What if Anakin Was the clone template? Let's explore the depths of it in this video.
Taun We observes the glass cylinders, watching the embryos with scientific curiosity and personal fascination. This was the biggest and most ambitious project her people had ever undertaken. Creating clones of a unique species was nothing new; their database contained information on over forty million species. But they had never dealt with an individual whose DNA seemed almost metaphysical in nature. When the Jedi Sifo‑Dyas provided the blood of a nine‑year‑old boy named Anakin Skywalker, they were not going to turn down the opportunity for such a study.
The cloning process itself proved extremely difficult. The first clone had been a success… sort of. The embryo remained perfectly viable, but instead of developing with the donor’s XY chromosomes, it formed with an XX pair—making it less a clone and more a twin. The Kaminoans originally intended to dispose of the embryo due to this imperfection, but their client rejected the idea outright, insisting that perfect sameness was irrelevant. His instructions were clear: unless an embryo—clone or otherwise was completely non‑viable, it was to be considered a success. He even threatened to withdraw the contract if a single viable embryo was discarded.
Many subsequent attempts resulted in non‑viable specimens. Accelerated ageing caused numerous incidents that the Kaminoans had not anticipated. Some embryos matured too quickly and decayed within hours, while others simply ruptured. Those who developed further often suffered severe physical and mental impairments and died shortly after conception. Even the best engineers were baffled. Every attempt at producing uniformity ended in disaster. It was as if the template’s DNA was actively resisting them—almost as if it wasn’t just alive, but thinking.
The only fully stable duplicates were those grown at a normal pace. This left the Kaminoans with a choice: create perfect copies that took years to mature, or accelerate development and accept small variations. The client insisted the perfect duplicates remain in production but overwhelmingly favored the faster‑growing, slightly varied clones as the main force.
Even when accelerated growth succeeded, it behaved strangely. Once the clones reached full genetic maturity—around sixteen to eighteen for humans—their cells stopped aging at the accelerated rate and reverted to a normal human pace. Instead of appearing twenty, most clones looked closer to eighteen or nineteen. To humans, the difference was minor, and the client was thrilled that the clones would age normally and live longer. To the Kaminoans, it was simply another anomaly in a growing list.
Even more bizarre was that all the clones possessed the template’s memories up to the time the DNA was donated. They all reported dreaming of the same things: being a slave on Tatooine, meeting a pair of Jedi, meeting an angel, and flying over Naboo. These dreams eventually solidified into fully formed memories.
Flash‑memory implantation was nothing new; the Kaminoans used it to accelerate cognitive development and skill acquisition. But seeing it occur naturally was unprecedented. Because of all these setbacks, they were unable to produce the number of clones they had planned, settling for 200,000 instead of 2.5 million
Many scientists resigned from the project shortly after the development of the first batch, viewing it as an abject failure and a violation of every standard of Kaminoan professionalism. The one who took the most interest in the situation was not one of their scientists at all, but one of their exiles: a Kaminoan named Kina Ha.
Using her experience as a Jedi Master, Kina not only took on the project with enthusiasm, but behaved as though she understood the clones’ strange development far better than anyone else. Whenever she tried to explain her insights, however, she was met with blank stares and dismissive looks. To her kin, everything she said sounded like mystic nonsense.
Still, with so few options remaining, the Kaminoans placed the clones under her care. Kina treated every one of them as a student—a padawan in the making—but the first five conceived held a special place in her heart.
