Why Are All the Clones IDENTICAL on Kamino in the BAD BATCH.

If you take a look at the first episode of the Bad Batch all of the Regular Clones on Kamino look exactly the same... no tattoos, no haircuts or dye, why is this?

I feel like Kamino is like being in Boot Camp - the newer clones are expected to act and behave a certain way. That's why they all look near identical there. I feel like, as Clones are allowed to explore and be out on the field - those standards begin to slip, and they are allowed to explore their identity.

I mean, that identicality things can come later in their training, to be really specific like one another, meanwhile when they are young, those esthetic rules arent apply, so when they growth up, their privileges are taken away for a more formal and disciplinary manner and in this way, get to know to follow order and what their purpose is etc... You could also ask: Why those kids dont carry an helmet and a blaster, well the answer would be the same as for the haircut or the cut off from their individuality.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. And it wasn't just Domino squad, it was the other squads as well.

But once the clones are out in combat, their commanders start to give less shits about how they look and more about how they fight.

@@alxphx Idk, it could be a reference to the Republic Commando novels where the Commandos (and even in some ways ARC troopers and definitely Null ARCs) saw normal clones as inferior to a degree-- they were all brothers, but personality wise they saw most of the regs as blank slates, until the regs were exposed to culture and started thinking for themselves a bit more.

When I remember right, that psychosis problem with the "Express Clones" came only into play when you shorten the cloning process (which is possible but for that reason not recommended).

The Spaarti Clone theory is my favorite and has been a part of my headcanon for years. I assumed that the Troopers Fordo led on Coruscant against the Droid Invasion were in fact the first few batches of Spaarti Clone Troopers that he trained personally. Being out in the Outer Rim Sieges for at most 9 months Kenobi and Skywalker's Forces were never reinforced with Spaartis (Or V-Wing Interceptors) until they returned to Coruscant. The majority of Clone casualties on Utapau for example were Spaartis. The Empire used Spaartis and Kaminoan Clones for a few months before Recruitment and Conscription of Stormtroopers became common practice eventually outnumbering both Spaarti and Kaminoan Clones by orders of magnitude. The Kaminoan Cloning program was halted however Spaarti Cloning would continue with different templates (High performing Imperial Military Personnel were Cloned). Kaminoan Clones were given the opportunity to retire however a large chunk chose to stay as Stormtroopers. The last Kaminoan Clone Batch was ready for battle in 10 BBY.

Considering how Spaarti cylinders work, they could have used Fordo as the template for the flash learning as well.

I think it's a combination of the show's budget and storytelling. It's cheaper and saves time to use the same generic model multiple times. Also, since the closes are now villains, having them look generic prevents the viewer from getting attached to them and seeing them as people. The Bad Batch can massacre an entire battalion of generic clones and the viewers won't care. In The Clone Wars show, the clones had more individuality. The viewers grew attached to them and felt a sense of loss when one died, yet we didn't care about the countless generic B1's that got destroyed. In terms of canon, I'd like to think that these are new clones that haven't been assigned, and that their chips are suppressing their desire for individuality under the empire. I like to think that the use of Spaarti clones explains why the ones in The Bad Batch seem incompetent and outright dumb in some cases. It was also said that the original Jango Fett DNA was degrading, which may lead to lower quality clones and explain why they seem to be less intelligent and bad shots.

[@whiteglint7694]

I hate when they do that. "Ahh make them all the same faceless evil guys. The viewers won't care obviously." What lazy writing.

[@mechredd]

@@whiteglint7694 it's not that the viewers won't care about them all being faceless bad guys, it's that the viewers won't care when they die. It's a common story telling technique. We typically don't know anything about the cannon fodder henchmen in movies and TV because the writers don't want the viewers to get attached to them. It makes the heroes seem more heroic when they kill faceless minions, and the villains more villainous when they kill known and well liked characters. Bad writing occurs when a character is introduced then gets killed with no character development occurring. The main characters feel a sense of loss and act like it's very important but the viewers don't care because they don't know this person. Think of Art Lean from Mortal Kombat. If you're familiar with the movie but don't know whom I'm talking about, then that illustrates my point.

The Kamino Guard are still in Kamino and are still recognized as a security force. The clone shock troopers are in Kamino because Tarkin and a jedi was present. It's also Kamino and Palpatine would want to keep it secure, due to most of their operations are there (Such as project war mantle). They are also probably there to ensure a smooth transition from the Republic to the Empire and to supervise the other units. Like Generation tech said, Palpatine had a major influence on the shock troopers. The Kamino scientists probably have a similar influence on the Kamino guard and the regs there, so it could lead to an uprising of some sorts. They could somehow deactivate the chips or something. For short, the shock troopers are probably there to supervise Kamino.

My theory: They are nothing more than background characters. Generic soldiers for the Bad Batch to shoot up. The only reason some clones in The Clone Wars were unique was that they were key characters or were meant to stick out from the rest. Rex, Fives, Cody, etc. were all within the key characters group. It was also easier for Dee Bradly Baker to distinguish their personality. Alternatively, the Bad Batch calls other clones "regs" implying that they are meant to be the same. Honestly, I really do think it is as simple as these clones are background characters.

[@spencerrr9878]

Its some non-canon theory that I always see lots of people talk about. There was some theory rolling around that the chips removed all their personalities but we can see in this very episode and Siege of Mandalore that this isnt true so idk

[@anonymousaccount4483]

@@spencerrr9878 People act trike the clones were possessed or became droids or something. But I see the chips as a drug

[@sknfmsmr]

Not only to kill the jedi. But permenantly make them think that it was the right choice and make the doubt go away, and maybe this big shift in their head made their personality change? Make them think the wrong is right? And act "evil"?? I personally can't think some clones could be bad. Including Slick and Fox of course

[@mohammadrezapahlavi4578]

The inhibitor chips have a very easy and simple explanation, they are _inhibitor_ chips. The clones are just that, clones. Clones are little better than droids without someone teaching them how to be a sentient. The Kaminoans probably just removed individualism from the cloning process or curriculum.

