'''Clone Troopers''' are [[LEGO]] mini-figures based on the [[Star Wars]] characters known Clone Troopers. Clone Troopers fought against the Separatists for the Old Republic during the days of the Clone Wars. After the war ended they were reorganized into the Stormtrooper Corps under the Imperial Military. Clone Troopers have appeared in many different variations and have been playable characters in all of the LEGO Star Wars video games, although you must have a save from the first game to use Clone Troopers in the second.

== Background Information ==
Clone Troopers were created by the cloners on Kamino under the direction of Jedi Master Sifo Dyas ten years prior to the Clone Wars. Their genetic template, recruited by Count Dooku, was taken from the Mandalorian mercenary [[Jango Fett]], who requested an unaltered clone as part of his payment (this clone would later become the legendary bounty hunter [[Boba Fett]]). 

Their existence was unknown to the Republic and the Jedi Order prior to the Clone Wars, until Jedi Master [[Obi-wan Kenobi]] learned of them during his investigation of the assassination attempt against Naboo Senator [[Padmé Amidala]]. These growth-accelerated clones were bred as soldiers from birth, spending their early lives utterly immersed in military training, and were said to be superior to battle droids in most respects. Loyalty to the Republic, and the Chancellor, formed a key part of their psyche.

After the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic by Chancellor Palpatine, immense numbers of Clone Troopers were deployed to Geonosis under the command of Jedi Master [[Yoda]], to reinforce the Jedi Knights who were suffering heavy losses during their attempted rescue of [[Anakin Skywalker]], Obi-Wan Kenobi and Senator Amidala from the execution arena. They proved their worth after rescuing the surviving Jedi from the arena and subsequently forcing the vast Separatist [[Droid]] Army into retreat in the ensuing battle.

The Battle of Geonosis was only the beginning of the long and harsh days of the Clone Wars. The conflict was between the galaxy governing Galactic Republic and the Separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Clones served the Galactic Republic, which was headed by Chancellor [[Palpatine]] at the time. Jedi Generals led Clone Troopers into the massive battles of the Clone Wars. 

In the closing hours of the war, on the command of Emperor Palpatine, Clone Troopers across the galaxy turned on their Jedi Generals, slaughtering a large proportion of the Jedi Order with ease. With the formation of the Galactic Empire and the destruction of the Jedi Order, the Clone Troopers were issued new weapons and armour, and were reformed into the Stormtrooper Corps. Eventually, the original clones became displaced by regular recruits, and the few Clones that remained had to retire because of their quick old age, caused by their growth exceleration. At the time of 0 BBY, few clones remained.

== Variations ==
There have been three distinct variations of LEGO Clone Troopers, each made to resemble those seen in the movies. 

The first sets were designed to match the Phase I Trooper Armour seen in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of The Clones. The second was made to look like the Phase II Troopers from Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith. The third and most recent variation was based upon their revised Phase I appearance in the new Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated movie and television series.
