People tend to shit on clones, but who else can come up with a large enough army to defend the Republic?
Not even the Republic, it would appear.
The Confederacy of Independent Systems has far more BattleDroids than your Republic has Clones.
Defeat of the Republic is inevitable.
For me, the main issue with cloning is that it inherently assumes that the cloned organism is way better than any potential organism you could get the ol’ fashioned way. Like eg. people cloning their old pets are literally saying that their old pet was perfect and any other puppy/kitty couldn’t match them.
Though it’s a nice strategy to get a bunch of soldiers quickly
It’s unlikely to have ever happened.
2^42 is 25 times the total number of people ever born in all of history.
getting correct within a factor of 2 after a 42-fold exponentiation would be amazingly good mental math
Fingerprints aren’t genetically coded, and clones wouldn’t have the same fingerprints, either.
I typically associate “clone” with “an exact copy”, with the same exact molecular layout and even thoughts. So a literal exact copy. Clones on a DNA basis, so something possible for years, would indeed be different in some details.
You didn’t factor recombination. Nobody ever receives any of their parents’ exact chromosomes, except the sex chromosomes from dad - each pair shuffles up the equivalent DNA between the 2 chromosomes, resulting in 2 chromosomes that are each a mix of both of that parent’s chromosomes of that pair, one of which is passed on to the child for each pair for each parent.
