Clones Q&A

[frankthedm]

with the way stormtroopers shoot, it would be plausable for them to be 45 [90] years old.

Why brainwashed clones?

Order 66

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Order 66 is the reason to outlaw cloning. If you did it, someone else will figure it out, too.

I favor a mix, mostly of recruited humans, personally.

Why spend untold amounts of time and money on clones when you can just use kids who were raised to believe in the Empire for free?... What is twenty or twenty five years between III and IV. Now that is brain washing! In a few short months and years the Sith has brainswash almost all the good children to believe the Academy is the way to go.
Sorry. I just have go with oops plot hole theory of the troops.

Brainwash? Remember, the "Democracy ended with an applause". That means a lot of people agreed with Palpatines decision (otherwise, the whole Empire thing would have failed). There is no need to brainwash people to go to the military - they do it all the time in our world.
As far as we know, most of the planets had their own security guards and armies, so they "just" had to integrate this army into the Imperial Force. The people interested in working for the military were already there.

Somebody who got his head lopped off in a fourth of a second,

Hey, it wasn't just anybody who did the lopping, it was one of the two most powerful Jedi in the galaxy.

I will make myself believe that the new Stormtroopers are regular humans. Clones of Jango Fett just couldn't suck that much.

What are you talking about?!

Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise!

Well, he hadn't been around Imperial troops in 20 years.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Well, to be honest, the troopers DID hit that Sandcrawler. Precise is all about your point of view.

Too true, too true. And they were being compared to the Sand People. And they wore dresses. So they must be bad shots. Or something.
