Every new generation of clone troopers was supposed to be weaker than the last. Jango Fett died, the DNA degraded, and the army fell apart. That is the standard story, but the timeline does not support it, the evidence contradicts it, and the Empire openly admitted the replacements were worse. This video covers what actually drove the decline of the clone army using both Canon and Legends sources, from the production pressure on Kamino to the Jedi leadership problem on Umbara, the inhibitor chip contradiction, and the political maneuvering that sealed the clone army’s fate.
