I thought the scene where the clones are shooting the jedi was good, although I thought the jedi who were killed got their ASSES beaten. I mean c'mon they're jedi. How'd they get killed so quickly by a few clones? I thought they deserved a better death than by a clone with a gun.
Also did the clones knew about Sidious's plan all along or were they just taking orders without question?

Yeah....I just wished that they would show the jedi fighting backa BIt more...but the scene was nicely done...
the clones are like droids...who have been taght to follow orders....that was an order they were taught earlier on in their "lives"....at least that is what I think...

Sleeper program anyone?
But yeah that WAS sad, lots of people were crying during that midnight showin' man
what was the saddest death for me was Ki-Adi-Mundi's death..the look on his face and his desperation to block those bolts was very good
In my honest opinion, I think MORE Jedi should have been shown being slaughtered by clones. We saw Aayla Secura, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Plo Koon...but that's not everyone!
But those were the main Jedi everyone remembers. If Quilon Vos was shown getting blasted with a tank, I doubt people would care. I actually somewhat cared about Aayla, Ki-Adi, and Plo Koon some because they were on screen some.
And no, I don't count Quilon's useless cameo in TPM as memorable.
I agree..that was devastating seeing how effected Yoda was by everything. And his voice when he said farewell to Chewie and Tarrful? "Miss you I will.."
As to the clones..I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that a gene was implanted in every clone that made them instantly and without question obey the command of "Order 66"
i think the clones knew of order 66 before it was given. they knew instantly what it meant when sidious said to excecute it. they are completly loyal to the rebublic so they wouldnt question it, especially if they heard about it before hand. id say the emperor made them all aware of the possibility of jedi rebellion and told them that as soon as he gives the word to kill them. they are grown to have no independance and trained not to question orders so i dont think much thought came into it. and becuase of the lack of anger and malace the jedi probably wouldnt pick up on it very easily, which is shown especially when aayla secura was killed, she sensed something, saw the troopers raise their weapons and she reached for her saber and turned around to see what they were aiming at, only to be shot in the back by them. i think it wouldnt have taken plo koon a while to realise what was going on too, when they started shooting at him he probably thought he missed some enemy fighter that was on his back before he realised he was the target. the jedi on the speeder didnt even look at the troopers when the nodded to eachother and dropped back behind her. i think the commandos could have disobeyed though. they have alot more independance than the standard trooper. the arc's might have questioned it too, but the standard trooper will obey without question.
I find it hard to believe that the clonetrooper who handed Obi-Wan his lightsaber like a good friend would try to shoot him down after recieving the order.
