The Rebellion That Doomed Clones


"The Empire has little use for relics of the past. Stormtroopers are the future."
– Wilhuff Tarkin, Star Wars: Rebels

Did You Know?

Hey Reader, it’s Vance here! 👋

You know how the Clone Wars gave us the most loyal and badass troopers ever? I always wondered why Palpatine ditched them for Stormtroopers, who are, let’s be honest, kind of a downgrade. Then I came across the Kamino Uprising, and everything suddenly made sense.

This wasn’t just a strategic shift—it was a calculated move to maintain control. Curious about what really happened? Let me take you through the story.👇

Okay, so I used to think the switch from Clone Troopers to Stormtroopers was just budget cuts and propaganda. But then I learned about the Kamino uprising, and now my mind is blown. 🤯

There were a few Jedi who made it clear that their bond with the clones was shaky at best. And trust me, their stories might surprise you.👇
