The act screamed unnecessary brutality, and from what we know of the Empire, it’s only the beginning of a cruel regime.
Under Crosshair’s threat, the soldiers followed orders and murdered innocents. One spoke up, saying they were soldiers and not executioners. He ordered the Elite Squad soldiers to do the same. And when the civilians said they didn’t know Saw’s location, Crosshair killed them. Clone Force 99 left the planet without harming or apprehending Saw.īut the freshly reprogrammed Crosshair had no such qualms. They were citizens merely trying to get innocent civilians out of a dangerous situation on Onderon. the Bad Batch, on that mission, but our very good clones saw that Gerrera’s group were not soldiers fighting the Empire as Tarkin claimed. Tarkin had previously sent Clone Force 99, a.k.a. Crosshair led the Elite Squad to eliminate Saw Gerrera and his group of soldiers on Onderon. If the Empire can swell its ranks with conscripted troopers loyal to the organization and its ideology, why wouldn’t they? Plus, as Tarkin pointed out, the clone program is prohibitively expensive. And as it stands, the Kaminoans have control because they made the soldiers. They can use those kind of negative thoughts towards the Republic and mold them into unwavering loyalty. Preying upon the latter sentiment is how the Empire flourishes. Another stated they get paid, fed, and get a roof over their head-and that it’s more than the Republic ever did for them. One soldier expressed confusion about why they’re present because the war has ended. And while we didn’t get to spend a ton of personal time with these soldiers, we got insight into a couple thoughts. The eventual stormtrooper army started with these four soldiers. They decide the ultimate test is to send the Elite Squad on a mission that other clones failed to accomplish. Tarkin appoints Crosshair, the wayward member of the Bad Batch who the Kaminoans are controlling with a modified inhibitor chip, to lead the group. He brought them to Kamino in order to have a skilled clone trooper train them.
Rampart gathered four top soldiers from across the galaxy to form the Elite Squad. And now we know that Project War-Mantle refers to the Empire bringing in conscripted soldiers to replace clones. The project is one of the Tarkin Initiative projects Jyn Erso discovered in the Citadel Tower on Scarif in Rogue One.
