I so wish that Lucas had leaned into the Clone aspect of the clone wars more and done a pod people.
Instead of robot armies, it would have been key members of society being replaced by identical clones, with Jedi being the only ones who could reliably spot the difference, at least at first.
Somewhere toward the middle of the Clone Wars they would discover an Anakin clone, the first successful Jedi clone, Obiwan then trains the clone, who Anakin later kills in anger and jealousy. Eventually a purely technological means is found of detecting clones, but by then the Emperor is in charge. (he had the tech from the beginning, but only released it when he was fully in control)
And if I ever get a time machine, I’m using it to make that change.
A certain point of view?

Or maybe George Lucas just couldn’t remember all the details from your version. That would explain some inconsistencies between the various parts Star Wars.
