Clone trooper

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 hunter Jango 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.
