Then, AOTC's openingcrawl could explain that in the 10 years since TPM, the Separatist movement has grown since TPM, and that both sides are preparing for war. To counter the threat, the Republic has issued the creation of a clone army. The vote Amidala returns to Coruscant for, is the vote about whether or not to deploy the army.

Actually... that's eroneous as well... the thing about the creation of the clone army is that the Sith are pulling the strings for BOTH the Seperatist and Republic Forces... You're thinking along the lines of the Seperatist being this independent outside movement when it's the Sith manipulating both armies for the sole destruction of the Jedi.

You see? The only casualty is are Jedi and the TF are pawns in the Sith's ambitions. "The war is over? Sidious promised us peace" or whatever the hell he said... They were IN on the Sith's plan from TPM into ROTS for their own gain all along and then Sidious betrays them by dispatching Anakin to slay the Seperatist Leaders in ROTS...

The Clone Wars is a fake... They wouldn't be asking for Naboo to be allied with them and it occurs to me that Naboo should be akin to Alderaan. They have no standing army... They wouldn't want war or be ally to a group that wants it. In fact in Episode II Amidala is called back to Coruscant to vote on the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic but she was going to vote no. The reason why Jar Jar calls for the creation of the Clone Army is that he's an idiot. It is because he was placed in charge of the anti-war movement cos of Amidala's being targetted for assasination and has to go into hiding. He's been manipulated by Palpatine when he said "If there was only a senator brave enough to take up the position" (or whatever he said" which is a brillant move by the Sith to force a peace wanting representative to call for the creation of an army to protect the Republic... It shows how cunning the Sith totally are.
