M & M's was a sponsor so Lickass threw it in for the extra cash he got, CGI product placement, like the PSP game Anakin has in his hand before he "hears" the doubt about losing Palpatine and hence, Padme. I don't believe Lickass is capable of any deep thoughts as to what the colors meant so I stick to my theory involving the M & M's which incidentallt, melt in your mouth and not in your hands.

I dont know, why do clones have ranks? The same reason droids do. It doesnt make sense.

THe storm troopers arent clones. there is an actuall academy for training stormtroopers. unless the clones became them and they stopped cloning so after all the clones died they needed real people.

I understand that the Stormtroopers arent clnoes and that Academies exist (after all, thats where Biggs was going wink.gif )...but the fact of the matter is that Stormtroopers and Clone Troopers are essentially the same thing when you get right down to it. And even though they are the same thing, they somehow figured that rankings and colors and special elite groups werent important now that there was an Empire.

Commander Cody- hey! Who took my helmet?!
Ordinary trooper (with Cody's helmet)- Ha Ha! I'm Comander now! I told not to loose your helmet, dud...
Commander Cody- (well, i stoled from who i think was the real Cody, anyway...)

All the Imperial Army's behaviour it's nonsense!
How the ranks work? How Do any trooper Know a Jedi's military rank?They all look the same, are they all generals or coronels?
Can a clone trooper become a general or a supreme comander?

They are the Grand Army of the Republic. We know the Senate doesn't direct the entire army as one large unit so why not divisions? Furthermore, they're sentient beings who aren't going to be controlled from one central signal. The whole reason for having a clone army over a droid army is because of their adaptability over a set of subroutines and the fact that they won't all shut down if they lose the signal that's sending directions as they roger to Roger. Unless Roger's the name of their CO.

Clones, like Soylent Green, are people too. Why wouldn't they have names for themselves? Besides, I prefer Cody to Oddball.

the stormtroopers do have ranks. orange pauldrons anyone?

i imagine that jedi are enlisted as generals, like pilots are automatically captains.

Let's see. blink.gif
They are clones so they have not real experience in combat. they started the war at the same time and were borne together.
Then there are some clones that are "designed" or trained to be sargents, comanders, etc.
So, what if some of these are killed? There are High Ranked Clones replacement?
Or are they all comanders and you just choose one?

Jedis are generals, and pilots and knights and religious and diplomatics but they have not jedi-politicians to represent them in the senate?

Are Star Wars a manifest against the clones and the droids future? they are the bads of the OT and the PT.
If humans like Lucas are the alternative, I go with drois and Clones for sure.

Jeez, guys! Doesn't anyone read the visual dictionary? Colors refer to their unit. I don't know if it refers to squad level, batallion level, or something else.

The first clones to get names came from Shatterpoint, the Stover novel about Windu.

I rather like the colors. Cody's got these little flecks on the front of his mouth. I also like the guys who take out Ki-Adi-Mundi.

I like the clones more than the Jedi in SW, which is pretty pathetic.

well, this is new! A trooper lover!
I must accept that the only thing that is better in the prequels are the Troopers.
Codys to you!

TRIVIA BREAK!!!

Commander Cody is named after the hero of a 1950's TV show. It was pretty mediocre or so I heard. I heard about him from an easter egg in Quest For Glory 2 back in 1990. He was made along the same time The King of the Rocketmen aired, which was the first TV show to bring the concept of jetpacks/rocketpacks into the world of movies and TV.
