Unlike the well-oiled discipline seen on the battlefield with troops under Anakin Skywalker’s command, the members of Domino Squad were… quirky. It also laid the groundwork for future storylines about the cascading divergence of clone behavior. After spending time with veteran soldiers of war, Domino Squad reminded viewers that even Clone Troopers began as fresh-faced recruits oblivious to the toll of war. Introduced in the fifth episode ever of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, entitled “Rookies,” Domino Squad gave audiences a peek at how clones behaved fresh out of the training academy on Kamino. But with the return of Echo to the show in the show’s seventh and final season on Disney+, it’s worth looking back on Echo’s original teammates - Domino Squad - and how they represent the tangle of moral and ethical problems that arise when you utilize a disposable army of living, breathing men. The Clone Wars cartoon has explored that dynamic for years, with fan favorites such as Captain Rex and Commander Cody. Yet they were bred to fight and die without question. Unlike Battle Droids, clones were indisputably sentient, thinking men. The Kamino geneticists tinkered with Fett’s genome to mass-produce an army that was loyal and docile on an accelerated timeline, with clones going from birth to battle-ready in approximately a decade. Created under mysterious circumstances on Kamino, each Clone Trooper who fought for the Galactic Republic against the Separatists was a copy of the bounty hunter Jango Fett. The difference between the two sides is morally stark.īut then there are the Clone Troopers.
The First Order kidnapped children and molded them into loyal soldiers. The Empire conscripted people both voluntarily and against their will, as well as establishing family dynasties for officers and other important officials.
The Rebellion and the Resistance were made up of volunteers people ready to fight back against tyranny and oppression on a galactic scale. But not all ground troops are created equal.
One of the major backbones of the Star Wars universe are the untold number of sentient beings that put their lives on the line for the Galactic Republic, the Empire and First Order, and the various Rebellions and Resistances.
