@@eainpatton7973 Dee Bradley Baker the one who voices all the clones. Morrison only play as them in live-action. Including in Kenobi the tv show recently.
Hmmm… possibly some are different generations of clones. Rex is a generation one clone as well as Cody. Maybe those other clones are generation two or something. My guess
Cody and Rex were part of the Clone generation ready for deployment by the first battle of geonosis. If I had to guess, these clones they’re calling “kid” and “son” were probably cadets around the battle of geonosis
@@brickbanditstudios6037 the clones were always such a fascinating parralele to the droids. The clone wars really added a lot to the republic's side. Like, are the Republic senators really better, when they're bringing children into the world specifically for them to go into a meat grinder?
Even knowing the twist, slick’s reveal is so good…you wouldn’t really think twice about him saying “when the Jedi get back” because the audience knows the Jedi are gone…it’s not until Cody points it out that you realize…at least that’s how it was for me, rewatching the episode with my parents
Slick was right in a sense , a few months after order 66 , the clones were replaced by ordinary people . But Vader did keep the 501 legion made up of purely jango Fett clones . Also the 212 legion , (obi wan battalion ) were also made up of pure jango Fett clones so they were still clones in the empire but not as much as in the republic .
I didn't even realise he was the traitor til he let slip that the Jedi were out. Like only someone eavesdropping and feeding the info to the separatists would know that
It might not be an animation error. Sometimes cuts are used to showcase concurrent events, just like the editing when Holdo lightspeeds into the first order ship.
Interesting fact: If you pay attention to the dialogue in this entire episode, not once do the clones defend or speak highly of the Jedi when talking to the traitor about their sense of duty and their sevice to the Republic. The clones, I felt, were always a bit resentful of the Jedi order.
Yeah, individual Clones might respect them, like Rex and Cody obviously do, they have a personal connection with their jedi. But to the average clone they have plenty of reason to resent the group choosing to use them as cannon fodder
Well I don't think they were ever in the position of where they needed to say so until the very end of the episode. Even then there were only a few guard clones who obviously didn't have any knowledge of a turncoat in the first place alongside Cody and Rex arresting Slick.
@@sublis939 well not really. There were a lot of Jedi who did see them as people and were worried about them. Like Yoda in the first episode of the series even had a talk with them about their insecurities. There was also Kit Fisto and his Padawan who were angry about Grievous killing them in his hideout. Along with Anakin, Ashoka, and Aayla Secura.
"It's always a shocker when one of your own betrays you. We clones had a similar situation a couple years back. One of our men, Slick, turned against us. He was working with the enemy. Said he loved his brothers, but he was selling information to Ventress and sabotaging our supplies… doing things that could end up getting a lot of those brothers killed. Funny way of showing love, if you ask me." - Commander Cody in the Novel "Dark Disciple"
2:35 That's actually a very obscure reference of what happened in the Pacific during WW2. Taking "souvenirs" of japanese corpses (being fingers, teeth or even heads and skulls) at certain point was common practice.
Slick really screwed up with that “till the Jedi come back”. Chopper was right to question his squad leader about his whereabouts. Chopper sees Slick moving toward the command center. No squad leader ever goes to base command UNLESS called for by commanding officer, or if they have a report to make about the recent mission, or growth of their squad. Slick going to gather intel for Ventress and the droids was pure betrayal. Cody said it best at the end of this episode: “if you loved your brothers, you wouldn’t have put them at risk.”
Yeah Chopper was right we forgot to check Slick were interrogating all the squad including the leader of them to sometimes even the highest rank member of a squad or squadron or even an entire unite can be a traitor just like how General Benedict Arnold defecated from the American rebel side to my people side because the Americans treated him so poorly after his heroic's at the battle of Saratoga when he made the rebels win more country support for them during the first American civil war right guys!
"I always knew there was something _deficient_ about you." Damn... Gus didn't even hesitate to think his brother was a traitor; can't imagine this went unheeded, even with what happened afterward. Just wish to have seen more of Slick's boys...
Who doesn't want to take trophies after taking out someone who took out some of your best buddy's i think they should have given him a medal for being so committed to the war that he would reward himself with battle Droid fingers lol 💪👍
Because this is considered a war crime. In real life, a sick person would take ears, fingers, or their badges after a battle. A medal is very valuable than taking things that aren’t yours. In the clones wars case, unless you’re out of ammo and need an enemy weapon, it’s a violation of taking anything based on their war laws. chopper’s trophy is supposed to be his clone armor and helmet. damage or not. Not battle droid fingers. It’s a weaken mental state if losing any friends from enemies hands but soldiers still have limits.
