So if you're like me you've wondered how the Jedi fit into the structure of the G.A.R. and how many people are under the command of the characters during the war. This is from Fry's Essential Guide to Warfare (2012):

  • Squad (9 troopers): The smallest unit in the Grand Army is the squad, led by a clone sergeant.
  • Platoon (36 troopers): A platoon consists of four squads, led by a clone lieutenant.
  • Company (144 troopers plus support personnel): A company consists of four platoons, led by a clone captain.
  • Battalion (576 troopers plus support personnel): A battalion consists of four companies, led by a clone commander.
  • Regiment (2,304 troopers plus support personnel): A regiment consists of four battalions, led by a clone regimental commander and a Jedi commander, often a Padawan serving a Jedi general. [Ahsoka]
  • Brigade (9,216 troopers plus support personnel): A brigade consists of four regiments, led by a clone senior commander and a Jedi general. Some brigades were called "legions." [Anakin]
  • Corps (36,864 troopers plus support personnel): A corps consists of four brigades, led by a clone marshal commander and a Jedi general.
  • Sector Army (147,456 troopers plus support personnel): A Sector Army consists of four corps, commanded by a highly experienced Jedi general.
  • Systems Army (294,912 troopers plus support personnel): A Systems Army consists of two Sector Armies, commanded by a Jedi general, a role filled at this level by members of the Jedi High Council. [Obi-Wan]
  • Grand Army (3,000,000+ troopers plus support personnel): The Grand Army as originally constituted consisted of all ten Systems Armies, led by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine as Commander in Chief.

I was surprised by the disparity between Obi-Wan's 294,912+ troopers vs Anakin's 9,216+ troopers. On one hand it makes sense, Obi-Wan has a lot more standing among the Order in terms of having trained a Padawan to Knighthood and a seat on the Council. But on the other hand, in practice the show collapses the distinction between them.

If that really was the disparity between their actual roles and levels of responsibility, I can't imagine that Anakin wouldn't be bothered by how little actual responsibility/trust he was given, relatively. He is young, but he probably thinks that he's really good at being a general and should be higher in rank.

I guess that it's my headcanon now that the distinction is something he would consider disrespectful, and make his later denial from the rank of Master just another in a series of dismissals.

Edit: just discovered these are the numbers of Sifo-Dyas' initial order, so it might be different later in the war, who knows. Not me!

What if the CIS counter propaganda put the droids as better solutions than the clones because their destruction doesn't goes against any sentient right ? Like, imagine a poster that mimic a republican propaganda poster but the clones are exchanged by droids and under it is written : "Our droids fight for you" as a title (because don't tell me the republic doesn't use 'our clones fight for your or something similar as a slogan) and in a little bit smaller font "They can't shed blood for you".

Imagine a clone seeing those propaganda posters. A shiny might feel absolutely outraged by it. They were made for this war and they hate being seen as worse than a droid. Dying for the Republic is a honor. But a more experienced, less brainwashed clone might see it for what it is.

Imagine if the CIS are the only one to recognize the clones' sentience and use it against the Republic.

Dearest one told me to post it so here we go:

Okay, hear me out.

I had a revelation while watching Clone Wars with my mom because we always complain the show is called Clone Wars!! But there are almost no clone episodes!! Listen I love me some good jedi action but!!! They have a ton of films and other stuff!!! Give me cLONES.

Anyway. Long story short. I came out with The Clone Bechdel Test. You are welcome.
