Names of the people he killed in his kill streak is still being shown until today
Rollinghypogrif240 there is no word in any human language to verbally describe such a godly killstreak.
Still getting medals though. Who knows how many serial killer there was on Alderaan, so he's getting a helluva lot of streak ending medals

Ten Graneet be like: “I’ve finally got control of the largest gun in the galaxy... but at what cost?”
25 shmeckles
A billion lives and half a kedney
Imagine missing with that thing
MORE DAKKA
“Everything.”-Luke.
In his own way, Ten helped the Rebels infinitely more than had he defected.
Indeed. He knew they will hire the replacement who will have no qualms and remorse whatsoever, and they may also kill him to keep silent about Death Star. When Death Star was about to fire, he saw the hour of his revenge and retribution is at hand. Respectable,redeeming and heroic deed. Even though Graneet would not seen this way,he saved the galaxy from more planetary genocide
He kind of reminds me of Galen Erso in a way. Galen knew he couldn't leave or take his own life, otherwise Krennic would realize he no longer needed him and would find a replacement. So he deliberately put a design flaw into the Death Star's reactor, a flaw which Luke Skywalker would eventually exploit.
Imagine if the instant Alderaan blew up, Tarkin turned over and was like "You idiot, I said fire a warning shot across their nose, not UP it!"
He had the ultimate high ground, from space
Other Joe Youre beautiful.
Is space still ground though? These questions need answers.
CER SIVA well the floor of the death star counts as ground, even if its in space.

No joke, this is probably the only guy in the galaxy that has more self loathing than darth vader...or at least he can relate

That’s an understatement...
Steven Choza would be cool to see more reactions from other imperial/rebels towards this guy.

Indeed.
I agree
This is beyond the self loathing that Vader felt.

He lived as a soldier, believing he was a murderer, but he died a hero.
May the force be with you Tenn Graneet, the greatest unsung rebel in the galaxy.
Ten:kills a bunch of people, breaks down mentally.
Luke:kills a bunch of people, some of which were innocent, parties with living teddy bears.
It's all about the imagery and propaganda. When you learned about the Nazi's in school, were you asking yourself how many of the german soldiers in WW2 were forcibly drafted into service? Cos I sure wasn't
Parties with living teddy bears who have just roasted and eaten humans
(those empty stormtroopers helmets they play drum on ..They were not empty a few hours before..)
@@solwen yeah I already knew that
@@mattpeters1676 I did
None of them were innocent, they knew what they signed up for when they agreed to maintain and facilitate a planet-destroying super weapon, whereas the million civilians they murdered on Alderan did not deserve the fate they suffered. Are you telling me the Death Star wasn't the biggest military target in the galaxy??
This guy is also the only storm trooper that can actually hit their target.
lol
mugensamurai Can you imagine if he missed? That laser would travel through the galaxy until it eventually hit some poor unintended planet and ending billions of innocent lives.
Newfy Nate Or just striking an asteroid, or fizzling out, as it does not have infinite energy.

