#maybe some of them are famous among the entire GAR not for their fighting but fir their acting or writing?

I was thinking about Clone Wars modern AU nonsense and how it's hard to incorporate too many clone characters without either leaning into the idea that they're just a huge, close-knit family who all look remarkably alike, or just pretending they're a bunch of unrelated characters and ignoring the fact that they all look practically identical. Like, as if you completely recast a TV show with Star Wars characters and 90% of them were clones.

That's when a thought struck me: CLONE THEATER.

Say the clones learned about movies and plays and stuff, but it's difficult for them to get access to media because of Bullshit Rules. So they carefully hide and share what little bits of it they can get their hands on until eventually they decide "Hey, why don't we make our own fucking plays and movies and shit?"

There's downtime during hyperspace travel, and these boys don't like to sit idly. They write and cast and perform stories themselves to entertain and occupy themselves. Sometimes they film them with helmet cams and different battalions trade their films with each other.

Production is quality is bottom of the barrel, they have so little material to build sets or do costumes (sometimes the actors just have a piece of flimsi with their character's name taped to their chest but WHATEVER, IT GETS THE JOB DONE) but they make do. Some of the acting and writing is engaging enough that it doesn't even matter.

The content ranges from comedy to tragedy. One company in particular has been doing an increasingly ridiculous episodic soap opera since nearly the start of the war. All kinds of settings and characters, just... they're all played by clones.
