      A war they were created to fight that was rigged from the start by the puppeteers in charge, they were created as part of a lie, must really play on a clones mind. They fought for years for a result that was always going to happen.

      I think and thank Dave Felloni and the whole team around him for giving us such a masterpiece that has ever been made. Just look at how they introduced us to every single clone in the series.
      Put simply, you might see clones like oranges, they all look the same on the outside, but they differ in taste.
      Every situation, every decision they had to make along the way made them to a unique being.

    The Clones were the most tragic characters we've seen in Star Wars history. Originally were meant to fight and defend the Republic, giving their lives for others to live. But then, once Palpatine played a bonus card implementing the Stormtrooper Program, the Clones were all but discarded. Those who were forcefully retired ended up homeless, and what's worse, used as test subjects locked up in prison.
    The Clones do deserve a better life at this point after the Clone Wars.. It's sad that they all gave up their lives for nothing.

      Not only that but were forced to turn thier guns on thier friends (Jedi, fellow troopers, civilians ect) as we saw in Bad Batch that's why alot of the clones started rebelling, even with the chips they couldn't rationalize and accept the lies. Star Wars is a tragedy opera with an eventual happy ending, but it was a rough road to get there..

      Was/is it really that poorly received in the SW fan base? I started watching the show recently after S3 completed so I could binge it all and I am honestly surprised at how good it is. Yeah, the “monster of the week” style episodes suck sometimes but I felt that because TBB themselves are so likable, it still made them fun to watch and I like how dark the show could get. There was never really truly an episode that made me go “waste of time”
      Plus Omega is a delight, easily my favorite SW character now.
