[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mighty Blogger Snay: [QB] [QUOTE]Did the Republic ever have a military? Because at the end of the movie they show Vader and Palpatine on the proto-star destroyer we also see non-clones in the gray uniforms from Ep IV-VI and Scorpius as Tarkin. On a second viewing of Ep III I noticed Commander Cody had the same kind of red/blue square rank insignia seen in the OT.[/QUOTE]I was thinking about this today and wanted to respond in greater detail. A large bit of the plot of "Attack of the Clones" had to deal with Palpatine's being granted power to raise a "Grand Army of the Republic". While the Clone troops certainly formed the start of that military force, there's nothing to suggest they made the entire military up by themselves. As we saw in "Revenge of the Sith", clone troopers were sent to reinforce local planetary militaries of systems loyal to the Republic. Also, in a scene I think cut from "A New Hope", Red Leader tells Luke that he flew with Anakin during the Clone Wars -- a telling hint that Republic forces used non-Clones quite extensively. Of course, the biggest clue to this is - as you pointed out - that at the end of the film, the Emperor and Vader are present on a starship bridge crewed by non-clones. [/QB][/QUOTE]
