[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] 1. According to the Kaminoans, the order for the clones was placed by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. However, since Sifo-Dyas has been dead for ten years, we don't know yet whether he was actually involved or not. Someone may have been impersonating him. Whoever it was, the Jedi Council didn't know about it. Also, Count Dooku (using his Sith name of "Tyranus") was the one who hired Jango Fett to be the template for the clones. What role he played in placing the order w/ the Kaminoans is unknown, though. He may have been using Sifo-Dyas' name. Or maybe he and Sifo-Dyas were working together. 2. I'd guess that the clones are the original Stormtroopers, but that the ones we see in the original trilogy are at least partially, if not mostly, if not [i]all[/i], regular people. 3. AotC marks the very beginning of the Clone Wars. Yoda's exact words near the end are "The shroud of the Dark Side has fallen. Begun, the clone war has." Most likely, the Clone Wars will end when the Separatists are "defeated" (whether Palpatine will have Dooku convince them to surrender, or if he'll actually fight the war out to victory, I don't know). 4. Even though the droid that breaks when Owen tries to buy it from the Jawas is supposedly called "R5-D4", I'm sure I remember Luke calling it an "R2-unit". I suspect that the R# droids get their designations from their programming, and the shape isn't necessarily a giveaway. 5. Since droids tend to look alike, there's nothing odd about people not recognizing droids they haven't seen in thirty years. I used to think it was odd that Owen didn't recognize C-3PO in ANH until I rewatched it and realized that Owen never heard C-3PO's name. All he knew was that he was buying a protocol droid. And, like someone said, the droids are supposed to get their memories wiped in episode III, so there's no problem there, either. R2-D2 wouldn't need to retain his memory to "ramble on about a 'secret mission' and 'Obi-Wan Kenobi gibberish'". All that information was given to him by Leia at the beginning of ANH. 6. I don't understand the conflict you see here. The only problem I see is the discrepancy between Obi-Wan's "taking it upon himself" to train Anakin, and doing it at the wish of Qui-Gon. But I think this just means that Obi-Wan trained Anakin himself, rather than convincing Yoda to do it. He could have done either one, and still basically kept his promise to Qui-Gon. In his later years, he probably came to think that he should have let Yoda train Anakin. Maybe he thought that Anakin wouldn't have resented Yoda the way he resented Obi-Wan. But I don't think Yoda actually had anything to do w/ Anakin's training. 7. Nute Gunray, the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, wanted her dead. Sidious and Dooku were the ones trying to kill her because Gunray said the Federation wouldn't join the Separatists until he had Amidala's head on his desk. It just so happened that this was good for Palaptine/Sidious also, because killing Amidala would eliminate the leader of the opposition to the Republican army. [/QB][/QUOTE]
