What if the Separatists CREATED a CLONE Army

What if the Separatists Created a Clone Army? Let’s explore the depths of this scenario in the video.

Ventress glares at the clone trooper holding the canister with Jango Fett’s DNA. The trooper steps back and holds up his blaster at her while a dozen clones join him. Anakin stands up and smirks at her.

From above, she notices a Kaminoan ship flying down towards her. She chuckles and holds her lightsabers ready.

Ventress: I suppose you expect me to surrender.

Anakin: Actually, I plan to let the clones execute you, right now.

Ventress: Not this time.

She unleashes a powerful Force push that throws all the clones off balance. The trooper holding the canister stumbles to his feet. Ventress rushes forward, kicks him aside, snatches the canister from his hands, and leaps into the ship.

The clones fire at the ship, but it is too far and the two of them escape to the remnants of their fleet . Although they manage to defend Kamino, the loss of the cloning DNA is a huge blow to the Republic’s war effort. This seriously hampers the Kaminoans’ cloning effort, as that was one of their last sources of Jango Fett’s DNA.

They urge the Republic to find a new clone template to replace Jango Fett, but that will take time. In the meantime, Palpatine urges the Jedi and clones to continue fighting to avoid appearing weak during the Clone Wars.

He is secretly seething, though, as this was not part of his plan. He wanted Dooku to attack Kamino to frighten the Republic into giving him more power, but not to win. With this development, the Chancellor will need to adjust his plans.

The CIS researchers begin studying the Jango Fett DNA for weaknesses. It takes weeks of research to crack the security codes and decipher all the data, but they manage to discover the secret command codes planted in the clones inhibitor chips.

They also learn that the cloning DNA is becoming more and more strained, and the newer batches are becoming less effective.

After learning all this, General Grievous discusses the CIS’s next moves.

Grievous: It has come to my attention that we must consider a change of strategy to win this war.

Dooku: That is a bold suggestion, General. But I would like to hear your thoughts.

Grievous: Our researchers have discovered that while the cloning process the Kaminoans use is highly effective, it is also highly strenuous. They require constant sources of DNA to continue cloning. Without it, their new batches gradually become less effective.

Dooku: I see. And what does this have to do with a change of strategy?

Grievous: It shows that time is on our side. The quality of our droid production remains consistent while their clones decline. I propose we shift to defensive warfare, forcing the Republic to attack our worlds and deplete their numbers.

Many in the council are horrified by this suggestion. Figures like Nute Gunray and Wat Tambor believe this will put their assets at risk of a Republic attack. However, Grievous remains adamant.

Grievous: Bah, none of you are generals. What do you know of strategy and tactics? Warfare like this always favors the defender. For every droid destroyed, the Republic may lose ten clones. How long will it take before their armies are reduced to nothing?

Dooku sees the logic of this plan but also senses the anger of the CIS council. He assuages them for now, promising that their holdings will be protected. Grievous gets the green light to go through with his plan.

Most CIS fleets and droid armies pull back to their most critical territories, abandoning less important worlds and small offensives. They begin fortifying these planets and turning them into fortresses.

Meanwhile, offensive operations become smaller and more surgical. They aim to take enclaves of the Republic or wipe out isolated planets and fleets. In effect, it created the Outer Rim sieges two years earlier.

The strategy works tremendously well, as although the Republic has a much larger industrial base, the CIS now concentrates its forces much more efficiently . By pulling back their forces earlier, the CIS is more intact and better able to defend their worlds, forcing the Jedi and clones to fight for every inch of ground.

More importantly, with the Jango Fett DNA so strained, clone production slows down and becomes increasingly inefficient, with many more defective clones. Within a few months, it’s clear that the war cannot continue at this rate.

The Kaminoans begin demanding that the Jedi find a new donor for clones, or they will pull out their support from the war to preserve what little DNA they have left.

To save face, the Chancellor blames the failure on the Kaminoans, saying they did not take adequate security measures to protect the DNA. This allows Palpatine to threaten to enact a conscription act that allows citizens of the galaxy to enlist in the Grand Army of the Republic, which can harm the Kaminoans’ standing.

Once he is alone, Palpatine Contacts

Now, what if the Republic created a Droid Army? And maybe both scenarios at once

[elizabetheasley]

For Grievous: So many lightsabers to add to his collection at the end! Heading into the temple to gather the blades of those that fell there...

[JediMasterZim]

This gives a whole new meaning to the name "The Clone Wars."

[JTruongrd]

General Grievious: So many light sabers to add to my collection"
While hes holding a bundle of them with two arms and the other 2 are spinning sabers victoriously like a helicopter.

This is rapidly becoming my favorite Star Wars channel.

[lennart]

This was one of the best what ifs ever

[Da_SenateT]

Alrighty allow me to glaze for a bit this has to be one my favorites you've done. Voice acting and music elevated this so much. Particularly the tracks where Grievous is in the spotlight. Kinds sounded like his 2003 theme. I was glad Dooku still went through with order 66.
The reference to Hypori was nice as well.

[AlexPerez-ypmz]

WOW, DUDE!
tHIS WAS VERY ACTION PACKED! And it was very dark at the end.

[TheMessianicMilitant]

What If Starkiller Was In The Clone Wars

[kyuusei]

That was an amazing story ! You really pushed the story somewhere else !

[dianesinger]

Now that was a great twist in the story

[heavyarms]

On a different note - how come you don't get hit with copyright claims using so many clips from the shows? Other YouTubers talk about like 10 seconds of music being enough to get SLAMMED with strikes.

Speaking of music, that beat you had playing when Dooku betrays Palpatine was very NOT Star Wars, but fire af! There's something about the idea of a Lightsaber duel to music like that that is very appealing. I need to see a re-edit of Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting to that kind of music!

[loganwhitney]

I just noticed that the voice for Grievous almost sounds like a robotic version of Escharum from halo infinite and it's actually terrifying as hell😓💀

[Marcissus]

Would be nice to see multiple Batman/Superman what ifs, there’s a lot of content to be milked there

[JB-bbbh]

Dooku:
Ayyy yoooo i could have just O66 the whole time!?!?
Grevious: yes.
Dooku: 🤦🏻‍♂️

Good twist ending.

[wargamesmaster]

Kaleesh don't have four arms but it's not worth really complaining over, the story was still an interesting video.

[megareavermickeybot]

I'd be curios to see the surviving JEDI in the future of this alternate time line.

[kensosaramos]

I believe that Dooku would either before or after order 66, he'd call for order 65. Would've made for a more chaotic story right there.

[sakomanlee]

Ahh the Jedi. You could definitively prove to them that one apple in the barrel was full of deadly poison and they would keep munching away assuming it must be the last one.

[rinokumera]

What if Galen joined Palpatine before getting damaged thus never losing his potential
