So how early did Obi-wans investigation into Jango Fett trigger the Clone Wars?
So it is somewhat apparent that Obi-wans whole investigation was an oversight by Count Dooku and Darth Sidious, that it wasn't meant to be something planned by them and it just kind of happened.
Leading into the discovery of Kamino along with the Clone Army, that the CIS not only have their own army but are preparing to launch a galactic war, and then the start of the Clone Wars. So it is fairly obvious that the Clone Wars was triggered early, but how early is my question.
I think at a minimum that the Clone Wars was trigger a few months early, given that the first Venator was ready for service weeks after the war began. This is in stark contrast to the CIS who had their droid army all ready for service.
However for me at the maximum, is that the war was triggered years too early given how "indecisive" they were with the mainline starfighter for the Clones, having gone through 3 different models for each year of the war (V-19, Z-95, and ARC-170).
