Jan Gaarni Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Movie performance does not do them justicy on this matter. They had to lose. The heroes had to win. And heroes have to win against overwhelming numbers otherwise where's the entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armi Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I want clones, but I don't really mind if its stormtroopers, just from some of the previews it says that the empire has to research to gain access to certain troops, iirc the latest Gamespot preview, or maybe clones turn into stormtroopers with experience which would kind of fit with what darthfergie said. Plus clones look cooler, and at the end of episode three there aren't any stormtroopers afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Sith Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 At this year in the Timeline, the Empire had killed all the clones left in their armies. The first 3 batches of Stormtroopers had come out of their academies giving them a Vast army again. Anyway, any clones left over from the clones wars would either be dead or dying from old age.

aggie_john Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 well that depends on how later this game starts after III. Remember it ends at IV not starts there. Also the emperior would never kill off the clones...Why they were so loyal to him, if anything they just retired some where, we also know for a fact that the first stormtroopers were clones and that atleast a small percent of them were still clones in the end, like the 501th.

Admiral Sith Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 It starts around 3-4 Year Before ANH, or so they say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what he ment was that the Emperor had exhausted his supply of clones after a time period through campaigns and such to the point where there were few to none left. I don't think he was saying the emperor took them out and slaughtered them for the good of the Empire. And you have a good point about the 501st. They were a clone regiment for sure. Admittedly some may have been replaced by the time of ANH, but from what it sounds like, there was a sizable amount of clones who were exceedingly loyal to the emperor. Sorry to get off on a tangent...I just find it interesting to think about what the Star Wars universe would be like without the Timothy Zahn establishing cloning used by the Emperor...

aggie_john Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 3-4 years seems wrong to me. I know they said that but it cant be, we never see venators or Aclamators in the movies Ican belive they would be in service all the way up to 3-4 years before the IV just to completely disapear, maybe they ment 3-4 years after III which would give us some time to work with.

Foshjedi2004 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Ok. The Acclamators and Venators were used right up to beyond the Dark Empire series 12 years after Yavin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you dont see a Venator or Acclaimator doesnt mean they all disapeared. It may mean that the Empire decided to use ISD's as its main vessel though, as seen in the original trilogy.
