I. Am. Crying.

I'm absolutely losing my mind over the fact Tem played the famous rolling-up-the-sleeves scene as if Jango just took a shit. His mind. I love it. Relatable king.

A visual guide to the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic, made by me. 
I used this gifset by skybson and this incredibly thorough and helpful list by propheticfire as references, please check them out!
 This includes clones who made screen appearances in Canon, so it does not include clones from comics, novels, or Legends. 
Tbh I was originally going to make this a gifset and then I thought why not visually categorize the entire GAR for fun so here we are!

I used to believe that being a good soldier meant doing everything they told you. That’s how they engineered us. But we’re not droids. We’re not programmed. You have to learn to make your own decisions. [insp] THE CLONE WARS APPRECIATION WEEK Day Two: Favorite Clone (Captain Rex)

Saw pics of Ashley Eckstein bouncing around in cute new star wars gear and had to draw Ahsoka wearing it too 😅  (except the shoes - they’re mine)

[c0mmander-rex]

They deserve some rest.

I imagine Ahsoka and Fives just off camera. Taking pictures to send to Obi-Wan and keep as embarrassing blackmail material respectively.

Use the sword and shield maneuver!

What does that mean?

We block, he fires!

Basic Guide to Clone Trooper Armour

I don’t know about you guys, but I have a hard time keeping the terms for various parts of clone armour straight in my mind. So, I decided to make this Guide To Armour, to make my life easier for those times I’m drawing or writing stuff and need to reference what this, that or the other piece is called, how it’s put on or taken off. (I’ve also tried to include/come up with some casual or slang terms for some parts because you cannot seriously expect these guys to use the Right Proper Terminology for everything all of the time.)

This is based on the Clone Wars cartoons, because that’s what I know best. Also, this is just the standard armour of regular troopers; if y’all want something about the possible additions/variations that you could have then lmk and I’ll see what I can put together I guess?

Note: a lot of this terminology is taken from medieval knights’ armour. Many terms are originally French; alternative names provided where possible. I did do a bit of research on medieval plate armour, which is the closest thing I can think of to clone armour, but I am by no means an expert so if you have any input or corrections feel free to @ me. Likewise, if you’ve cosplayed as a clone trooper or stormtrooper, I’d very much like to hear about your experience wearing this stuff, how it moves and how it might be similar or different to the “real thing” so to speak.

Figure 1: Clone trooper armour, front view. Kix got chosen for this because he’s a vain little bastard and loves to be painted. (ETA: this diagram now comes with a second, funnier version.)

→ Star Wars Atlas (2009) - Galactic Regions → Interesting notes:  Location of many notable planets, the layers of galatic regions → This is a selection of maps showing the sectors of Star Wars’ galaxy, radiating outward from the center.  While no longer strictly canon (as of April 25, 2014) it still gives a good idea of what planets are where.  It can be especially helpful if you want to find a planet that’s nowhere near Coruscant to strand your characters on or if you want to find a more densely populated world near the center of everything!  Or if you just want to know how close a specific planet is to the center of the galaxy. ✦ Deep Core:
