Cody had nine cups of coffee that morning, and was vibrating into the fourth dimension so he stopped listening after “execute order six-” order six, CANONICALLY, is “get rid of your communicator as fast as possible”. So that’s what Cody hears, and that’s what Cody relays to the GAR. So Palpatine executes his master stroke and six million clones just YEET their communicators and keep going about their business.

Palpatine, not knowing none of the troopers heard his “execute order 66” order and waltzing over to Fox just to gloat, thinking he’s still somewhat tranced in the “good soldiers follow orders” haze.

“See? I made all your friends kill their own generals because I’m actually one evil sith bastard and there’s nothing anyone can do about it”

Fox, slowly reaching for his blaster while palpatine turns his back on him to cackle: oh how very curious sir. How interesting. How fascinat-

And that’s how Fox becomes Supreme Chancellor of the Republic

The only headcanon I accept.

Fox, at the ripe old age of 13, not even an actual citizen of the Republic, kills the Sith chancellor, ascends to power, and actually gets shit done.

The galaxy is flabbergasted the Senate can, in fact, get off their asses when their leader is a military commander who spent way to much time indirectly involved in politics.

Not even an actual citizen of the Republic wow I forgot about the fact that clones aren’t citizens I am Upset now
