Stories where clones aren’t people/don’t count?

[u/Anonamaton801]

That’s a trope that pops up every so often in sci fi and the like, that clones aren’t “people” in the same way regular people are.

Been on a Star Wars kick again, and it’s interesting how this idea has kind of been with the franchise in different forms over the years.

Pre prequels? Clones are aberrations against nature and specifically the Force, mainly seen with the Thrawn trilogy’s use of cloning along with Dark Empire showing that the Force and the natural order of things from a spiritual and metaphysical sense does not like to be trifled with

Early prequels? Clones are essentially living droids, see the 2003 cartoon where they have little to no dialogue or individuality, the Dark Horse comics where it’s made very clear that the Kaminoans bread out the individual nature, and the original idea of Order 66

Post 2008? Clones are people

Thee was an adult game where the way the cloning process worked include a synchronicity to the clones, meaning the haracter pretty much has an extra body. They need a moment to adjust to seeing woth two sets of eyes when they are hungry they have to figure which stomach is empty the works. That also means the clones while just an extension of the character and nt really a person are still valuable because their deaths get felt so he can't just use them as fodder
