I was watching episode 2, and during the part when Obi-Wan first saw the clones I thought:"Could the clone project be a inspiration of the SPARTAN-IIIs?"
Because of the fact that both took place on a secrect planet, both units had sped up growth, and they are expendable.
What do you think?

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

Wat.

Just curious... did you ever consider that maybe the Spartans were the inspiration for the Spartans?

The human element always mucks things up.

Get the hell off my planet!

Spartan-III growth wasn't sped up at all, they were just inducted into the program at different ages, some as old as 8.

Well then, you somehow found my signature, nice job, so time for your prize.............FLOODIANS! ATTACK! Also, those socks do NOT make you look handsome.

Spartan I - III's =/= expendable

Spartan IV's = Expendable compared to before

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

You mean the Spartans from the movie 300?

Spartan IIIs. They were only in Reach.


I guess it's possible, but I'm just not seeing it.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

No...they were hinted at in Fall of Reach, then officially unveiled in Ghosts of Onyx, with short stories and such surrounding them. They were established years before Halo: Reach.

Let me think about this the plot for Episode 2 was done around 2000 and Halo came out near the end of 2001. Yeah this is just too funny to even think it is a possibility.

They aren't similar.

Yes, because the concept of clones did not exist before Star Wars or Halo.

The Episode was made before Spartan III's were canon I believe.

Either way, when you get down to the details, they aren't similar at all.

I'm a 100% that Spartan 3's weren't even Canon or thought of back that. So no.