"Stand by . . . Stand by . . ."
The last words spoken by an Imperial gunner who was simultaneously one of the galaxy's most infamous murderers, and one of its greatest heroes.
Imagine killing billions of peaceful civilians and being remembered as a hero
Mr F because he also saved billions.
@Federal Bureau of Investigation and?
@Federal Bureau of Investigation no
He also tried to save the rebel base by stalling, allowing a dangerous weapon that could kill even more people to be destroyed. The rebel base lives on because he stalled the blast. That’s why he is remembered.
He has the highest kill count in Star Wars
Jar Jar Binks (caused the clone wars)?
The person that destroyed The Hosnian System in TFA?
Jango Fett (clones count)
Try Kyp Durron and the Sun Crusher. Dude destroyed a star system with it.
+super jedi player I agree that Jango Fett (through his clones) and whoever is responsible for the firing of Starkiller Base's beam both have high kill counts, but the Clone Wars goes deeper than Jar Jar Binks.
"He [Jar Jar Binks] rose to prominence after the-now Senator Padmé Amidala was forced to go into hiding after a series of assassination attempts on Coruscant. At the request of Amidala, Representative Binks agreed to stand in for her in the Senate. In her absence, however, Binks was easily manipulated by more experienced politicians, and as they preyed on his innocence, they convinced him that the creation of a Grand Army of the Republic was a course of action that Amidala would have taken. In fact, the creation of an army was exactly what Amidala had been fighting against. Feeling that it was his duty to act in her stead, he suggested that the Senate give the-now Supreme Chancellor Palpatine the emergency powers required to create the Grand Army of the Republic. The motion passed, and soon afterwards, with the Battle of Geonosis, the Clone Wars began."
-Wookieepedia article on Jar Jar Binks: starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jar_Jar_Binks#The_Separatist_Crisis.
This quote states that it was "more experienced politicians" who began the Clone Wars by manipulating Jar Jar Binks into thinking that Padmé Amidala would vote in FAVOR of "the creation of an army", so it was THEM who (through manipulating Jar Jar Binks into starting the Clone Wars) have the kill count caused by the Clone Wars.
+Modustollens1 Thank you for the satire.
well, i guess it's sheev the senate then.
but jar jar is a sith.
"What is taking so long? My readings tell me the laser is fully charged!"

He must have had a legendary killstreak
AdventureBuilder this is a very underappreciated comment that was beautiful
reddish eagle couldn't have said it better myself
Imagine the care packages. >.>
To this day, names still keep popping up in his killfeed
AdventureBuilder he unlocked every character the first second on battlefront 2.
I just love how the backstory for the guy who fired the Death Star is "I've dreamed of firing the biggest gun I can get my hands on." That's such a ridiculous backstory for someone, it's like somebody in the writers room heard that they're to write a story about the guy who fired the Death Star and had literally 10 seconds to come up with a backstory for him.
And it simultaneously belies a surprisingly sympathetic character who believed his own lies while being committing some of the worst atrocities possible, as well as the result of that on his psyche.
well it also tells us that the character was naive and had simple ambitions, ironic for his last role
Even by stalling from firing the weapon at Yavin, he indirectly caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Imperials by allowing Luke to destroy the Death Star. It was a lose/lose situation for him (though better overall, since the DS would've likely destroyed more planets had it succeeded).
Tens of thousands of Imperials that were fine with mass genocide and who laughed when Alderaan was destroyed. Nothing of importance was lost with DS destruction
@@GM-kp7yw did they laugh tho? did all the imperials laugh about the destruction of that planet in episode 4? don't recall all of them being fine with it either. they behaved like you would on a big fat weapon full of soldiers obeying the emperor. maybe don't be so quick to judge.
@@chuckyra3240 people knew what they were signing up to when they joined the empire
@@chuckyra3240 The people on Alderaan were innocent and didnt deserve it, imperials knew what they signed up for and got what they deserved
@@azacct9854 there are (canon) stories about the nightmares of the guy who shot the weapon. also you don't know under what pretences they were lured (or forced) to join the empire. (forced voluntairies is what armies ar made of. not only blood thirsty idiots.) and you don't know anything about war if you think everyone who's fighting has the big picture like you, the viewer does.
________
but nevertheless, my comment was mainly about the totally inprecise und thoughtless comment that "everyone laughed". like: no. this ain't disney. no one laughed.
whoever pulled the trigger on starkiller base must have been like, "biggest mass murderer, HA hold my beer"

Modustollens1 Nah, they should just nerf the superlaser. It's radius is unbelievably large and don't get me started about it's accuracy and damage. It one shots everything no matter the distance, wtf?
Modustollens1 Uggh, Lootboxes. They really are going to ruin the game :(
What about lord snow NL?
I feel that from moral reasons the Death Star firing should have worked like this seven activation buttons and seven people only one of the buttons would work and each time it would be random which one worked that way no one truly knew if they were the the person who activated it
I can really appreciate how complicated his situation is, he killed billions but felt intense remorse immediately after, he was selfless enough to not push the job onto someone else and in the end he died saving billions of people.
He is truly a case of "can he be forgiven?" He felt remorse, and died stopping another atrocity himself, but his crimes are of unimaginable proportion.
Do you think he would have gone to Star War's equivalent of heaven? I personally hope so, he was a good person stuck with the responsibility of committing atrocious crimes, I wouldn't say I blame him.
I think his actions were entirely selfless, to the degree that he himself was adhering to the light side of the Force. From his PoV he was willing to sacrifice himself just to buy time. A few minutes, an hour, even seconds. He was willing to die to delay that thing from firing. He has no hope of forgiveness and no guarantee of redemption. Not even the barest guarantee of success or atonement.
If Anakin could become one with the force with such a sacrifice, so could this one man.

