Numbers
According to canon statements, approximately three million "units" of clonetroopers were produced during the Clone Wars, as production was slowed by the fact that it took ten years to raise a clone soldier to maturity. There is some dispute over what constitutes a "unit", as three million troopers would be an incredibly small number even to invade or defend a planet populated similarly to Earth, to say nothing of a galaxy-spanning government like the Galactic Republic. Naturally, this issue is very controversial in fandom.
