Been rereading Republic Commando novels and Clone Wars Omnibuses and I love the snide comments the Clones make about Palps. “Old Slimy” is my favorite lol.

[robertagu]

Yeah .. Amedala... The "Pascifist"... That married a top Jedi General an helped run... "Negotiations"... With her blaster...

[tru_targaryen]

I can already tell that this is gonna make writing fanfiction so much easier. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

[indianajones]

Thank you for doing this video! A lot of the tanks are so weird as well. Like Echo is still a Corporal despite being an ARC Trooper! I thought ARC troopers were like Green Berets, so Echo should at least be a Staff Sergeant, I would then guess it’s equal to Ranger school, but ARC troopers have more of a command role than ordinary troopers…

Palpatine, “I will not allow this Republic that stood for a thousand years be split in two. My negotiations will not fail.”
Me, “I bet he had his fingers crossed and smirked behind the Jedi’s back.”

Speaking on the Legion/Brigade parallel, a part of the reason why this exists is due to a bit of the real-life inspiration for the Clone Wars; the American Civil War.

During the war, some notable politicians and wealthy members of southern society would form their own, combined arms units. These would be known as “Legions.”

These “Legions” would have a combination of infantry, artillery, and cavalry, meaning they could act on their own as a force, but were usually incorporated into a divisional command.

A couple of examples include Hampton’s Legion (raised by South Carolinian politician Wade Hampton III), Cobb’s Legion (raised by Georgian politician Thomas R. R. Cobb), and Thomas’s Legion of Cherokee Indians and Highlanders (raised by North Carolinian politician - and Cherokee ally - William Thomas).

They drew their inspiration from the Roman legions, though didn’t reach the size and scale of those Legions.

I absolutely love lore videos like these. It ain't an hour long, but it is a welcome video.

[g.williams]

I love videos like this, especially with the map and all the sector armies. It’s very interesting to look at a map of Star Wars and realize how thin and spread out everything is.

[fes]

The structures of power would probably be better overseable with a graphic depiction of some sorts, although this would take a bit more effort.

[ZontarDow]

The Grand Army of the Republic truely is insanely small even for a planetary military.

[marshalllatta]

I love learning new things about star wars so cool 😊

[siriuskek]

I‘ve waited for this video for so long, thanks for your amazing Star Wars content, especially the longer videos!!!

[asterjaden]

Yes please, i'd love to see a Galactic Empire Command Structure Video.

[nihilisticadventure]

Everyone misses a key point in the movies- the old republic had no army. The creation of one lead to its own destruction.
If you create an army,
You will have war.

[lucasbjorckvinje]

Such an awesome video, so much more fun to listen to than read on a Wookiepedia article.

[belisarius]

36 000 clones to take a whole inhabited planet? Tiny clone numbers like these never made sense to me; I always headcanoned it as either there being orders of magnitude more clones than were told there are, or that clones only make up a small elite core of a much larger GAR made up mainly of PSF and local auxiliaries.

[djashovel]

One thing that always annoyed me about the republic And the jedi is that Is being so pacifistic.They basically left the Galaxy basically undefended. Having basically no fleet or A massive army

The jedi truly never understood war And will also psychology

[kingtiger]

the 3 million clones never made sense to me it would make more sense if it was 3 mio whole units because you also nee people to crew te ships

Brigades can capture entire planets? Lol

[mattheweaton]

based on the info at the end of this video. The republic during the clone wars had around 40-50 thousand warships by the end of the war.
