The best general of the galactic empire Imperial army stormtroopers star wars lore Andor ISB clone wars admirals order 66 darth vader grand moff tarkin death star

[lisboah]

This guy earned the respect of both Palpatine and Tarkin. That's pretty impressive!

[Lawrence_Talbot]

One thing I love about Legends (EU) content is how hard they worked to give each character from the movies, no matter how small, their own backstory and make them seem essential. If you haven’t read the Legends novel Death Star, I _highly_ recommend it as it fills in a lot of backstory for the various people on the Death Star and how the plans got leaked (pre-Disney)

[Sierra]

“Left him looking terribly scarred”
The old guy who played him in A New Hope:
“Excuse me?”

[Gamer]

Thing is a lot of imperials really truly believed they were the good guys some probably did some good things even as they simply wanted to protect their community.

[Rocket_Ninja]

Romodi is a pure chad, the general who isnt afraid to command his troops directly in the battlefield like a good old warlord of the ancient times !
I miss Star Wars Legends when we had such details about secondary or background characters giving them importance into the lore (even thoughts sometimes It can be quite messed up)

[underworldguardian]

The fact that even Darth Vader respected Rodomi speaks volumes of this tactical and Strategic ingenuity!

[netrolancer]

Romodi is the example of true Imperial loyalty, sacrificing both body and mind for his planet and the Empire.

[ObiClon]

A man so determined, not even near death, grievous injuries that could bring it, disabilities and old age could (fully) stop him

[snorlaxmunch]

Gets his body pushed to the limits of its endurance from battlefield injuries and still commands a battle to the end. Respect

[dogloversrule]

Don’t forget he is one of the few Star Wars characters to suffer from PTSD, that also makes him stand out

[inductivegrunt]

I honestly didn't expect this chad, I expected someone like Veers. But I sure am glad to learn just how legendary this chief of badassery is.

Edit: This dude lost his hearing and was like "Rip them out and give me cybernetics!" and "Imma lead this operation even from a bacta tank!" And this dude survived the first Death Star and was still ready to kick some ass!

[Gamerafighter]

It’s stuff like this that really makes you appreciate the legends stuff more. The fact that the general was such a badass and inspiring his troops on top of being an expert military strategist who earned Tarkin and even Palpatine’s respect is something awesome.

[commanderjason]

Romodi, after listening to about 10 waves of artillery: "I think I'm going deaf."
His officers: "Then why don't you withdraw from the frontlines, you psychopath?!"
(The Chad) Romodi: "Nah, that's stupid. Just cut out my eardrums and replace them with cybernetics, that'll do well enough."

(a little while later, after *literally blowing up* )
Romodi: "I can't see, and I feel like I'm floating. What happened?"
His officers: "You were blown up by a grenade! You're stuck in a bacta tank BLINDED! NOW will you take a break?"
Romodi: "No, just replace my eyes with cybernetics and describe the battle to me, I'll continue from here."
His officers (justifiably horrified): "WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"
(Fabricator-General) Romodi: *"Even in death I serve the **-Omnissiah-** Emperor."*

[gtrfankereere]

This guy is an absolute chad every military commander should aspire to be like him

[jorikrouwenhorst]

Damn even a 40K commisar would be impressed by this man.

[red]

Romodi doesnt even have to flinch to make someone like Hux scared of him

[sonofjack]

6:44 When you're such a badass even Tarkin is a fan of you. And it is now my headcanon Tarkin got an autograph from Romodi.

[unfortunate]

Iv been watching this channel since it was called "fact free" its good to see you're still making awesome videos

[sword]

i like to think he had such refined reflexes and iron will that his dementia would make him completely incoherent right until battle is joined where he just snap out of it and command like a badass

[kingaxolotl]

It’s always a good day when The Lore Master posts a video
