What makes the Red Guards more intimidating, they don't talk, they go in, kill and stand back at their station, the true human droid
Until Yoda bitch slapped 2 of them.
@@mattt233 yes but it took a force sensitive to do it that's the whole point normy fighters with no force skills find it hard to take them out
@@mattt233those were not royal guards those were Senate guards chosen for their loyalty to palpatine not there skill
@@mattt233 Those are just senate guards dressed at red during the time of the republic because of how damn loyal they are. And yes,they are more easier to beat for a well trained force user,for normies and even some starter jedi,they are not to be underestimated.
@Seth I always thought the Red Guard were the same as the Royal Guard just named differently since Palpatine wasn't Emperor then.
Crimson Empire was such a cool comic run. Even though it is set pretty far out in the Legends timeline, after all of Palps clones have been killed, it still shed a lot of light on just how fierce the Red Guard were
The Red Royal guards are so of my favorite royal guard variants in star wars
I want to see more of the red guards I think they are badass fighters it makes a lot of fighters pale in comparrison
Red Guard, Emperor's Royal Guard, Imperial Senate Sentinels etc Palpatine made awesome Guard Organizations.
We need a story about a royal guard who went rogue.
Never happened, though. Even if it had it would be short. Guard betrays Palpatine. Guard is hunted and killed by the order he served.
I remember reading a canon novel about Vader and Palpatine, and there’s Red Royal Guards in the book that are revealed to be Clones from TCW that were trained and accepted into the Royal Guard
The crimson empire comic is about them
You should check out Carnor Jax. He was an Imperial Sovereign Protector-class Royal Guard. He didn't go "rogue" per se but he'd did make his own play for the Imperial Throne.
The Red Guards have been my faves ever since I did a blind buy of the Crimson Empire comic, Kir Kanos brutalizing a group of Black Storm Troopers was epic. Also if there was a character that should’ve been added in Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kashmir it should’ve been an Imperial Red Guard, they really didn’t need a pallet swap of Boba Fett!
The royal guards have exactly one singular on screen kill in Star Wars and it's Paz Vizla after he fought off a whole squad of mando troopers
thats in a completely different era with completely different equipment and training so they cant really be classified as royal guards
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS
It's unfair!
How can you be on the Council, and not be a Master?
Even though some writers have made them jokes, at moments; getting punked by Vader, or just dying to regular stuff, the Royal Guards have long been one of my favorite things of the Star Wars Empire. It might be an exaggeration, in practice, but the idea to me that the six Guards who disembarked with the Emperor, near the beginning of RotJ, could have taken a those assembled Stormtroopers, adequately protect the Emperor there, and possibly not lose one of their own to the altercation, was awesome to child me, back in the early 90s. When EU gave us the Sovereign Protectors, who were even more bad ass, had some Force powers, and were trusted to guard Palpatine's most sensitive things, instead of just guarding him, when he obviously needed little in the way bodyguards, was even better. It does make me HATE Carnir Jax, since it makes little sense his indoctrination seemed to give just then, but oh well.
I honestly wasn't usually fond of the FUnl variants; I questioned if they'd really be things, except that our character was a bona-fide demigod, and needed something for "little bosses". They're okay, and I continue to feel it makes sense that they are superior to "regular" red Guard, since the Emperor needed to account for where he couldn't be there to use his power, but I sometimes just didn't care.
Any chance you might be willing to cover the Legends successors to the Royal Guard? The Imperial Knights? They are awesome in their own rights (opinion), have lightsabers, and more Force skills, but also have actual personality, struggles, Cortosis gear, and serve an Emperor who isn't quite...Palpatine. It might seem silly, since Legacy is old, outdated, and sort of irrelevant to "current" Star Wars content, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love it, so I thought I'd ask. In a galaxy where no more Jedi are really trained, and the IK are almost the closest thing left, since they have actual limitations, I think it might be some fun edutainment!😊
I just read crimson empire recently so it was cool that you made a video about the red guard
We need to see more of them on screen on in tv shows
3:44 Wave’s sigh
I really hope we get to fight these guys in Jedi Survivor.
We never get what we want in games as star wars fans I wouldn't hold my breath 😂
That would be so sick
I hope it’s a boss fight where you take on a bunch of them
The Royal Guards are so much better then the Inquisition. They have way cooler uniforms and are an actual threat. With the Inquisitors all i keep seeing is team rocket from Pokemon. Of course With that said I simply prefer Legends to Cannon and still believe Legends is the true Cannon.
