The Wars are over and the Clone Armies of the Republic are returning victorious.
?????? are we talking Clone wars here. I always been of the opinion that the jedi`s represented the republic and fought the clone armies. 😕

I hope we get to see a bit of the Clone Wars in Episode 3 though. Otherwise it will be intrige only.

the one thing I said was that this are the credits, written in 1974 and I think it has a BIG chance to make it as openinglines of EpIII! So I think closing this is unfair because it's still on topic!

Finti, the scriptment (and other leaked snippets) makes out the Clones to be on the Republic's side, contrary to what people assumed. However, the title would suggest that the Clones are in fact the aggressors. Difficult to be sure right now.

perhaps they're evil and you see that in EpIII?

Possibly. Yoda seems to hint at trouble with the Clones... who knows.

there has been a rumor that all the stormtroopers were clones....
QUE
queeqChaos
Yes. They either are clones or they are humans replacing the clones and using similar outfits. That convo between the two stormtroopers in ANH when OB1 is shutting down the tractor beam doesn't strike as a clone convo.

they started as clones and they were replaced by humans, pure logic

UshgarakPaladin
Er, no, NOT pure logic, yerssot. Pure logic has to be self-explanatory and that statement does not say why the clones were replaced.
Are we sure stormtroopers use similar outfits as clones, then?
QUE
queeqChaos
Pretty much yes. We don't have perfect confirmation, but we've seen the Clone armour designs. They look like anearly version of the Stormtrooper armour.

I still belive the Stormtroopers are mad up of either volunteers or conscripts .

Must be pretty crappy volunteers. Can't shoot a thing. 😉

If stormtroopers aren't clones then why can't we see their faces... because they're are clones, i suspect we see in ep3 the clones change ranks from the jedi too palpatine, hence the stormtroopers.

Hmm. I have never ever been convinced by the stormtrooper-clone connection. They were never protrayed as clones; just faceless implements of force.
Still, maybe.

but apart from them being the same and there being thousands of them??? i.e. clones and who cared when a stormtrooper died, i didn't.
"Oh no Jacks dead, ah well where's Jack?".

They just wear the same uniforms! That's all. It was never even vaguely suggested they were cloned, nor did they act like clones (for example, as queeq points out, their ANH conversation).
We have no reason to think they are anything other than standard armed forces.

If stormtroopers aren't clones then why can't we see their faces...
Beside the fact that they are hidden inside a standard Stormtrooper helmet. In my military unit (Norwegian reserve mobelizing force) you dont get to see much of our faces either and we are sure as hell no clones. I have argued my views on this numerose times and I agree with Ush last post here

Clones don't life for every so they have to be replaced!
If you study psychologie (spelling) than you know that every factor in your life can influence your caracter... this can explain that IF they were both clones (in ANH) they had another education.

Delving massivley into the realms of theory there.
Tell you what, it will annoy the EU brigade even MORE if the Stormtroopers are clones.
