Palpatine needed to kill the Jedi and create a loyal of his own. It’s terrible, and exactly why it makes so much sense. It’s an idea that makes that awful moment even more tragic, as the clones not only lose all autonomy, they are forced to forget all the good the Jedi did before. This way the clones feel as if the order to kill the Jedi was justified, and that they really were traitors to the republic.” So my idea was that the chips rewrite their memories along with forcing compliance. Otherwise the conflicting emotions and thoughts would make the army go mad in a short time, leaving the forming empire defenseless. But I thought that there must be more than just forcing obedience.

In the show the clones have an organic inhibitor chip placed in their brains to force them to obey Order 66.

“The inspiration came from a random thought I had watching The Clone Wars season finale. Csikasz told Nerdist where he got the idea for the short. It centers on the murder of a wholly original Quarren Jedi invented for the film, but told from the point-of-view of a clone who turned on him. “Betrayal” comes from creator Peter Csikasz of Loacher Films.
