      Some of the accent stuff might be from clones deliberately trying to stand out among the crowd. It is also possible that it is an out-of-universe effect to represent a more subtle difference that makes clone voices distinctive to those who know them. For example, I've always guessed that the members of Delta Squad in the Republic Commando game sound the same in-universe, but very slight differences allow them to tell each other's voices apart. Out-of-universe, this is represented by each clone having a different voice actor, which obviously doesn't make sense otherwise.

      I think it would make sense too if the Kaminoans were to give subtle variations to the otherwise exact clones, such as hair color, eye color, etc. to give them a sense of individualism. They were encouraged to develop their own personality and sense of style, likely to give them that individual comfort and the feeling that they were in fact their own person, and I think it follows that a few cosmetic tweaks in the sample DNA would only serve to improve that effect.

      Even the regular clone troopers from the first batches were modified because they had been built to grow up faster and be better team players compared to the original who was a bit of a loner. ...Honestly it seems to me that the idea of using a lone bounty hunter as the template for an army wasn't well thought out and starting from finding a soldier (even a mercenary) who already was good at serving as a part of a larger unit would have been a better fit. But the point is that the clones were modified not only in bodies growing differently than normal humans but also they had gone through behavioural changes and since it is plausible that this programming of their minds would also have minor differences in individuals simply because of the scale, there never was a chance of making them all identical even if they tried. Too many factors and too many clones to avoid 0,01% chances of piling up.

      @@Asko83 While the clones were modified to be less independent, this seems like a natural safety protocol than anything else. Jango Fett did fight along the True Mandalorians, so team corporation is definitely within Jango's capabilities. The problem would be if too many clones were independent it would make their behavior less predictable and more likely for mutiny. Granted the clone army was never made because of their obedience in the first place, rather due to Jango's ability to kill a Jedi, having Clones and Jedi close when order 66 came ensured the Jedi purge.

      To answer the question, most lightsabres had this thing called an on/off switch. If he's pressing down on it they can't deactivate it. Also, in ANH Obi-Wan describes the force as "an energy field created by all living things.", In TPM Qui-Gon says all living things are powered by medichlorians (The thing that makes the energy fields mentions by Obi-Wan).
      Technically everything alive in Star Wars is force sensitive. I think the Jedi definition of "force sensitive" is someone who can use the force actively rather than just passively.

There would be very minor if any noticable differnece in reality. But in a narrative sense with the cartoons that have to run for like 4 seasons, with these characters being very integral to the show, it makes sense to heavily differentiate them (accents, personality, mannerisms) for the viewers. The prequeal movies did it right. Millitary copies of Jango bred to follow orders.

  • @CornChips-di7zu
    @CornChips-di7zu 4 года назад +1

    My basic understanding of genetics + what I know about the clones leads me to this conclusion. When they Kaminoans say they’ve “stretched” the DNA of the clones, it’s most likely referring to not using gene therapy and genetic engineering to alter the clones epigenetics to give them more desirable traits. They don’t want to waste too much of their genetic sample supply on tweaking little things like hair color, eye color, etc if they aren’t the standard brown. Also the reason that can happen is because Jango likely inherited the “blonde” gene, but the brown hair gene is what was activated on his genetic code so he had brown hair. So somewhere in the process of cloning him, it is possible that some of his clones may have had blonde hair if the Kaminoans left certain epigenic combinations up to chance in hopes of finding desirable mutations (aka, the bad batch), and then not having a steady surplus of genetic material to fix minor mutations lead them to not care as much about a clones hair being blonde or eyes being blue. So yes that’s my take on things.

      Mass drivers never seemed to be used on a very large scale in Star Wars - mostly the main gun on the AT-TE or LAAT, or flak guns on starships, judging from what I can find. All pretty small, nothing like the scale of MACs in Halo. Even the smallest versions of MACs we've seen - the Halo 4 Mammoth's mini-MAC or the Onager mass driver from Reach - far outclass any of the mass drivers from Star Wars. A shipborne main gun like the one on a Paris-class frigate deals a completely different level of damage, and the orbital defense platforms around Reach and Earth go even farther beyond that sort of firepower.

    The main difference would likely have been intentional or semi-intentional changes made by the Kaminoans. While there certainly would have been some changes, you wouldn't likely have had things like hair and eye color changes, but instead minor height, muscle, bone & cartilage differences, and possibly some occasional skin splotches from melanin glands going a bit over-board. As for why the Kaminoans would do this, well, for the same reason banana breeders are doing it right now: to try to make it harder to take out an entire unit of clones with a single weaponized disease.

