Uh, Gil, you're kidding, right? Just pullin' our legs?

You're not seriously looking at that picture of a Galactic Marine, which is canonically established as a clone legion, obviously intended to be a clone, patterned (in real life) on Snowtrooper gear, seeing a smudge on his gloves, and saying it's an alien with exposed hands?

Yeah, wonder how I failed to consider the fact that they'll be deploying in varied environments. Parachutes sure wouldn't work for them, it's probably repulsors.

I sure as hell hope he's kidding. I wouldn't want a repeat of the whole SOD discussion disaster...

Note the hands. Those are definately not human and therefore not a clone. It shows pretty conclusively in the movie examples of non-clone Republic fighters.
This is the stupidest thing I have ever read. Its like God took a big shit from above and it landed where Gil's head is. Need I clean your clock again over this SOD thing? Has it still not occurred to you you're the only one who struggles with it?

Maybe the Jedi could levitate them to the ground. ;)
fun/fantasy movies existed before the overrated Star Wars came out. What made it seem 'less dark' was the sheer goofy aspect of it: two robots modeled on Laurel & Hardy, and a smartass outlaw with bigfoot co-pilot and their hotrod pizza-shaped ship, and they were sucked aboard a giant Disco Ball. -adw1
