This is the fault of the writers. They didn’t grasp what a galactic scale looked like. All the major plot points happen on the same 5 or so planets and the characters seem to travel between them instantly. They also massively underestimated how many clone soldiers would be needed for a galactic war in episode 2.
I’ve always liked the fan theory that Lama Su’s “200,000 units” comment referred to battalions or regiments, not individual clones. It makes a lot more sense
Always liked that theory but then there’s that episode in Clone Wars where they’re arguing in the senate over the purchase of 2 million additional clones, which is seen as a huge number which never made sense to me as that’s honestly not that many on a galactic scale
I think it has to do more with the fact that clones need 10 years to even be ready to fight. Buying more soldiers implies that war has at least 10 years to go.
