"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."

A sentiment against cloned individuals existed in the galaxy. During the Clone Wars, the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic received such sentiment.

Description

"Look here, clone, you speak to me with respect."
"In my experience, respect is something to be earned."
"Yet the Empire assigned you to this desolate rock, where you let the majority of your squad get killed."
―Nolan and Mayday[2]

A sentiment against cloned individuals existed in the 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't serve your kind around here!"
―A Quarren bartender, to Hunter[5]

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

The end of the Clone Wars and the birth 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 the Advanced Science Division experiments in Mount Tantiss, where Doctor 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 as Purge Troopers of the Imperial Inquisition.[13]

During the New Republic, all experiments related to the field of cloning were banned by the Coruscant Accords.[14]
