Does anybody know when the empire began calling the clone-troopers: storm-troopers? (i was thinking when they began cloning different officers) and also why did they begin cloning imperial officers instead?

What I wanna know is, if the stormtroopers are Clones, then why are there so many Imperial recruiting places? (I'm not naming any place since EU isn't allowed in this forum)

Because not all stormtroopers are clones.

all the clones have something that makes them age twice as fast. after a while ( AOTC - ANH ) you'd think a lot of them died either from getting killed or age.

Palpy would still keep the clones going on Kamino.

yes but.... why didnt they make more? did kamino get destroyed or something?

after the war is there really a need for more clones ?

Clones would be cheaper than brain-washed recruits.

how so ? you dont have to keep paying an entire planet who knows how much to build you people and just give some low life a pocketful and hes on your side

Actually, no. Supposedly, just recruiting people off the street and training them is cheaper and easier than creating vats of clones.

Clones are more loyal, and just make the Kaminoians afraid.

but didnt they realize the clones of Jango Fett were alot smarter and stronger?
STI

i guess. i would pay for having real people though. they live longer 😛
KAN

(i just thought of this🙂 maybe they couldn't clone anymore since Jango Fett died... unless they could have made clones off the clones
STI
StinkFist462Your Mom
is that possible? to make a clone of a clone ? hmm interesting
KAN
KaNeKnOxMember
if it isn't, maybe thats why they stopped
STI
StinkFist462Your Mom
could be. but i think jango would be like dead if they needed a sample of him for every clone they made

lol, good point, but still there would most likely have to be a limited supply of DNA to make a certain amount of clones every so-often
