In AOTC, as ObiWan is investigating the attempted assassination of Queen Kabuki, he discovers that a long-dead Republic official has ordered an army of clones [made by a whole RACE of "cloners"--yes, races are so stereotyped they uniformly enter into the identical technical trade!].

When asked by the Council whether the cloners might have anything to do with the attempt, he replies, "No, there's no motive."

Uuuuh, but what about the $8O GAGILLION ARMY SALE DEAL you JUST DISCOVERED that might have been scuttled by the Senator-Queen's public "No" vote on building an "Army of the Republic"?

Oh, yeah, and her expected vote was why he had been detailed as her security in the first place. Yeah. But the army itself? No motive there!

So this is revealed as a back-story point, but it's blatant relevance to the actual PLOT is simply unappreciated by the character.

It shows a profound and baffling lack of the writer's (ostensibly Lucas's) ability to inhabit the world he's created on its own terms.