@@BirdRaiserE I was going to say that. Self defense taken to the next level.
0:38 dude that guy has the highest killstreak in the whole universe
I had to rewatch this... Dude blew up alderan in like 30 seconds. When the rebel base was in range, all the people who did the firing took their sweet time.
That's what's amazing about star wars. There's practically a backstory on the guy who mopped the floors of the death star.
Imagine his Union struggles against the introduction of the little maintenance droids zooming around, taking his job.
*sees Luke pulling vader around*
"Hey! I just mopped that corridor!"
what about the untold story of toaster droid #5 from episode 4?
Well let's not forget the backstory of the death star mopper's son.. and how he and his father, realizing the imminent destruction of the death star, managed to save a few stormtroopers just before the station was destroyed

My jaw literally dropped when I heard that ten said standby. I instantly remembered that scene from the film.
Ten Graneet: I murdered two billion people
Guy who fired Starkiller Base: Hold my blue milk
look up the Sun Crusher ship. It was an Imperial ship capable of firing a special torpedo into a star to collapse it, and wipe out an entire system. It is the smallest, and most devastating, Imperial super weapon ever made.
@@Corgblam nice, I will!
*green
Corgblam Ye, but it was never used on civilians
The guy who fired Starkiller Base probably felt no remorse since they were far more radical than the Empire ever was.
"Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds"
AmberRun at least the nukes were only used once so far, well twice, but for a single end goal on a single group of people. Oppenheimer didn’t have to live and see his weapon destroy planets. Still a sad, dark, and harsh reality though...
@@svtxj9921 Nukes would have come around with or without Oppenheimer. It was too good an idea to remain a footnote in a physics textbook forever. And the more physics was understood the more obvious it would have become that such weapons can be built. Technology and scientific understanding by the 70's was so far advanced that we'd have made it then for sure. And so would the Russians. And without the terrible knowledge gained in their use in Hiroshima and Nagasaki we may have used them in a much bigger way later on. Who knows.

It's kinda cool how deep everything goes in star wars, like you see this one guy once in the movies but then understand the entire background of his life, and how it shaped him for his actions.
"Now I am become death , the destroyer of worlds."
He must have felt like the pilot who dropped the first nuclear bomb.
Josh Dodge. No. The totalitarian Japanese regime started an aggressive war in the Pacific. They eventually killed about 20 million people. Their Ketsu-Go plan would have had them fight on to the death. They reaped the whirlwind.
Josh Dodge I doubt it.
During WW2 very few Americans viewed Japanese as humas.
There was a poll back then where more than a half of Americans stated that they wanted all Japanese to be exterminated.
Even now when you watch any clip of Japanese military during or before WW2 almost all american comments say that "they got what they deserved"
That's precisely what I'm talking about.
Adolf Hitler i wouldn't say they deserved it, but it was the only way. To say that they deserved it is a bit fucked up, their training was practically just brainwashing. Full on brainwash, probably from birth. They were always told you do anything to protect the emperor, the emperor and your honor is EVERYTHING. You do anything and everything to preserve it.
Yes they were fanatical as all hell don't get me wrong. Its actually quite fascinating, but the nuclear option was the only viable option. It reduced out death toll but increased theirs at an unfathomable rate, and the aftershock certainly didn't help. The nuclear fallout? Some id that shit I don't think anyone deserves, especially kids born after all of it. Those mutations are just awful
"Hell no, no second thoughts. If you give me the same circumstances, hell yeah, I'd do it again." - Paul Tibbets, the pilot who flew the Enola Gay over Hiroshima.
I always felt so bad for him in the book, he had so much going for him, a good career, friends and respect of his peers. Then he got what he wanted, to fire the biggest gun the galaxy.When it came time for him to destroy Yavin IV his death was a mercy. The book did an amazing job showing his mental state and grief he felt for killing billions of innocent people. I'll say it again "Death Star" is a must read.
Rakatan Lord is that book canon?
Franco Valdez I don't think so, when I got a copy of the book it was canon but that was 10 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's been demoted to legends now.
Rakatan Lord ooh, what a pity 😔 It's a good story
Franco Valdez whatever Disney says I still like to think of it as canon, it's too good to not be in my opinion.