I'd love to see a Star Wars live action movie adaptions of the book Lords of the Sith by Paul S. Kemp, complete with Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader and Ian McDiarmid as Darth Sidious and two Royal Guards (two good opportunities for the power of the Imperial Royal Guards (Red Guards)! Pretty great story with memorable moments and characters that if done right would be an awesome movie or two!
Imperial Red Guard are very intimidating. Very powerful,capable,tactically advanced. Very intimidating and powerful. I think Shadow Guards are also very impressive. Very. Can you mention more classes? May the Force be with you too:)
Didn't Yoda knock two of them unconscious as though it were nothing?
Those were not even close to what the imperial royal guards in ep 6 were
I am writing an ongoing fantasy book series that features guards that are like the Red Guards in that they are fanatically loyal and highly skilled warriors. However, the armor and weapons they use are medieval and have no advanced technology.
Definitely need more of these guys in live action!!
I agree look at how easy they took down that mandalorian paz vizla they are bad ass they make the mandalorians look weak tbh that's what I thought. I kinda think Gideon was right when he said mandalorians had their time and it's past. Even if they win a few rounds in the end they lose.
@@Anon1370 True, they are definitely becoming extinct.
@@z3r0Co0l84 tbh I don't think they are stronger together it just makes them a bigger target for empire to smash.
@@Anon1370 I agree, this union they have created seems like a last ditch effort to prevent total annihilation, perhaps they were better off scattered across the galaxy
Absolute banger as usual
When I think of which guards is the most powerful it maybe a bit surprising, but I'd say the standard Red Royal Guards probably are the most powerful, not to belittle the Shadow Guards or Saber Guards. I think this because of the simple fact the Reds would have numbers working for them, while a Shadow guard is significantly stronger on a one on one scenario I can't imagine force sensitivity is particularly common among imperials nor is it to the degree one would expect a Shadow to be at, as for the Sabers you just need to look at the cloning methods in legends and canon to determine that the natural degrading of the clone host would eventually lead to subpar clones even if they could use the force. Simply put the Reds have both numbers and a clear consistent amount of skill associated with them.
In my headcanon, the inquisitors where all fallen Jedi and after their failure, Darth Sidious created the Shadow Guard with new Force sensitives to replace them.
The Shadow Guard are my favourite.
It's just too bad that most of this info is Legends continuity. It would have been great to see some of this in movies or the shows. 👲
Those guards are awesome even back in the day guarding Vader and palpatine
The Red Guards are the equivalent of Sith Initiates and Apprentices of Emperor Palpatine’s “Age of One Rule” with Vader being the only true Acolyte in Sidious’ hierarchy, or even possibly a lesser Dark Lord. The Red Guard are essentially Korriban whelps and Initiates, without the connection or knowledge of Sith history. Sidious was making a mindless empire, rendering it toothless against him.
Reading through crimson empire again red guard superior , inquisitors Inferior.
This is exactly why I personally believe mandalorians need to bring in Jedi/sith lessons into their culture because of situations like this. How would Madalorians be able to face to face guards like these with fewer numbers and just their own gadgets and skills? It's not enough. Even learning a little bit or getting training in the ways of the force and dark side would help them defend themselves properly against foes such as these. IF they still exist in canon expect to see the real threats beyond the 3 guards we saw last episode of The Mandalorian.
I was always curious about this
You did a short version of this already!
Lets give our most elite guards...almost no vision through a visor so small you have no peripheral vision whatsoever.
Maybe you'll do the Jedi temple guards one day.
Great video - and I kept meaning to say - I love how you call your videos Holocrons - I think that's cool.
All that training to kill one middle age Mando
Crimson red was such a good comic run
Crimson empire*
Wow. Awesome.
Should make a video on all lightsaber types
Day 101 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon
Lightpike
4 Big GUYS
Police? I think there's an assassin in my house, he's wearing a super inconvenient dress lol
How about a video about the Sun Guard that would be cool.
This is the way
Weakest inquisitor vs the royal gard....
And clone TRAINED FROM BIRTH vs royal gard elet of the stormtroopers trained from adulthood with little training then given the best training but still less then clones......
Exsactly...... doesn't make sense for the gards to be better then clones exspecaly the ark troopers
Kir Kanos was a cool red guard . I remember him in crimson empire
I'm going to enjoy watching this video.
I wonder if a clone was a red guard during the clone wars?
Nobody ever touches on how their masks and armor are pretty much old republic mandalorian style (just more modern/less bulky)
Ahhh yes. More victims for a lightsaber. Some one go get star killer
All of them.
