I'm referring the compulsion, not the law. What about that clone who settled down and started raising some twi'lek kids of his wife? Is he going to be compelled to kill a Jedi?
How long did Order 66 affect the clones? |
Whatever the story needs. It feels to me like the "implanted chips" and such were added in later to address new story needs for the tv show. |

That's true. In RotS, Order 66 was a sudden plot twist, that the clones had a least one order that their Jedi generals was not aware of, that could be issued by Palpatine to turn on the Jedi. In the film there was a minimum of personalization of clones. A single clone, Obi-Wan's unit commander, was given a personal nickname, and the two were shown to have a jovial relationship. That was just enough to really make it dramatically sting when he turned on Obi-Wan.
The TV show went much deeper into this, showing that many clones have nicknames and there was a strong comradery between most of the Jedi and some of the clones. It made Order 66 seem more unrealistic, that the clones would even believe the premise of the Order, that the Jedi would have rebelled against the Republic. So the biochips were invented to make their turn on the Jedi more believable in light of TCW, which still make sense with respect to the films... and then the show mucked it all up by having the Jedi find out about the biochips before Order 66 and still be blindsided anyway. But I digress.
I agree with TS. Have Order 66's compulsion to kill Jedi last as long as it serves your story.
