did luke & han know about the clone troopers?

In ep IV luke and han wore storm trooper suites to rescue liea.
When they took the suites off the troopers, didn't they see that they looked alike? Shouldn't that have been covered in the movie?

no, who cares. It was established in AOTC

ya, but wouldn't you wonder why the hell they look the same

I always figured that the clone troopers from Ep2 (having accelerated growth and all) were all old and grey or dead, and since then the Empire has set up training bases to train actual people as troopers? This is supported in ANH when the two troopers were chatting with each other, I would think that the clones would be too trained and disciplined to do something like that. my $.02

thank you. It is always awsome to get an educated answer. thanks

"you're kind of short for a stormtrooper...'

I dont think this was a big glacatic secret.

.

at the time of ANH , The Storm troopers were made up of some of the clones left over from the Clone wars and new recruits.So looking alike didnt really matter. surely short Stormtroopers would be doing the dishes or cooking

Exactly! Thanks for seein eye 2 eye with me Sweets! you better hed over to the Koruva Blue milk bar, I think you have an angry customer.

thanks. I thought about that, but i still wondered about the remaining clones.

Yo yoda, you seem like a really nice person, and I don't want to get into a skirmish (little drunk right now).

But my "overanalyzing Alert" is about to go off.

Oh, just a heads up, sooner or later someone will be giving you crap for putting this in the wrong forum.

Luke know of the Clone wars:
(To Obiwan) "YOU fought in the Clone wars...?"-ANH
So he probably knew about the troops being clones.....
And as mentioned above, Leia seemed to know, Chewie knew, having served with and then fought them...and Han he probably knew or was told by Chewie..... R2'd know if his memory survives Ep3 unerased...
Yeah I've always been under the impression (Since I saw AOTC) that it was common knowledge in the SW universe...
But whether or not the Stormtroopers Han and Luke mugged for their armour were actually Clones remains to be seen....

You're right!
The same sorta issue is also discussed in another thread.
I repeat; GL himself states that during the old trilogy the imperial forces consists of prequel clones, new clone sources, conscripted soldiers, mercenaries, academie-graduates etc.. etc..
I see no need to further discuss this thread...no offense!

😉 😄

Err, no, GL never stated the stormtroopers consisted of conscripted soldiers, to my knowledge. Only that they were all clones.

Than go through all your non-EU SW-sources again...I don't just say it for fun, I know for sure it is said by George on some documentary or on the OS.
What you think the academy is for>not just fighterpilots or officers, also for recruitments of imperial soldiers!

No offense Ush! 😉

I thought that some of them were clones, the rest of them just signed up.

INT MILLENIUM FALCON. HAN SOLO, CHEWBACCA, and LUKE SKYWALKER stand around two recently murdered stromtroopers. CHEBACCA removes teh hemet of teh first one, and shlowly removes that of the second one. The IDENTICAL FACES of the Stormtroopers shock the crew.

LUKE
My god....they're....they're the same!

HAN
SO THIS IS PROGRESS!!

But that never made it into the movie, hence it is not canon. Nice find though....

Was that from... what script, a draft? 1974? Or was it in the books? 😑
