[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim': [QB] Are you sure that was his heart failing and not anything with his windpipe? :.) Seriously, it has to have been a very specific and extremely covert procedure that was done to the clones to make them do what they did during order 66. Think about it, the hundreds of thousands of government workers, authorities and military staff that controlled the army and the clones would never have stood for special brainwash-dispensations giving someone at the top the power to start a genocide without authorization or hesitation, the republic was still a democracy when the clones were incorporated into it. Furthermore, it would've been one thing if the clones were simply extremely obedient in all cases and would shoot a puppy without asking if even a jedi told them to, but that would make them vulnerable to counter-orders as well. No, Palpatine didn't call up the clones and say "See that high-ranking jedi general in your unit? Kill him.", he merely said "order 66" and the clones immediately knew who to target and what level of force to implement. Especially Commander Cody, who had saved Kenobi's saber and bantered with him in the cruiser hanger, wouldn't have ordered Kenobi "shot down" in a calm and prompt manner had it not been a subconscious decision. Although it was strange the way the gunner went along with it too, without having heard the order himself. I can't really imagine the kaminoans going along with it either, they are neutral and also seemed very impressed with Kenobi when he visited. We don't know anything about clone conditioning procedures in SW, of course. It might be standard routine for the kaminoans to at least incorporate a "kill switch" in all clones so the owners can have the ultimate power in case something would go wrong, and perhaps the implementation of order 66 was snuck in by Dooku or Palpatine as just programming code, which the kaminoans dutifully submitted to the computers. Since it was called "order 66" (omen?) there probably were all sorts of other commands as well, like in the "Command & Conquer: Red Alert"-games; [i]'return to base'[/i] or [i]'retreat'[/i].
