So Obi Wan comes to this unknown planet with clone makers and they tell him they were waiting for him and someone ordered these clones 10 years ago

That someone is some jedi that died

The jedi council tells Obi Wan no one ordered these clones

They then proceed to use them to fight the Trade federation.

Hence I have these question:

>Why does no one question these clones origin after that?

>Why do the clone makers say there's 200,000 and 1mil more coming, isn't that very low numbers for the star wars universe?

>Why did they use some fat mexican as a clone base?

So Dooku or Sheev ordered the clones and was going to use them as Stormtroopers all along?

Why did he let them fight for Obi Wan's side then? he could have just invaded the Jedi wtih them from the start.
>>
>>63287670
They only had a very small army of clones originally, it wasn't until the Republic seen their effectiveness that they ordered and equiped far more.
>>
>>63287670
Sheev needed to stage a war to receive senate powers. He basically operated both sides to weaken the Galatic Senate and Jedi, then made us of the troopers on top of that a way to eliminate Jedi and instil his government.
>>
>>63287670

Sheev needed time to create a rift between Anakin and Obi-Wan + the Jedi.

Ordering the Jedi to be immediately wiped out as soon as he gained an immense army and emergency powers would also be extremely suspicious.

Because the whole Clone War was a setup to create the Empire and wipe out the Jedi. The Clones, and their whole military supply train, were created to give the Republic an army to fight with in that war. The Jedi ranks would be bled, and the office of the Supreme Chancellor would be given ever more emergency powers until the time was right for the clones to turn on the Jedi and annihilate them.

They have a chip embedded in their brain to control them whenever Orders are dispatched (e.g. Order 66), this is explored in the later seasons of Clone Wars.

It's pretty stupid yeah, yet another reason to rag on the prequels...in the show they go so far as to find out its a trap (the clones themselves are part of a trap) but they 'play along' because they need the clones. Honestly I think more Jedi would have opposed continuing war and seen the futility and cyclical nature of the clone wars.

It makes the Jedi council and the Jedi in General seem like a bunch of dumbasses, and sidious as just too god damn OP......the universe is too large for it be be meshed together coherently, more forethought would have been needed yet of course even the OT had flaws so it's no surprise there's retcon nine needed every step of the way in the prequels to make it halfway decent

Regardless of the fact that I think the original idea of what a Jedi is In new hope is way more principled and skilled than what we see in the prequels....the movies and the show paint a picture of the possibility of a great society and people falling because of minor flaws and a persistent elite self interested group..the nature of war and politics..all in all a great metaphor and tale.

I think clone tech was a secret that only those alien dudes knew. Which is why Stormtroopers eventually started recruiting mercs instead.

>Why does no one question these clones origin after that?

Plot convenience. George wasted an entire 1/3rd of the Prequel trilogy with Episode I as it doesn't relate to the story being told except in a really minor tangential way. If you had started the clone wars under dubious circumstances in Episode I you could spend Episode II with the Jedi trying to uncover the plot and Palpatine being a real piece of shit by thwarting their efforts in a darker middle chapter that plays out more like a spy movie with Jedi and Sith. Then the 3rd movie is what it is, the trap is sprung and the sith take over because the Jedi were actively prevented from learning the truth. Instead the Jedi are rendered completely incompetent and stupid by some magical dark-side intelligence draining power that Sheev has because there's no time in the movies to do otherwise.

>Why do the clone makers say there's 200,000 and 1mil more coming, isn't that very low numbers for the star wars universe?

It's super-low numbers in the star wars universe and would be a real problem except the clones are fighting the most inept robot-soldier to ever be put in cinema and each clone is worth 100 regular battle droids. God this is stupid.

>Why did they use some fat mexican as a clone base?

I have no idea why they chose that actor, but I'm more annoyed that the -best- bounty hunter in the galaxy willingly had his face put on millions of galactic troops. It just seems like an excuse to shoehorn boba fett into the plot.