[@mattd2026]

Spaarti clones would be neat

[@RazvanMihaeanu]

Laziness, that's why!

a lack of budget?

Anothrer thing might be them being on Kamino where they might watch them more than in war

[@Free_Krazy]

Wait, Allen, you have just expanded my own head-canon to explain why, and more importantly how clones paint their armor! Thanks!

[@Shinyspddmn]

"After the Kamino uprising, the Emperor decided that an army of genetically identical soldiers was too susceptible to corruption. Future troopers would be cloned from a variety of templates. Though the 501st itself remained pure, the rest of the Imperial Army gradually became more and more diverse. We never really got used to the new guys."

[@markmcgoey9910]

They’re definitely just newer clones that just finished training (at least that’s my head canon) cool theory tho

[@Kylorenz710]

501st! vs a legion of armed assult dolphins Allen who ya got?!

[@straswa]

Great vid GenTech, yeah I think you are right, these are new clones.

[@mitchcoleman1238]

I’m gonna guess that the clones we saw on Kamino were shinies just like you said!

[@charleslathrop9743]

They're all identical because the series is from the perspective of the bad batch. The bad batch looks around and feels strongly that they are the only ones who stand out as different.

[@diegochipres1681]

Cause they're clones xd

[@roarbahamut9866]

I am really glad that they kept the art style. Sometimes companies try to fix something that isn’t broken. Within the first minute of watching the bad batch I was already back home, watching season 1 of clone wars on TV in the evening. Good old times.

[@user-Jay178]

The empire wants no individuality. Great video

[@Robbstark2024]

“Why are all the clones identical?” Is like asking “why is this library full of books?”

[@masterjaninosaurustheone2323]

you got SO GOOD at the beginning, my jaw drop, i was like: wait a min, how did this happen?

[@carlmacpherson4947]

It is probably something as simple as these clones haven't seen enough combat or time out in the galaxy to start developing their own personalities and ways to stand out.

[@CT--bp3il]

"Why Are All the Clones IDENTICAL on Kamino in the BAD BATCH." Idk, maybe because they're CLONES!.

My fan fiction is starwars crossed with the Orville universe waiting for season 3 with the Orville encounters an spaces whales with thrawn and Ezra with imperial fleet!

[@jauxro]

I like this explanation

[@kimheinen6860]

I think this was done before the New Order actually. In TCW season 7, we can actually see the 501st troopers are way less individual. With the exception of Rex and Jesse, the "regs" mostly looked all alike. Even Kix, who had a bald head with tattoos in earlier seasons was now shown with standard haircut. So I believe as Palpatine and the Military took more and more control from the Jedi, they made new regulations about customizing armor or looks of regs. That would explain it and make sense.

[@mattd2026]

They're all identical because the animators are lazy! Like how did the bald clones get a full head of hair so quickly

[@ollie9321]

Did you just use the word lazy? This show is the opposite of lazy

[@mattd2026]

[@PhillieCheezeKC]

When you mentioned the short time it takes to produce a battle droid as opposed to a clone, I got an idea. It could have been cool if Clone Wars or another series did a droid construction montage similar to the bullet montage at the beginning of Lord of War.

[@darthstormtrooper8406]

I think that’s the point that’s why the name clone comes in

[@L33T_Taco]

Theres also a big battle on Kamino, where the kaminoins, or however you spell it, knew the Empire didn't want clones anymore. So they started to make their own army of clones using different methods or different DNA to fight back against the empire. This part of the timeline might be a little too early but its also a nice idea that we should be seeing ALOT more different clones here in the near future of the Bad Batch series and possible Omega might be the first test subject.

[@Nik-fz3fi]

They’re probably the youngest clones who haven’t even left kamino and probably haven’t gotten a chance to express themselves yet

[@rougegamer5078]

i wonder if the republic ever made drop pods like halo odsts itd be sick to see a squad oc clone commandos dropping form teh aky into battle

[@brecibros2469]

There is a lore reason for this. It's because the kaminoans were obsessed with organization. And most of the kamino guard were all standardized like that same haircut such and such

[@ReformedRedpill]

The crazy thing is the closer you are to your team the more effective you can be. That's why its harder to get things done under an outside hire manager or even a brand new squad leader in the millitary.

[@toakongu1]

I had nearly forgotten about the Spartii clones. They came u pin the Republic Commando series because one of the main commandoes mentioned Kamino rainstorms and the Spartii clone said he never saw rain on Kamino or something to that effect. The Spartii clones also explain why the Stormtroopers were horrendous shots. Plot armor with an in universe explanation.

[@josephperdue8469]

Kamino cloners wanted a standard basic unit product. They had product to sell and a reputation to maintain for future increased profit margins. These clones of which you speak were nubes still in and/or just graduating from their basic training cycles. Only while in the field under Jedi leadership were troopers allowed to express their growing individuality; as most fair minded Jedi encouraged this evolution of their humanity.

[@katusakirocks5630]

Fun fact: In EU, Clones were not allowed to be different and unique because they thought it’d make them less intimidating. No tattoos, no different armor. They also were not allowed to paint there armor. The only troopers allowed to have paint were the 501st due to them being Vader’s personal legion. (Of course I’m sure there’s more Clone Legions). Also, on the clone shock trooper then. They were supposed to have different armor because they are normally mainly on Coruscant. Because of them being already widely feared. So they had no problem with leaving the armor on. Not gonna lie, I love Shock-Troopers, my favorite one is Fox. Ok bye now Allen.
