    There were probably hundreds of secret units within the Grand Army of the Republic, and Palpatine made sure that these units were never made public unless under his direction. The Galactic Republic’s Clone Army was massive and no doubt that several of these units weren’t allowed to be known even after the war, and no doubt they trained the future Imperial Security Bureau for tactics and strategy.

    • @pw6002
      @pw6002 2 года назад +7

      Hundreds of secret units do not make much sense inside an army.
      You may have some special units, and two or three secret sections.
      But the main goal of a (big) army is to have an effective tool that follows one streamlined chain of command.

They were so powerful but they were so independent that the Cloners that made them feared them and wanted them killed after their testing and training. A Mando stepped in and saved them saying he will take them under his wing. The Nulls were one man armies that even jedis can't match their effectiveness in warzones as jedis are not aggressive enough for warzones.. After the war the Mando in charge took them under his wing and trained them as mandos as if they were his sons. The Alpha class is the original ARCs were only numbered just over a hundred but they were just like the nulls but less enhancements and less aggressive. They were also one man armies too and almost just as good, keyword is "almost". They were the last resort when their planet was invaded and pressed into service right after. The ARCs were too few in number so they took in regular clones who show independents and skill into their ARC trooper program for retraining and send out to special missions.

      Also getting lightsaber resitant gear while posible is not something super easy. Bescar for example would get you into hot water with the mandalorians because you also would need to get one of their metalsmiths as basicaly no one else knew how to reliable smelt the stuff into funktioning armor (normal mandalorian iron was still good but not bescar quality) and Cortosis was also ultra rare and commonly not as good armorwise as Bescar.

    Always thought it would be interesting to have a show centered around an elite clone assassin, from his time training on Kamino and during the age of the Empire.
    It would be cool to have a darker Star Wars show around a character who isn’t morally good. Yet, the factors in childhood that led to this would be explores. His brutal role in Order 66, perhaps in the Temple, would also be interesting to see.
    I think a good plot would have him go rogue after his chip malfunctions or loses its efficacy and have him learn the truth behind 66. He would then go on a mission of revenge against the empire, not out of moral concerns, but out of anger of learning his freedom was taken away. Parallels could be drawn between the clones lack of freedom, between being bred as basically war slaves by the republic to losing their freedom of thought under the empire. His quest would be one of pursuit of freedom and revenge on those who took it from him, and he would not be limited by the morals of normal protagonists. This period should also see some moral development, but the mistake of making him a “good guy” like Boba Fett should be avoided.
    Just imagine how badass a rogue ex-clone assassin on a mission of revenge would be.
