*Fun fact:* Six decades after the Battle of Geonosis, Boba and his granddaughter Mirta Gev returned to the Battle Arena in order to retrieve Jango's remains in order to give him a propier burial in Mandalore, next to Boba's daughter, Aylin Vel
That makes... Very little sense.
@@DIEGhostfish Why? If your problem is that they took so long, let me tell you Boba was dying of a genetic disease and had to retrieve Jango's body in order to find a cure and also to give him a proper burial
@@OptimusMaximusNero Yeah but to the arena, and not whatever mass grave they dumped him into. (Or the Kaminoans having the Republic reclaim his corpse)
Thanks for informing me. Boba must have been pretty weak by then, after falling into the sarlacc.
@@iammrbadguy9706 No, this is like 30, 40 years after the Sarlaac.
From a simple execution to a rescue mission that resulted in hell breaking loose to an all-out war. The Battle of Geonosis truly was a explosive start to a epic bloody war.
Indeed, in fact, I think this was one of the battles that showed how bad the jedi was prepared... of the 200 that got deployed, only 30 survived... not to talk they attacked the CIS army on plain terrain directly... for the clones, who would be excited to go to war, must have been a crush, seeing how your brothers, those same clones that you grew up with died there, because the lack of an effective command... at least, I think the jedi was not prepared for be generals
Sadly, we never will see the epic part of it. Neither movie maker NOR anime studio would do or is up for the task at all. This would mean a 18+ game where we ACTUALY SEE the horrors of war in SW and fight lenghty campaigns on multiple worlds. A new EAW could do it, yet only with heavy modding after its release.
@@SecohdYue this is why it order 66 not being done through mindcontrol chips was so much better.
@@christianresel8051 I'm glad there's someone else who knows the pain. A movie, show, or even game fully exploring the true scale of the war would be a dream come true.
What I find interesting about the First Battle of Geonosis is that, despite being considered a Republic Victory, neither side was truly victorious. While the CIS fled and the Republic "won" the battle, the Republic failed to complete the main goal of stopping the CIS before they became a threat.
In the words of Master Yoda:
"Victory? No Obi-Wan, not Victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the Clone Wars has."
Yoda was speaking facts.
Geonosis and Coruscant were the 2 main Pyrrhic victories of the republic. Both sealed the fate of the Jedi and the republic

My first day as a member of the 501st... it was hot, it was sandy, chaotic. Nothing at all like the simulations on Kamino. Of course that's pretty much the way it was for all of us, wasn't it? All that breeding, all those years of training... doesn't really prepare you for all the screaming or the blood, does it? Frankly, I'm still amazed we ever made it through the first hour, never mind the first day."
501st journal.
Incredibly, the 501st survived the crucible of Geonosis, emerging battle-hardened, and ready for whatever the war would throw at us.
501st Journal
Not sure why that battle would be anyone's first day of any unit, since they were all raised and trained together, so units, including the 501st, should have already existed.
@@andymiller6661 I believe that he was referring to his âfirst day as a member of the 501stâ as his (and by extension his brothers) first day in the Clone Wars fighting the (First) Battle of Geonosis. So yeah, it does make sense, seeing as theyâre no longer in simulations, this is the real deal, their first official taste in war.
@@tweso1499 That still doesn't make sense. No one says that. No one has ever said, "Man, such a heady day. My first day as part of the 82nd Airborne Division and I'm dropping into Normandy."
@@andymiller6661 how does it NOT make sense? And whoâs to say that nobody says âfirst day in X and weâre fighting Yâ? Iâm sure more than a few soldiers has said something along those lines.
And again this is made in a Journal about the 501st legion during the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. Theyâre talking about battles, NOT everyday life like in daily lives on Kamino.
Some pretty underrated fact about this battle is that this was the event in which Grievous (while hiding in the Geonosian Catacombs) killed a Jedi and took their lightsaber by first time. It would have been great watching this moment in Episode II as a character introduction for the Clone Wars 2D show and Revenge of the Sith.
Makes me think of Big Chap's first appearance in Alien.
