Shortly after the first year of the Clone Wars, Phase II armor was introduced, and was a vast improvement over its predecessor, with lighter and stronger plating and being far more comfortable. Fett also helped design the Clones’ armors, basing it on his Mandalorian gear. Jango was both the galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter and the Mandalore (Mandalorian ruler) at the time, and he ensured that all clones would be raised as Mandalorian warriors.
In the original Star Wars timeline, the Expanded Universe (now called Legends), clone trooper training was closely overseen by the clones’ template, Jango Fett. Their iconic suits of armor often displayed varying paint schemes with different meanings, depending on the phase of the armor and the continuity. Clone troopers were among the finest non-Force sensitive warriors in the galaxy, with impeccable training and equipment. Unofficially, they were created by the Sith to gain their Jedi Generals’ trust on the battlefield before being brainwashed into assassinating them when Order 66 was issued. Clone troopers can be seen sporting various color schemes and designs on their armor in the Star Wars prequels, but what do they mean? Officially, clone troopers were created as an elite military force to support the Jedi and defend the Galactic Republic against the Separatists during the Separatist Crisis and subsequent Clone Wars.
