During the Clone Wars, Twi’Lek Jedi General, Bink Utrila led a squad of purple painted
Clone Troopers into an eerie ancient Lost Temple that had been carved out thousands
of years prior.
Inside, something extremely mysterious happens.
One of her Clone Troopers, believes that he has discovered his deep connection to the
force.
So, I’m going to break down the fully story of the Clone Trooper who believed he was force
sensitive and the tragic ending to the mission.

The story begins on the moon Draay 2, which you might remember if you’ve read the Knights
of the Old Republic comic series.
Jedi General Bink Utrila looks inside of her glowing Jedi holocron, to discover the location
of the temple that they are looking for.
General Utrila confirms to her loyal clone soldiers that the temple should be located
just above the nearby hill.
As they arrive at the edge of the hill, Commander Law, the second in command of the squad, informs
the General that they are in the right location.
As they look down over the incredibly deep ravine, they spot the hidden Jedi temple,
with its entrance carved into the wall of the mountain.
The Clones and the Jedi then quickly get their grapple ropes out, and lower themselves down
to the entrance of the temple.
General Utrila tells her men that if the holocron is correct about the location of the temple,
it might also be correct about an ancient sith artifact that is rumoured to be hidden
there.
According to Jedi myth, an ancient sith relic known as the Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger
was hidden inside the temple, and was able to protect its wearer from any physical harm
whatsoever.
General Utrila then gives her men clear instructions, that the mysterious artifact must be returned
to Coruscant immediately if it is found, or if it can’t be returned safely, it must
be destroyed on the spot so that the separatists cannot get their hands on it.
Trooper Glitch then responds to his General Claiming to have seen the temple before in
force visions.
Clone Trooper Cannon sarcastically responds to Glitch, telling him that he got the information
from their mission briefing and not a force vision.
You can definitely see why the other boys call him Glitch.
The General then asks her Padawan, Rennax, to help her use the force to push open the
large, stone doors.
Eventually, the combined force power of the two Jedi begins to crack the brittle stone
away from the door, allowing the entire squad to enter.
Master Utrilla and her apprentice then reach out through the force, again hoping to locate
a hidden entrance or doorway to continue their search.
As the two Jedi are busy sweeping the area through the force, Trooper Cannon asks Horns
what the story behind the purple markings on his helmet are.
Horns tells him that the symbol on his head is the symbol of the Mandalorian Death watch.
Cannon already knows that the symbol represents Death Watch, but questions why Horns would
choose to put the emblem of a group of maniacs on his helmet.
Horns quickly responds, telling Cannon that the Death Watch are the most dangerous Mandalorian
warriors in the Galaxy, and that he is one of the deadliest clones of a great Mandalorian
warrior.
This whole squad of Clones is absolutely awesome, they’re all a bit crazier than the others
in small ways.
The two troopers then look over at Glitch, who claims he can feel the secret temple entrance
through the force.
Cannon then turns to horns and tells him that he heard Glitch only just barely passed training
through the Citadel challenge, but since Clones were weapons, even a faulty weapon can be
useful during war.
A loud click then rings through the echoey Jedi Temple, as Glitch warns his squad that
he accidentally stepped in something.
As Glitch steps back from the pressure plate he just activated, a large Guard Droid is
awoken from its thousand years of slumber and begins to wreak havoc on the Clones.
Glitch and his brothers begin to open fire at the droid, but the massive mechanical creature
slams its fist down to the floor, creating a large clank.
Glitch then complains that his blasters aren’t doing anything against the massive droid,
but Horns then rushes in, promising to show his brothers why he wears the symbol of the
death watch on his helmet.
He then rapidly throws a blast charge into the core of the droid, leading it to blast
into a massive, raging fireball.
Horns is extremely happy with himself, laughing maniacally as the blasts ring out behind him.
Unfortunately, Horn’s blast charge was not enough to take down the monstrous droid, leading
it to stand up and tower above the squad once more
As the Jedi move back into action to deal with the droid, Cannon notices that glitch
is holding his hand out in front of him and asks, “what in the universe are you doing”.
Glitch tells him that he is trying to use the force.
Lieutenant Law quickly tells him to stop being an idiot, and to pick up his blaster and continue
firing on the droid.
The two Jedi then quickly realize that in order to take down this droid, they’re going
to have to think like Jedi.
They realize that they must do something only a Jedi could do, but a Sith would never think
to do.
They must use the force to defeat the droid, but not to attack.
This strategy successfully deactives the mechanism inside the droid, finally stopping it from
attacking.
General Utrila urgently asks Glitch which stone triggered the droid, and he panics,
but does eventually remember which one it was, allowing the Jedi to mark it off so it
can’t be triggered again.