A giant Cyborg with a sweet cape comes other nowhere, snaps a neck, takes a trophy, and goes home while laughing to himself.
Yep. Dooku explicitly gave him orders to kill anyone he ran into contact with too so as to remain secret from the Jedi until he was revealed at Hypori.
I was aware Grievous was at Geonosis as clone commandos fought him during the battle, but I was unaware of his first Jedi kill. Thanks for sharing.
Grievous is perhaps my favorite character in all of Star Wars. Am i concerned what that says about me as a person? Ya, a little! :)
Merry Christmas fellas!
Don't forget that Dooku was already low-key trolling the Separatist Council. He was heavily involved in the arranging and commissioning of the Clone Army; but he acted as surprised as anyone else, simply blaming it on the Jedi and vowing vengeance. Reality: everything was going to the plan of the Sith. The events of the Petranaki arena battle were entirely premeditated by Dooku - he knew the Jedi would Leeroy Jenkins themselves.
The First Battle of the Clone Wars a messy day, and no doubt that the Republic Grand Army would have been crushed by the Droid Army, but without the other events that happen in this Battle perhaps the entire Clone would have been wipe out. Several Commandos squads and the space battle was also vital for the survival of the Grand Army of the Republic, but even with several minor victories in the planet the Confederacyâs Droid Army was able withdrawal with major amount of resources.
Seems the battlefront 501st journal of (paraphrasing) âitâs a miracle we made it through the first hour let alone the battleâ was well placed âŠ
Regrettable the EUâs messiness is in play here
I think the CIS just wanted to play safe there, they lost some resources but droids and ships for them mean nothing, but their leaders are the key piece.
After watch the clones landing, not knowing if they will have reinforcements and stuff, I would have picked up retreat too
Some have criticized the Republicâs infantry tactics at Geonosis, but if you look at the movie youâll see that few clones get hit by actual blaster bolts. Keep in mind that their weapons have greater range and better aim than most of the battle droids, hence why the clones are standing relatively still and picking their targets while the droids are constantly running forward to get their targets within closer range. I imagine the clone armor is also more effective against bolts fired from greater distances.
Phase 1 clone armor could definitely take a few hits compared to the phase 2 armor but it was also super heavy and uncomfortable, probably another reason why they were standing still like you said
Well, perhaps because the scenes in the movie show us moments in where barely bolts from the droids hit their targets. In general, and not just including what one can see in AOTC, it was a bloodbath, specially for commandos, who weren't specially trained to fight in the frontlines.
@@condeaarondarkusexcubitor3155 While the clone losses might have seemed like a bloodbath to the troopers (I assume youâre referring to the Geonosis chapters in the novel Republic Commando: Hard Contact), really casualties of that size are to be expected in pitched battles of that size. In Napoleonic and American Civil War battles it was common to have casualties in the thousands and even tens of thousands. Itâs the inevitable outcome of such large numbers of soldiers engaging in quick and decisive combat rather than scattered and drawn out campaigns.
@@elihutchinson007 any time you have a battle of attrition, advanced tactics and technology can be negated through sheer numbers of opponents. It typically comes down to simply who brought more ammo/troops to the line
I wouldn't look to episode 2 for actual tactics. The clones were all cgi, they didn't even make any prop armor.
Last scenes were filmed in 2000. Basically technology was just barely there for making them look how they did. They can show the droids running but when you try the same with a person it would have had a very noticeable uncanny valley effect.
Say what you will about Attack of the Clones, you canât deny that it had one hell of a third act.
Just the third act is better than most of the movies imo. Itâs not a great movie but the third act made it better than 7-9 and 1 imo
"... sensing that SITH was about to go down"
That is genius.
đ yea it was
We really should have seen more of the first battle of geonosis
Yeah, It would have been great to see more of it.

Not sure why the battle of Geonosis would be someone's first say of being in a unit. They trained together and should have already been part of units.
Fun fact. In the original Legends the Republic just took another rival hive that hated Poggle and put them in charge. Totally not an allegory for how the US or the British before them worked in other deserts.
