Oh, what an old thread. Anyway! Just have found something from the Master himself that feeds my thesis, that not all Stormtrooper were clones: (source: MTV.com) You can read the entire interview here. So some troopers have been shanghaied? Wow! I allways thought they were recruits. Not very clever if you want to have some loyal troops. A note on Wookiepedia feeds another theory of myne: (source: Wookieepedia.com) This theory was the base for my work on the Stormtrooper MK I-Card (which is not finished yet): http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/4908/coruscantstormdy8.png (source: 501st.com/chienworks.com) On Wookieepedia they also told, that lots of people thought, after they´ve heard that the title for the new movie would be "Attack of the Clones", that the Clones would be the new threat for the republic. Which I also believed after watching the first trailer, were also a guy appeared, of which I thought was Boba Fett in a newer looking armour. Of course the movie told whole another story, allthough Boba was described in the "The Empire Strikes Back"-novell as one member of warriors, who once has been defeated by the Jedis. Oh yeah, I´m a nerd!
