Clones in The Clone Wars

This thread is for discussion the role of clones in the upcomming Movie/TV series.

Starting with this clip from www.starwars.com

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.

Development? Quite presumptious.

cool

Really no different to the animated series, then.

I am sure Jar Jar will have more screen time than all the clones together.

He'd beter not.

Platooooooooooon.

Or an Apocalypse Now parody.

Either would have me watching.

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.

I wouldn't if I were you... just to save you the disappointment.

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.

Nothing was ever mentioned about thier wants, goals, feelings, etc. I think its highly likely we'll see something of that magnitude.

Just because you refuse to interpret or extrapolate a moral sense doesn't mean they don't have one.

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.

I'll start writing the script. 😉

Well at least you're not affected by the "you can write it but you can't say it" dogma that Lucas has!

How would you know? 😉

Give us a draft!

It takes a while.

Or did ya mean beer?
