Why this Epic Space Battle Shouldn't be Forgotten by SW Fans - The First Battle of Geonosis

I never knew there was a space battle, I thought the whole CIS fleet was grounded and the Republic Acclamators all just landed. So, besides Mace Windu's mission to destroy the Anti Orbital cannons, this is all new information for me and I couldn't be happier. Space battles are some of the best Star Wars lore and I'm always glad to learn more about space battles I've never heard of.

Glad that you guys gave a shout-out to Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter. That was an underrated Star Wars game. This also reminds me of the forgotten parts of the Battle of Naboo that were represented in both Star Wars: Battle for Naboo and Star Wars: Starfighter respectively.

6:10 oh yes, Adi Gallia became one of my fav Jedi because of Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter

Geetsly's the only Star Wars channel to consistently make great video's about interesting subjects. Best YT channel!!

“ Given all the stories I’ve heard about Geonosis I was always considered lucky that my unit was not directly involved in heavy fighting that day. Some of the real fighting happened later that night we withdrew a large portion of our forces from the planet. A handful of Separatist frigates sent super battle droids to drain our manpower and supplies and see how they work in close quarters, which was quite effectively. The larger battle was something that I couldn’t even imagine, made real.” -CS/CT-8711-12 “Cheng”, Captain and Scout of the 442nd Siege Battalion

Ship next to the main characters: ight imma head out

Love the battle of geonosis and the second battle of geonosis l wish we seen this epic space battle in star wars

If Count Dooku intentionally sabotaged the Battle of Geonosis, why would he call for Saboath Squadron to come and bomb the Jedi and the Republic forces? Sure, he called them in to distract them. But the problem is that he has no idea how will this turned out. If it ended up resulting in the Separatists' victory, Darth Sidious will lose his face as Chancellor Palpatine of the Republic. And he is NOT going to be happy about this and most likely strangle Dooku through their holo-communication just to keep him in line.

The transports are taking damage! It will be a terrible tragedy if any of the transports are lost!

I never knew about this battle, but it makes total sense. A planet as important as this would totally have a defense fleet, and catching them off guard also makes sense. As a quick aside, why did you add video stills of Imperial and Rebel battles? 😅 If it's due to the lack of available imagery, a potential option is to slow down your transitions so you need less footage. Drachinifel uses a similar still format, and he changes once a paragraph, instead of once every 5 to 10 seconds, unless he is listing off a bunch of ships in rapid succession. EDIT: The other option is to add playthrough footage (or stills of it) of Jedi Starfighter. 😁

"Good thing those bugs can't aim"

One thing thats always bothered me about the Battle of Geonosis is that, aside from rescuing the Jedi currently in the Arena, the Republic Fleet should've had a few ships dedicated to a Base Delta Zero on the planet surface. Wouldn't have needlessly sacrificed so many lives, Jedi and Clone alike, had they just bombarded the hell out of the planet surface. Sure, leave a few miles around the dropzone in order open, to ensure nothing gets too close to the Arena. As soon as the Jedi were recovered, then that's only one more spot they can annihilate in the process. Would've saved a lot of trouble.

Adi Gallia and her Padawan pretty much held off a biological weapon bombardment with the assistance of a pirate group. Only two Padawans survived Geonosis, but I thought Adi Gallia's Padawan survived as well....am I wrong? Gotta play Jedi Starfighter again to find out

Early EU depictions of the GAR's spacefleet before Genndywars gave them the V-19 Torrent and RotS gave them the ARC and V-Wing and further stuff showed off classic Y-Wings and the clone Headhunter were silly. The Republic Comics said they had NO clone starfighters and were entirely reliant on Jedi, Jedi Starfighter had them relying mostly on Nym's people and a couple jedi, the Boba Fett kid books had a "Cord-class" fighter with a single laser that never got any art, the Pandemic Clone Wars games had swarms of Jedi Starfighters presumably with clone pilots.

Geetsly is one of the best Clone Wars/Star Wars channels on YouTube!!

Jedi starfighter was my first star wars game, thank you for bringing it to the forefront

I played Jedi Starfighter! Been thinking about playing it again, except this time emulating it on PC.

SO many parts of that battle one does not see occur from the Clone Wars movie

I guess Tarkin didn’t want a third one…

I loved Jedi Starfighter as a kid, shout out to my dude Nym for showing up right on time to get revenge on saboath squadron for destroying his home
