can someone explain my why the "good guys" made what's likely the most unethical army in fiction?
how is a clone army a thing? that's practically like breeding brainwashed slaves for war.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

IMPORTANT
Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

MODERATORS
It was wildly unethical and the Jedi weren’t particularly happy with the clone army being created, but the republic was happy with an army that didn’t have “real” people dying…
The Jedi instituted some changes for better treatment of the clones, such as giving them actual names, but it wasn’t much more than surface level fixes
The response to your answer is : I don’t know
Palpatine and Dooku commissioned the clone army in secret, then revealed it as a solution to the robot army attacks, which they also funded. The Jedi/Republic accept the help begrudgingly. Unfortunately, I rewatched ep 1-3 recently.
unfortunately?
they are fun. they have their fair share of potholes, but no one dare complain they aren't fun and an amazing experience to watch.
there are so fucking iconic, no wonder half the script was turned to memes.
So they’re Lockeed & Martin
Watching that movie the first time, I was expecting the plot to be about freeing the clone troopers, not using them.
That’s a better idea
This is probably a real tweet, but I am not going to verify. I'm just not going to do it anymore. I have lost count of the times I have doubled checked to see if the meme or screenshot is from a real tweet and it turns out to be true.
That's... What I'm here for
Edit of missed opportunity:
And so this guy comes up to me, big guy, tall guy, tears in his big black eyes, and he says, "sir, as many clones as you want, we have them, sir. Would you like to see the factory?"
And I said, "Of course, are these clones manufactured in America? I want to see them!" And so now were charging 30% tariffs on these clones from Kamino, as of August 1. Or maybe not. I don't know. STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN!!!!
Ahhhhhhh noo ahhhhh get reality out of my memessssss
POTUS you have better things to do then be on Lemmy......
The funny thing is that he's so full of himself that it would be clones of himself, and well, they would need bigger armor
Bring out the breastplate stretcher!
GODS I WAS STRONG THEN
Dude, your meme-game is tight!
Toight like a toiger.
And they'd all have bone spurs
And no matter what the kaminoans try, they can't seem to remove it from the genetic pool, they can't even find it.
Diaper upkeep would cost too much Money.
Wait... If we cut funding to homeland security we could fund big diaper.
The sad part is someone like his wife actually created a spawn of darth cheeto. So gross
The golden dome explained.
Yay, we can get our... fully sentient meatshield slaves to fight for us! We are good people!
