Okay hear me out. Ultimate Clone X theory
Clone X is Soup clone.
Tumblr media
My evidence for this theory? Plenty when he talks to Crosshair about Joining them when he had the chance? He’s talking about during the food fight. This entire time he has been biding his time. And what is a river if not the soup of nature? I feel this in my bones. All other theories have been rejected as inferior Dogma? Nah! Tech boring! Cody? Ha give me a break. Slick? Derivative. It’s soup clone. The ultimate villain.

I can't believe it's taken me THIS LONG to realize why Slick's whole speech feels weird and not explored enough. You're not SUPPOSED to believe him, any more than you're supposed to believe Anakin when he starts parroting Palpatine's propaganda back at Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith.
Slick doesn't ACTUALLY believe the clones are slaves or that the Jedi are keeping them enslaved. And even if he does genuinely believe that, it's not why he did the things he did.
Slick saying "I struck a blow for all clones" is just his version of "I have brought peace, justice, and security to my new empire." It's bullshit. Saying "It's the Jedi who keep my brothers enslaved" is just as reasonable as "I should've known the Jedi were plotting to take over" or "From my point of view the Jedi are evil." It's pure bullshit.
They're all EXCUSES to try to distract from the fact that they actually BETRAYED everybody and have done something unforgivably selfish that led to the deaths of many innocent people who once cared for them. Slick says he struck a blow FOR all clones, but what he actually did was strike a blow AGAINST the clones. Hundreds of the 501st and 212th died because of Ventress's ambush, and probably hundreds more died afterwards as a consequence of the destroyed armory.
And nobody buys it! Obi-Wan doesn't buy it when Anakin tries to blame the Jedi for his own choices, and neither Cody nor Rex buy it when Slick tries to blame the Jedi for his own choices. THAT'S why the show never follows up on this, THAT'S why we never hear them discuss the clones as if they were slaves again even in arcs where it would make a lot of sense to bring that back (Umbara and Zyggeria in particular). You're not supposed to see it as a genuine criticism that should be taken seriously. The writers expected everyone watching to understand that it was bullshit from an untrustworthy character who would say whatever he thought he had to in order to excuse his selfish actions.
THIS is why using Slick's comment as irrefutable proof that you're intended to see the clones as slaves and the Jedi as their enslavers doesn't work. The Jedi aren't evil or plotting to take over just because Anakin says they are to excuse their genocide. Similarly, the Jedi are not enslavers just because Slick says they are to excuse his betrayal that led to a lot of deaths (and would've led to MORE if the Jedi in question here hadn't managed to come up with an escape plan to get as many people out as possible). You aren't supposed to trust Slick, so his comments aren't proof of the writers' intentions.

Cody: The tracks lead here.
Obi-Wan: Thanks, eagle eye.
Anakin: According to the manuals, clones without control chips are stupid and violent, so we can’t scare Slick when we go to talk to him.
Rex: I wish I was stupid and violent, then we’d show him, I’d pound his dumb face into a pulp-
Cody: *gently holding a hand to Rex’s face, smothering him* Calm, young dumbass, we can beat the shit outta him later.

Slick, giving a recently abducted reassigned Dogma the grand tour of the barely put together Coruscant Guard barracks: WELCOME TO CORUSCANT, WE'RE ALL CLONES OF JANGO! Slick, singing over Fox who's currently doing Spice to feel something other than absolute terror and exhaustion: KUMBAYAAAAAA MY LOARD!!!! Dogma, slightly horrified: (ಥ皿ಥ)

Yall I kinda wish that the mystery assassin clone isn’t going to be tech. Love that guy but I want it to be another clone that fulfilled his plot and was never seen again. I know that there’s a 99.999% chance that it is him tho and if it is imma gonna cry and be happy that he’s alive. But like, what about all the other clones who are missing???

Picturing an AU of The Clone Wars where Slick starts to write a manifesto instead of conspiring with the Separatists and sparks a revolution among his brothers.

One story that I wish had been expanded on in TCW is Slick’s. It always bothered me that after realizing that the Clones were enslaved, he is condemned by the narrative and never seen again. Sure, selling out his brothers and getting them killed was objectively wrong, but I find it odd that his observation about the Clone’s lot in life didn’t get a real look beyond “lol, this guy is an asshole. Back to fighting, boys!” In fact, one of my biggest gripes about Star Wars canon as a whole is the fact that the whole slave army situation isn’t often acknowledged for what it is: a human rights violation, especially when so many of the characters brushing it under the rug are portrayed as “heroic” and other arcs are willing to condemn slavery against other groups but not the clones. The double-standard about who “counts” as enslaved and the hand waving of it altogether smells like a missed storytelling opportunity, to me.
I wish we got to see more about the clones grappling with the disconnect between wanting to do their duty to the Republic and wanting freedom to make meaningful choices. Rex meeting Cut *kind of* touched on that, but that specific internal conflict was underutilized throughout the series as a whole. The Bad Batch is doing a far better job of tackling this issue so far, and I hope that we get an outright confirmation from characters in-universe that the clones were enslaved and “protecting the Republic” was no excuse for politicians to purchase an army of people who had zero rights and zero choice but to fight and die in the war. This characterization and world-building would be SO INTERESTING, and it’s frankly criminal that the writers weren’t all over it!
I also want to know what exactly radicalized Slick and allowed him to see through his conditioning and sheltered upbringing. Once he was arrested, what happened from there? How did other clones deal with the fallout? Leaving Slick’s story off where it the writers did felt suspiciously like them going “I know that having our good guys enlist a slave army looks bad, but look at this guy! He doesn’t want to be enslaved! What a crazy asshole, amirite fellas?”

