Battlefront 2 Clones
Tom Donahou
As soon as I saw The pictures of the figure, I knew it would be great for a Battlefront Jet Trooper. Ever since I first got battlefront I've wanted to make this figure, and now I finally can! Lets hope Lego makes some Red/Yellow/Blue clones in the upcoming summer sets! BTW that's a brickarms prototype. (Also I know the jet troopers didn't use a Dc-15 but its what I had :P )
NOTE: This isn't for any specific clone model so you'll
have to change the sound folder name, but not the actual
files. It is set as 'New_clones' so if you have a model
set with that voice folder name, then you don't really have to do anything.
I did name all of them after an Ashura soundpack addon so I
may have missed out a few voiceline replacements but I'm not
bothered. The deaths+injury sounds are also Republic Commando
sounds.

The Star Wars: Battlefront series has produced some brilliant games with compelling campaigns, but the clone Jedi story from its PSP spin-off, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron, wasn't one of them. The first Battlefront game launched in 2004 on Xbox, PS2, and PC, and was an instant hit. The sequel, Battlefront 2, took the series even further in 2005 by expanding on its faction-based objective gameplay and adding playable hero characters from the films, such as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.
The games were much loved to the extent that EA's first Star Wars game was a reboot of Battlefront. Sadly, despite making a comeback with successive updates, Star Wars Battlefront 2's cut content has left the game feeling incomplete. Despite the disappointment of the reboot, fans of the Star Wars games are still hopeful of a third Battlefront game being made, and the success of 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and the announcement of Star Wars Eclipse has added to that hope.
The original Battlefront and Battlefront 2 had great campaigns, but another original Battlefront game took a very weird turn with its story. Released in 2009 for the Nintendo DS and PSP, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron was the fifth installment of the Battlefront series. Some fans might not have heard of this before, because the handheld-only game felt more like a Star Wars Battlefront spin-off game rather than a proper entry into the series. Elite Squadron deviated from the faction-based campaigns of Pandemic's first two Battlefront games and instead focused solely on the character X2, a force-sensitive clone whose DNA was sequenced from a Jedi and not Jango Fett.
Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron's story had a strange protagonist and went all over the place in a very weird narrative departure for the series. The game begins with X2 and his brother X1, both force-sensitive clones, training other clones ahead of the Clone Wars. Later, in the battle of Cato Neimodia, Order 66 is executed and X2 kills Jedi Master Ferroda, but feels regret. After Order 66, X1 joins the Empire but X2 goes rogue and is hunted down. X2 then trains in secret, is quickly found by the Empire, and is forced into hiding again. He is discovered by the Rebel Alliance shortly afterward and decides to join them. After a failed duel with X1, who has turned to the dark side, Luke Skywalker appears in the game and gives X2 a lightsaber, before training him for an inevitable fight with X1.
Elite Squadron's story of a Force-sensitive clone may seem interesting, but in practice, it didn't make much sense. If the Kaminoans had access to Force-sensitive DNA, and both X1 and X2 were so effective as soldiers, it would've made more sense to base their army on a Jedi and not Jango Fett. X2's involvement in the Galactic Civil War also feels incredibly bolted-on and somewhat jarring. He receives regular training and advice from Luke Skywalker, who at that point should be the Rebellion's only hope as its one remaining Jedi. If Luke had discovered another Force-sensitive during his days with the Rebels, then it wouldn't make sense for him to not bring it up to Yoda or Obi-Wan. Also, the two central characters are referred to as X1 and X2, which aren't exactly the most compelling designations going.
The Star Wars: Battlefront series has produced some of the best Star Wars games out there, but Elite Squadron is definitely not one of them. The game deviated from the successful gameplay of the previous titles, and the story is so weird and ill-thought-out that anyone who didn't have a PSP or DS shouldn't feel like they missed out. Many fans are still hopeful that a future entry in the Star Wars: Battlefront franchise will get made, but if it does, it shouldn't make the same mistakes Elite Squadron did.
