Captain Fordo and Yoda Defend Sector Four - Star Wars: Clone Wars

Captain ARC-77 "Fordo" and Jedi Master Yoda defending Sector 4 during the Battle of Coruscant, as depicted in Star Wars: Clone Wars.

Captain Fordo was the leader of Obi-Wan Kenobi's personal ARC Trooper unit (Advanced Recon Commandos) within General Anakin Skywalker's 501st Battalion during The Clone Wars and later under Darth Vader during the formation of The Galactic Empire.

While the 501st was on the Outer Rim, General Kenobi had ordered Fordo to take a squad to the planet Hypori to rescue seven Jedi & Padawan who had been pinned down by General Grievous & a battalion of B2 Super Battle Droids in the ruins of a crashed star destroyer (the Separatist military leader's first appearance). By the time Fordo's team arrived, Grievous had already slain Padawans, Tarr Seirr & Sha'a Gi as well as Master Daakman Barrek, with Jedi Masters Aayla Secura, Ki-Adi-Mundi, K'Kruhk & Shaak Ti seriously injured. The event led the Jedi to dub Grievous "The Butcher of Hypori".

Despite orders from General Ki-Adi-Mundi to pursue Grievous, Fordo insisted they egress lest the wounded die. Upon returning the injured to Coruscant for medical treatment, Fordo was awarded but refused the Chancellor's Service Medal, instead asking it be awarded posthumously to CT-43/002 (the only Trooper he'd lost in the Battle of Muunilinst). While it was believed Master K'Kruhk had died, he had in fact only entered a deep healing trance.

The CIS attacked the city before the Captain could rejoin his Battalion and in the confusion he took command of the Coruscant Guard & other forces in Defense Sector 4. Upon being overrun, Fordo was reinforced by Master Yoda riding a Kybuck (and later Mace Windu, the two covering Fordo's left flank).

I've received many requests on my previous video's comments for this (Full Battle of Coruscant - Star Wars). So here y'all go! I think I'll start making clips of all the most epic moments from this terribly underappreciated mini-series.

Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars mini-series fills in the gaps between Episodes II & III while leading directly to the opening scene of III. The miniseries was canon (until officially overwritten by Star Wars: THE Clone Wars full series/movie), with storyboard approval from George Lucas himself. Star Wars: Clone Wars is now considered Legends.

Fordo "We need reinforcements"

*proceeds to singlehandedly obliterate the droid offensive*

[bushido_brownn]

“The reinforcement will decide your fate”

Fordo: *” I am the reinforcement”*

[BalkanRedneck]

Let's be honest, Frodo only wanted reinforcements so he'd have a bigger audience for his moment of awesome.

[Hereloki]

Terminid front: Man, the bugs just can't keep up.

Automaton front:

[elcuartetodeeren]

Fordo : " We need reinforcements!"
Also Fordo : " So anyway, i started blasting"

You may be badass


but you'll never be Captain Fordo dual-wielding a DC-15 and a blaster pistol against a whole platoon of SBDs badass.

Such good writing in a small moment, it shows that not only is he a battle hardened warrior, but he’s not arrogant or reckless, in that split moment he took out a few realised the line wouldn’t hold and ordered his men to fall back.

[YuhChorp]

Fordo: “Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance!”

Also Fordo: “*But not for me*”

[nbhunter]

Citizens: "we are gonna attack area 51"

He went full Clone Commando for a second

I love how the later Clone Wars show gave the clones so much character and heart - but this show gives them some of the most badass scenes in the entire franchise.

[troublemaker]

SO MUCH ACTION packed into thirty seconds. Tartakovsky is the greatest animation director of all time, boys.

0:16 Remember: switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading... but so is throwing your rifle at the enemy

[Ostentatiousnessness]

Fordo *AND* Yoda?

Most secure sector in all of the galaxy IMHO

[laurocoman]

"I'm here to drink blue milk and kick ass... and I'm all out of blue milk"

Those Flintstones Gummies I ate 10 years ago: 0:13

[theparagon]

Fordo: "Sir, permission to go sicko mode?"
Yoda: "Granted to go sicko mode, permission is"

[kaijuslayer]

0:13 Even before it was a meme or a thing, they made this scene look like a MLG killstreak with that damn camera movement

[naterk]

Palpatine: "I fear no man... but that thing... it scares me."

[zachboyd]

“Fordo what kind of defense is this?!?
“I AM THE DEFENSE!”
