Clone sacrifices

Lots of clone troopers sacrifice themselves during the war, here is a list of the best clone troopers.


Hevy/Ct-782
Hevy was the best clone of Domino squad.  He sacrificed himself on the Rishi Moon so the Separatists wouldn't take it over.  He told all of the Domino squad including Captain Rex (501st Legion)  and Commander Cody  (212th Legion).  When he got shot in the back, Hevy was horribly wounded.  ''Do we take hostages?'' Battle droid said, ''I don't!'' was Hevy's last words.  He blew up the whole Rishi outpost so many clones wouldn't die.  Hevy was a great man.  He gave his life for his squad, republic and all of the Clone troopers everywhere in the galaxy.

Hardcase
Hardcase was a clone trooper from the 501st Legion.  He teamed up with Captain Rex and the other clones on the planet Umbara to search for the missing escape pods that were launched from General Grievious'  ship.   Grievious' ship was destroyed.  The Umbarans attacked the republic's reinforcements in space.  ARC trooper Fives, 501st trooper Jesse and Hardcase disobeyed orders from Jedi Master Krell.   They went into space to destroy the enemy control ship so it would not stop the clone reinforcements from landing on the planet.

Sadly Hardcase sacrificed himself when he told Fives and Jesse to go without him when he threw his ship's engine at the  power generators.  ''Live to fight another day boys, live to fight another day'' were Hardcase's final words.  He saved many clones from being killed that day.  He was a brave soldier.

Waxer
Waxer was a clone trooper from the 212th Legion.  He and Boil were the best of Commander Cody's company, Ghost Company.  He and Boil were chosen on the planet Ryloth when the separatists invaded the planet.  Sadly on the planet Umbara, Waxer was given the order to attack the enemy Umbarin's who were in the 501st Legion's armor.  But it turned out to be the real 501st Legion.  Sadly Waxer got shot.  He said to captain Rex that Jedi master Krell told them that the enemy's were wearing are armor.  Which is what Krell told Rex also.

Commander Colt
Commander Colt was a ARC trooper of the Galactic republic.  He was chosen with three other brothers to test experimental Phase 2 armor.  He sacrificed himself when there were lots of enemy aqua droids coming at him and his men.  He told all of his men to fall back and he will try to hold the enemy's off.  Sadly he got stabbed in the chest by Assajj Ventress.

The Revenge of Darth Maul

I've seen it on all the websites and all of them say the same thing!  So it's official, Darth Maul is coming back to Star Wars the Clone Wars on Cartoon Network this spring. Later when Maul was hiding  from the Jedi, he found a Zabrack (his species), named Savage Opress who was strong in the force.  As Savage told Maul  that he was his brother, he asked him to teach him the force.   Darth Maul taught Savage the ways of the force.  Now that Maul has cyborg legs (that look just like General Grevious's cyborg legs), no one will stand in his way!  Darth Maul will be seen on Star Wars the Clone Wars on Cartoon Network this Spring.

The weird thing about Star Wars

I've noticed one weird thing about Star Wars -the Ewoks.  On episode VI/ Return of the Jedi, the funniest and weirdest scene was when the Ewoks attacked the Stormtroopers.  This is what I don't get, the Imperial Army is supposed to be the best army in the galaxy, but they can't defeat Man-eating teddiebears! The Ewoks only use spears and rocks, and the Empire has blasters, AT-ST's and the second Death Star, but they can't even win against the little man-eating-teddiebears!  Seriously!  The Empire can build a weapon that can destroy a whole planet!  But they can't build a weapon to wipe out the Ewoks!  Now that's just weird.

Star Wars facts and news

I love Star Wars and wanted to put some facts about it for you guys. I've been looking on the web and saw that Darth Maul is going to be on Star Wars The Clone Wars this spring on Cartoon Network. Also for those who like Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront 2, there is a new game coming out this year, Star Wars Battlefront 3! Thanks to Lucas Arts the new game is hopefully scheduled for January 2012, the latest beingFebruary.

