain.
So clone assassins were pretty much CIA operatives
It's always fun to hear someone (not from finland) trying to pronounce finnish. In this case the martial art "terÀs kÀsi" which translates to "steel hand" or "hand of steel". Take your pick.
This takes me back, I remember fighting against these clones in the revenge of the sith ps2 game and they were so annoying to deal with
I've been thinking ever since the Bad Batch trailer dropped that the covert-ops troops in that trailer took inspiration from the covert-ops troopers we see in the Republic Commando novels. I'm wondering if they'll be highlighted at any point in terms of their backgrounds, or if we'll get to see other pieces from the Republic Commando novels, like members of Cuy'val Dar or other commando units. It's really exciting!
This makes me think of that clones wars episode where Rex found a Deserter clone whoâd started a family with a Tâwilek. Even if Rex said he wouldnât report the guy sad to think these guys may have found him.
They never did.
Cut was considered dead by the Republic, no one knew he had survived the incident with his transport. And Bad Batch confirmed he's doing fine judging by these comments.
Null ARCs: exist
Shout out the Null batch
I remember the old battlefront 2 super ultimate mod pack included custom models for clone assassins and I thought for the longest time that they and the covert ops troopers were just fan made. They were fun custom classes to play as the assassins weâre definitely op.
I actually played Episode III as a kid and the clone assasins were my favorite ones to fight. They're hard-core for sure!
Iâm not sure if this is cannon or legends, but I would love to see these versions of storm troopers play a role in the upcoming Bad Batch series.
Clone Commando.. favorite armor , gear and training .... The best Clone division in my Mind ,
I prefer ARCs myself but Clone Commandos are awesome.
@@simpleclonetrooper2740 arcs are pretty cool but I think the facts that clone commanders had unique armor makes them a cooler design in my opinion
@@afkninjachickenwithfries4102 that armor is pretty dope almost like a spartan from Halo
Commandos wont survive a open battle field though their spec opts for infultration, in a open battle field youll want arc troopers who are pretty much 1 man armies, take the 1st battle of geonosis for example as commandos had a over 80% causualty rate, so not best but very good for what they are intended for which is if you played the games youd would know it is sabotage, stealing data and other more steathly operations
Also number and military terminology wise they not a division, however ngl i can totally see how would people make that mistake, but the commandoes were part of the spec ops brigade
In retrospect, they should have had a few Clone Assassins accompany Vader to Mustafa to watch his back⊠and cover _the high ground._
Or 501st Clones with them

I started your videos about a week ago, constantly blown away by your knowledge and this video is no different, amazing thing I did not know and have so much appreciation for, thankyou for your vidoes đ
Cut Lawquane was lucky that it was Rex who found him. Imagine the carnage that would have happened if he was reported.
The covert ops troopers looks like something you would get from a twitch prime reward.
Dude I really enjoy your voice, it's so soothing.
After watching the recent bad batch arc, this video is very revealing....
Itâs true, if most of the audience doesnât know, then there is pretty much no way in cannon universe knows.
Lego needs to make the Clone Assassins now.
Great videos man!
6:14 Isn't actually true, in the Clone Commando Books "True Colors" Darman found out that the two Covert Ops troops were trained by Nulls Jaing and Prudii, not by Kal Skirata himself, and Darman didn't know them personally.
Not even the Senate was aware of the clones that answered to Palpatine alone?
I feel like we're missing something here
I actually knew about both types, having read all of Karen Traviss's clone novels and playing Episode 3 on original Xbox. Very nice vud
Sera Keto forever
Damn, that's horrifying. Clone Force 99, step aside for the REAL professionals...
I hope they bring back the Covert Ops troopers in the future. Maybe in the Bad Batch series.
I am hoping to see them again in the Bad Batch.
Just wanted to say Iâve been watching for a long time and I love your content man!
We appreciate that! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
I love the clone wars content man!! The clone wars is my favorite era of Star Wars.
Great channel! Good to see some love for Karen Traviss' phenomenal Mandalorian lore
They would be perfect villains for the Bad Batch show in season 2
Very interesting. No one knew about The Emperor's Hand either...
