Imagine a clone army of Obi Wans jumping down from the sky in the Geonosian arena and hearing "Hello there" thousands of times a second.

[Tman-fpdy]

What if Obi Wan didn't dissapoint Count Dooku on their duel on Geonosis?

[LordVader]

Actually Obi-Wan discovering the Clone Army was entirely intentional. Why do you think Jango Fett killed an assassin sent to hunt down Senator Amidala with a KAMINOAN dart specifically? The whole point was to get the Jedi interested in Kamino. That's also why Jango IMMEDIATELY heads for Geonosis, leading Obi-Wan there too.

Sensible Clone Commander: "Hm... we're severely outnumbered and the enemy is not attacking. This is very strange..."
Psychic Super Soldier: "FRONTAL

The clones would just chill and watch pod racing

[raphaelrodriguez]

This was a very interesting scenario. And actually makes Palpatine look smarter in canon considering he turned a potentially massive liability, the discovery of all these secret armies, into an opportunity to accelerate the timetable of his grand galactic conspiracy. Because this Cold War scenario sounds like it would have taken another 5 or 10 years to get the Clone Wars going even if it would have made the conflict more destructive than it was in canon.

_Then historians would have to think of a new name for the War._

[robsonley]

If Obi Wan never knew about the clone army, would that mean he also wouldn't have found out about Geonosis?

[ThoriberoCaroli]

"Hello there friends".
See what you did there... You are a bold one.

[Ikcatcher]

What would the clones even do if they never got deployed? Do they just sit in Kamino playing Holo chess or something

[theawesomeman]

For an army that was canonically smaller than the entire American Armed Forces that fought millions of droids across the galaxy for four long years, and won, the Grand Army Of The Republic has my respect.

[michaelrodriguez]

Well Dooku seemed suprised when the army showed up. If it was honest then a lot of jedi would have died including main characters

[nobleman]

Suggestion: Galactic Marines vs US Marines

[badgamemaster]

Most of the Jedi strike force wouldn't have been killed in the arena. But I do think Dooku would have ordered the Droid army to attack many planets as the opening of the war. Part of the plan was to make the Republic fear and hate the Separatist and a major attack like that would force many senators to turn they back and Padme.

[shawnjones]

Suggestion: Ahsoka Tano v Rey Palpatine

[arthurbriand]

Imagine during the Clone War, The leader of the majority and the leader of the Opposition in the Republic were both from Naboo, a very small unimportant planet that somehow influenced the netire galactic political debate.

[lateraljokesters]

Ok what if Ahsoka after order 66 went straight to Vader in wild space before Plaptine had years to make Vader recent Anakin (she'd go right to him cause "search your feelings fine him, you will")

[DefinitelyNotEmma]

What if I told you that the Republic is under the control of a Sith Lord OwO

- Dooku-Sama

But wouldn't Palpatine WANT the Clone Army discovered? Like, at the perfect time as well?
After all, hadn't he planned for the clone army to be used against the Jedi after the Separatist had been utterly destroyed?
This is the ONE part of this theory I do not get.
How would the clone army be discovered? I mean... If not for Obi-Wan and his friend Dexter, then by who?
Everything that occurred in Episode 2 went SO according to plan it feels like... That Palpatine must've known Obi-Wan had a friend who could analyse Jango's Kaminoan saber dart, and get the co-ordinates for where Kamino should be. And THEN Palpatine must've known that Obi-Wan would end up following Jango Fett to Geonosis, so he would discover the Separatist threat that was lurking in the shadows. Which in turn would make the creation of an army for the Republic a possibility. All because Palpatine must've known that Padmé and Anakin would be off-world, so that Padmé's voice in the Senate wouldn't be heard, and the Military creation act would pass.
There is SUCH an amount of stuff Palpatine MUST have known in order for everything to go according to his plan.
Like, if Obi-Wan's friend, Dexter, DIDN'T know about the Kaminoans. Then, how would Palpatine introduce the clone army? Without the knowledge of the Separatist threat too...
Like, what purpose would the clone army have had ORIGINALLY speaking?
What was they made for, if not to fight the droid army? Lama Su even states that "You'll find them immensely superior to droids." As them being breed in order to fight the droid army.
How was Palpatine planning for the clone army to be introduced? And how was he planning for the Separatist Threat to take place? And how was he planning for Padmé to be ABSENT from the senate during the decision to go trough with the Military creation act?
Was Padmé's assassination attempts an attempt to silence her opposition voice for the Military creation act?
If Padmé was successfully assassinated, how could Palpatine use her to push Anakin over to the dark side?
There are SUCH an amount of details that all would suggest that every minuscule coincidence that happens in Episode 2 was SOMEHOW planned by Palpatine all along. Yet the AMOUNT of planning, foresight and information that was required for it all to happen perfectly would be INSANE!

[masterofinfinitracks]

So if the clones weren't deployed that means they would never fight along side the jedi so when they are revealed the jedi wouldn't trust them and order 66 would go differently and more jedi might survive