Also did anyone else notice that in Episode II Yoda literally says "Begun the clone wars have" like right after the first fight. Isn't that like the Kaiser of Germany in 1914 saying "And so begins World War I" It's not like both sides had clones where people are saying "these will be known as the clone wars" It's clones vs. robots and the reasons the CIS broke off is due to trade bickering, why isn't it known as the "Trade Wars".

Money =/= Power, the US is interesting as a case study for power. Yes it's the superpower...but it's power dilutes by the year. It tried Vietnam and the guerilla warfare was something it couldn't counter, no hard targets, and enemies that just hit and run easily in the brush.....Then 9/11 happens and 10 years and 10 trillion dollars down the hole later we still failed our 'mission' (was there even a point going to war anyway?), point being they sure as hell didn't win, and the enemy is still alive and well and even multiplied...this insurgency and guerilla warfare tactics are something the US....the primer military power in the world can't defeat and so it's clear we have to rethink what military power truly means in the face of modern guerilla tactics...the answer being its useless against it and if ANY non superpower country had a bin laden tier insurgency,...it'd be bankrupt and overrun before a decade was up

The only thing that matters between America and Russia are the nukes. If it got to the point where they were fighting an actual hot war and not some proxy conflict like afghanistan the nukes would start flying and considering they each have over 10,000 of them traditional weapons are pointless.

However America would probably get off more nukes than Russia due to the fact that America has a very solid fleet of missile submarines, most of which the Russian's can't find. The Russians have like 2 and they're old and noisy as fuck.

Clones really had no reason to love the Jedi they were sequestered monks that were content using a bunch of slaves to fight and die having never experienced life.

Some EU writers have tried to apply star-trek like sci-fi logic to the series and it just doesn't mesh. Star Wars is firmly space fantasy and journeys take as long as they need to to fit the particular story being told. Someone needs to get from Hoth to coruscant in 10 minutes? Done. Someone needs to get from Hoth the coruscant but to build drama it's going to take them a week? Done.

they have trade routes because space is full of junk and you can't just go from point a to point b. there is no range limit but further you jump the harder it is to calculate. beyond accessible there is usually nothing on those worlds and no one is going to just give space ships for nothing. fule is not spoken of but does exist. if range and accessibility were not a factor than han solos bragging about how he found the shortest path would be stupid
>>
>>63288840
It's hilarious because the commandos had a cameo in the end of one random episode. Then later on an in-depth episode focusing on one of them.....and THEN yet another episode of one in Rebels.

So they're quite canon. As well as their exemplary battle tactics that were undoubtedly the best show of expertise in battle for a clone in the entire series.

>>63288696

Not one to speak of, no. The galaxy had largely been at peace for centuries, one of the longest prolonged peaces in its history (there had been scuffles, of course - Mandalore had recently been glassed in a civil war - but nothing that ravaged whole sectors of space), so the formal military had long been disbanded. The Jedi, the Senate Guard, and the Judicial Forces were essentially the only armed forces the Republic itself had, and none of them were properly an army or navy, but rather peacekeeping apparatus.

>>63288840

Nukes are psychological weapons at this point used for clout case in point North Korea. Iran.

This is because there is no winning a nuclear war if one side fired against another they both would not only be utterly annihilated and the amount of nuclear weapons needed to do that would be enough to fuck over the rest of life on earth....so no nuclear weapons will ever be used to "win anything" it's a suicide pact. A suicide button. And as such is simply a weapon of fear that no rational actor will take seriously...as were starting to see with North Korea (but most states are still scared)
>>
They literally address this in The Clone Wars. Master Sifo Dyas was best friends with Dooku, who ended up betraying him, killing him, and taking his identity to go and order the Clone army for Sidious. They used his authority to secretly order the clones and had the Order 66 control chips implanted in them.
>>
>>63289208
>>63289254
Troops are trained to obey orders. If news breaks that a group of crazy monks that most people know nothing about tried to seize power over some religious dispute then most people would just say "Oh they are breaking the law". The troops would then follow their orders because they are loyal to the Republic not to the Jedi. The only way to remove extremely powerful Force users would be to kill them. You can't really capture them.

