Interviewer: It also seems to show a little bit more of the clone characters as well.
Lucas: Yeah, now we get introduced to the clones, which we didn't get in the movies. Now, they're like main characters and they really are central to the whole thing, and you can identify them and know who they are, and it's sort of like "Band of Brothers" only with Jedi. [laughs]
Therefore, we can expect to see a lot of development of who the clones are as people and as characters. It has also been noted that some episodes are expected to be clone only.
Except really, it could be. Clones had roles in the Gendy series, but we're now talking 22min episodes with character development. I'd expect a lot more.

Well I dunno. They had central roles, episodes dedicated to them, they had personalities, they talked...
Ok, same as the original animated series but in a bit more detail? The principle is still the same. And they are still people who we all know do not, ultimately, have any moral sense, so I am hardly going to care about them just because we see what they do.

Why would they have any goals, wants, feeling or moral senses that can stand in the way of their very purpose? There's no point to that. If you're gonna design clones, you wanna make sure you use all the benefits of them being human but do away with everything that might stand in the way of your goals.
You want the Clones to be more than they are.
Still think they should parody Platoon. Have one clone as a nut and another as the pseudo messiah. Be fun that. Actually, it wouldn't, but I still like the concept.

Their wants and goals are to serve; why would they be beyond that?
And the events of ROTS prove they do not have a moral sense; the only thing that counts for them is obeying orders. I'm not interpreting or extrapolating; it is flat out on screen.
As said- you are wanting them to be more than they are.