That's even more messed up
I'm surprised he didn't question the regime when they told him the place he's going to be working at would be called the "Death Star".
... are we the baddies?
I'm pretty sure the battle station was nicknamed 'the Death Star' by the rebel alliance.
I’m pretty sure the empire referred to it as stardust as that was what the project was called
Super hsppy fun time place was the Empire's name for it.

He just wanted to fire big ass lasers

I have it on good authority that the one who actually fired the laser was Jar Jar Binks.
he was the laser
CerealKiller yes I agree
But killing is meant to be ur job
Tragic hero to be exact
nope jar jar binks broke his neck after the second workday while he was trying to push the trigger.
Through the force
This guy has the same energy as the guy who goes “NOW THAT’S ALOTTA DAMAGE.”
I went back and re watched that scene.. now I see it differently.. he does delay enough for Luke to destroy the death star.. what a sacrifice and a true unsung hero.
I don't know which is more tragic. The fact this is no longer cannon or the fact the rebels would never know of the gunners stalling giving them the win.
Madison Atteberry How about Darth Plageious the Wise?
Same problem, different question. The fact the galaxy dosen't know of the story or the fact Plageious should have known better....unless Palpatine's betrayal was his intent to see if he could cheat death and he really didn't teach his apprentice 'everything he knew'....hum....
Clayton Carmine holy shit thanks for the laughs, I needed it after watching this gloomy video
Madison Atteberry when really was it cannon? He couldnt have been a gunner during the clone wars at least not any type of gunner like the photo showed as the republic was composed of clones not regular people. And this isn't fact but it would seem to me if darth vader had to pick between an ex clone or some random enlisted who likes big guns vader would most likely choose such an important job for an ex clone.
He could have been a gunner in the old cannon. There were regular people with clones serving.
“At 4 percent of its power, the super laser completely obliterated the droid control ship”.
Looks like Shaggy has a new rival...
name surname lmfao
name surname nah Shaggy doesn’t even need 0.02% of his power to do that.

The Nethral Kin Shaggy can easily annihilate all life with a single thought in his head, no need to use any power at all!
Finally, a fresh take on classic SW and a character study I’d never heard of or even contemplated before.
this is the best channel explaning things on starwarS
Superior: "You may fire when ready"
Death Star engineer: *staling* "one sec"
"There's been an, um, weapons malfunction?"
"Yes sir, the trigger is broken."
"Me no speak no english"
"Hey bruh,I gotta take a piss real bad"
“Too much sand in the rig, must go”
wow and even with a kill score of +2,000,000,000 it still took him hours to unlock Darth Vader on star wars Battlefront 2

I also though that
You deserve more likes
Only in Star Wars a random guy like him has this much character
I find it strange the the first Death Star managed to hit a capital ship since that was a main feature of the second Death Star which had more accurate targeting systems
I like how he, suffering from what has he done, understands that if he leaves his post, it will be occupated with soneone else who will cause genocide, so he refuses to himself to leave.
A true hero.
Mental breakdown, he had
Ur me
He couldve sabotaged the equipment and leave but it wouldve been repaired and he wouldve been replaced.
Why did I read this with Yoda’s voice in my mind? 😅🤣
A "true hero", no. He murdered billions. The fact that he felt guilt means he had a small shred of good left in him, but there's no redeeming someone like that. And we should certainly not heroify him.
This guy is the prof that good individuals can exist within an objectively evil empire. He may have been the executioner of alderan, but in the end he did the right thing.
masterblasterT47 the Rebels weren’t the good guys? I my opinion the empire was a good thing
Admiral Ackbar supports genocide, you heard it here first folks!
A tyrannical regime that quashed free speech/expression/worship, was massively xenophobic and destroyed entire planets? Yeah. It was definitely a good thing!!!
*sarcasm intensifies*
masterblasterT47 The Empire did nothing wrong
I wonder how many other inncocent victims that terrorist Luke murdered on the Death Star.
That was very interesting. I enjoyed that. Thanks man

