Congradulations! bkev, you have become the 100th poster to post this exact same thread! Your prize will be in the post tomorrow!

Just playing. This have been posted over and over, but you're new here so it is forgivable

Seriously, when I read your question the words, "plot", "story", "directing" and "acting" come to mind.

bkev, some of what you are reading in the RPG thread is just nonsense, but a lot of it is actually references to what was speculated about for many years. We have known pretty much nothing of the Clone Wars for over 20 years other than its name and the suggestion that it involved cloning. It had always been said that Boba Fett's armour was left over from the clone wars, and that Boba Fett may have even been a surviving clone. So, many of us had this image of all these guys in Boba Fett style armour fighting against the republic, with maybe the Jedi participating on the Republic's side, or trying to mediate and make peace. Some have even thought that there might have been Jedi cloning going on as well. I myself always believed the reason cloning was involved was to duplicate the best fighters. This was way before Dolly the sheep, back when cloning seemed so much more like a sci-fi sort of idea than a scientific one. Back then when we thought of cloning in a scifi context, I don't think too many of us thought of needles and embryos and babies in test tubes. I imagined they would have machines you would step into, and out would step two of you. And in this way both sides would be able to produce ridiculously large quantities of troops. Imagine how chaotic that would be? A war like that could go on literally forever. No matter how many casualties each side has they would just keep cloning new troops. It would be terrible, the whole galaxy becoming a war zone, innoccent people getting caught up in the cross fire and no end to the war in sight. Just endless destruction. If it was something like that it would make a ton of sense for the Jedi to have to step in and say, "Uh, this has to stop..."
