Why Clone Trooer "Tup" Executed ORDER 66 Early

[@edwardsmith7131]

Rex's resistance to killing Ashoka was amazing considering how many times he stunned her as part of Anakin's enhanced training for her.

[@MasterDarthJezza]

Possibly because Pong Krell was an enemy combatant rather than just being training?

[@GGBlaster]

@@MasterDarthJezza That might have something to do with it. Seeing as in one case they were training, it’s possible that it didn’t hit that same neural pathway because it didn’t have the same association in the mind.

[@warmox1215]

Because she also was his best friend, which would counteract that effect, and as MasterDarthJezza said, that was during training.

Sounds like he leaned to shoot her without any intend to harm...that might be an important part of his ability to resist. Good call

[@kingandros4819]

Just a small correction. Wrecker wasnt just made murderous bc of the chip. Since he was there during order 66 and witnessed his team NOT execute order 66, he saw them as traitors in violation of order 66 and therefore traitors against the empire/republic and as such justified summary execution. Its all very logical oddly enough.

Rex initially tried to kill Ashoka, but then after his chip was removed he was helping her. All I’m saying is that just like wrecker and the clones tried killing the bad batch because they were traitors and refused to carry out order 66, the clones tried killing Rex because he refused to carry out order 66 by not killing and instead helping Ashoka.

[@Ghiaman1334]

I'd much prefer to use Occam's Razor here: his chip malfunctioned at random. There were at least 1.2m clones, probably many more, and only Tup's chip went off prematurely. If it were about something Clones experienced regularly, or an action clones could do, even by accident, then more would have experienced the same thing. If it were about firing a stun round at a Jedi, then any clone involved in Anakin's training of Ahsoka seen in Tales of the Jedi should have also experienced this malfunction. Technology is never perfect, much like biology. One or either of those two elements, coming together in the form of an inhibitor chip attached to a clone's brain, could have something just minorly defective or wrong enough to activate the Order 66 chemical release. Tup feels the effect multiple times in the run-up to his final submission to the order, so it's safe to say the malfunction released a lot of neurological signals and chemicals.

[@SanguineRoku]

I think head trauma might actually be the cause here as well. Wrecker took several hits and months of ignoring the problem, but he's not exactly normal. Tup takes some hard hits in the few instances we see him fighting, and might even have jostled himself when he tackled fives earlier, leading to the head trauma flaring up and activating the chip.

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

​@purpleemerald5299It could actually still be caused by brain trauma. That area of the brain was damaged and it triggered an immune response, where Tup's body essentially tried to nuke the chip and, well, it didn't end well

I didn’t remember or realize that it was Tupp who stunned Pong Krell. This makes a ton of sense. Thanks for the video.

[@Apollo1989V]

I feel like order 66 could be delayed by extreme willpower and personal connection that the clone felt towards the target. Rex had both factors, plus the warning from Fives, that allowed him to resist the chip long enough so that Asoka could escape and find a solution to their problem.

On 2005 Battlefront journals, the clone narrator speaks multiple times about his thoughts about the Jedi. In Mygeeto he says: "We realized that the Jedi could br fooled.

[@ouabain]

I remember somewhere in the TV show that that Keminoans had to “stretch” Jango Ferris DNA. This would obviously lead to an increase in mutations, defects, etc as the source material would be degraded. Tup was a newer clone, so perhaps he had a defect, which maybe rejected the chip, causing it to decay

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

That makes a lot of sense. Tup likely had more mutations which weren't entirely accounted for

[@MachJacob343]

Interestingly, the other theories can easily be disproved but this one can't, at least not as easily. I'm only aware of one other clone who notably shot a Jedi prior to Order 66: Dogma. He was taken into Republic custody and never seen again, so we don't know if he reacted the same way (or if he was even alive to do so). Fox might have shot Ahsoka when he arrested her, I can't quite remember, but he was also much older than Tup.

[@edwardsmith7131]

Which makes Rex's resistance to killing Ashoka even more epic. Remember: Anakin had Rex and a group of other clones specifically target Ashoka in her "special" combat training that he cooked up. Rex had shot at and stunned Ashoka so many times by that point that when Order 66 dropped he "should have" simply capped Ashoka like Cad Bane would have.

