[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mighty Blogger Snay: [QB] Let me put this another way - I think the whole reason Sidious planned the clones was so that the clone army could be completed entirely in secret -- certainly, even in a government body as big as the Republic, people would notice if their kids were being drafted into an illegal military. In addition, of course, to fighting the Separatist Movement in the war he planned, cloning an army would -- at least initially -- provide Sidious with what he needed to sieze control of the Republic, both by exterminating the Jedi, and by forcing unruly planets to submit to his rule. Furthermore, we know that the Grand Army of the Republic is made up entirely of clones. Led by Jedi, certainly, but the army itself, from the highest ranking officer, to the pilot corps, to the lowest buck-private, is made up of Jango Fett clones. Yet in the Star Wars Trilogy, we see Imperial military personnel who are not clones -- the officers on the Star Destroyer, the troopers guarding the detention blocks and dragging away Captain Needa's corpse. The technicians lined up in rows in the Star Destroyers' control pits. These are all clearly folks who have either been conscripted or willing enlisted in the service of the Empire's military. Logic would then lead us to the conclusion that the Empire has done away with clones altogether. I suppose you could make the arguement that the Empire kept clones for its Stormtrooper ranks, but why not just accept the foregone conclusion? The Empire is a military dictatorship, and why pay for clones when they can just draft the able-bodied male population of any given world to suit their needs? [QUOTE]And silencing your complaint constitutes an expense, is all I'm saying.[/QUOTE]Does it ever seem to you like the Empire cares about that expense? I mean, they killed how many billions of people when they destroyed Alderaan? [/QB][/QUOTE]