Hell, his story is more filling than Phasma's LOL
Ellies's Dilemma, if you want to know a bit more about him, you can read the Star Wars Legends book Death Star. It's really good, and delves really deep into the construction of the Death Star (before Rogue One came out and made a canon story about it) and it also shows some of Tenn Granite's backstory.
This certainly is interesting bit of info. And makes also sense when one notices the difference in speed when buttons are pressed and the switch pulled at Alderaan compared to Yavin, latter being a little slower in addition to "Stand by...".
Thats the great thing about starwars. Who would remember to write a background story for some random guy in any other franchise
We can hear him say "Stand by!" in A New Hope, at the last shot of Tarkin

So that guy got 2 billion kills in one life on one match? Atleast it won't take 40 hours for him to unlock darth Vader

Everything has a price.
godzillavkk Of course everything has a price. I’d expect to purchase it with earned in-game currency than being strong armed into a tedious grind fest that only rewards playtime not skill.
@@sirballsthemagicman696 Like I care.
godzillavkk hmmm hmmm good job defend greedy ass companys. remember to smile while you eat their shit.
I really enjoyed that thank you, more of these SW stories please……👏👏👏👏👍
In canon, some were killed due to hesitation. They were executed by Grand Moff's order through space.
While both sides have a different fate, apparently their heart is there. One hesitated and was executed for, the other didn't but questioned upon realization and purposely delayed before its unexpected destruction.
His kd ratio is 2bil kils 1 death and his accuracy is 100%
U forgot that he hit everyone with a single shot.. *Accurately*

