Episode 039 - Endless Armies and a Half-Baked Palpatine: Cloning in Star Wars
Manage episode 371474244 series 3417034
Connor and Alex take an episode to explore cloning in the universe of Star Wars; who engages in cloning, what are the ethics in question, and how cloning figures into the larger tapestry of Star Wars storytelling. From the attitude of the Kaminoan cloners towards their creations, to the brotherhood and camaraderie that evolves between the clone troopers that fight for the Republic in The Clone Wars, to Order 66 and its implications for the free will of all clones, the hosts explore the galaxy’s attitude towards clones, and how cloning technology becomes central to not only Palpatine’s long-term goals, but a genie-out-of-the-bottle for the galaxy at large.
This episode contains spoilers for: Episode I, Episode II, Episode III, Episode IV, Episode VII, Episode VIII, Episode IX, Rogue One, The Clone Wars, The Book of Boba Fett, The Bad Batch, Kenobi, The Mandalorian, Darth Vader comics (2015 and 2020 series), Thrawn, and The Rise of Kylo Ren.
