What would you have done if you were a former Republic officer after Order 66 and discovered a Jedi Survivor?

I like to think the officers who weren't Clones may have been somewhat scared. The Jedi they had served with were now dead and if the Jedi could fall to the new Empire so easily, who wouldn't?

[quintonguo]

Non clone admirals:So what did you do today trooper
Clone: oh nothing just murdered a few of the highest ranking Jedi

*a human naval captain and a general are on the bridge of their ship"
*A clone death squad, lead by the residential clone commander, walks in*
"Morning captain"
*They gun down the jedi in a hail of laser fire*
*2 clones move to grab the body, while the others disperse*
*The clone commander turns to the captain*
"Congratulations sir, you've been promoted"
*The clone leaves without another word*

I woulda been like “aye bruh I didn’t know”

[StuartLugsden]

In my headcanon Palpatine told Tarkin about Order 66 and he happily participated.

[lenkagamine]

I'm glad that they didnt just kill off Terron and Denimoor. I feel like an annoying proportion of these stories just end with "and then darth vader killed them all.", its nice to see some imperial turncoats get away with it.

[thegrowl]

If your own troopers suddenly gun down your commanding general, what do you even do or think? I’d be frightened for my life, are they going to come after me next? And then some tall dark cyborg in a mask, with lights blinking all over him chokes someone to death without even touching them, just for questioning the previous events. From the POV of the average officer, that is terrifying.

Hello There Grand Master Lore Master

I noticed something from this new video. The officer that Vader killed who openly objected to the beliefs that the Jedi were traitors was Jace Dallin. He was a very close friend of Jedi Master Plo Koon. They both first met during the Stark Hyperspace War and they eventually met again during The Clone Wars. Jace continued to serve the Republic alongside the Jedi for the rest of the war. Just thought I might point that out.

Thanks for an amazing new video and May the Force be with You. Always!

Imagine your soliders coming to you and asking them where the general is and them just saying *Good soliders follow orders*

[zexalbrony]

It's people like Teron and even Admiral Pellion from Legends that shows the Empire wasn't all bad, some were just too scared to disobey, at least until Palpatine was killed, or truly did believe in the goals of the Empire even if they didn't agree with the methods. Of course, there were evil madmen in them like Grand Moff Tarkin and Naomi Dragon(Anyone who actually knows about that minor Grand Moff has my respect).
In the end what Star Wars teaches that every fraction, Republic, Jedi, Separatist, Empire, and Rebels had both good people and bad people, and those just in the middle who were to scared or just indifferent to disagree with their side.

[marckrieger]

Immagine beeing an republic officer and one day suddenly the clones under your command start firing on your jedi general. That would scared me for life, i would never be able to trust a clone. If they murder a jedi in cold blood, why couldn't they kill me next some day?

[JediAcolyte]

It is likely some were just too scared to speak out but others championed the fall of the Jedi and were then more than happy to believe everything the Emperor and his minions said.

[CaptainrdGaming]

Mad Respect to Commander Tarron (not sure if spelled that right) and the other officers they seem like real bros 👍

[irvingramirez]

2:07 still messes me up knowing the officer who spoke out was also the guy from the beginning of the republic comics (plo koons officer homie)

[Jay]

So of them must have been very confused and unsure what to do

[Zero-mnqw]

Officer: hey wait isn’t that the force that the Jedi used to used doesn’t that mean he is a

[lazer]

Imagine going out for your crunch time and when you come back you see the jedi general cutting down the clone troopers into pieces

[steampoweredmaniac]

*sees clone commander pull out cellphone mid debrief*
Jedi General: “Commander, can you put away your phone, we’re having an important discuss-“
Clone Commander: *Shoots jedi General*
Admiral: “...”
