Clone troopers are fictional soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic in the Star Wars science fiction franchise created by George Lucas. Featured in Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005), they are humans cloned from bounty hunterJango Fett. They also appear in The Clone Wars (2008) animated film, the related television series of the same name and the Rebels television series, and they are also featured throughout the comics, novels, and video games of the Star Wars Legends expanded universe. Under the command of the Jedi Order, clone troopers fight for the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, which takes its name from the troopers. At the end of the Wars, they are forced by a surgically implanted inhibitor chip to carry out Order 66 and slaughter the Jedi. After the conversion of the Republic into the Galactic Empire, clone troopers become known as the stormtroopers and are eventually phased out in favor of recruits.
During development of The Empire Strikes Back, Lucas initially conceived of a planet of clones that caused the Clone Wars mentioned in A New Hope. The clone trooper armor was designed to suggest an evolution into the stormtroopers of the original trilogy, and it incorporated features from both the amor of stormtroopers and Boba Fett, revealed in Attack of the Clones to be an unaltered clone of Jango. The armored troopers in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith are computer-generated images voiced by Temuera Morrison, who played Jango. Younger clones were played by Bodie Taylor and Daniel Logan, who played the younger Boba. Unhelmeted clones were played by both Morrison and Taylor, who wore bodysuits to isolate their heads, and some clone troopers featured a blend of the actors' features. In the animated The Clone Wars film and television series, adult clone troopers are voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and child clone troopers are voiced by Logan.
My pappy said "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin', if you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln." Have you heard the story of the hot rod race, where the Fords 'n' Lincolns were settin' the pace? That story is true, I'm here to say, that I was drivin' that Model-A. It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up, that Model-A body makes it look like a pup. It's got eight cylinders and uses 'em all, got overdrive that just won't stall. With a four-barrel carb and a dual exhaust, with 4-11 gears you can really get lost. Got safety tubes but I ain't scared, the brakes are good, tires fair. Pulled outta San Pedro late one night, the moon 'n' the stars was shinin' bright. We was drivin' up Grapevine hill, passin' cars like they was standin' still. All of a sudden in the wink of an eye, Cadillac sedan passed us by. I said "Boys that's the mark for me," by then the tailight was all you could see. Now the fellas ribbed me for bein' behind, so I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind. Took my foot off the gas'n'man alive, I shoved it on down into overdrive. Wound it up to a hunderd an' ten, my speedometer said that I hit top end. My foot was glued like lead to the floor, that's all there is an' there ain't no more. Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense, them telephone poles looked like a picket fence. They said "slow down, I see spots," the lines on the road just looked like dots. Took a corner'n'side-swiped a truck, crossed my fingers just for luck. My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts, the guy beside me was white as a ghost. Smoke was comin' from outta the back, when started t' gain on that Cacillac. Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass, don'tcha by then we'd be low on gas. We had flames comin' from outta the side, you could feel the tension, man whatta ride. I said "look out boys, I got a license to fly," and that Caddy pulled over and let us by. Now all of a sudden she started knockin' down in the dip she started to rockin' And I looked in the mirror, a red light was blinkin', the cops was after my hot rod Lincoln. They arrested me 'n' they put me in jail, 'n they called my pappy to throw my bail, 'n he said "son you're gonna drive me ta drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln.
