In The Bad Batch premiere episode, Admiral Tarkin visits the clone facility on Kamino and informs the Kamioan Prime Minister that the Empire is questioning the need for Clone Troopers with the end of the Clone War, much to the shock of the Kaminoans. But it seems like The Bad Batch has finally revealed the truth. While some believed that it might be because of clones like the Bad Batch themselves who proved to be unaffected by the inhibitor chip, aside from Crosshair. Others believed it was due to the loss of the original source for the clones, Jango Fett, who was killed in Attack of the Clones. Many fans have speculated in the past that it had to do with the clones advanced aging, which was used to quickly create clone soldiers for the Clone War.
