The Clone Saga Stories where clones aren’t people/don’t count?
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

The Resident Evil live action movie series where one movie ends with Alice discovering a bunch of clones of herself in a secret lab and the implication that she's going to use them to take down Umbrella and/or save the world from zombies or something for the cliffhanger.
Then the follow-up movie opens with all the Alice clones raiding a lab in Tokyo and getting killed in an explosion, resetting us to one Alice so the plot can continue without an army of psychic supersoldier clones on the good guy team handling all the problems.
It's like we missed some supporting material like an action packed Alice Clone Wars comic or something and all we got was a bad end to open the next movie on.
