      A war they were created to fight that was rigged from the start by the puppeteers in charge, they were created as part of a lie, must really play on a clones mind. They fought for years for a result that was always going to happen.

      I think and thank Dave Felloni and the whole team around him for giving us such a masterpiece that has ever been made. Just look at how they introduced us to every single clone in the series.
      Put simply, you might see clones like oranges, they all look the same on the outside, but they differ in taste.
      Every situation, every decision they had to make along the way made them to a unique being.

  • @An1m3Weaboo
    @An1m3Weaboo Před rokem +324

    The Clones were the most tragic characters we've seen in Star Wars history. Originally were meant to fight and defend the Republic, giving their lives for others to live. But then, once Palpatine played a bonus card implementing the Stormtrooper Program, the Clones were all but discarded. Those who were forcefully retired ended up homeless, and what's worse, used as test subjects locked up in prison.
    The Clones do deserve a better life at this point after the Clone Wars.. It's sad that they all gave up their lives for nothing.

      Was/is it really that poorly received in the SW fan base? I started watching the show recently after S3 completed so I could binge it all and I am honestly surprised at how good it is. Yeah, the “monster of the week” style episodes suck sometimes but I felt that because TBB themselves are so likable, it still made them fun to watch and I like how dark the show could get. There was never really truly an episode that made me go “waste of time”

      I appreciate your service, I don't even care what military you're from.
      Some soldiers do horrible things in the name of their country, but one has to remember who put them there, who told them they should sign up, or who forced them into signing up.
      Who spreads the propaganda telling them what they're doing surely couldn't be wrong.
      So often soldiers are forgotten, discarded, and spit on.
      Most especially in America.
      You get sent off to war only to be called a murderer and criminal when you return.
      Well fuck that.
      War is complicated, war is hell, and most of all, war is bullshit.

      Just like John Rambo what he said in First Blood it wasn't his war but he did what he had to do to win, and survive. Rambo: in the field we have a code of honor you watch my back I watch yours but back in the normal civilian life that means nothing 😢. The world is filled with both good and bad people it's the blind ignorance of those who don't understand things in times of war and only cared about what they think and how they see it especially their own opinions.

Those on top sitting in their offices like a cheap politician and want to criticize those men & women in service and say they didn't do a good job or no thank you for time or service don't deserve their loyalty or service .

