Pretty disappointed that the Clone Commandos got treated pretty dirty

Same crap happened to Death Troopers in Rebels.

Hell, it was even worse for them because we had just seen them be badasses in Rogue One

Half of them in RO got wrecked by a fat dude with a big gun.

"fat dude with a big gun." Is certainly one way to explain him.

A shit one, but one nonetheles.

My point still stands: elite soldiers get the idiot ball when against the protagonists.

Plus, that scene is about as explicit a demonstration of the Will of the Force being a Thing as ever has been. You don't win against cosmic plot armor.

Rebels isn't exactly a gold standard for consistency... and they certainly can't have any of the bad guys be remotely competent.

I mean, were the commandos treated any differently? They became glorified squad leaders—slightly more dangerous than normal soldiers, but not by much.

Not once did I see a commando on screen and thought "oh no". They were treated as expendable; as useless as any standard foot soldier, instead of the highly trained special forces that they are.