I've been wanting to have the chances of proposing my Star Wars clone series,but focuses more on the clones. I've been going down so many rabbit holes for starwars and now this is just another concept I'm going to weave into my storyline. When I mean *MORE* about the men of the republic army, they're not clones -_-, I mean really more personal than what Star Wars: the clone wars n Bad Batch series gave us.
This is the beauty of Star Wars, we can grow it even more WITH REASONING and real science concepts. I've never seen an episode dealing with a troop being on a planet that has a stronger or weaker gravitational pull, wouldn't y'all love the concept of Gravity Suits like come ooonnnnn, Disney gimme a chance!
Imagine all that and they still miss all their shots.
And yet I still beat
the crap out of them, I rather fight a royal guard then to fight lame Inquisitor. Cool video by the way!!
Man I wish live action did the royal guards justice
They didn't even have their armor in battlefront one smh
A single royal guard turned a losing battle into a one sided slaughter against the imperial remnant
Imagine if we got to see them in action
More of Darth Malgus and Darth Nox🥺
Questions didn’t you make a video about emperor respecting his guards while on ryloth or him allowing them to remove their helmets
I was just watching one of the snoke cloning videos and I was wondering why didn’t palpatine ever try to clone DarthVader either as a more powerful apprentice or as a possible host for his own essence transfer? He had to have had Anakins DNA available
I would guess that cloning him would be impossible since it’s implied he was conceived by the force
I never knew that the Red Guards were so powerful. It's a shame that we don't see them in action in the movies or TV series.
They are on the mandalorian
Yea they JUsT had a bad ass appearance in Mandalorian
@@IronMikeDyson1979 Oh wow. I want to watch the mandolorian, but I don't have Disney+ right now.
NNNNNNOOOOOOO
Was there really enough time to get these individuals training like that? Seems like 15-30 years depending on where you look isn't really long enough to get that type of training program in place?
Post Order 66 I wondered if these were children or the toddlers from the temple
I wonder how canon inquisitors would do against legend inquisitors
For those that do not know, the RED GUARDS appear on MANDALORIAN SEASON 3😊
Still waiting for in live action media depictions of them actually being bad ass instead of props getting thrown around by force users.
Red Guard vs Praetorian Guards how wins?
Idk why they didnt make starkiller canon i thought it was because the rule of 2 but sideous had maul while plagus was alive he just wasnt allowed to be a full sith
i swear, if you make their visors yellow. They would turn McDonalds themed
Crayola
Temple guard like
I’m curious if anyone knows this answer.
With all of this lore we have these days what is decided canon and not canon from comics to books , shows and movies .do people come up with these ideas and pass them by Lucas ? Or do people just make stuff up that works? I’m genuinely curious how all this lord comes into play. I understand people write and draw and come up with these but is it all being brought before George or a team to vet?
It's not George's decisions anymore. Its Disney who makes the decisions now, I do believe alot of people overlook it like Dave filoni Jon Favreau for Disney. But Disney decides what is and isn't Canon.
Which type of Royal Guard would have been in the emperor's throne room on the second death star at the Battle of Rndor?
if you havent already go read crimson empire now
And Rey got 4 of them...god...Disney..
No reds were not as frightening as the yuzhang vong hunters.
Didn't Yoda take 2 Royal Guards down with just a swipe of his hand?
❤ it
Ah word
Yoda disagrees
I'll take the legend shadow guards over disney inquisitors any time.
You said dark jedi. Is that separate from the sith?
Yeah. It's like the Sith Rule of 2 vs a former Jedi or just a force sensitive baddie.
Here under 100 views
Meh, just look like knights of ren and they might be the least intimidating “bad guys” in all of Star Wars.
Damn.
~_~
Red guard vs Patreon panhandling CZcamsr.
ORDER 66
And yet some silly girl with limited training managed to defeat them...
It's hard to accept the red guard as elite fighters after seeing them in action against rei and kylo. Even Jarjar moved with more grace.
1. You shall don’t talk about the sequels. They are not real. *force trick*
2. Those are the knights of ren, not red guards. So It’s safer to consider them as differently trained.
D
Your Videos of this type would be much better if they were 5 minutes or Less, you stretch them by repeating & saying the same thing slightly diff. Over & over but time is not unlimited I believe if you tried my recommendation you would have at least 30% more views. Not trying to be mean or rude.
They are awesome
The Senate Guard was MUCH better lore than Deathtrooper. Deathtrooper is lame. I don't blame Disney for throwing out a lot of the EU, but they should have been much, much, much more selective.
