I see..

i don't know for sure. i think that's what's being implyed, though none of the Stormtroopers have Jangos voice (as the clone troopers did). But all the Stormtroopers did seem to have the same voice as each other, so maybe a new person was cloned?

i seem to remember differences in the stormtrooper voices, so i'd assume they can't be clones. aren't they also different heights? otherwise how would wee luke and taller han find uniforms to fit them both to a tee?

at the end of Episode III you see Darth Vader on the bridge of an Empire ship with the Emperor and the technology was suddenly analog/push button... but just 20 minutes before that (in movie time) when he was on the volcano planet destroying the Trade Federation the technology was clearly touchscreen and shit.

- Empire ship building was outsourced...damn Nabooian push button technology!!TheBlueOne

The thing that I don't like about start wars is that in parts 1,2,3, the storm trooper equivalent fighting things are robots.
Fast forward to 4,5,6 and they are humans inside the armor outfits. When Han, Luke, and Leia put on the storm trooper suits, they obviously had to strip them off of some poor dudes.
I have many issues with the visual lineage of the prequels and the originals. If you want to have a long conversation about it, call me up.
- how the visual lineage is somewhat more advanced in 1, 2 and 3 than it is in 4, 5 and 6?Point5
- the newer trilogy should be ignored entirely, its utter shite, midichlorians my fucking assGreedo
- Yep point5, you said it. How can you have the planes in 1,2,3, so sleek and aerodynamic...mg33
- and in 4,5,6 the "fastest ship in the galaxy" is modeled from a garbage can lid, all boxy, square shapes, etc.? it's dumb.mg33
- don't forget the IBM graphics of the death star, all green screen and shit...Greedo
- i think they were talking about technological devolution after the clone wars, but i aint buying itGreedo
- The Galaxy became a getto hole with the Empire dictating. The Rebels made do with what they could.ETM

Initially, the stormtroopers served as the army of the Galactic Empire, putting down revolts and establishing imperial authority.[1] After one such revolt on Kamino, Fett clones throughout the army were slowly replaced by non-clone recruits to reduce their susceptibility to manipulation. One of the few stormtrooper legions to remain "pure" (completely composed of Jango Fett clones) throughout the era of the Empire was the fictional 501st (also called "Vader's Fist").

when I was a kid I was member of the Official Star Wars fan club and I thought I remember reading (in the Bantha Tracks newsletter) a sample of a Stormtrooper recruitment form... it went on to describe how the job included travel and that you would get to vacation in remote parts of the galaxy. Wish I would have saved those things.
- i used to get Bantha Tracks as welllocustsloth
- wish I woulda kept those things

Answer: Han shot first.

At some point I thought cloning machines / facilities were lost or destroyed. Another factor to using human recruits to fill out clone ranks. Plus recruiting is cheaper than cloning. The clones were just a means to create a secret and loyal army en mass.
As to the switch from robots fighting to clones/humans. The robots were the choice of the Trade Federation, not the Empire. A group with lots of money but initially with a business agenda, rather than a military one. Makes sense to make a force than train one.
