Currently thinking about season six of TCW when the Council found out Dooku was the one who actually called for the clones to be made.
You’d think they’d be like, “hey, if the guy in charge of the opposing army in this galactic war made sure we had an entire army to fight him, maybe we should look into those chips that one trooper was talking about cause that could definitely be a problem.”
Instead they went, “cover up this discovery we must. No can know...”
They didn’t need to tell anyone cause if Palps had found out that they knew, it could’ve been bad, but they could’ve looked more into it.
It bothers me that they were so caught up in the war effort and obeying the Senate’s every wish and command that they didn’t stop to think and come up with the obvious potential outcome that could occur from the enemy (a Sith at that) giving the Republic an army made of clones -with confirmed chips in their heads- in a war that the peacekeepers were specifically told to fight in...
