“And I said to her, “Baby, you and me-“

“You’ve never even met a girl!”

[mannofdober]

Imagine training for your entire life, only to be killed in the first minute of your first battle...

[MikeJones-qngz]

“When the boy was born, like all Clones he was inspected, had he been disfigured or misshapen he would have been discarded, for there is no room for weakness. From the time he could walk he was baptized in the fires of combat, taught never to retreat, never to surrender, taught that death on the battlefield in service to the Republic was the greatest glory he could achieve in his life.”

[gtrfankereere]

We can all agree that the Clones deserved better

[marshalllatta]

They are going to be the finest clone army in the galaxy as ever seen

[InitialiseDisk]

I really didn’t know much about Clones when they were young so this is actually really interesting.

"There's not much to look at here sir. We all share the same face."

[johnrandolph]

Rex: I don't want to bury any more of our brothers.

[LuiTheBazui]

This was the perfect video to watch before I’m off to a two-week outdoor summer camp in Mexico.

[randomguy]

It’s funny because in reality the clones and droids where very much the same, mass produced soldiers with no real identity. Made with the sole purpose to fight and die so that one being could achieve his own goals

[fpgamer]

kinda sad how they only could live half a normal life
that is if they dont die during the clone wars first

[_MaZTeR_]

Would be interesting to know in canon about the training officers, ARC Troopers and Clone Commandos received. And the upringing of the defective clones like Clone Force 99.

[Jedi_Spartan]

I wonder if Clone Commandos were still trained by an equivalent to the Cuy'val Dar in Canon. Possibly with the Bad Batch taking the place of the Null Class ARC Troopers (minus being actual Commandos rather than ARCs).

[SultanOfAwesomeness]

Honestly that’s kinda fucked. Even more so knowing that this was all orchestrated from the get-go by sidious.

[darylsdesigns]

My favorite clone troopers are Captain Rex, Commander Cody, Fives, Echo, Hardcase, and the Bad Batch.

[FireheartSamurai]

That picture in the thumbnail looks like what happens if you start a bar fight in one of the Lego Star Wars games. But a less messy bar fight though.

[TheLiamster]

I wonder what Omega’s teenage years will be like?

[samuelgilliot]

The Republic became the Empire the moment they used the Clone Army .

[Mz-stfs]

Best army in the Star Wars Univers imo would’ve like them to go against the Yun Zhan Vong
