This "stormtroopers suck in the OT" thing is annoying, and based entirely off the idea that they should all have the marksmanship of Dirty Harry- leaving aside the obvious fact that killing the heroes would end the movie and suck, their accuracy is not that bad compared to real life soldiers, whoose fire:hit ratio ain't anywhere near what we see from, say, the heroes in the OT.
As for this clones thing- George Lucas' explanation that it had become "political" by the time of the OT etc and that the most capable "speciments" weren't being chosen should be taken as a joke, nothing more- you train anyone, doesn't matter what "specimen" they are, enough, and they become a capable soldier.
Maybe they have a cut off date.mebbe they die at a certain age or are more likely rounded up by Palpatine and "dispersed" with much like old racing horses
Wow....I like unno's explanation.
'Cept for one thing: Boba spent TWENTY YEARS away from his father, travelling the galaxy, etc.
So would his accent not be different? GL doesn't give two f*cks about logic, just that whatever he says has to be considered canon and a sealed topic.
2 Years Down the Line....:
GL> In my original conception of STAR WARS, all the Stormtroopers WERE Clones - but they were all Cloned off of Greedo, which would explain why he was such a bad shot, and why Han got off the shot first....
First of all, LOL to your two years down the line joke! That cracked me up.
Second of all, spending twenty years away from Jango doesn’t necessarily mean his accent would change. It depends on the person, but there is usually a sort of cut-off age, after which an acquired accent does not change. For example, my neighbor is from New York, and he's lived in Florida for more than 20 years. Still, he has a New York accent. So, if Boba was past his cut-off age, then his voice wouldn't change. Furthermore, even if he WAS past the cut-off age, you said yourself that he spent those twenty years traveling the galaxy. If he is constantly moving from place to place, and he doesn't stay in one place long enough to acquire a new accent, then he would probably keep his original (e.g. Kiwi) accent.
