[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 1307730, member: 527"] So, if the Clone Army was for the (good) Jedi to have, which (good) Jedi knew about this? Obi-Wan did not. Yoda says he did not, but he's a tricky little oven-mitt. ;-) (When the Kaminians named the Jedi who ordered the army, it was a name I didn't recognize. Obi-Wan kinda shrugged it off and said "That guy's been dead for 10 years." It wasn't Dooku, but frankly, I would expect whoever ordered the Army to use an alias. I'd also expect GL not to worry about it either.) I think this is a solid statement of the plot as GL sees it. Its needlessly convoluted, and it relies on people not noticing that Palpatine would have been better off keeping the Clone Army for himself since Dooku's forces did a fine job of decimating the Jedi; if Yoda hadn't brought in the Clones they probably could have finished the job right there! Tangent 4: My interpretation of the movie was the Palpatine had ordered the Clone Army for himself (since they looked like Stormtroopers to me, and he's obviously the Emperor) and through a pathetic lack of security he allowed these Clones to be used by his enemies (the good Jedi). If he had managed to use Dooku+Clones to destroy the Jedi would have achieved all of his objectives by then end of AotC, but then there wouldn't be a need for the third movie. So, GL gives the Clones to the Jedi so they can eke out a costly victory and he can make Ep3. [/QUOTE]
