Question on Order 66....

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ah, I see..... but I still find it hard to believe the jedi were taken by surprise so easily, even yoda didn't know till he felt his friends die.  Guess what I'm getting at is I believe the clones had "suppressed loyalty" some special conditioning in learning the directives, like hypnosis with a sith twist to it.  Which would explain the emotionless way the orders were carried out?  Forget where the info comes from, but aren't the more skilled clones like the ARC Troopers and Republic Commandos said to have more free will but are fewer in number?

Phatty:
And in the books, they did.  Many deserted at that immediate moment, while others carried out the orders they were bred to follow.  Some clones helped their Jedi Generals to avoid execution.  These clones were bred completely loyal to the Republic, not the Jedi.  Their directives were drilled into them over and over until it became as reflex as breathing air.  And remember from the movies, Yoda states that the Force and visions of the future have become clouded due to the presence of the Sith, making it more difficult to sense the threat before it was too late.  While the Jedi are powerful, they aren't aware of every conversation uttered by every sentient creature in the Galaxy, so one man uttering the words, "Execute Order 66," would not have been sensed by any one Jedi, unless they were looking for it, perhaps.

At least, this is all info from the books and Star Wars lore up til now, as well as my interpretation.

Oh wow, some of them helped their Jedi Generals escape?  Cool..... now that would make sense to me especially with the more free willed clones.  One more thing, since the clones were of Jango Fett.  Was Jango Fett a real Mandalorian or just some guy running around in their armor?  With the primary objective to destroy the Jedi Order, they would seem the most likely candidate for an ally against the Jedi given all the history between the Republic and Mandalorians.   Having Mandalorians teach the clones combat would likely pass on their natural hate and in some minor cases admiration of he Jedi onto their clones.

Phatty:
Well, Jango Fett was born on Concord Dawn, a moon of Mandalore.  He was adopted into the Mandalorian way of life, and therefore, was an instant enemy of the Jedi.  In fact, it was revealed that the reason for Jango donating his genes was because he was aware of the overall plot by the Sith to use this clone army to spread out the Jedi and murder them, striking a defeating blow to the Jedi. 

UnitedStatesDemocrat:
A question that plagues my mind is when the CW are over, will Ahsoka be dead, and will Rex be dead, or enlisted in the Imperial Army, as one of Vader's Fist?  Will he know Lord Vader is Anakin?  Will he be urged to kill Anakin, as he was once a Jedi, or be loyal to him, as he is now a Sith, sort of like the clones hunting down retired Jedi?  All of these questions, still unanswered, but in need of definite answers!