A chip doesn't make sense because what happens after? Are all their brain functions now controlled by the chip? Or do they go "Oh woops how did my finger get on the trigger and why is there a smoking hole in my Generals head?"
>>
>>63289026
>Clones really had no reason to love the Jedi

Remember, the Clones and the Jedi worked together almost exclusively. Other Republic forces (gunned-up Judicials, Senate Commandos) worked separately from the Jedi forces, only rarely crossing paths with each other. They lived together, ate together, fought together, and died together. The Jedi, with few exceptions (such as Master Pong Krell, who despised the clones and sent them to their deaths with abandon, forcing a unique pre-Order 66 instance of clones turning on their Jedi general), treated them as individuals, respected them, put their faith in them, called them by the names they'd chosen for themselves rather than their numbers, even let them customize their armor and equipment as they saw fit. Even if they had little reason to love the Jedi at the start of the war, by the end of it, when Order 66 was given, they had no reason not to.
>>
>>63289299
I enjoyed force unleashed even though the power levels are so not canon and DBZ level. It's a now non anon explanation for how the rebels got their start...which I like slightly better than the origin the rebels show is working towards.

Oh rebels is okay, it's just a bit episodic I. The beginning but now it's starting to pick up steam. Obviously the animated clone wars is worth your time, the whole 2 seasons are just 2 hours and it's marvelous short 5 minute vignettes.

Batllefront 2 had a neat story from the perspective of troopers. Star Wars bounty hunter was fun and had an okay story that led up to him being the template for the clone army.

OH

top of your list, make Jedi outcast and Jedi academy. Excellent gameplay and pretty good story. As well as a multiplayer community that's still alive (the gameplay is that good). Outcast's story mode is fun and has some hard puzzles , and academy has a neat choose your missions and more direct action feel that slightly improved
>>
>>63289373
>Troops are trained to obey orders.

Legal orders. They're supposed to question or refuse obviously illegal ones (such as orders to commit what they know are war crimes). "Merely" having contingency orders wouldn't be enough to ensure the Jedi would be destroyed - they and the Clones were too close, and Palpatine was not so naive as to think they would not grow to be so when planning the army. He could not risk battalions of his clones choosing to side with the Jedi against orders if they felt "their" Jedi was no traitor, or taking them alive for trial. He needed to ensure they WOULD kill even Jedi they'd spent years fighting alongside, without hesitation or question - because if they hesitated, the Jedi might escape, and if they questioned, they might rebel.
>>
>>63289492
Except for the fact that Jedi were still going against their own moral principles by utilizing a slave army that had no chance to live any sort of life other than one of pain and struggle. Anybody that knew their personal creed could see that except for the Jedi themselves. By the time the war was over and Order 66 given, the Jedi had destroyed their own moral code. Clones knew that there was no other life for them than to fight this war at the behest of their monk generals. Sure some of the troops higher up may have gotten to know their generals and grown fond of them but that doesn't mean that the rank and file would. The rank and file are used to being given orders and completing them. Some crazy religious dispute would not affect them. All they know is someone lower on the chain of command tried to seize power in a treasonous fashion and so they had to be removed from command in the only way that a powerful force user could be.

I really recommend reading the Republic Commando series because it seems like they went an entirely different direction with interactions between clones and Jedi. I don't know maybe I am just butthurt because I am rereading the series and am sad that it got canceled to make way for the show.

>>63289677
It was legal because to the best of everyone's knowledge the Jedi had made a power play to seize control of the government.

And what happens after the chip goes off do they explain that in the series? It just seems that if you flick a kill this person switch in someones brain they would wonder why they had and if they found out they wouldn't just accept it like it was nothing.