I'm getting pretty tired of people using Slick to condemn the Jedi as a whole.
Slick is so clearly presented as an unreliable narrator. And not even the way TOTJ did with Dooku where he's clearly NOT presented as an unreliable narrator, it's just that any viewer with media literacy is aware that Dooku's perspective is flawed and so it makes more sense to view it that way despite the obvious fact that the narrative in that show definitely supports Dooku.
Slick is an ACTUAL unreliable narrator. The shit he says to excuse his betrayal is exactly that: excuses. They even eventually point out what his ACTUAL motivation is: money. He betrayed everyone, including hundreds of other clones, for money from Ventress. He condemns the Jedi for being slave owners, but he helped an actual slaver succeed in this mission. Ventress is a Sith working for the Separatists, two groups of people sort-of explicitly known for being slavers and supporting other slavers. Slick claims to have made a strike "for all clones," but nothing he did helped anybody but himself and mostly just brought about harm to all of the other clones there. Not only did many of them die in the ambush he created, but he also blows up their armory which leaves them at a major disadvantage for the rest of the mission, something that will ALSO lead to more clone deaths ultimately.
Everything he says is suspect because they tell you that his actual goal is completely and entirely selfish. Much like Anakin later when he starts throwing out excuses like "I should've known the Jedi were plotting to take over," it's pure bullshit and the audience knows it. He knows he's done something unforgivable and is throwing out grand causes to excuse what he's done, not just to those he's hurt but to himself. He's trying to convince HIMSELF that he's done this for the greater good, but literally nobody believes him, including the other clones in the scene.
We also have an alternative to Slick who's far more reliable to look at: Cut Lawquane. Cut is presented as a good person whose motivations are pretty sound. Rex does condemn his choice to abandon the other clones, but Cut points out that everyone else in his unit had already been killed in the mission by the time he ran away. Cut also never once chooses to condemn the Jedi when explaining his choice. He does cite the way they were treated IN GENERAL as part of the reason he left, but that's just as applicable to the Kaminoans and the Republic Senate as it is the Jedi (and in fact MORE applicable to the Kaminoans and the Republic Senate than it is the Jedi). It's also really telling that the episode is titled the DESERTER. Not "The Escapee" or "The Runaway" or something that might reference slavery a bit more, but "The Deserter." Which is something way more applicable to something like a draft than slavery, and Rex's commentary and accusations during the episode support that, too.
So quite honestly, I'm more inclined to trust Cut than Slick, but no one seems to ever remember Cut when they're condemning the Jedi as slave owners, just Slick.

oh no, oh no no no no no.
I got a sequel fic(s) idea ALREADY for this Cody and Slick fic.
Cody's going to end up joining Rex's op to help smuggle clones out out of the Empire. I'm going to have Slick message Cody teasing him about how he did a shit job of hiding his new holonet account he used to sign on his holotab during this fic and make a quip along the lines of "You really need to learn how to be a better spy"
And my brain immediately went "So Cody needs to meet up with Quinlan and learn how to spy from him yes? And then they can mutually bond over their loss and trauma together and maybe over the course of the mission they end up having an angsty, no strings attached we both want to feel a human connection again affair.
I may have a lowkey ship for Cody/Quinlan. And would be totally down for a Cody/Quin/Obi-Wan thruple if we're being honest.
And then third fic, Cody finds out through Quin courtesy of the Path that Obi-Wan is alive and hiding out on Tattooine so Cody finally gets to reunite with Obi-Wan and yanno...actually confess and they semi-get their shit together. (Also can you imagine Obi's unmitigated horror in finding out Cody and Quin slept together?
OH MY GAWD WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE.
I actually had already planned to write this awful, angst-filled Cody has to survive Obi-Wan's death in ANH and just spends the remainder of the war getting older, sadder and more tired of living fic I'd been talking to Lisia about months ago.
So guess I have a new angst goblin fucking universe now.

An accurate representation of my mind right now when considering how this is going to be a fucking behemoth this will become because I know myself.
