[QUOTE]Originally posted by Red XIV: [QB] On the question of whether Stormtroopers are clones, I'm saying no. We know that the Imperial Army and Navy are not clones, since we see the officers' faces. So why should the Stormtrooper Corps be different? And IIRC the black-uniformed officers are promoted Stormtroopers, and clearly they're not clones. And after the Clone Wars, there's no longer any need to clone soldiers. Palpatine went to Kamino and had clones made because he needed an army built up secretly and relatively quickly. He couldn't gather and train a sufficiently large army through conventional means without people noticing, so he resorted to clones. As that's no longer an issue after the Empire is established, there would be no reason to continue with such expensive procedures. Moreover, it's just more logical to draw the 'troopers from the general populace of the Empire. If nothing else, it puts millions upon millions of citizens to work for the Empire. If all those Stormtrooper positions are being held by clones, that leaves you with millions upon millions of normal humans who might find other, more seditious things to do with their time.
