Ep 108 A History of the Galaxy According To George Lucas Pt 04

know not not excellent okay no so anyway uh so yeah let's head back to the galaxy far far away order 66 and what the fuck is going on with that no let's Okay, so

the true horror of Order 66 is not the military efficiency of the clones, but the profound violation of the bond between the soldier and the general.

For three years, the Jedi and the clones lived, fought, and died together.

They shared the same trenches, the same rations, and the same losses.

The clones were not just soldiers, they were brothers.

And the Sith turned that intimacy into the ultimate execution protocol.

By embedding the inhibitor chips, Sidious didn't just command the clones to kill, he forced the Jedi to be murdered by the very people

they had fought hardest

to protect.

The Jedi's fatal flaw, their inability to proceed.

the danger within their own lines it was the product of their own humanity

which is again I mean we've talked about this we discussed it the hypocrisy even in the Jedi Order of you can't no Anakin No attachments.

Don't be going and getting attached to anybody.

And then they get attached to all these little Django veterans.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And Palpatine used that against them the same way he uses it against Anakin to bring him over to his side.

Exactly.

And they trusted the clones because they actually, you know, gave a shit about them.

Yeah.

Pretty much.

And it's hard not to.

You're in a fucking war with someone.

You gotta trust someone with your life.

You're probably bonded for life.
