[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] Not that it's canon, perse, and it's obviously well before the timeline of the movies, but in KOTOR there was a non-Jedi (though Jedi trained) force-user living in obscurity on the rim. Given the breadth of the SW universe, I can't imagine his story is unique. Also Kenobi's line in ANH, "A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, [b]helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights.[/b]" for all its misdirection has always, at least to me, seemed to imply more than the one-day youngling & temple rampage Annakin goes on while the rest of the Jedi get shot in the back. What is it, 18 years or so before Ep 4? That's a lot of time for Vader to make a name for himself [i]as[/i] Darth Vader hunting down the stragglers. [QUOTE][qb]Nim' was all:[/qb] 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; 'return to base' or 'retreat'.[/QUOTE]One could go so far as to assume that there are orders 1-65 with speculation about what those do. I imagine all sorts of safeguards and backdoors would be installed for the clone troopers if only to ensure that a force so powerful could not be easily misdirected (as a few people have already suggested). My only problem with Palpatine being Sifo Dias in disguise is that it takes away from my brilliant pet theory that it was, in fact, the Jedi (or some well-intentioned faction of the Jedi) that ordered the clone army anticipating the need for such a force against the separatists. Which justifies Palpy's concerns about the Jedi wanting to take over and perhaps makes the Jedi a little less perfect. I'm not sure about the economics of the Old Republic, but I imagine sponsoring a clone army on that scale would require V A S T resources. [/QB][/QUOTE]
