I have been wondering this for a while. Now we know with order 66 all the clones were essentially brainwashed into believing the jedi had turned against the republic and needed immediate execution (along with other force sensitive people). And we also know from Rex and Wrecker (Bad Batch) how after the chip is removed clones become aware that they were being controlled and show remorse. What confuses me is how long does the effect of the chip last if you don’t temper with it? In the Bad Batch, we have Howzer who regrets his actions in Ryloth, and we see Cody who also questions his new position within the empire. With them questioning their actions, are they becoming aware that they were being controlled or are they just regretting the way they handled thw supposed “treason” of the jedi. And also why does the empire replace them if they have a chip they can control? Why not have another order you can activate and make the clones do whatever they want. It seems stupid to hire people who can easily realise the true nature of the empire and quit (even though they joined willingly unlike the clones) when you have an army of clones you can manipulate. Unless the chips have an expiration date or slowly lose it’s power.

To me personally Fives’s arc is the saddest thing to happen in Clone Wars, if not the entire Star Wars franchise. There are a lot of contenders, Umbara being up there imo however think about it. You’re created to fight for a war you were no part of, treated as property and not even given basic human rights. The only proper connection you’re allowed is your brotherhood and the obedience (or loyalty) to Jedi they imprinted onto you from birth. Then you find out your brains were manipulated into being programmed to do anything said to you, including harming everyone you care about. You discover this and try to expose it to save everyone, they think you lost your mind. You go to the Chancellor, who you exist to serve btw, and find out it was his doing. And in the end they what, kill you? And no one other than Kix even batted an eye to what Fives said. Was no one even a little bit curious?? He single handedly could have prevented a LOT of bad things.

As much as I appreciate the funny tshirts, I am looking for more old school or cool ones but have no idea where I can find quality ones☹️ My birthday is coming up so I would love to find some beforehand

I would appreciate some help in naming her while I work on the color🥶 She is from the Clone Wars era, an ambassador for Mandalore brought up by Satine herself (she is sorta the middle man between Satine and the republic/separatists senates depending on communication needs) but also a Mandalorian warrior who secretly shows up in Republic bases to help secure victories for them. Imagine being a galactic representative of pacifism and secretly fighting in the war who would do thatttt?? (she would)

I figured I might try and use reddit for fanart too😭 Here is an old(ish) one I did of mother Shaak Ti and my baby Fives
I’m currently working on an OC and if anyone wants to check out my art its @elasabyss on insta🌟
