Which way do you prefer?Brain chips or no brain chips?
Why would he need brain chips when they're bio-engineered to obey him?
No chips. They were unnecessary and taking away the agency of the clones in that moment feels like a copout made by a kid who didn't want the PROTO-STORMTROOPERS to look like bad guys.
>>219217844Brain chips? Why would you need brain chips? I thought the clones were just raised from birth to be obedient soldiers
>>219217844No brain chips. I think it ties nicely into the Jedi being stupid to trust an army of indoctrinated child soldiers while also using the to fight the republics war.
>>219217844I would prefer an Order 66 without brain chips because brain chips are stupidunfortunately no brain chips is even dumber and more nonsensical, so I am forced to go with an explanation I dislike over explanations I dislike much worse
Can we all agree that The Clone Wars was a mistake?
>>219219332this scene single-handedly justifies all 120-odd episodes, even the shitty darth maul ones
Filoni shit is not canon
>>219219481neither is EUshit either tartakucksky
>>219219481who decides canon

>>219219332It was unironically one of Lucas' biggest mistakes.

No one likes brain chips. If George wasn't totally resigned by that point, he would have stopped it.
>>219217844You need to be more specific. Are you asking if I prefer the clones to have agency or not? Or are you asking if I prefer for their genetic programming that makes them totally obedient without question manifesting physically in the form of a brain tumor that can be removed or not?If it's the former, then the clones don't have agency and never did. It was established by Lucas both in the films and in the interviews. Clones did not have free will when executing Order 66. Order 66 was a secret directive programmed into them that could only be issued by Darth Sidious, unbeknownst to the Jedi, the Senate, and the clones themselves. They were programmed to obey Darth Sidious, and they could not physically question it or refuse it. It's Manchurian Candidate. Clones having free will is a licensed material retcon made by the writers who had nothing to do with the movies and just did not understand them. Clones were never meant to be morally responsible for it, ever since Episode 2 established that they were physically altered before they were born, thus robbed of agency on a genetic level. They are meant to be living weapons, not someone consciously making the choice of pulling the trigger. They mirror the droid army.If it's about the latter, that it is something physical that can be removed, then I honestly don't care much, as long as you make it difficult and the clone can die in the process or something like that, so that it isn't too easy and has a price. In the original 1962 Manchurian Candiate film, programming was broken by visual symbols and words. In the Manchurian Candidate 2004 remake, it was an actual implant that could be physically removed, adding more body horror to the concept. Knowing how much Lucas takes from various movies, it is not surprising.

>>219217844chips rob what little agency clones have entirely they all become dindu nuffinsthey were already bred to be completely obedient to the republic, adding a chip is just an extra complication i'm certain the only reason why they were even introduced is because the tcw writers ran into a wall where the clones were too buddy buddy with the jedi for them to just turn on them because of an order the eu had a better idea of where many jedi commanders were actually just retarded when it came to military tactics and many clones began to silently resent them for it
>>219217844It depends on the direction of clones.Book clones pre disney were just mandolarians who obeyed order 66 because muh honor and the jedi treated them poorly. no chip works because Jedi are written to be shitty.Battlfront 2 clones are just fps shooter protagonist who don't have personality and are there for war and bred for war. No chip works because you're not really a character who interacts with anything outside war.The Clone Wars clones are both charachters and the jedi generally don't treat them like fodder so them turning on the jedi seems less likely.I'm for chip just because why would Palp take the chance the chip is just a visual form of indoctrination hypnosis shit which is what I thought was the case when I first saw episode 3.The "better" option is no chip and you have clones who activily debate the order throughout the war before it comes up and and hope they dont have to deal with fighting their life purpose conflicting with their growing individual personality. But again if I was a evil space wizard I wouldn't even take the risk of my sleeper agent army. The bigger issue is that after war you had chipped clones feel bad when the chip should've just personality reset them to default drones.
>>219217844I would prefer it if all star wars fags had their skin removed

>>219220736Why are you attempting them over a random post on the internet?
>>219217844Filoni fucked up by giving them personalities. That was never part of the plan.
I fucking despise the hideous art style of Filoni slop. The writing is shit too.
>>219217844Nothing that wasn’t in the original Lucas movies is canon.
>>219221125So where does Shaak Ti fit into this?