Just like the arc in the clone wars where they supply rebels with weapons to overthrow a corrupt government that didnât support the republic. TOTALLY not a allegory.
Guys, this isn't LoTR. It's not like George, Filoni, Lucasfilm etc ever deny allegory. George always stated his OT took inspiration from WW1, WW2, Vietnam etc.
Not a surprise or anything.
That's what all powers have done back to the earliest small empires. It's normal foreign policy for human governments.
@@histguy101 Divide and conquer indeed.
Very cool to see mention of Sev'Rance Tann. Damn shame she doesn't appear outside of Galactic Battlegrounds Clone Campaigns.
is that by any chance because she was one of the Chiss characters that began to appear everywhere after Thrawn made the species popular, even though they were supposed to be reclusive and no one knew what species Thrawn belonged to when he first appeared?
@@DraconimLt You're not wrong lmao in fact there wasn't really anything that even made her different from Thrawn except that she was a dark side adept and trained by Dooku (similar to Ventress), but had no backstory except for "brilliant general". Still...I liked her yellow lightsaber.
Personally, I believe in the popular theory that Dooku threw this battle in order to ensure that the clone wars would happen.
Facts
"There are too many"?
He had at least 1,000,000 droid units ready, maybe in storage, but he also had full factories
It's quite ironic that in the old republic, Revan and Malak entered Mandalorian Wars against the counsel's wishes, but about more than 3,000 years later the counsel went full-on into the Clone Wars of which would also be met with grave consequences.
The battle is pure awesomeness. It was the greatest, most epic thing I ever saw in a movie (until ROTS). The prequels get much too little praise for its action.
@Abraham 2
Youâre right on the nose.
One thing I always wonder: the Kaminoans created the clones, but where did all the capital ships, tanks, mechas, etc came from? Who build those?
Rothana Heavy Engineering, a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards.
You sure that's the right name? Rothana?
In Legends the Kaminoans were furnished with contacts from Blastech KDY with their subsidiary Rothana Heavy Engineering all these contracts were furnished by Darth Plagueis acting in his alter ego of reclusive Muun financier Hego Damask head of Damask Holdings
@@carsoncasmirri3874 I get why no one noticed the clone army being created in kamino since it was off grid, but did not one question who was ordering a giant capital ship fleet and ground equipment to support millions?
@@aoe4_kachow it is kinda hard since Kamino as a planet is very far away from the galactic core making it very easy to hide a fleet.
On top of that the planet was deleted out of the jedi archieves thanks to Sifo-dyas.
It was also not known that Damask was a Sith-Lord. While there was one jedi who was very close to discovering the truth about Hego Damask, pretty much noone knew of his activities in the underworld and his multiple experiments in alliance with the kaminoans.
The one ally who knew Damask best, was a Sith himself and everyone else was either too well-paid or had similar interests or just didnt have any insights into the grander scheme.
The invasion was as illegitimate as Naboo's invasion.
No it was legal
Didn't you watch the movies? Lord Sidious made it legal. so it was legal
Oh but it was legitimate, the Senate agreed!
This started as a legitimate rescue operation and the entire invasion is technically a rescue operation.
@@PaperiLiidokki âI will make it legal.â
The senate should have asked themselves "how was this army readily available before the signing of the act?" I guess only few did and their voices were drawn out.
Have you done a video on the history of Chiss appearing in Star Wars? I'm sure it's just me but they seem like a pretty mysterious race. They appear once and a while in the timeline, have their own pocket of space in the Unknown Regions and seem to be imperials in their own way?
W
Fun fact that might not be fully canon anymore: Sev from Delta squad made a vow to kill 4982 geonosian. One for each clone commando who fell on Geonosis. The clone commando numbers were almost halved because of the Jedi's lack of skill in leadership and strategy. They deployed the commandos into infantry roles without proper support and tough as the commandos are, they were not meant to preform well on a large scale frontline.
If anybody thinks that they could take down a single super battle droid, play republic commando itâs insane.
thats what the grenade rounds are for but i understand what you mean those fuckers were ridiculous. I just wish they had done the droidikas the same justice.
