In Star Wars Legends canon, Luke and Leia would have died between movies without the heroic Clone Trooper Able. Able gave his life for the siblings, showing the clones' noble tendencies when not under Palpatine's control.
The Clone Troopers of the Star Wars prequel era are among the saga’s most underrated heroes, with one Rebel Clone even sacrificing himself to protect Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia in Legends continuity. The Clone, known as Able , avoided being brainwashed into Imperial service and proved the inherent altruism of all Clone Troopers by joining the Rebellion for ideological reasons, seeing them as the true upholders of the Republic’s ideals rather than its successor state, the Galactic Empire.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Legends-era Clone Troopers possessed free will and truly believed in the democratic system of the Republic. While both canon and Legends Clone Troopers only served the Empire when Order 66 activated dormant brainwashing protocols, new canon delves into the mechanics of the sinister order in detail while Legends is more vague .
While Clone Troopers are often dismissed as little more than humanoid automatons - both in-universe and by parts of the Star Wars fandom - both new canon and Legends make it clear that even the most heavily modified Clones can and do think for themselves. Clone Troopers earned the trust of the Jedi Knights before Palpatine brainwashed them into betraying their friends and the Republic, tragically turning them into the mindless minions that they are incorrectly perceived as.
Able became a true hero by serving as part of the Rebellion, ensuring its greatest heroes would go on to topple the Empire. Able’s transformation into a Rakghoul, however, ironically served a similar function to Order 66, only its effects are irreversible, turning a good man into a weapon of evil. At the end of this Star Wars Legends story, Leia and Luke Skywalker mourn Able as though he had died, knowing that their friend sacrificed himself for the good of the galaxy.
