Star Wars' Clone Troopers Don't Deserve Their 'Stormtrooper-Lite' Image
The Galactic Republic’s Clone Troopers are among the most tragically unsung heroes of the Star Wars franchise, but a Legends-era comic demonstrates the potential for heroism in all Clones. In both Star Wars' modern canon and the defunct Legends, Clone Troopers are the secret weapons of Palpatine, created to fight alongside and gain the trust of their Jedi leaders before murdering them when Order 66 activates their dormant brainwashing.
