The Empire likely phased out the last of the Fett clones within a few years of this event. The novel takes place about 5 years after the end of the Clone Wars (14 BBY), so clone production evidently stopped at the end of the Clone Wars and within 5 years the clones were becoming too old to be useful as soldiers (due to their age acceleration). The bare-headed others comprising Vader’s squad were human regulars who had enlisted after the war. Tarkin couldn’t make sense of the remark until he realized that Crest’s was a face he had seen countless times during the war-the face of an original Kamino clone trooper. “Perhaps you are aging too quickly to remain on active duty.”
“Excuses won’t suffice, Sergeant Crest,” Vader cut him off. “I warned you to be careful!” he shouted up at the trooper. Retracted hatch, Vader stamped forward with his gloved hands clenched. When the stormtrooper operating the equipment accidentally allowed theįlattened sphere to bang against the edge of the cargo hold’s Here is the relevant quote (the stormtroopers are loading Darth Vader's meditation chamber onto Tarkin's ship): It includes a scene where a group of stormtroopers are led by a Fett clone sergeant but all the other troopers are non-clone recruits. However, it is almost assured that these few were the only Fett clones still alive around 40 ABY (and thus the last ones in the galaxy), as the 'unfixed' clones would have died of biological age long before.Īround 40 ABY (towards the end of Legends canon), we do see some research still being done on cloning (by a Kaminoan, no less), but not to the level of the clone troopers.įor an answer from canon, the best information we currently have is from the canon novel Tarkin. Using this research, several other clones were also able to extend their lifespan, and though we are not told of their names, it is likely that these were the other Null ARC Troopers. Still alive at the time of the Legacy of the Force series, he was in reality over 70 years old, but biologically 140. He was one of the first Fett Clones, a Null ARC trooper who was cloned in 32 BBY, and was able to stop the rapid aging using stolen Kaminoan research. However, one exception to this is Jaing Skirata. Given the accelerated aging, not many clones would be alive even 40-50 years after their aging. No more new Fett clones were created, and as he pointed out, these eventually died or deserted.
But as far as Legends canon goes, we do have a couple answers:Īs Polynomial notes in his answer, the last of the Fett clones were created about the time of the Kamino Uprising in 12 BBY, and these "anti-troopers" were all destroyed. Currently, there isn't a Disney canon answer, as we don't know the makeup of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps at the time of the original trilogy.