My assumption is that, at the point in time of the prequels, the Jedi have absolutely no faith in their own ability to resist the Dark Side and throw themselves at the beck and call of the Republic to never let themselves even have a chance of being self-serving. Republican citizens don't wan't to fight a war for a government that allows anyone rich enough to build an army to do so as long as they aren't currently using it to infringe on the Republic's territory, and both groups of people are more than ok with letting Palpatine think for them.

But more about this should have been shown. Why couldn't the Republic raise a volunteer army? Why were the Jedi cool with a slave race being bred to do nothing but fight and die? How did the war affect them and did anyone besides Obi have second thoughts about the whole thing? Why was Sheev able to get the entire Republic to hate its ancient protectors who were, not only fighting a war on its behalf, but also probably the only thing making the Republic function pre-war without the threat of a standing army to enforce its decisions?

Plot convenience. George wasted an entire 1/3rd of the Prequel trilogy with Episode I as it doesn't relate to the story being told except in a really minor tangential way. If you had started the clone wars under dubious circumstances in Episode I you could spend Episode II with the Jedi trying to uncover the plot and Palpatine being a real piece of shit by thwarting their efforts in a darker middle chapter that plays out more like a spy movie with Jedi and Sith. Then the 3rd movie is what it is, the trap is sprung and the sith take over because the Jedi were actively prevented from learning the truth. Instead the Jedi are rendered completely incompetent and stupid by some magical dark-side intelligence draining power that Sheev has because there's no time in the movies to do otherwise.

True, the first movie was nice for what it was though.

The whole storyline was different. No chip, the clones just followed orders because they genuinely believed that Jedi had betrayed them. By this point in the war normal clones came to the realization that they were really just slaves.

Also the author wanted to conclude what happened to Sev during the Republic Commando game but LucasArts didn't want that.

Episode I is fine, the problem is that it seems Lucas started the new trilogy without really thinking through the whole story he was trying to tell. People always complain that Ep. III feels rushed what with anakin going from good guy to pledging himself to monster mash and then killing children in a half hour. It feels rushed because Ep. I doesn't factor, Ep. II was kind of wasted with a lot of needless bullshit and Ep. III has to essentially tell the entire story in 1 movie which for obvious reasons doesn't really work.

Where I think the prequel defense force vs. mindless haters things gets confused is that the "story" of the prequel trilogy and what Lucas is trying to get across when you include the books and tv shows is actually pretty compelling. However the MOVIES are a goddamn disaster and if you factor out all of the side-content from books, tv shows, and games the story makes next to no sense.

So what happens is you have one camp focused on one thing, one camp focused on the other and they both come off sound like blithering idiots because their arguments don't align.

I really recommend reading the Republic Commando series because it seems like they went an entirely different direction with interactions between clones and Jedi. I don't know maybe I am just butthurt because I am rereading the series and am sad that it got canceled to make way for the show.

How different was it? How is it now?

Basically it painted the picture of clones as you initailly described, loyal to the Jedi and they were taught that they were near omnipotent. They also didn't ahve any idea of life outside of the Army. As the series progresses it shows the slow realization of the clones that there is a life outside of fighting and dying that they will never get to really experience. No families or girlfriends just fighting and if they are too badly injured to be used they are put down quietly. They also come to realize that the Jedi fuck up, they aren't good military commanders, and that the clones are loyal foremost to the Republic. The Jedi are separate from this and are only in command because Republic leaders requested their aid.

>>63291469
I am talking about one of the book series in the now defunct EU. It is a really nice portrayal of the clones as humans rather than the bland almost robots they are depicted as in the movies.

