Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Order 66 Alternate History (Interest Check)

[Shiny Keldeo]

This is one that I have had in mind for some time, and this seems like the place to get some feedback. Here's How it Goes:

A Jedi Knight, Name of Kelen Rolin, Discovers the ORDER 66 Chip Emplanted in the Clone Troopers. He Informs the Council, and they decide to replace the current order with a different Order. "If Order 66 Is Ever Enacted by the Supreme Chancellor, That Clone is to Report to his Jedi Commander and Inform Him of the Circumstances."

One Day Palpatine Decides to Test the Order, Ordering CC-7501 "Commander Bronze", the Commander Of the 286th Legion Under General Rolin, to Execute Order 66. He Does What he Was Ordered, and the Jedi Order Moves Swiftly, Delivering the News in Front of the Entire Senate. Busted In Front of Millions, Palpatine Shows his True Colors as Darth Sidious, Slaughtering Jedi and Clones as He Escapes Coruscant under the Cover of a CIS Invasion of the Planet.

Since Then the Wars Has Raged On for About Ten Years, This is Where the RP Would Start.

So Tell Me What You'd Think of This, Would It Be a Viable Alternate Storyline? Would you Be Interested in Playing It? Leave Your Comments Below!

Sounds viable. Id be interested.

[Zarkun]

I suppose I can watch this, see if there's more interest.

[Apollosarcher]

Slightly interested.

[mattmanganon]

Interested. But I have several thoughts on this:

1) Order 66 isn't just some microchip implanted into Clones. It's mental conditioning that has been driven into them since birth. Much like their "Obey any order without question" thing. I mean, I could buy that a Jedi found this out and the Jedi set about secretly altering their Clone's minds to change the order via force mind manipulation, but all I'm saying is that it isn't just some little machine. Each clone was custom designed, down the last molecule, to obey their orders. Do check out the campaign for Star Wars: Battlefront 2, they had some really good insights into how they felt. Most of them having a "Well, this is shit, but it's orders so... Well, I suppose we have to do it. Sorry sir, I'll try to make this as quick and painless as possible."
2) So, what happened to the Skywalkers? I mean, what happened to Anakin, Padme and the twin sprogs? I mean, Yoda would find out the moment he looked at them. He would know that they are Skywalkers and that's Anakin with a lot of explaining to do.
3) I think it would make more sense to say it was only 2-3 years later. I don't think that the war would be able to carry on 10 years without at least one side unable to financially support itself anymore. Especially considering that the Droid Army's were never meant to function for more than the 2-3 years in which the Clone Wars took place.

@mattmanganon Actually the Bio inhibitor chips were used. Article here. It became the Canon through the Clone wars and Rebel shows. The only other official canon sources now outside of the movies.

As for the war I agree however I could see it dragging on that long with both sides possibly having found new revenue sources to fund the war. As the Trade Federation and Techo Union would no longer have anyone to help cover up their double dealings and their assets on Republic planets seized by the Republic to find the war.

@Apollosarcher

Really, Clone Wars? Really? That seems like one hell of a cop-out. Like "We couldn't be assed to use anything as simple psychological conditioning to explain it, we need Trek-Tech to explain this shit."

[Apollosarcher]

@mattmanganon It also means of course that some clones didn't kill their Jedi Wolfe, Rex, and Gregor did not.

[mattmanganon]

@Apollosarcher That part seriously fucked me off in the new episode. I was so ready for Wrex to be the Lancelot of Rebels. The guy that knows he's doing horrendous things, but he also knows that there is nothing he can do to stop these things, the most he can do is bring them to an end as quickly as possible to deter other people doing it in the future.

Such a fucking missed opportunity.

[Apollosarcher]

@mattmanganon Grant new Ahsoka Tano is pretty cool.

[mattmanganon]

@Apollosarcher I resent the fact that she is alive, as her presence contradicts the whole "Obi-Wan is the last of the Jedi" thing in A New Hope, with Yoda being presumed dead. This means that, in order to match back up with the films, they are going to have to kill her, or have her fake her death again at the end of the series. I certainly hope it's the former.

Don't get me wrong, I like Asoka, I just hope that they give her character a good send off.

[Shiny Keldeo]

@mattmanganon@Apollosarcher Technically Obi-wan Was Not The Last of the Jedi Order. If you look at now Non-Canon Sources, Such as Novels, Comics, Etc..., Many Known Jedi Survived the Initial Jedi Purge and Lasted Throughout the Galactic Civil War, with many other Unknown Jedi Surely as Well.

Also, According to Now Non-Canonical Sources (Thanks a Lot Disney...), After the GCW Ended, Luke Rebuilt the Jedi Order but with new rules. One of those rules was the removal of the ban on love and marriage. I'm gonna have something kind of like that happen during the story, it could work i'd think.

And on the subject of the time difference, I could dumb it down to a minimum of 5 years, but not any lower.

I'm also going to put a trial application below, give me some feedback guys.

Keep in Mind that This is a Test App, Not an Actual Application. Give Some Feedback on What You Like, What I Should Change, What I Should Add, Etc.

-EDIT-
Clone Troopers Are Going to Remain Phase 1, I'll Give the Reasoning Later On. Just Something I Thought I Should Mention.

[urukhai]

just gonna say, I am very much interested

[Shiny Keldeo]

Good to Hear, This is actually more popular than i thought it would be XD

[caliban22]

I like it.

[nano627]

Yeah I'm in

[mattmanganon]

@Shiny Keldeo

What I meant was that, the Movies have always been overridden everything. If it contradicts the movie then it is non-canon, end of story. In A New Hope, Obi-Wan was referred to as The Last Jedi, with Empire Strikes Back giving the implication that the Empire didn't know that Yoda was still alive.

In order to fit perfectly with the movie, Ahsoka, Kaanan and Ezra either need to die, or the Empire needs to think they are dead. Because this is Disney, i'm thinking they are going to go with the latter... That being said, it'd be kinda interesting if they are making Rebels with the intention of developing Ezra to appear in Episodes 8-9.

Also, that No Phase-2 armour is annoying, that's my favourite armour...

[Shiny Keldeo]

With So Much Interest Shown So Far for this, I Have Decided to Begin Work on the Actual RP. It Should be Up Tonight, and If Not Tomorrow. I'll Post a Link Here When it is Complete.

@mattmanganon

Obi-Wan ASSUMED he was the last Jedi, it's how Lucas wrote it. I don't think he knew Yoda was alive until after he himself died and became one with the Force, so Ahsoka, who's name is a pain to spell right, could feesably have survived. In fact, Starkiller, also part of a now non-canon game, was trained to do Vader's hunt for him. Vader had already hunted down many survivors, but was, MAYBE, really big maybe, inclined to show mercy to Ahsoka because he trained her himself. Again, it's unlikely, but there's plenty of theory crafting to go around.
