The actions of Sifo-Dyas on Kamino caught the attention of Darth Sidious. Ten years before the Clone Troopers’ first battle against the Separatist’s droids on the planet of Geonosis, Sifo-Dyas was murdered on the orders of Count Dooku. He would never live to see the war though. Kaminoans were already well known for their cloning, and with their help, Sifo-Dyas would be able to create an army of Clone Troopers capable of protecting the Republic from harm. Not willing to take no for an answer, Sifo-Dyas disobeyed the council and contacted the inhabitants of the planet Kamino to commission his army. However, the council feared his ideas were much too extreme and rejected the idea. He advocated to the Jedi High Council to create an army that would be able to combat any threat that may have been coming. A great war was coming soon, and the Republic was anything but prepared. Sifo-Dyas had been gifted by the Force with foresight of the future, but what he saw in his visions terrified him.
A wealth of new characters joined the Star Wars pantheon, and we also saw the start of what would become the most feared fighting force in the galaxy.Īnd it all started with one Jedi Master by the name of Sifo-Dyas. The Clone Wars started as vague reference from an old Jedi master in Episode IV, and grew into a major event in Star Wars canon, with tales spanning across many films, television shows, and books.