So if Boba Fett was working for the CIS as a bounty hunter or whatever, but also living on Kamino where he would have known that a million clones of him were being made to fight the CIS why didn't he say anything to dookie or any of the CIS guys about it

No that's just dumb. Do you think Sheev would risk clones not following orders because they grew close to their jedi commanders during the war? Then you have jedi and clones knowing that the sheev is trying to kill them, which only causes more uncertainty and questions about his power. No, he needed a foolproof way to make sure the clones would turn on the jedi without them second guessing the orders.
>>
What I wonder is the following: How comes only Sheev knew about Order 66? One would think that an order like "Genocide all Jedi and help me take over the galaxy" written in the clones' manual would have aroused some suspicion.
>>
>>63292520
How is a chip in their brain foolproof? Yous ay the clones would grow attached like regular humans would so wouldn't they also react the same way as a regular human when they discovered that they had a chip in their brain that could control their actions? No one would take that sitting down they would rebel against that all the same.

Chips in the brain is just a lazy way of explaining why the clones would kill their Jedi commanders. It is a much better story to have a gulf develop between Jedi and the rank and file clones which is rather understandable considering to most they are still crazy monks.

But really what happens after this chip compels them to kill the Jedi. Do they just say oh well and go about their lives? Or does the chip now control them forever? In that case why not just use droids?

Dooku and Jango were in on the scam.
Grievous was not.
>>
>>63292650
I mean in the EU it was explained as there were 150 contingency orders that covered just about any eventuality. Anything from kill all the Jedi because they are traitors to the Chancellor being replaced because he is crazy or otherwise unsound. It is not like anyone really expected them to be used it was a just in case sorta thing. Sorta like those British letters given to submarines in the event that Britain is attacked or something.

>why didn't he say anything to dookie or any of the CIS guys about it
He picked up a noble cause
called the clone wars
Cause life's not all about girls and cars
Gets fucked up
In fucked up bars
See He's not a retard
Or Gay like DeBarge
He's large and in charge with a face so scarred
And a cold black heart that's been torn apart
The sith wish that they had a dick so hard
because it's long long ago in a pussy far far
Call him "Master"
Because he's faster than Pryor on Fire.
He no longer has to hot wire because he's a hunter for hire
with no plans to retire
and all you sucker MC's call call him "sire"

>Who ordered these clones

Did you even watch the fucking scene?

Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas ordered them after he learned of the siths return.

( Ironically he was convinced to do this and given the funding by none other than Hego Damask a.k.a Darth Plagueis)

After the clones were commissioned Count Dooku turned to the dark sides and murdered Sifo-Dyas and took over the clone project.

Seriously OP, you're a fucking casual and should kill yourself
>>
>>63293189

>after he learned of the siths return.

How do we know this in the movie? All they mention is Sifo, for all we know that could be a code-name for Sheev, or maybe it was jango himself in a mask. There is zero explanation beyond "some jedi ordered them".

The Clone Wars (cgi) series is pretty decent from what I watched, you can google to find a list of recommended episodes for each season if you're wary of it. The traditionally animated Clone Wars miniseries is also great I hear, and it details the lead up to the opening of Episode 3.

Jango was probably paid to be used as a template, plus he got a son out if the deal.
>>
>>63295864

Count Dooku set a bounty on a renegade dark jedi apprentice of his and was gonna let whoever could kill her be the template. That just so happened to be Jango Fett. It's the basis for that one bounty hunter video game where you play as Jango.
>>
THE STAR WARS BOUNTY HUNTER GAME EXPLAINS THE WHOLE THING PERFECTLY
>>
>>63286721
Because Yoda commanded the clones. The clone army was the good guys.

Yes, those numbers are very low, however...

Jango Fett was chosen because he's literally the perfect warrior in the Star Wars universe. Despite the fact that Jango Fett isn't Force sensitive, and isn't even the most physically capable being in the Star Wars universe based solely on physical strength or ability.
>hurr can't clone the force
Except you literally can. The prequels established that the Force is a genetic trait due to Midi-Chlorians.

There are answers for your questions, but they only raise more questions. Give up on these flicks.