I had read alittle about them before, this really shed some light on these psychos.
Ohhh, Darman and Kal-buir. I loved reading the books.
I thought this was about the new clones in the Bad Batch trailer. Also, sounds like that new Republic Commando short film from Cinematic Captures
So if these clones knew using blasters where futile why not use slug throwers or projectile weapons instead like machine guns etc
If I wanted a "clone assassin" to kill Jedi I would have them geared up like Mandalorians. Instead of fighting Jedi with blades in close quarter combat, these Mandalorians geared clones would use slugs, shotguns weaponry, jet pack for movement, flamethrower(if jedi get's too clone), and lightsaber resistance armor with explosives for AOE.
Most slugthrowers in star wars despite being relatively primitive are actually pretty crude and not as reliable compared to blasters or our own guns. Some were but they weren't too common.
You know, we should really heed HK-47's advice back in KotOR II. Just don't prepare against the Jedi, you're better off winging it.
Think they trained the purge troopers in Fallen Order?
"MORE! Give me more!" - creepy purge troopers
5:50
"So you see, I'm a clone commando."
5:49 here we can see the badassery of the clone commandos, where he just nope's an ambush of highly skilled assassins.
These guys remind me of a fan animation I saw of a squad of commandos being told to "save" a senator, and that any clones were droids. So they blasted through a bunch of "droids" and got to the senator. Then were ordered to silence the senator and were told that it is to be a CIS attack. Such a good animation!
yooooo geetsly's hit 400k subscribers, keep up the work
I had never heard of such clones. It shakes me to the core to think of how cruel they apparently were!! đ”đ”đ”
Wow! I did not know about these clone assassins until I watched this video
So clone commandoes who are already pretty much off the books (meaning most of their ops are blacklisted along with them) didnât even know about them ?!?!
I remember one of the unlockable mission on the revenge of the sith video game, where you play as yoda, and you mop the floor with quite a few of these guys. It was honestly comical, but what do you expect lol.
You just helped me out with a fan fic. Yay.
Always thought it would be interesting to have a show centered around an elite clone assassin, from his time training on Kamino and during the age of the Empire.
It would be cool to have a darker Star Wars show around a character who isnât morally good. Yet, the factors in childhood that led to this would be explores. His brutal role in Order 66, perhaps in the Temple, would also be interesting to see.
I think a good plot would have him go rogue after his chip malfunctions or loses its efficacy and have him learn the truth behind 66. He would then go on a mission of revenge against the empire, not out of moral concerns, but out of anger of learning his freedom was taken away. Parallels could be drawn between the clones lack of freedom, between being bred as basically war slaves by the republic to losing their freedom of thought under the empire. His quest would be one of pursuit of freedom and revenge on those who took it from him, and he would not be limited by the morals of normal protagonists. This period should also see some moral development, but the mistake of making him a âgood guyâ like Boba Fett should be avoided.
Just imagine how badass a rogue ex-clone assassin on a mission of revenge would be.
I still remember how badass they were in revenge of the sith wish we could've used em in that game like the Magna guards.
I like the way their armor is designed.
The clone assassins remind me a lot of MTF Alpha-1 from SCP lore
Imagine being so secritive that most real people dont know you exist
The timing of this is uncanny because of the newly shown variant of trooper in The Bad Batch possibly being Covert Ops! As always, fantastic post!
Always gotta hitt that sweet 10 minute mark, but compared to many other channels your content is atleast entertaining, thanks for the vid mate
I would very much like to see Cut go up against a few covert ops troopers or Rex in the Bad Batch, could be a interesting storyline and it would be sick to see them on screen.
_Thank You, HK-47._
Ah finally, the Assassin Troopers
4:01 Well that's fratricide damn
It would be nice to see them make a appearance in the bad batch
clone troopers are so cool
Facts
"We got yer back 3-8!"
Covert Ops Troopers probably were sent after Rex and Delta Squad once they left the GAR after the war. It would be cool if we got a Rex/ Bourne style Series. Rex vs the Treadstone Troopers.
Iâve never wanted a black series figure more than the assassin trooper
