The Clone Wars

The most powerful beings in the galaxy fight to the death. Last one standing is chosen to be cloned for the Republic military. The clones eventually realize their power is too great and take over the galaxy. Rebellions rise up and have to fight them.

i do know that Papapalpatine used a bunch of known in the expanded universe after he got core'd in EP6

I remember when Ep4 first came out, and they had promotional material with the name OB-1 Kenobi on it. I really think that this was originally what George had in mind, and I wonder why he didn't go through with it.

clones*, fuck me

>clones are made as dispensible units for Palpatine's new army
>get replaced for no particular reason by humans a few years later despite having the cloning facilities still available
What did George mean by this?

This.

That he's a fucking hack.

I can't and I doubt anyone could
clones were expensive and a trained militia it's better because it's produce new jobs, the rebels weren't a threat

OMG wtf, this is unheard of and a completely retarded concept. Like wtf would he false flag his own planet to gain power from an artificially created crisis, this has literally never happened in human history EVER. George Lucas is a fucking hack!
t. average RLMdrone.

Basically that episode of Dr Who where the two alien species have been fighting each other for generations, but because the combat is so deadly and they clone new generations multiple times a day, the war has only been going on for a week and their entire history and mythos is nothing but chinese whispers.

OB-1

They were alphabetically named

Were the Jedi around for 1000 years or 1000 generations?

because clones are not reliables.
one subliminal order can turn them against you, that's scary even for sheev

this
replacing clones with humans makes sense because the empire needs to produce jobs to keep people happy and under control.

It Sheev is one of the most likable characters. You can't cleave the Sheev.

that a 12yo idea lol

Because Clones were raised on a heavy dose of honor, devotion and duty. After serving and dying for the Space jew, even them would revolt and turn on them, hence the reason for a reduced lifespan.
>Chip in their brain making them obedient.
That was not even necessary. Any good soldier can learn a set of 70-ish orders.

Watching the Prequels using the point of view that Sheev is the good guy and the Jedis are a bunch of ill-commanded goofs, the movies are a lot more enjoyable.

It's George's original idea for the clone wars.

Maybe the cloning process was too expensive compared to training people?

1000 generations definitely. Ben says it in a New Hope. I think Chancellor Palpatine fucks up in one of the prequels and says 1000 years even though all the knights of the old republic takes place a couple thousand years before the movies.

>You have 30 seconds to come up with a better premise for the clone wars
The clones are the bad guys.

The End.

Sith clone Jedi and ancient sith to use as a new army, Sith clone takes over

Why would this be a thing when droids have been shown to be every bit as capable as people when it comes to manual labor?

and Yoda is like 994 years old and he wasn't there at the start

Droids are probably a lot more expensive.

1000 generations. The Republic is about 20,000 years old canonically.

A set of identical wars break out all over the galaxy. There are no clones involved. The Jedi try to investigate but find themselves doing identical investigations on each planet.

When I was a kid, I thought they were cloning the Jedi. Like a bunch of Ben Kenobis and Anakins running around with Yoda overseeing as a general.

I don't remember Hayden looking like a fuckboy twink.

That's a weird screengrab, he chin isn't that pointy

The official explanation is that they lost access to the cloning facility on Kamino, or it was destroyed

why is Kamino the only planet that can clone people? I don't know

Clones were more because the republic didn't have an army at hand.

Narcisistic piece of shit got hold ancenstral clonning technology, travel to distant planet and create a planet composed only of clones of himself, decide the world is not enough and go on to take over the galaxy.

>12
Try ~40, son

Looking through the film, I'm starting to think there are actually two Anakins at play. The normal Hayden one of course, whom you mostly see, and another very similar guy with a slightly pointier chin.

Hayden is a cute.

I prefer it as a one-off line. It's obviously a significant enough conflict that Luke knew of it, and given the timing of everything probably had something to do with the rise of the Empire, but otherwise it doesn't matter. It's certainly not anything we needed to see, much like everything else in the prequels.

Making the clones a bunch of Boba Fetts was pretty lazy, though.

Not the only ones, just the best and the only ones who can do it on mass scale

Why would Clones all have polynesian accents? Language isn't cloned.

Toy sales m8.

They don't.
In the show and republic commando almost all of them have unique voices.

>Making the clones a bunch of Boba Fetts was pretty lazy, though.
Why make one clone? Why not make a series of clones? it would be cool if one line of clones were all Jerry Seinfelds.

"What's the deal with the Emperor? Why does he let the rebellion get away with it?"

Watch the first prequel, they have polynesian accents. Thats just retarded.

Cody, Rex, the commander and delta squad all have different voices.

Then how the fuck could Luke know what the clone wars are but not know what a Jedi is? All these ideas are stupid. George's basic idea is the best, his execution just sucked.

Now this is podracing

> galaxy gets attacked by female clone of Draco Malfoy
> She sexually bullies the Jedi, making them suck her toes, provide cunnilingus during her period, and ball smashing
> One Jedi makes a run for being the new dom of the pack

Wanna know whats even cheaper than growing a soldier in a vat until he's big enough to fight? Conscripting already fully grown men and forcing them to fight.

During the entire Clones Wars, the standard droid grunt has never been any kind of threat.

Nah, I grew up watching the 3D one

they really are useless

that's gonna be great

LITERALLY war and peace

oh yes, a revisit of the Bigger Luke theory. Lucas really was a genius. Each stanza rhymes with the next one.

I think the Prequel concept of the Clone Wars was fine. Maybe we could have seen more of it in the actual movies.

skip to 11:11 and there's your explanation

I was starting to think no one would get it

Anakin and Anachin

I desire to put a seedling in that tummy and have it grow up to be a gentlemanly son.

