It’s always confused me how Sifo-Dyas had visions of a horrible doom future and came up independently with this idea that the only way to prevent it was ordering up a clone army. And yes, I understand “see Order 66/the Republic attacked by an army, decide they need an army TOO” but it just doesn’t logically flow very smoothly. When have the Jedi used an army? Why leap to that as a Plan A?
But it makes a lot more sense if he had visions of the Clone Wars. Visions that specifically included the partnership between the Jedi and the clones.
So he would have seen brave, intelligent clones working alongside Jedi, collaborating on a thousand different worlds. He would have seen them covering each other’s back, fighting side by side against literal and figurative monsters. He would have seen the Jedi Order fundamentally changing and growing alongside these people, perhaps even the future that never came to pass after winning the war. And the connections during it: Jedi wearing armor, forming bonds of respect and camaraderie, clones attached to “their” Jedi. Family units developing. Friendships, romances, sibling relationships...
He would have seen Cody throwing Obi-Wan his dropped lightsaber for the dozenth time. And as a lifelong Jedi, he would have deeply understood the significance of that act. The trust.
If Sifo-Dyas truly believed the battle for the end of their world was coming, maybe for him, it wasn’t about just getting an army, it was about making that army. One built on mutual respect and absolute trust. It was seeing those exact people and the connections that would bloom there, and working backwards from that conclusion to make it exist.
#Sifo-Dyas just watching the Clone Wars 2008 series in his head but missing the last season#he’s like Dooku I only have one question why is your bed so big two questions what the fuck is up with your monogrammed pajamas#but really this question fascinates me about what exactly Sifo-Dyas saw and what he thought he was doing#especially because the war would have been won without direct sabotage from the Sith the clones never would have betrayed the Jedi otherwis#the jedi and clone after a won war peacetime AU kills me#the clone wars#projedi#clones#jedi order#sifo-dyas#I realize I tend to view Sifo-Dyas positively#and there could be much more cynical readings of the Clone Wars#but I'm just talking this out
