As we have MR slave away with the Puppet scene/Ligthsaber (Work! WORK!) and hopefully Jonh will be finishing up with Luke’s haircut, I brought this up on a different thread, that started with a comment from Hal regarding the Palpy Clone.

First of all, having the vat full of Palpy clones is fantastic and helps address the Sith Elephant in the Room with his, erm, return.

So now just sitting an thinking about it, “Why have the clones of him as an old guy?” Kinda like, you are going to go on a road trip, and instead of filling up your tank, you fill only fill it up a couple of gallons.

So the thought is, if possible, what about adding a “variety” of clone faces. Maybe take a face/head of Palps as you see him in The Phantom Menace. And maybe another one, could be the face of his “clone son.” I saw a deep fake of using a younger Ian McDairmid and it didn’t look too different, albeit maybe the nose and eyebrows I think?

I dunno if this really matters or helps with anything, but was just a thought I had just thinking about “Why clone old guy Palps and not younger?” Granted, I am ok with the idea that the clone body cannot take it and it pretty much ages/falls apart … but it does still seem “kinda strange” to have clones of his old body … why not the younger model to get some more milage out of it? Lol.
