Star Wars Doubles Down On A Massive Clone Wars Plot Hole

Star Wars has just doubled down on a massive Clone Wars plot hole that dates all the way back to Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. Until 2002, Star Wars viewers had generally assumed the clones were the bad guys in the Clone Wars. In reality, they were led by Jedi Generals, and fought on behalf of the Republic - at least until Order 66, when Palpatine turned them against the Jedi.

Just How Many Soldiers Were In The Clone Army? Close When Obi-Wan Kenobi met with the Kaminoan Lama Su, he was told there were two hundred thousand units ready -"with another million well on the way." These were the first generation of clone troopers, and it's easy to imagine how shocked the Republic would have been to suddenly have an army of such size.

Fans Have Tried To Explain This Plot Hole Away Naturally, there have been many attempts to fix this apparent Star Wars plot hole. The most notable is simply the idea that Lama Su was speaking of squads when he talked about"units." Every clone squad consisted of nine soldiers, so that would mean the six million number would need to be multiplied by nine. That's over 54 million, which still sounds a little small for an actual galactic war.