Hacker
What about his early life? I guarantee he’s at least shot one bullet that didn’t hit his target.
This means his accuracy is nearly 2.000.000.000%
Being the janitor in the death star is gotta suck
kinderpepper 315 especially if there's only one janitor
Probably need a whole battalion of em
Fox Hound the stormtroopers were the ones who cleaned the station (and the star destroyers)
Avatarbee how is that relevant to what I said or am I just stupid?
Fox Hound there was no designated janitor. The Stormtroopers took turns being janitor
*"...was a young man fascinated at firing massive weapons, always hoping to being assigned to the largest gun available."* LOL... amazingly complex motivation and BG history, huh?
Tenn Graneet is simultaneously one of the worst mass murderers in the history of the Star Wars Galaxy, while also being among its greatest heroes.
He probably feels like Robert J Oppenheimer.
i am become death. destroyer of worlds
@@DorfVG I am Spongebob, Destroyer of EVIIIL!
No, that dubious honor would fall on Galen Erso, the inventor and designer of the Death Star. Ten would be Paul Warfield Tibbets Jr. in this case.
I heard Oppenheimer was more like Tarkin.
I'd say more like the person that pressed the bomb release button for the Enola Gay, when the first nuke was dropped on Japan.
How much power?
UNLIMITED POWER!
OVER 9000
INFINITE POWER!
*Cues the song: Infinite Power*
It goes like this ): UHNLIHMITED POWAAAAAAAAA
Fuck your force lightning. Force glow.
Is it bad that i read this in the emperors voice
Oooohhh my god I have not been watching anything about Star Wars or anything along those lines it has been so long I watched this channel all the time when I was a kid
This man became Death and the TRUE Destroyer of Worlds
How would it feel like to have all that power?
Pietree The ability to kill billions, if not trillions, at flick of a single switch?
Probably like you're gonna get sent straight to the 9th circle of hell for treachery against sentient life.
Like an explosion between your legs times Infinity
Pietree well if it's not you then it'll be someone else,I think he was a brave man to put the burden on himself rather than anyone else
It's interesting to think on since you wouldn't see or even be able to comprehend how many lives you're snuffing out. At best you would see an entire planet explode, at worst you don't even see that, just a confirmation signal from your control room. Instead you basically would have to futilely try to mentally grasp the sheer magnitude of such an act and then accept that you are ultimately responsible. Imagine for instance how a man who flips a switch that launches an ICBM nuke at a large city would handle what they've just done.
The clocks ticking,
I just count the hours.
Best K/D in the Empire, tbh.
Well maybe.. But still you have darth sidious and Darth nihilus who have destroyed multiple planets just by force drain .. Of course nihilus never existed during the empires days but sidious did.. Therefor claiming him the highest k/d in the empire with this guy being second place
Yeah, you're right. Not so bad for a non-force user though.
Dafty Jones well ya look at it like this..
He's killed more people on actual film than any star wars character.. So yea he's very bad ass .. Second to only nihilus and sidious
Dafty Jones best accuracy too
N A N I?
This guys montage would take centuries
Ten Graneet: "I am become death, destroyer of worlds."
Wilhuff Tarkin: "Never bring that fucking cretin in here again. He didn't order Alderaan to be destroyed. I did. That kind of weepiness makes me sick."
I bet the star wars EU has a story for the janitor who cleans the emperors office room on the deathstar II.
Tol ntaork? he accidentally removed the railings on the death star, while cleaning which is the reason palpatine fell. before joining the empire he was working in a cantina on Coruscant. he joined the empire when he was 30 after the battle of hoth. he was a stormtrooper that wasn't too great at fighting, and almost got captured by the rebels, but darth vader saved him. he lost one of his arms, and the new one he got wasn't good enough to get him back into combat, so the emperor assigned him to be an engineer and cleaner on the second death star above endor. during the battle of endor, he was in a shuttle helping troops to get to the ground and fight. as the second death star exploded, he was about to take off to get to the surface. as he heard Palpatine screaming while falling he tried to come back and help, but he died as the second death star was destroyed.
(if you didn't realise, i made up this story)
super jedi player THAT NEEDS TO BE CANNON
nothing in canon contradicts it, i don't see why not.
i have a few older stories (they are more silly than this one, and they aren't specifically made for this comment. the one about the death star cleaner is a freshly made, new story, while these ones are a bit older) (this is just one of them, there are a lot more, one about snoke, one about pleagious, i think there are 7 or 8 in total)
Dianoga One- a Star Wars story
Tha dianoga was a creature living on dagobah, but there weren't any trash compactors there, so that meant no people being thrown down them for it to see and eat, so it found a crashed sepratist starship that was taken by the republic and repaired, and it hid inside of it, while they went to Utapau, but the dianoga didn't like utapau, but it liked kyber crystals, but there weren't many of them there, so it was sad, but then it saw a huge crystal being taken, so it hid on it, eventually it got above geonosis, where they were making the death star, and was placed near the superlaser, but the crystals nearly burned it's legs, so it jumped in the trash compactor, and the empire put a roof above it, but the dianoga got sad, since it couldn't see the crystals, but it was loud when the laser charged up, and fired, so it got really angry about it, so it pressed the "open exhaust port " button hen it was sneaking around the station, a few minutes before the death star was in firing range, but then it was thrown back into the trash compactor, but found an escape pod, and escaped, seeing the death star explode behind it.
You're describing Finn from episode 7..
What if that pilot in return of the jedi missed the bridge of that super star destroyer?
TheRevyFilms The Super Star destroyer wouldn't crash into the second Death Star
Commander Zavala have you heard that objects big enough can create their own gravity
Commander Zavala Combo of engine and bridge damage
That would be impossible, even if he was in a trajectory that would make him miss, the Executor would just move in his way to correct that. Imperials are funny like that.
The force of the explosion may have pushed it downwards
You made this story up!
I'm gonna keep this in my headcanon
