Now you’re just flirting 😉

As for clones vs. Alderaan, this is where I really don’t get it. In my mind there’s no indication whatsoever that cloning is a completely ancient and defunct practice. I don’t know where you’re getting that idea from.

Well, clones are presented as from the time of lightsabers, which is presented as a dead and gone age. Grand Moff Tarkin, who probably has access to more data on the state of the universe than anyone, is certain the Jedi are all extinct but one. That age is over, even if a few relics remain. Lightsabers, the Old Republic, Clones–these are dusty old history book subjects (all presented as part of the same historical whole), barely a trace left in the present. Then we go through three films spanning several planets, and see evidence of a very few more lightsabers, but not a single clone.
