did i say the stormtroopers were clones? I dont recall saying that in this post. i said the clonetroopers were the FORERUNNNERS of the stormtroopers. their uniforms look very similar, which would indicate that the same political power created both of them. i didnt think my statement would need explaining, but i underestimated the intelligence of some people, i guess. 😉 j/k going on the similarity of their uniforms, to say a DIFFERENT government would use similar uniforms would be like after WWII, the united states saying, "hey, i loved those german gestapo uniforms. lets give all our soldiers uniforms that look like that." their uniforms look similar because palpatine created them both to be soldiers in his army.
