I Star Wars-boken " Imperial Commando: 501st ", insisterar flera Clone Commando-krigare på cremation för deras fallna kollega. Ett av deras nummer beskriver detta (lite förakt) som en " jedi-tradition " som starkt föreslår att normal praxis helt enkelt är att begrava sina döda in situ.
...Ennen and Bry had been trained by a Corellian sergeant. It showed. Their attitudes were Corellian; they'd have fitted in seamlessly in any Corellian town.
"Cremation," Ennen said. "I don't care how we do it, but I want him to have a proper cremation."
Senare i samma serie kommer andra Clone Troopers att prata om att ge en annan fallen kamrat en " anständigt begravning ", något unsentimentally efter att ha tagit bort sin rustning och kit.
"ARC trooper Lieutenant Alpha-Thirty died of his injuries following an unknown incident, okay?" A'den announced pointedly. "He was too decomposed to ascertain a cause of death. But I recovered his armor and I'm returning his tally to SO Brigade for records purposes. Got it? Because if you didn't, I can repeat it even more slowly."
Fi raised an eyebrow. "He looks pretty decomposed to me. We'll give him a decent burial. Can I have his boots and kama?"