The Kamino uprising was a conflict in 12 BBY on the aquatic planet Kamino, the origin world of the Grand Army of the Republic during the waning days of the Old Republic. After having spent the better part of the last couple decades growing clone troopers for the Old Republic and stormtroopers for the Galactic Empire under Emperor Palpatine, a group of Kaminoans went rogue, using their cloning resources to grow an army with the intent of combating Palpatine's New Order. The Kaminoan resistance once again used the Grand Army of the Republic's template, Jango Fett's DNA and equipped their soldiers with phase I clone trooper armor.
Upon learning of the insurrection, the Galactic Empire hired renowned bounty hunter Boba Fett, himself a clone of Jango Fett, to penetrate and sabotage the cloning facilities of Tipoca City. Fett's childhood spent in the city granted him intricate knowledge of the facility's layout, and he led the Imperial Army to a crushing defeat of the "anti-clone" army. The Kaminoan leadership themselves were destroyed when their escape transports were shot down as they attempted to flee. Before the battle's end, Fett extracted a sample of the Jango Fett DNA and delivered it to his Imperial clients. The uprising led to a restructuring of the Imperial cloning policy; the previous model of centralized cloning sources was abandoned in favor of having a wide variety of cloning centers and genetic templates.
In the years following the rise of the Empire, the planet Kamino was kept under the watchful eye of Emperor Palpatine, in order to ensure that the planet's cloning technology remained under Imperial control. A small group of Kaminoans known as Clone Masters, resentful of the Empire's presence, began to grow an army of clone troopers to use in order to fight against their oppressors. These rogue clone troopers were called clone anti-Imperial troopers because they were created to fight against the Empire. They wore Phase I clone trooper armor and were mostly Jet Troopers and Rail ARC Commandos. The conflict pitted these Kamino-grown troops against their own Imperial brothers: members of the 501st Legion of stormtroopers, who were led by the bounty hunter Boba Fett, since he had been "born" and raised on Kamino and had a great knowledge of the facility.[1]
The Imperial forces landed in the city in a Sentinel-class landing craft. Boba Fett, hired for his knowledge of the cloning facility, made his way towards the cloning facility and destroyed a door control console that kept the facility in lockdown and proceeded inside, killing any rogue clones who got in his way. Fett and his troops were then ordered to retrieve a Template Sample of Jango Fett's DNA to prevent the Kaminoans from using it to clone more rogue soldiers. After getting his hands on the sample, Fett returned it to the Landing Craft which shortly took off upon acquiring it from Fett. The bounty hunter then returned to the facility and wiped out the life support systems located in the lower cloning center, ending any chances of more anti-Imperial clones being grown. Meanwhile, his fellow Imperial stormtroopers fought the enemy clones on the numerous platforms of Tipoca City.[1]
After Fett finished his work in the cloning facilities, he met up with the troopers outside and aided them in the battle. Mere moments after the clone life support was destroyed, the last of the anti-Imperial troopers were pushed back onto the landing platforms and finally destroyed. The leaders of the Kaminoan rebels attempted to escape in two LAAT/is, but were brought down by rockets fired from Imperial shock troopers and from lasers fired by ground turrets.[1]
With the traitorous clones exterminated, Kamino remained under Imperial control and the rogue cloning facilities were commandeered unto Imperial rule. The surviving leaders of the Kaminoan resistance were arrested and detained onboard the Death Star. Most would join Rebel inmates and die fighting during the Death Star Uprising.
Although the clone rebellion was soundly defeated, this incident convinced Emperor Palpatine to commission the creation of new clones from different templates and the recruitment of birth-born soldiers to fill the ranks of the Stormtrooper Corps. He also did this because he believed that the non birth-born troopers were too susceptible to corruption, and believed that a more diverse group of soldiers would solve this issue. Although the Jango Fett template would still be used, none of the Fett clones, especially the members of the 501st who defeated the rebel clones, would ever get used to the increasing diversity in the army ranks that they once filled as a whole.[1]
The Kamino uprising first appeared in the 2005 LucasArts video game Star Wars: Battlefront II as the fourth mission in the Empire section of the "Rise of the Empire" campaign. The event was later mentioned a few times during the Star Wars: Legacy of the Force novel series.
