Miljoner kloner gör du i princip inte bra om du inte kan transportera dem någonstans.
Detta är ett citat från novelleringen av Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones:
"Master Sifo-Dyas requested the most powerful army in the galaxy. We have worked with only the best shipbuilders to fulfill that request." ―Lama Su
Romanen betraktas som kanon, och Wikipedia har denna blurb .
The Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones novelization was written by R. A. Salvatore and published on 23 April 2002 by Del Rey. It is based on the script of the film of the same name. It includes much expansion of scenes and also many scenes which were cut from the movie. Some of them are original to the book.
I Star Wars roman Tarkin (även kanon) finns det denna utbyte mellan Tarkin och Dooku strax före attacken på Geonosis.
Tarkin tried to decipher the count's inference. "One might almost conclude that you're positing an advantage to going to war. But how would that work? The volunteer security forces of the Confederate worlds against--what, Judicials and ten thousand of your former Jedi brethern?"
Dooku adopted an arrogant expression. "Don't be too surprised, Governor, if the Report has access to secret forces."
Mellan dessa två citat anser jag att det är säkert att slutsatsen att förutom att bygga trupper byggde de också den nödvändiga hårdvaran för att göra dem till en fungerande armé.