The sniper attachment makes them easy work.
So does picking individual targets with your squad.
I still remember how excited I was to be in theatres back in the day and witnessing good guy stormtroopers come to the rescue đ
I felt the same as a kid watching the clones save Obi wan from Janjos attack on Kamino. At the time I wasnât fully aware of the plot of how the clones and republic turned to empire, but I knew about the lore. So as a kid I was a little perplexed but happy
âI bring good news my lord⊠the war has beganâ -Count Dooku
I would like too know the full timeline for Felucia as it was one of the longest campaigns in the Clone Wars where neither side had a firm grip on the system.
Not sure when that campaign started but it was still going on when the war ended. If the Clone Wars lasted 4 years, I would guess 3 years for Felucia.
@@asteropax6469 Where'd you get 3 years from?
Thank you so much for another awesome video and I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
I kinda wish that they would make a Movie about General Grievous from his point of view, he's the Protagonist and it goes through his homeworld life up to the point where he becomes the Cyborg we know and it ends the movie right before the 1st battle of Geonosis.
Indeed! Grievous is one of the best characters in all of Star Wars. He was awesome in the movies, but really dummied down in the animated series. But in his full story, you get to understand how he had plenty of excellent reason to hate the Republic, and specifically the Jedi Council, even before he allied with Count Dooku, and became a cyborg. His is such an incredibly tragic life, and deserves a proper telling :)
na why do grevious when they can do dooku or sidious both are better characters
Hell no heâs a kid cartoon villain.
You forgot to mention luminara and mace together lowered the defences in tx tanks before moving onto the arena
Iâd love to have an in depth look at the battle of Coruscant.
Wow the clone navy seemed a little out gunned/Numbered here if it werenât for how overall powerful Acclamators are theyâd been screwed
Aclamators don't nearly get enough credit for their versatility and toughness
@@thecommissarshatisonfirege4193 the republic navy in general doesn't get enough credit given good commanders with properly balanced fleets the there's no enemy the republic navy can't beat. The changes the empire made to the navy were major steps backward there is no way the empire could win a naval war because it's navy was too focused on putting fear in civilians than being able to fight battles.
@@Venator631 let's not forget however, that the rotten structure of the imperial navy started to show in the republic navy, too. It's best commanders were usually the captains, who knew their ships and crews, such as Panelleon (i really can't remember how his name is written). Admirals, we don't know too many. Yularen wasn't the best naval commander, he had many qualities tho that made him stand out well, like his patience and talent for intelligence. The other higher Admiral, I can think of is Tarkin. Tarkin is an interesting mix of a reasonable capable commander and an ideologist. And of course, both Yularen and Tarkin came from a naval lineage
@@thecommissarshatisonfirege4193 That is true also it doesn't help that old palpy boy was playing both the cis and Republic like puppets.
Anakin lost his arm on that planet because the sand weakened his senses
He lost his arm because Dooku was the superior duelist! :)

I liked that Geetsly has referenced all Star Wars games that took part in the Battle of Geonosis.
My most favorite one was with Echuu Shen Jon and Sev'rance Tann from Galactic Battlegrounds Clone Campaigns :)
Thx for explaining and expanding our knowledge
Man! All the stuff your talking about is SO COOL! I wish they would have focused more on the battle in the movie OR dedicated like 3-4 episodes to it n the Clone Wars series! Can you imagine if The Clone Wars opened up with a 4 episode arch of all this stuff your talking about?!?!? It would have been AMAZING!
That was a glorious battle.
Itâd be nice if this episode had an animated map & more. I also feel certain key points were technically downplayed; who won? How? & Why? The breakdown of a Tactical victory vs an overwhelming victory (i.e. the 1st Battle of Geonosis being another Battle of Hoth)âŠ
The Republic won the battle of Geonosis, mostly shooting down their coreships and disabling droid factories underground
Anyone notice that in Episode 2 Attack of the Clones the Republic has no fighters defending the LAAT from Geonosian fighters. When TCW did the Second Battle of Geonosian the Republic again had no fighter support only Y-Wings while Geonosian fighters destroyed countless LAAT. What the heck
This Battle should have sent Red Flags up for every even mildly talented Military Man. If the CIS wasnât so focused on retreating they could have easily crushed the Republic with how many Forced they had at the Battle. But of course that would have ended the War and that wasnât in Palpatines interest. But for everyone not in the Know about it this Battle would make absolutely Zero Sense.