More questions worth investigating: Do the Orders operate if given by anyone other than Darth Sidious? If he had appeared in the holo messages as Chancellor Palpatine would they still have initiated? Does the contingency for clones to arrest the Chancellor operate as simply a bluff should they be discovered, or was it a plan for if Palpatine was removed from power that he could have the clones arrest the new chancellor and he could resume his position? Or did he have his own concerns about his ability to lead his own empire such that he could use this Order to remove himself if he felt compromised?

[@tba113]

Possibly. The idea that his chip fired early because it had been primed by having to deal with Pong Krell's treachery is certainly a compelling theory. That said, given that the neural inhibitor chip is designed to seamlessly integrate itself and its program into the single most complex system in the entire Grand Army of the Republic, I'm inclined to think that it was simply a faulty chip, and Tup was just unlucky enough to have it go off during combat when a Jedi was present. I mean, he certainly doesn't act like the other Clone Troopers when their chips are activated. They carried out their orders with the same sense of tactics and precision they did everything else: fighter pilots flying in combat, armor crewmen running self-propelled field guns, infantry taking firing-squad positions and letting the Jedi open the distance for them, that sort of thing, all with no loss of combat efficiency, just different targets. Tup, on the other hand, completely spaces out: he mumbles to himself, takes his helmet off, leaves cover, and walks in a haze towards his target, all during a blistering firefight. He still had the inhibitor chip rewire his IFF to retarget the Jedi as hostile, but there was clearly some serious neurological backfiring going on that the other clones' chips never caused.

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

Not exactly. The clones are shown to be a lot more reckless under Order 66. They practically throw themselves at the Jedi in spots.

[@occam7382]

@@rosesweetcharlotte, the clones definitely have an almost suicidal committment to executing Order 66 (possibly because of the inhibitor chips suppressing their self-preservation instincts), but they do still make smart tactical moves when dealing with the Jedi. For example, when Rex was under the influence of the chip, he was smart enough to order his men to destroy Tribunal's escape pods and seal off the hangar to prevent Ahsoka from escaping the ship, so clearly Tup's trance-like state when he killed Tiplar is something unique.

[@danielschroder5733]

The more likely option would be that clones are condition from the moment of their "birth" and the inhibitor chip just keeps the conditioning inhibited. This would also explain the nightmares since while dreaming the concious and subconcious mind are more strongly connected.

The chip appeared to be rotten when it could actually be what the chip looks like after the order had been executed. Fives, who didn't execute it looked healthy.

[@TheMichaellathrop]

You also missed the conversation where several of the clones had Geanosian larva as mind control parasites in your section on proof of a per-existing neural pathway.

The only thing that makes me think twice about this theory is if it was slow suggestion process, why would control instantly return upon removal... or do you think maybe a chemical or something like that also acts as a pavlovian trigger which is why the chip has to be present to continue the process? I'm just thinking through the keyboard right now.

[@Atlas3060]

"The nightmares" the Clones refer to could also just be a consistent PTSD that they are bred with. I mean after all you're conditioned for warfare, no other means of touching grass at times, and you're also given an inhibitor chip to make sure you don't fly off the handle without specific orders. For all we know Tup's brain just broke due to the war and the chip malfunctioning at that time just made it worse.

I think your theory about classical conditioning in combination with powerful neurotransmitters is correct. I think that the brain releases neural transmitters such as acetylcholine to cause action and GABA to prevent action. If the damage to the brain affects the release of a positive acting neural transmitter then the clone will conduct the mission in his head without GABA being released to prevent it. If the brain is conditioned to release the chemical for a specific action repetitively, then the action might be harder to prevent with the release of GABA. For example, Rex was able to prevent the action for a limited time before his brain was overwhelmed.

Through hypnosis, one can induce falses memories, so the comparison is not far fetched.

Tup was just doing a pro gamer move

I save my fast food recipes that are Order 66. Crazy how it happens quit often.

[@quantemwensday]

no wrecker heard hunter tell rex that he didn't follow order 66 and that is what set him in a murderous rampage when the chip was having an effect because everyone around him was in violation of that order

[@joseangelesrojas6406]

I love clone trooer tup

[@motherteresa8418]

Imagine if Krell or Dexter's species met Mr plinket as the only human. They'd think humans don't make good Jedi based on body type

[@theRandallorian85]

i think the subconsious sleeping thingy makes a lotta sense (even though i cant say it right xD) and also makes me think back to when dogma shot krell. if tups actions started by stunning a jedi and ending that bad what couldve happened after dogma KILLED krell. very interesting take thanks for makin the vid! God bless

[@motherteresa8418]

It's not just feels that rude chemicals memories are chemical imprints. Activating neurons activate my chemicals light. The chips even have no organic parts light disc so it's program. And by the way photos are chemical in prints

[@neilcollins4210]

Hmm, it has potential, but how would this work with entire regiments firing at red lightsabers and former Jedi like Dooku, Ventress, and Ashoka.

