Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Awesome Things (That Won’t Happen)

9. The Return Of The Clone Army As much as Empire is regarded as the best film in the franchise the title "Attack of the Clones" is often regarded as the worst. However, what it did provide was one of the most potentially dangerous armies in all of science fictions. The titular clones are all duplicates of the deadly bounty hunter Jango Fett. Of these clones, the only one known to survive is Boba Fett, who Jango raised as a son. With more than enough gas to create a huge stockpile of blaster weapons, imagine an older battle hardened (and possibly mad) Boba Fett leading an army of Boba Fett clones. Bepsin is certainly remote enough for these shenanigans to take shape, but the reasons why might be hard to define. Perhaps Fett is tired of working for the small bucks. Considering the Empire was founded, quite literally, by his brothers he may be harboring some delusions of grandeur towards rights to the Galaxy's throne. Or, he might be interesting in cultivating a mercenary army; after all if one Boba Fett is the most awesome bounty hunter in the galaxy, how much would a Fett army be worth to dirty dealers, Siths, and Hutts? Even without the Boba Fett factor, a return of the clone army could be a tipping point for any side in continued conflict during Episode VII, but with Fett an awesome character could suddenly become a king.