It also wasn't, exactly, a retreat there.
A chunk of the goal was to pull in the Republic troops...there were the HEX weapons that were set up to be used, but Adi Gallia and Nym arrived with a pretty large strike group and took out the weapons before the could have been used there. If those had been deployed, the Clone Wars would have had very little in the way of clones in them and everyone still on Geonosis that was organic would have been dead.
@@AzraelThanatos "If those had been deployed, the Clone Wars would have had very little in the way of clones in them."
....What? No. The Hex weapons may have won the CIS Geonosis, perhaps, but even putting aside it isnt a war winner, the CIS winning there would have hardly resulted in anything even vaguely close to depleting the clones that badly
Well, no, they couldn't. The CIS may have had far more forces at the battle strictly on paper, but thats also asisnely simpleminded. The CIS were caught completely and totally off guard and out of position by the Republic, and they also, MUCH more importantly, lacked orbital supremacy. The Republic won fair and square.
@@papapalps2415 20 Acclamators is hardly something the CIS Forces present couldnât have overcome. And altough the Seps were cought off guard the Jedi werenât competent Commanders by any Defenition. They took heavy Casualties during the Battle and while itâs true that the Seps did too they didnât deploy more than a Fraction of their Troops and many Casualties they took were caused by the Republic destroying Transports wich werenât exactly fighting back. I still feel that if the CIS were determined to fight they had a high Chance of Sucess and apart from the Sith Grand Plan there really wasnât any reason not to Stand and Fight or at least attempt to. Even if they lost the Seps can replenish losses far more easily then the Republic.
@@papapalps2415 The major issue with Geonosis is that every available clone was sent there. The only ones available for combat would be the naval ones and some of the pilots...the rest would be dead and the Republic, essentially, just started a war and lost their entire army.
Every organic asset on Geonosis that isn't completely sealed up is, at that moment, dead in a horrifying way...one that would be bound to leave a nasty wound in the force on par with Malichor V where a lot of remaining Jedi would be caught in the middle, and those fuck with the sanity of non-force users as well which would make the disaster even worse there.
Any assets on the ground of Geonosis would be in CIS hands with their droids, the Jedi would have lost everyone sent in, and the Confederate forces would have a LOT of time with zero opposition, especially since that would lead straight into the Dark Reaper crisis and Tann running amok elsewhere with even more forces to utilize.
I'm pretty sure that the Toth and the HEX weapons were not part of Palpatine's plans there...
My man Echuu.
The new star wars fans are the next generation of shines.
It would be cool to see a video / series covering all the jedi and higher ranked clones that died during the Clone wars and explaining how and why it jad happened, the Clone wars era has such beautiful depth and I'd love to learn even more about it!
In any case, great video as always, thanks!

Also: 4:10-4:29 and 4:49-5:16: Oh wow. And I thought I was a stickler for exact numbers in battles I write. LOL.
So many Jedi died on that planet. What were they thinking charging head on?
A fatal blow to the throat of the snake. However, they'd only hit the tail.
Arrogance is a downfall for many. Including the Jedi.
Watch those wrist rockets!
i've played "Jedi Starfighter" on PS2 and "The Clone Wars" also on PS2 and it felt very good and nostalgic seeing the events from those two games in this video, as i played them as a child, i thought these were not canon but now i know these are, and again it feels good knowing it
They actually are not canon. But Geetsly's doesn't pay much attention to canon, he generally tries to combine canon and legends into one cohesive story, and when there's discrepancies he will either make them work together or lean towards the legends side.
@@Gyrospire oh alright, to me just about everything is canon because that's how i enjoy it the most, with all those details everywhere
Hey great vid, saw the box artwork for Star Wars legion so that was cool
Great Video!