[@Equinox0709]

I believe that a clone was calling Tupe during the battle and Palpatine was practicing his order 66 lines.

[@InfiniteNaos]

So many different clues that contributed to Order 66. Yet, the Jedi were so blind to them all.

[@ajthereptile]

The answer is the Clone Wars Season 6 Episode 4 where Palpatine says that a parasite known to Ringo Vinda caused the inhibitor chip to decay and fail, causing Tup to prematurely execute Order 66.

[@stryver1414]

The Chinese order 66 got me rolling 😂

[@caseymalkiewicz6689]

The real reason is he had an aneurysm when he was told that order 66 had been dumbed down to being a magic murder tumor instead of clever manipulation by Palpatine.

[@Oblit548]

Totally makes sense!

[@CT-316]

During the worm brain invaders episode, one of the worm possessed clones says to Ahsoka Bariss, "If there's one thing we clones know, it's how to kill a Jedi!" So it the anti-Jedi sentiment was definitely already implanted, albeit with great subtlety

[@Meravokas]

Well, one of the things that we see is that the 'chip' that we is the actual one pulled from Tup, is diseased and almost cancerous looking compared to the ones we see removed from Cody, the Bad Batch, the one we're shown as a semi false lead at the start. Being a later generation clone with degraded genetics, given that the chip would need to be compatible with his biology given that the 'chip' is itself biological. It'd likely come from the same batch of tissue. A mutation in the chip started to cause issues even if he perhaps had a disposition that might have leaned towards being more susceptible to it's other purposes as well as it started to degrade and mutate. Perhaps even not long after it had been implanted. Nothing is going to go right 100% of the time no matter the skills of the creators. Especially when considering all things biological. Problems will crop up. Even if to much much less minor degrees.

[@EternalQuasar]

Trooer

[@zero69kage]

One explanation, and probably the simplest is simply brain cancer. If I remember correctly in that episode they show the chips side by side. You can clearly see what I'm assuming are meant to be tumors on tupp's. It makes sense as the original genetic material runs out, the chances that an unwanted mutation occurs is more likely.

[@seanreilly3400]

The only Star Wars channel I watch. I like Allen cause like myself he’s not one sided like most people being liberals or conservatives. He tries to analyze things from all angles like a smart human being. Unlike super far left or super far right people

[@Agarricus]

Imagine if Tup had killed Anakin rather than Tiplar, it would have changed a lot

[@SeanWheeler100]

Unfortunately, Anakin's the exception to Order 66 as he was able to march into the Jedi Temple with a whole army of Order 66 clones helping him. I think that's why Tup never went after Anakin, because Palpatine planned on turning Anakin into Darth Vader, he programmed Order 66 so that Anakin and himself are the only Force users that the clones don't target. Now, if Anakin never turned to the Dark Side, that would have changed a lot, because not only would there not be a Darth Vader and Anakin would be on the Rebels' side, he'd survive Order 66 much easier than the other Jedi because he's not an Order 66 target.

[@Agarricus]

@@SeanWheeler100 honestly, I've got to disagree with that, I wouldn't think the chips could be selective enough that they were designed to target every jedi except one Also I think palpatine wouldn't have left that weakness in his army, just for the chance that anakin didn't betray the jedi

[@SeanWheeler100]

@@Agarricus Then why didn't Tup act aggressive towards Anakin? Why did he only target Tiplar and Tiplee?

[@Agarricus]

@@SeanWheeler100same reason it was Tiplar and not Tiplee, my guess would be because she was the closest, and had a moment of defenslessnes from his angle

[@SeanWheeler100]

@@Agarricus Tiplee wasn't so defenseless when she pushed him back.

[@WolfeSaber]

It's one of those days when Star Wars makes more sense than stuff like the Halo TV series.

Awesome theory!

Sounds like a really good theory to me.