  Also if you didn't know,on the battle of Geonosis which was in episode 2 (Attack of the clones), the color of the clone trooper's armor was their rank:

 White  = Trooper
 Green  = Sargent
 Yellow = Lieutenant/Pilot
 Red  = Captain
 Blue  =Commander

But after that battle there became Legions which had a color to tell which unit they were in. Here are some examples:

Blue armor is the 501st Legion
   Leader: Anakin Skywalker
     Second-in-command: Capitan Rex

Orange armor is the 212th Legion
   Leader:Obi-wan Kenobi
    Second-in-command: Commander Cody

 This Month's ARC trooper is Commander Colt. He has Experimental Phase 2 armor. Sadly he sacrificed himself by sending all the clone troopers back and holding off the enemy Aqua droids on the planet Kamino, which is the home planet of the clone troopers. He was the best of his two other brothers, but he was the only one to survive. Commander Blitz which was the yellow colored armored experimental Phase 2 ARC trooper.

The beginning

The first Battle of the clone wars was on Geonosis. When the clone army arrived at the Geonosion arena the Jedi master Mace Windu led a strike team to Geonosis to rescue several important people including the Obi Wan Kenobi from being destroyed by the three horrible monsters.

The Jedis attempted to surprise the Geonosions, however this failed, as the Jedis were out matched when B1, B2 and Destroyer droids marched right at the Jedi strike team. As the battle went on, many Jedi were lost and so were lots of droids. As the remaining Jedi formed a circle in the center of of the arena. As the Jedi thought they were done for a sound was heard. A LAAT/Gunship arrived with Jedi grand master Yoda. As the Jedi were boarding on the gunships and airlifted out of the arena, Count Dooku, Nute Gunray and Poggle the Lesser all escaped the arena.


 

Now out of the Geonosian arena Jedi and clone troopers head to the desert where the Techno Union Ships and Droid Control ships were trying to escape. Once the Jedi and clone troopers landed on the battlefield each Jedi had a clone trooper come up to them and say,''Sir I have 5 special units awaiting your orders sir''. As every Jedi and there clone troopers were heading to the enemy droid control ships and techno Union ships, Count Dooku had got the Death Star plans and tried to escape on his speeder with two Geonosion fighters guarding him. With Anakin Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi chasing after him. As the two Jedi and the sith lord enter Count Dooku's escape room Dooku fights Anakin, Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi. After awhile Anakin got his arm cut off and Obi-wan got cut in the arm and leg. As all hope was lost, Yoda appeared in the room with his lightsaber drawn to Dooku. As the masters fought, Dooku forced a pillar at the two hopeless Jedi, distracting Yoda and giving the Count a chance to escape. After the huge battle the Republic won.Starting the Clone Wars.

   

The three brothers

The 3 brothers
This is the picture of Commander colt. A ARC trooper in experimental Phase 2 armor. Chosen with two other ARC's to test this armor. You can tell its not phase 2 armor because the helmet still has the flipper which will be replaced. But it's almost ready to be made into a Phase 2 armored clone. Sadly Colt never got to see the new armor because of his sacrafice on the Battle of Kamino when he told the rest of the men to fall back from the enemy Aqua droids. Sadly Colt got stabbed in the chest by Asajj Ventress. Although he never made it till that day. His sacrafice saved many clones from being killed that day. Colt was the best of the three brothers. These three brothers were in charge of the simulations on Kamino along side with Jedi master Shakk Ty and two bounty hunters.




One of the three brothers also wearing experimental phase 2 armor.  He also died on the battle of Kamino when distracted by a clone named 99 when Aqua droids shot one of the three brothers in the back, head and chest.  No one knows the name of this brother.


This is Commander Blitz, one of the three brothers.  Blitz was the only one of the three brothers who survived the battle of Kamino.  He also wore the experimental phase 2 armor.