Glitch then tells Cannon “See, I was heading in the right direction”, to which Cannon
responds, “that’s a coincidence glitch.
Your only talent is for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
The Jedi then discover the second puzzle in the temple.
They must place the blade of their lightsaber into the correct opening to reveal their path.
If the lightsaber is placed into the wrong opening in the wall, the whole temple will
collapse and rock will be brought down on all of their heads.
General Utrila is confident, but cautious in her ability because she had studied these
puzzles before, at the Jedi temple.
The general then places her green blade into one of the holes, before nervously waiting
for it to open.
The door does eventually rumble open, allowing all of the Clones to come through.
As they are walking through the spider-web filled hallways of the deep Jedi temple, Master
Utrila tells her Padawan to use the force to sense any upcoming danger.
Padawan Rennax asks her master how she can use the force to sense danger, and as she
is doing this, you can see Glitch trying to listen in on the conversation, in hopes of
learning how to use the force.
Glitch then enters the final room of the temple, where he is about to tell the others to wait
for further orders from the General, but instead they come across a brightly glowing column.
Cannon touches one of the glowing objects, causing hundreds of crawling creatures to
awaken and swarm the Clones.
Glitch then says he senses the dark side at work, but his brothers quickly tell him that
it isn’t a premonition, because it’s happening right now.
Underneath where the sleeping creatures were, a bright beam of light then shines up to the
ceiling of the temple, revealing the ancient Jedi artifact, a gauntlet.
Glitch is overwhelmed by the bugs as they crawl all over him, but he places his hand
out, and to his surprise, the bugs are blasted away from him.
He thanks the force for saving him, but when he looks up, he realizes that it is just Padawan
Rennax teasing him.
Master Utrila then uses the force to hold the bugs back as she grabs the gauntlet, but
the moment her fingers touch it, she becomes extremely worried, and orders her men to fall
back immediately.
The Clones manage to fight back the bugs as they fall back, but when the General returns,
she reveals that when she touched the ancient gauntlet, she was overwhelmed by the power
of the dark side.
Padawan Rennax and the clones hastily seal up the gauntlet in the chamber, but Master
Utrila is left haunted by the visions of the dark side that she had just witnessed.
Because of this Rennax offers to take the first watch for her master overnight, and
chooses to take Glitch with her.
As the two are guarding the first watch of the area, 5 shadowy figures appear on the
horizon.
The figures quickly light up, with jetpacks propelling them forward.
It is Pre Vizsla and the Death watch.
Vizsla and Bo Katan take the young Padawan hostage, but quickly notice the Death Watch
symbol on the helmet of horns.
Pre Vizsla offers the chance for Horns to join the Deathwatch that he looks up to so
highly, but on the condition that he kills his Jedi General.
Horns is definitely conflicted, but in the end, he doesn’t have it in him to kill his
beloved general.
Pre Vizsla is then about to blast Horns right through the skull for being a pretender, but
not before Glitch appears out of nowhere, pulling out the luminous green lightsaber
that he had recovered from his General.
Glitch and Pre Vizsla then have a massive fight, with the Darksaber coming up against
Glitches' green blade.
Glitch surprisingly does actually get a few hits in, but Pre Vizsla of course comes out
on top and defeats Glitch.
Glitch then gets back to his feet hoping to continue the fight, but he clumsily activates
the pressure plate from earlier, reactivating the ancient jedi droid.
This massive distraction allows the Clone Troopers to overpower the Deathwatch and free
Padawan Rennax, but Vizsla and Glitch continue their fierce fight.
Glitch eventually pulls a trick up from his sleeve, and activates the lightsaber puzzle
from earlier.
Of course, he places his green blade into the wrong slot, causing the temple to begin
to crumble into pieces.
The Death Watch quickly retreat with their jetpacks and the Clone Squad with the Jedi
are able to escape with only moments to spare.
Tragically, the Crumbling temple catches up with Glitch, causing him to plunge into a
deep cavern below, while the rest of his brothers escape.
The Jedi and his brothers pay their respects for the fallen Glitch, saying he was a terrible
Clone but a great man.
Because of the tragedy, Padawan Rennax chooses to leave the Jedi to honor Glitches sacrifice
and to reunite with her parents.
Masate Utrilia is saddened but fully accepts the decision of her apprentice.
The to end of the story, we get another shocking twist.
Glitch managed to place the ancient Gauntlet onto his arm, saving his life from the fall.
Now Glitch is left in this distant cavern with no way of contacting anybody or escaping.
He is probably going to be stuck alone down there for the rest of his life.
Very tragic and eerie ending to his amazing story.
So that was the story of the clone Trooper who thought he was force sensitive.
Thanks so much for watching, really hope you enjoyed.
Cheers guys, hope to see you in the next one!
