"Why would they put him in charge?"
"Problem?"
"Tell me this, clone. If you all are so efficient, how come the Empire's scouting soldiers like us? Sounds to me like it's time for a change."

Asentiment againstcloned individuals existed inthe galaxy. During theClone Wars, theclone troopers of theGrand Army of the Republic received such sentiment.

"Look here, clone, you speak to me with respect."
"In my experience, respect is something to be earned."

―Nolan andMayday^[2]

Mayday dies — Mayday was denied medical support by Nolan due to the latter treating clones as disposable.

A sentiment againstcloned individuals existed inthe galaxy for varying forms of reason, which ultimately acknowledged them as nothing more than replaceable products. For some, it was a form of prejudice that was held against, referring to them derogatorily as "clones" and ignoring their individuality as a person. While others may see clones as a cost prohibitive operation to maintain.^[1] Many propagandas^[3] and manipulations also helped push the sentiment further.^[4]

History[]

"We don't want your kind around here. We don'tserve your kind around here!"

―A Quarren bartender, to Hunter^[5]

During theClone Wars, theKaminoans treated their clones as if they were machines to be discarded if they malfunctioned.^[6] Around the same time, sentiment against clones grew as propagandachassisplast were spread around during the war.^[3] Clone troopers also had few individual liberties under Republic law despite being deployed as the defenders of Republicdemocracy.^[7] In the beginning of theImperial Era, the Kaminoans still uphold the same value and opinion, seeing clones as their properties to maintain operation with theGalactic Empire.^[1]

The end of the Clone Wars and thebirth of the new Galactic Empire^[8] marked the end of the cloning program as the Empire attempted to recruit common soldiers en masse, which would be less costly. This left many veteran clones unemployed^[9] due to their accelerated aging and the inability to create more soldiers.^[10] Clones didn't have the same rights or representation as other organic beings and the Empire viewed them as military assets instead of real people.^[11] Many of these clones became subjects of theAdvanced Science Division experiments inMount Tantiss, whereDoctor Royce Hemlock, who viewed them as nothing more than pieces of Imperial property, imprisoned them so they could be experimented on.^[12] Other clones continued to serve the Empire asPurge Troopers of theImperial Inquisition.^[13]
