George Lucas just doesn't give one damn about the EU, despite official canon policies. He'll go his own way regardless.

From February? I recommend giving the Announcements forum a good read.

always figured (untill AOTC) that stormtroopers were very much like the emperors privte guard(forget the name) in Dune, Ie raised from brith in amazingly harsh condtions to foster toughness and loyalty.
Based on the recent movies I feel the most likely scenario is........
The clone troops formed the core of the stormys, mixed in with the best of the Republic mlitary, the elite forming the basis of new clone lnes, mixed n with the offspring of stormies, rased on worlds dedicated to devolping, stormy's.
In other words a mixture of clones of the best, a breeding, lfelong indoctination program, with the best of the standard military being thrown in for fresh blood.

mwm1331, didn't you notice how the very last post said not to resurrect dead threads? Then you resurrect one from four and a half months ago?! What is wrong with you?!
Why wonder why? The answer is simple: obviously, someone somewhere decided that he or she needed Baby Jesus up the ass.

Just throwing a tid-bit into the mix. The only part of the OT that would suggest that Stormies are clones would be Leias comment in ANH. Something about being a little short to be a Stormtrooper. I know it is not solid proof, but it does give an idea that stormtroopers have to meet some type physical equirements.

They are clones. See Pax Emperica. This has been done to death, use the search function, the end.
