  I watched the cartoon series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" with my young son a few years ago and came away with an uncomfortable sense that the Jedi were morally bankrupt having created clones who they mostly treated like nameless slaves and used as cannon fodder. I haven't read the books so I don't know if the treatment is better but the Republic probably had the resources to develop and deploy drones too but they didn't, instead they chose to burn through human beings. I've been watching the movies with my kid now that he's a little older and we're discussing the moral ambiguity.

    I remember having the same feeling after watching the movie. Ok, so the Trade Federation turned itself into a dangerous military power by mass-producing droids, but fighting them with cloned, throw-away sentient beings? Seriously, Republic, what the hell is wrong with you? Yoda's approval for this plan is what broke my belief in Jedi being the good guys.

      I always thought Yoda was responsible for most of the suffering in the 6 movies. He's the head honcho, he feels uneasy about taking in Anakin, but he does it anyway? What happened to due diligence? He then gets the kid on Dagobah, and does nothing when he goes off and nearly gets killed. Like another David Brent, a little guy with big quotes and no skill.

        I agree. Inherently he was indirectly responsible as he failed. Sidious even mentions Yoda's arrogance. I agree with the dark lord.
