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

[@ThereMayBeLions]

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.

[@SwordsmanMercenary]

[@Yourantsally]

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...

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.

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 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 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.

[@centralrnrockets3500]

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.

[@markmcgoey9910]

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

[@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.

@@PrimarisBlackTemplaDraven nope, 3.75 is for everyone, including collectors, at least originally. They used to be highly articulated, and Hasbro has somewhat come back to that. It's a shame they cost a lot nowadays.

[@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.

[@chetw3139]

As a triplet, I'm going with budget issues and maybe the chips screwing with things. Also, fresh clones. However personality starts EARLY. There may be a dependancy on one another but each SHOULD be unique. Speaking from experience here...

[@Kylorenz710]

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

[@Ectoniz]

The higher ups also could have just outlawed individuality and made rules saying they had to look like/meet a certain standard

[@baileymash]

Still don't understand why the clones turned "evil"ish after order 66 when all that order did was make them want to kill jedi.

[@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.

[@VirgiMacG]

The message using the clone armor colors is priceless 👍🏾

[@ImieNazwiskoOK]

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

[@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.

[@Robbstark2024]

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

[@slickmanfonzthatanti-troll]

Maybe all the main clones we loved in CW such as Cody, Nova, Fox, etc. Will appear in Season 2 of The Bad Batch. Just like how in The Mandalorian season 2. We got characters like Ahsoka, Bo Katan, Boba Fett & Luke.

[@mattd2026]

Spaarti clones would be neat

[@Lukas-mp3xl]

This is just almost a day or so after order 66. My theory is that those troopers we see are just shines. I don’t think that almost every trooper in the entire army has their armor painted white that quickly.

[@CT--bp3il]

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

[@justanotherct1996]

Jesse no what they're clones no way you're fibing

[@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.

[@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.

[@johnpaulson8199]

I think the directors or who ever also missed a important detail, like the first episode the clone commander of Kanan's unit didn't have the commander look just a ring around his neck and that's it. I think they just wanted the season out and to just focus on the Bad Batch.

Two reasons probably to show the change of how the republic treated them to how the empire treated the clones and they had so much visuals already they probably had to save on budget and simply giving unique designs for let’s say at the least 70 clones was a sacrifice the crew made to give us the best story

[@thes7274473]

As a huge fan of the Thrawn trilogy, I'd be very happy to see Spaarti clones return to canon. But it doesn't make sense for them to be on Kamino.

[@Kaddicus]

This ^^. The one issue I have with the Spaarti theory is why the hell they're on Kamino... unless Palps has secretly shifted them to Kamino in preparation to subdue the Kaminoans should they bring out a spare battalion or two they've been keeping in reserve (and the extra clone force has already been alluded to, so it could easily be this).
