When Palpatine gives the Order, it seems the Clone Commanders already know what to do.

Is their more in depth about this in the book? I have not read it.

nothing specific in the book refering to why they know what order 66 is.

we are left to assume it was either trained into them on kamino or geneticly programed into them.

Mmmm! Not sure, do you think the Order was already programmed into them when they where created?

In Episode II, Taun We tells Obi-Wan that the clones "obey without question" (or something like that)...and being that the Supreme Chancellor is a bit more respectable than the Jedi, the Clones are willing to follow his order once it is given.

I think that it was programed into them from the start, it was simply sitting in their minds dorment until they are given the order. Nothing specific about it in the book.

personaly no, based entirely on the book i think their absolute devotion to either the office of the chancelor or palpantine himself was programed into them at creation.

I think order 66 was part of their training as they developed. It's easier for me to accept that way.

I like the idea of it already in their memories when cloned. Makes it a little more daunting knowing it's there when you see them fighting along side the Jedi in AOTC.

COMMANDER: The Supreme Chancellor has just commenced Order 66.

SEARGENT: Yes, sir. Uhh... sir? What's Order 66?

COMMANDER: I 'unno?

The Seargent begins to do a funny little jig.

COMMANDER: That's some nice jiving, Seargent.


Yeah. It's a safe bet they knew wink They take any orders without question, and Palpatine is head of the Republic, and its Commander In Chief.

It could already be in Jango Fett's mind before he was cloned. So the Clonetroopers will not hesitate to shoot them down.

Hmm. Programmed - as in a special miraculous gene that makes them genetically "know" what order 66 means??

Or programmed as in, during their rigourous training and development they learnt and completely memorised by-heart a large list of specific directives? The latter makes sense. The former.... Well... I suppose it is Star Wars, but it sounds a tad odd.
And besides, knowing a list of abstract pre-determined orders is common military and paramilitary procedure.

According to the novelization "Order 66" was imbedded in their minds since before they were hatched. It's a part of their physiological makeup. Harry Knowles actually made a great comment when he said that this was the true reason for the creation of the Clone Army, they're secret betrayal.

I think it's Sidious appearing to make this order that finally answers all those questions left in AotC about who ordered the Clones and why.

If Sifo-Dyas ordered their creation, how did Tyranus and Sidious manage to tinker with their genetic make-up?

I cannot help but wonder why GL didn't make it Order 69. wink
