On the offical site,a cloning hint?

On the StarWars.Com Epi.II page you see those circle things next to photos,cast,etc.Are those cloning tanks?

Ya know, that's what I've always thought! You can see little ladders on the pods leading to entrance hatches. I think it would be cool if that big factory-like area is a cloning facility.

I was waiting for someone to responed to this.After all I posted it 3 months ago.

I think they're storage tanks of some kind..but I don't think they're used for cloning..Those ladder things are too small. IMO

Can someone please tell me where this idea of cloning factories came from? Who wants to see clones being made right in the middle of Ep2? Not me.

We might not see clone being made...we just see the place then OB1 kicks some clonetrooper butt...works for me 🙂

Why are the ladders too small? Perhaps the pods just have to be really big like that to store loads of energy to feed into the clone or something.

It still doesn't seem like a very efficent design..I would think a cloning facility would need to conserve space...but hey! This is SCI-FI right? Who knows..

The clone factories should be on Mandalore. Have I gone over this before?

😂 Yes..but you might want to share you theory with the new guys...

Someone told me that cloning and the clone wars wouldn't be seen until Episode 3, as this would be a good time for the Jedi to be wiped out.

Really? everything I've heard indicates that we'll see it in EP2...

Well has Lucas actually confirmed it yet? I don't know if he has actually stated that we definately would be seeing them in Episode 2.

Hmmmm, I don't think it's be offically confirmed yet, no..Unless it was in the new SW Insider..

Perhaps they'll take place over both films. Most wars last for years after all.

Very true...I think that would be most likely.

Is it still unknown exactly what the Clone Wars are, or does someone know? Are the clones confirmed to be Stormtroopers fighing against the Jedi or are they meant to be Mandalorians?
Anyone know?

I'm guess there will be some clones in there somewhere. 🙂

Yes, that would be the most obvious thing. But were they mentioned much in the first drafts for Star Wars?
And isn't there a book called "The Essential Chronology of Star Wars" that has information about the wars?

Yes, I nearly bought it when I was on vacation. I had a quick flick through and there's a lot in there. Amazon sell it both Stateside and in the UK.
