A Discussion on the necessity of the Rebellion and portrayal of the Galactic Empire

[lars573]

Yeah but kamino is still the most important planet, save coriscant, the republic had at the time. The standing garrisson, not to mention the in-training clones forced onto the front line to defend thier home, would (or at least should, in these sorts of things it depends on the writer) be substantial enough to match all but the largest invasion forces.

Clone Wars season 3 episode 2, "ARC troopers." The Separatists attempt to mount a raid on the Kamino cloning facilities. But the Jedi know it's coming and send an extra Legion (the 501st) to beef up the garrison.