    Literally one of the best clone tributes I’ve ever seen. Top-notch work. For the Republic! As a Wartime Veteran...Thank you very much for this! It's what I needed. Happy May the 4th! The Clones were the most tragic characters we've seen in Star Wars history. Originally were meant to fight and defend the Republic, giving their lives for others to live. But then, once Palpatine played a bonus card implementing the Stormtrooper Program, the Clones were all but discarded. Those who were forcefully retired ended up homeless, and what's worse, used as test subjects locked up in prison. The Clones do deserve a better life at this point after the Clone Wars. It's sad that they all gave up their lives for nothing. This is absolutely the best tribute I’ve ever seen… the editing, all the clips together, the voice overlay, AH!! I love the clones!! For the Republic! As commendable and heroic as the clones were, Palpatine never saw them as anything more than a means to an end. They were expendable tools, not individuals. And once their purpose had been served, they were cast aside and replaced. Such an ignoble end for soldiers who fought so valiantly. That is probably the best thing I have seen and ever will see in my entire life. It shows the plan for the clones and the tragedy, how they all knew what was right, but Palpatine's chip and the order were tooo for dug into them that they could not truly pull back. That was amazing. I am not going to lie about this, the scene of the homeless clone from the prequels made me tear up. As a die-hard Clone Wars fan, I did not remember that scene and it hurt, way too close to home for our current-day soldiers. Very very well done, Thank you for the hard work and effort you put into this. Why did this make me tear up? 😢 The clones had so much more character than the stormtroopers! May the 4th be with you all! 5:20 when it had the shot of the cities sinking and 5's saying he was free gave me chills 7:42 "He's doing what a soldier does. Sacrificing himself for the lives of others." - Colonel Meebur Gascon I feel like this line and the scene in the Clone Wars (Gregor sacrificing himself) was one of the most powerful scenes in Star Wars history, accompanied by the absolutely astonishing orchestral score. I loved it so much that I cried thank you it is a masterpiece This was beautiful I love that others show the same deep love and respect for the clones as I have. This person said better than any other CZcamsr I have ever seen. Such an amazing tribute to clones! Storytelling and parallels are perfect. You have done great work brother! Clone Wars was my childhood and seeing the lessons it had taught us edited together was tear-jerking Damnnn *THE FINEST CLONES EDIT EVER" multiple goosebumps moments... Loved it Words can not express how amazing this edit was Such a meaningful tribute. Definitely my favorite now. Also, I was thinking about one particular interaction that I would love to see happen in season 3 of The Bad Batch: when Rex gets to speak to Nala Se during or after the assault on the facility on Mount Tantiss. It's a great possibility for Rex's character development and, perhaps, for Nala Se too. She can change her mind on her creations, Rex and other regular clothes can make peace with Kaminoans as they all are the victims of Sidious's plans. We should all take a moment of silence for the clones They were good soldiers They followed orders The amount of work that goes into these videos is astonishing Why carry such a heavy burden on your own, when you have your brothers at your side? You need them, and they need you. That part hit hard. That "not to us" bit is everything I loved about the Jedi-clone dynamic Well done, it captured the clone's code of honor and their individuality without missing a beat throughout the entire video. This would be a great trailer for the Clone Wars. The quotes are perfectly cut together. I really have to say, this is the most breathtaking tribute I think I've ever seen, The subject of the clones is one to be handled carefully, and this video used the subject beautifully. One of the most heart-rending storylines in all of Star Wars is not about the Jedi Sith or the war but rather that which we caught glimpses of each time we saw it I just wanted to say I’ve never seen any tribute video better than this. I absolutely love this and am just blown away… earned a subscriber in tech and Echo and Crosshair were crying out they were working with

    As a proud trooper of the 104th Battalion (The Wolf Pack), I can safely say that the camaraderie and brotherhood you feel when watching TCW is only amplified when you take part in it yourself. My designation is CT Gum CT-31207. I am a trooper in Fireteam Genesis of Trident Squad of Phoenix Platoon, one of two units in the 48th "Rogue" Infantry Company. The 104th is one among many online clone MilSim (military simulation) units, and it has been growing steadily since it's birth in 2019! At present, we sit at around 15,000 active members. All of us brothers. I love all my brothers, and every single day I get to spend with them is another day I won't regret for the rest of my life. I have met some of the most amazing people through the 104th and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in being a part of something much larger than themselves. If anyone reading this is also in the battalion, feel free to reach out to me!
    Brothers in life, brothers in death, Vode An.

      Wtf what is this. I thought you were an actual soldier in the marines or something, but noooo it’s all roleplay in goofy Lego games

    One of the most heart-rending storylines in all of Star Wars is not about the jedi sith or the war but rather that which we caught glimpses of each time we saw it

    I’ve rewatched this so many times in the last few weeks. By far one of the best edited fan made videos like this I’ve seen.

    Got tears in my eyes watching this. Ever since I've finished the clone wars. Cant explain how many tears this brought.

    This would be a great trailer to the Clone Wars. The quotes are perfectly cut together.

    CHILLS! especially during that final sizzle reel of all the clones I looked up to and wanted to be for Halloween as a kid😂

    The clones were the best soldiers one could ask for. Beloved by many across the world. Order 66 made it so tragic, especially after we got to know all the Jedi and clones. We knew them, their story, and that is what made the show one of the greatest animations to ever exist. Long live the clones, long live the republic!

    This is incredible, seriously. The story of the clones in Star Wars is both beautiful and tragic. Honestly , I've been holding my breath during mando season 3, because any minute we're going to find out what happened to the rest of the clones, and it's going to be hard to watch

    This…This was Star Wars for me. I stopped liking it for years now due to what they were doing to it. But, then I remembered why I loved it. Clones.
