Why are some of the stormtroopers so stupid?

Why? My point was answering that one.

WTH?

Because they are dumb nineteen year olds who thought war would be cool.

That's not very helpful, Overlord. I was heading off your point in advance by saying the Clones came from different templates, so why would the Insider statement look stupid?

After many days I finally understand that by these templates you meant other people the stormtroopers were cloned off, so then it finally answers my question that it wouldn't matter if faces were shown.
Damn.. You're posts are like riddles to me with stuff like heading off my point and the methoodical discovery of facts wich sounds so special.

Anyway, GL would have probably stated it before if all stormtroopers are clones. He can't just reveal that little fact after more than 20 years just because he made up the clones to be in the empires forces in his new movie even if they are all wearing masks, so the statement is still not well thought of.

Hmmm....gotta say this is what I always figured, honestly....

Easy with that pic. Maybe some of them felt that they were serving their nation.

Ah, well, that's another thing, because he had.

In VERY early interviews, back in the Bantha Tracks days, he talked about how he had often visaged Boba Fett as the 'father' of the stormtroopers, and then much later talked of how he made it Jango instead- but in any case, he was making out at that point that Stormies were Clones too. It all tracked. It just seemed a little odd.

Hmm.. That's an interresting fact. It shows once more that GL rarely abandones his old idea's, he probably intended the clones to have something to do with the mandoloreans or something and Boba an old warrior who survived it all or something.
But father of stormtroopers that's a little bit strange.. In the whole OT people were talking about the clone wars like it was a finished galactic war in the past or something, they would probably have talked different about it if they knew people were still cloned. Ah.. It would go against everything SW anyway..

WTF!? isnt all stormies clones

Not ALL of them, by ANH hope they had blended with regular recruits.

The loads of authorship Lucas saves by giving us ear candy...cheap ba$tard...

It doesn't make sense that Ep. 4 Leia says that Luke is a little short to be a storm trooper. If there were people that were recruits then that wouldn't be weird to have varied heights. Maybe they were just starting to recruit military forces because of the first rebel victory, sound valid?

Maybe there was a height requirement.

there's a maximum height for British secret agents for instance. So why can't there be a minimum height for stormtroopers? with the idea: the bigger the trooper, the scarier he looks

I have a Hyperspace mag that shows the speech that palpatine gives when he is "elaborating on the plot of the jedi to overthrow the republic". In that speech he says that the clonetroopers will now carry the name of imperial stormtroopers. Also in these new release as to what I have read Lucas is voicing over all the stromtroopers voices with Tamuera Morrison's voice. So if that is true, then all stromtroopers are still being made from the same dna. Also I have looked at the specs of the stromtroopers such has height and origins and is says that stromtroopers like clone troopers are 1.83 meters in height. Which is about 6" somewhere around there and that they originated in Kamino. OK.. now here is the real reason why I think they are still jango's clones. During the time EP 4-6 were made Tamuera Morrison was like 10 yrs old or perhaps a little younger and of course could not make the voice. I don't think GL had even heard of the guy. So he is going back to change some stuff to reflect the prequals and that has been proven. I mean... he went back to change Bobba's voice. Well that's just my opinion. Still, I like the clone trooper's voice better that the ones he used for the stromtrooprs in the OT. It sounds more disciplined, it sounds cool so i hope he does change that.

Nope, stormtroopers aren't clones.

i know it's non-canon, but didn't battlefront II explain that the kaminoans sabotaged the clones, which started fighting the empire, disobeying order 66 and protecting jedi? then vader came in with the 501st and wiped out the tainted clones before creating different, and worse clones?

there you have it...lucas finally says that SOME stormtroopers are indeed clones and that there are also inlisted people...

werd.

I already new that.

Galactic Republic - Galactic Empire
Clone Troopers - Storm Troopers

The clue's in the name.

"lucas finally says that SOME stormtroopers are indeed clones"

Wow, I guess he must think that SW is real in that case because he sure as hell didn't know that before he made the new movies.