@kevinkeung9336 I completely agree with you, how I think about tv shows like cartoons is obviously different than what I think about in real life situations, it's the star wars universe many things in the star wars universe is way way different from real life 💯👍
@kevinkeung9336 I'm not sure of this, but what about taking the weapons of fallen enemies? Surely you'd wanna figure out how they work for an effective counter, or what about uniforms? For disguises?
@1nfinitune533 absolutely a good idea and taking weapons and uniforms from fallen enemies has been done by pretty much everyone in all of history for example modern-day soldiers and even all the way back to the ninja, it's a very clever tactic to take the weapons and uniforms of fallen enemies 👍💯
@@X3H3XDisguising yourself as an enemy gives them a free pass to execute you if you are ever found out. Theres a famous picture and video reel of German soldiers being executed for wearing US uniforms and driving tanks disguised as US tank destroyers during the Battle of the Bulge
It's that he's taking a piece of an enemy's body as a trophy similar to how US soldiers took fingers and ears from dead Japanese soldiers during the Pacific War.
3:43 couldn’t Slick of just came up with a simple excuse, like he could of just noticed the Jedi were gone. All the other clones would had to of noticed that the Jedi were gone.
Slick could have easily lied about knowing the Jedi were gone. He could have said he was walking past the command centre when they were talking about the mission
There’d still be no reason for him to be there since that area was restricted to Commissioned officers(be it clone officers like Rex/Cody or regular republic officers like Admiral Yularen) and Jedi generals only. Then they’d ask what he was doing in a restricted area that’s only for the top brass.
So how was Slick able to bypass his microchip? Aren’t clones programmed to be loyal? Even Rex who was able to resist Order 66 for just a second couldn’t help follow the orders.
Clones can only be absolutely loyal during the activation of inhibitor chips. In normal times like this, they can develop independent thoughts and personalities due to diverse interaction with the Jedi and the Galaxy. They are loyal to an extent. But some just have limits and gone rogue. Like Cut
Ever since TCW (2008) came out, it overwrote the Legends canon that clones are absolutely loyal. They have independent personalities and beliefs ever since. Their absolute loyalty is only when Order 66 is called in
Well. Here are some facts that distinguish clones from TCW from clones from the EU: In TCW, the clones execute Order 66 because of the inhibitor-chips implanted in their brains and neither the clones nor the Jedi knew about the order. The clones from the EU do it due to a legal contingency order out of 150 they were taught on their training on Kamino and both the Jedi and clones were aware of the order. The clones in the EU are indoctrinated to follow Orders of the chain in Command, which is Chancellor Palpatine while the clones in TCW are more independent and Individual as we see in this video. Both Canon and Legends are tragic in their own ways. The clones in both continuities are slaves to Palpatine, just in different ways. Both versions of them were forced into a galactic war they were never asked for. Clones from Canon are victims to the inhibitor-chips while clones from Legends are slaves to their indoctrination. Canon clones and Legends clones have different paths in their lives. In both continuities, the Jedi Order starts out feeling uncomfortable with the blind obedience in the clones. The thing is, they take different approaches to this issue. In Legends, most Jedi keep a professional relationship with the clones, which does nothing to counter the dislike the clones have to the Jedi for being too peaceful. In this case, it makes sense for the clones to unhesitatingly follow Order 66 because in a way there is no choice other than the state. They are conscious of what they're doing, but with the exception of Arc-troopers and Clone Commandos, what reason do Legends clones have to betray the state they swore loyalty to for leaders they don't like? Clones and Jedi do not form bonds that easily. In Canon, the Jedi instead try to influence the clones. They teach them to be more human and more independent thinkers. They have close friendships with them. The Jedi and Clones become comrades. Now, would some Canon Clones still carry out Order 66 by their free will? Yes. Just look at Dogma and Crosshair before they realize their mistakes. However, wouldn't most Canon Clones hesitate to kill their Jedi leaders before following orders, thus alerting the Jedi? I mean, the clones were even reluctant to execute Pong Krell, an actual traitor who hated clones. Dogma had to do it and felt like he needed to justify himself right afterwards. So in both continuities, they start out the same but turn out to be different. Briefly summarized: They only become more humanized in Canon/TCW while in Legends/EU they (naturally) remain much more droid like and much more unquestionably receptive to Palpatine's orders.