    It could be because our understanding of cloning has changed from episode 2 to the clone wars. Now a days, we understand that if you cloned a human, they would probably look like siblings, but not identical, as human experience affects our physical development as much as genetics do. They all start out the same, but as they age, they could look like twins, siblings or drastically different. Also like you said, genetic mutation is a naturally occurring thing, and even identical twins who are natural clones (from a science stand point), deal with mutations that alter one from the other. I'd say the clone wars clones are much more realistic (as realstic as anything star wars can be) than the identical, copy and paste clones from Episode 2

      And also the storytelling factor plays a role here.

In the Clone Wars they are important characters with their own story arcs and we need to distinguish who is who.

      There's a fundamental problem with your question:
      Against effectively any enemy, if the entire Imperium focused on them, they are big enough to just bulldoze them.
      In 40K however, even the Tau are a problem, because if the Imperium directed enough assets to annihilate them, they would become overwhelmed by the other great powers.
      It's not that the Tau are strong enough to resist the Imperium, just that it would be too costly for the Imperium to destroy them, because of every other overpowered nation around.
      If hypothetical war happened in the 40K Galaxy, then the Empire would be harassed by the other powers there, and almost certainly destroyed.
      If this occurred in a different galaxy (such as the Star Wars one), the Imperium would completely roll over the Empire, due to there being no other pressing threat.

      Your question is poorly formatted.

      +GreenManAiming correctly surmised that if the Empire faced the entire Imperium, they would be utterly annihilated, as the Imperium Fleets vastly outnumber those of the Empire, and their favorite strategy is to just grind threats to dust.
      You were apparently unsatisfied with that answer, but then rephrased your question in a still ambiguous manner.
      I attempted to answer that if the Empire were to face the Imperium in the Star Wars Galaxy, it would be worse for them due to the lack of pressure on the Imperium.
      I then asked you to clarify what 'a level playing field is'.
      My first interpretation was that it was fighting the Imperium in the Star Wars Galaxy, but based on your recent response this interpretation was wrong.
      Alternatives are as I listed before:
      "Constrain the Imperium ship choice so it matches the Empire's strongest warships?

    @mr_h831 4 года назад

    I think it's realistic to say that over time the genetic sample used to make the clones would eventually become corrupt or slowly decay, causing for either minor or major mutations. To use a slightly gross and more extreme example from real life. If you were to say, inbreed, that may not have an immediate effect on the child that you end up having, but eventually if that child has another child with another family member, the genetic code degrades to such a degree to even have symptoms of skitzofrenia at a young age. It is entirely probable that they would eventually even look and act much different than they do in the clone wars. You must also understand that experience will change not only the appearance of a person, but the attitude and personality. Meaning, what yoda says about the clones in the force, is true for each and every one of them by technicality. "In the force, every one of you is different." Or something along those lines, is what yoda said in like the first episode of the tv show. I'm no geneticist that's for sure, but i do know a basic thing or two on the subject.

      I don't think those two points are in contradiction. All or at least most Jedi become a part of the great cosmic Force when they die (it is less clear if that is the same for non-Force-users). The reason becoming a Force ghost is difficult is because you have to learn how to retain your identity in that situation, which Yoda, Obi-wan and Qui-gon did. When Rey taps into the cosmic Force at the end, she can feel presence of all of those Jedi, even though most of them could not have formed a Force ghost on their own.

    Three things go into determining phenotype (the physical traits you display, such as hair color and eye color): genotype, environmental factors, and a little bit random chance.
    Your genotype is essentially your dna and all the different traits that are programmed into. Not all of these traits will necessarily be displayed in your phenotype, but it does factor into it. After all, if you don't have the allele for blonde hair in your genotype, you can't have naturally blonde hair. Environmental factors, such as nutrients, chemical exposure in the womb, exposure to radiation, or a fever as baby, affects phenotype as well, either by causing a person to develop differently or causing a dormant trait in their genotype to turn active. As with just about everything in the universe random chance also plays a role in affecting a being's phenotype.

    As soon as you create a perfect clone of yourself with sentience, the second it start to live on its own and get its own experience, it became its own person and not you anymore. The same could be said on genetic with such an extreme number of individual clones; for example, it's not that rare for a person to have their hair color or eyes color change from childhood to adulthood. I don,t remember the exacts terms, but I know that the genes that settle on your definitive physical features like colors are not completely set when you are born. This could explain it.
    We also have to remember that the clones aren't perfect copies of Jango Fett; they have been altered, first to make them age faster, and second to make them more docile, to implant the famous biochips and I assume there's been a few others manipulations. As much genius geneticist the Kaminoans are, on such a scale again, they are going to make mistakes, touch something in the genes that they weren't supposed, things, details, like that.
    Finally, there's the fact of different environments, like you mentioned. We know for a fact that clones are sensible to the same illness as regular humans, like this clone, I don,t remember his name, who got a brain tumor who prematurly activated his biochip. Knowing that, who knows to what kind of different atmospheres, micro-organisms and other on alien worlds, and what it would do to them?