Making the entire clone war happen off-screen except for the first battle and the final battles really was an odd decision

Bigger Luke is shit

Kino.

There are no clones in the first prequel :)

Clones are extremely expensive and also take 10 full years to train. Not only that but they were specifically bred to fight the Clone Wars and nothing after.

Conscripts were designed to keep the peace. It makes zero sense to continue having Clones and no wars to fight. you have highly skilled and trained soldiers just patrolling the outer rim?

In the first draft of ESB Lando was a clone. So an army of Lando stormtroopers fighting droids and slaying puss and chugging malt liquor
Oh and Dave Filoni was aborted by his mother and never existed
Clone wars saved

Leave Filoni alone, his only crime was loving his orange waifu too much

The Old Republic has instituted slavery and the Separatist's promote economic freedom out of self-interest because they have a droid workforce which causes Anikan to have mixed feelings for what he is fighting for.

Actually a very good idea to have the actual citizens of the Empire keep the peace. It improves trust in the government when just about everyone knows people who served in the army instead of the government just having a faceless army of clones with no connection to the citizens.

Galaxy unites under scheming Force-empowered politician (AND his supporters, who he later purges once no longer useful) against massive clone army threat. Palpatine does not engineer the conflict, it is entirely organic and he merely rides it into power. Quick cloning tech is soon outlawed and the precedent of a galactic army made up of disposable nonces is established.

Like Skyrim with laser-guns.

That's exactly what the Empire did.

Every citizen of the Republic gets cloned. Two Republics fight until one of everyone remains.

wait
what?

woah

Based Alex Jones poster.

whats your point

They're pretty far outside of the galaxy, don't you think?

They're like, several galaxy-diameter lengths away from it

How the fuck did they get all the way out there

maybe they're looking at our galaxy, since they're a long time ago and far far away

galaxies are a lot farther apart from eachother than that

I know it's in vogue to shit on RLM, but they basically had the perfect idea anyway
>Clones are the bad guys, not really any droid army bullshit
>Republic conscripts a shitload of people to fight for them
>The resources of the Republic become more drained as a result
>Politics become more fierce and chaotic
>Palpatine is able to seize this power using the chaos that ensues
This also helps fix the shitty plothole that got written off, where clones were supposed to be the predecessors of stormtroopers

There's no reason the conscripted Republic troops can't be badasses anyway, if anything it'd give them more flavor as they'd be real people instead of throwaways.

A galaxy-wide Megacorp has grown disenfranchised with the laws of the republic and genetically manufactures an extremely powerful and loyal soldier whose only desire is to live and die by the sword. After achieving the perfect specimen, it is cloned continuously to create mercenaries for hire as well as the megacorporation’s own private army. As their numbers grow, a bumbling and divided republic is forced to surrender its military powers to the only non-consumerist force that can stand against it, the Jedi. However, their image is eventually corrupted by a sneaky chancellor and their power is transferred to the man responsible for this corruption as he makes the Jedi unnecessary via his uncanny ability to unite the divided republic into a total-war manufacturing machine that is able to overpower the megacorp.

well, pack it up then.

This is exactly what happens though, it's just Droids instead of evil clones.

>This also helps fix the shitty plothole that got written off, where clones were supposed to be the predecessors of stormtroopers
Firstly, that's not a plothole and it in fact happens. The Clonetroopers were the face of the "Good guys" for the Republic. It makes sense the Empire would adopt the basic aesthetic of the heroes of the Republic to keep the peace for their Empire.

>There's no reason the conscripted Republic troops
Canonically, the Republic had a shitload of conscripts/planetary military groups.

Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, other galaxies were closer.

Maybe the real clones were the friends we made along the way.

well shit

>get replaced for no particular reason by humans a few years later despite having the cloning facilities still available
Logistics. The problem about many fictional supersoldier programs is that they require taking kids and feeding them until adulthood unlike taking an already adult person. That costs years of living expenses for each trooper. Next, they need repeated samples from Jango Fett once in a while according to AotC. So Jango being dead means they can't make the same clones as before, they need an entirely new batch. Finally, according to pic related, they didn't stop. I have no idea if pic related is canon or not but it looks like they truly got a different batch.

>This also helps fix the shitty plothole that got written off, where clones were supposed to be the predecessors of stormtroopers
What plot hole is that? The Republic became the Empire, so their Clone troopers become Stormtroopers.

that bothered me too

see Chances they are the first developed life in the universe, so galaxies used to be really close.

well that's bullshit. Why did they never go to those other galaxies then?

Too hot, theirs is the first one that cooled enough to sustain life.

Another throw away line that could be expanded is when Luke says to Yoda "you cant die." Yoda replies "strong am I in the force, but not that strong" soooooo was there a mega OP force dude at one time that couldn't be killed my normal means?

>Star Wars literally takes place BILLIONS of years ago
somehow I never once considered this, despite the "long long ago"

I agree. Remake the Original Trilogy.

Yoda's making a joke there

no, because he would still be alive then

Yes, actually.

That makes no sense. The Senate approved the use of a clone army specifically because they were a bunch of child soldiers who the senators weren't representing. They worried their constituents didn't want to get drafted into a big easily avoidable war.

Not that guy but wars can escalate and eventually necessitated things they don't want. With Sheev leading both sides, there's many ways he can make the war go longer.

maybe they did but you were never told
Star Wars is a decades spanning, galactic wide epic story of a few boring people and also han solo for a while
