"SYMBOL OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC, THE CLONE TROOPER HAS BECOME AN UBIQUITOUS PRESENCE..."
"...on embattled worlds throughout the galaxy. In the grim theater that is the Clone War, the trooper is also a mindless actor in a diabolical plot to topple the galaxy into darkness."
-- JAMES LUCENO, "SW: ROTS: TVD," published by DK Books, c. 2005
PIC(S) INFO: Mega spotlight on assorted pages focusing on Clone Troopers in their Phase II armor, from "STAR WARS -- Revenge of the Sith: The Visual Dictionary" (2005), written by James Luceno. Published by DK/Lucas Books.
MINI-OVERVIEW: "The Clone Troopers remain the symbol of the war effort and the backbone of the army but, their armor gouged, dented and smeared with the mud of a hundred worlds, they are no longer the white knights they appeared to be at the start of the war. Patched and repaired, they are returned to the front lines time and again to continue the fight for truth, justice, and, of course, the Republic way."
-- "STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH: THE VISUAL DICTIONARY," c. 2005