I was there, I remember. I was with Delta Squad.
Sev Lives!
Very informative, for both casual and veteran fans of the Clone Wars.
For being a dense battle, you really condensed it in one video. I specially loved how you didn't discriminate Canon from Legends and tried to put all of the events in one coherent timeline in an effective manner.
Thank you. Do you think you could do the same with other massive battles?.

Greetslys: âYou actually donât know this much about the clone warsâ
Me whoâs watched all of the movies and all of the tv shows:
âYEARS OF ACADEMY TRAINING WASTED!!!â
My interview on âTopic Timeâ with Harrison Blake Young to promote my 4 books went excellent. Didnât go into full detail with the books because theyâre so extensive, didnât want to give any of the plots away, and I often donât feel comfortable talking about them with other people. I dressed casually to make myself more comfortable and not make myself look like a stuffed up, starch collared ass. Glad I wonât have to be working up to 65 hours or more a week like I have been the past 5 years at both Home Depot and as a machinist at Alpha Grainger. Now I can relax, have more free time, still work at the machine shop, and write more often. Itâs going to be on CZcams & Easton Community Access Television sometime next week. Not sure when.
That moment when you have the newest Geetslys and The Front videos in your recommended right next to each other.
We should dive deeper into the battle of utapau. I would like to find out the true size of kenobi's fleet.
Hey hey, Siri and Toth got mentioned. Loved that game
I really liked the Show, it fell in the break between school and having to do homework
The First Battle of Geonosis solidly displays the level of ineptitude of the Jedi Commanders and the Republic as a whole. The GAR deployed nearly 200,000 clone troops, of which 16,000 would be wounded and 100,000 were killed. 4,982 of 10,000 Commandoes also became casualties. Over 50% casualties in the very first battle of the war, due largely to the incompetence of the commanders and the absolutely criminal deployment of ineffective combat vehicles.
Please make a video about the battle of Felucia!
You should make a in detail analysis of operation nightfall.
10:06
Iâm confused. Who are the dark Jedi and what role did they play in the wars?
I know Umbara was covered in the clone wars show but would love to hear more of the 212th perspective
Mace fighting 3 dark Jedi! That would have been sight to see. Dooku trained them along with Palpatine/Sidious. I don't care what people say, if Windu went in that hanger against Dooku, the Count is killed or captured Windu. It seemed to me, Dooku wanted no part of Windu when they first met in the arena. Dooku had no choice but to fight Yoda and that would have been the same with Windu. To those saying Windu Vaapad wouldn't work towards or with Dooku, out of Yoda own mouth, I sense the darkside in you Dooku along with Dooku shooting lighting at Wndu.
He also mildly entertained by mace showing up like that. He most likely would have most to Dooku that day. Dooku edges him in saber combat.
hi
OK so I guess how Boba escaped and what happened to his fathers ship is about to be revealed on the new series.
I think you missed some details on what happened on the planet after the war, mentioned on the clone wars series
Great video as always I really needed to know much of this information, keep up the great work
This battle is a classic
The preview image really reminded me of the first two Call of Duty game cover arts, particularly the first one. I wonder how a Call of Duty/Medal of Honor style Star Wars game would be like. Most people would probably say it would be a purely first person Jedi Knight experience, just without you possessing Jedi powers or a lightsaber. But I think it would have to have more, especially if it were to be made today. It would be something of a Republic Commando offshoot but with map/scenarios like CoD/MoH and you're not the leader, but the follower.
I would still play it, even if I think the Republic Commando version would still be superior. (I still am waiting for a sequel, even if only a spiritual one)
Do you have sources for the images? Trying to look up some of the characters and clone units I saw during your video.
Probably smart that the droids didn't deploy more. That runs the risk of losing all their built up supplies and units. They were already outnumbering the GAR at that point, and they were probably losing once the battle started rolling. So it was smarter to withdraw and survive to fight another day.
Yoda arrived with the clone army..........Palpatine laughing his ass off
Loved the video! It would be cool if you could do more deep dives into phase 1 battles from the clone wars
I am not most starwars fans
