For all we know, most Imperial Gunners WERE clones. They were hidden behind those masks after all.

It seems to me that in GL's opinion, any Imperial with a full-face mask is a clone.

I think that was Cody's thoughts as written by Matt Stover for the novel.
I was wondering, do the clones turn on the Jedi strictly because they are ordered too? Or does the "order 66" command carry a hidden psychological trigger that causes their complete loyalty to the Jedi to be overridden?
i think they were taking orders, i mean do you know of any other time that hte clones did something they werent told to do?, i mean the Clone Troopers, not the ARCS not the Commandos

They were born and bread to serve as the Grand Army of the Republic/Empire

If most stormtroopers are clones why don't the Imperials realize immediately that Luke and Han are not clones? They would have identical voices.

Because there are multiple clone templates, I assume. Lucas didn't change them into Jango-voice for the DVD edition.

Also, doesn't the helmet distort the voice? That could account for it.

CLONES SHOULD NOT HAVE THE TEMPLATE'S VOICE.

No, because a.) its an ad hoc explanation from the peculiar unrealism in question, and b.) its absence would only prove its absence in those clones; it is not an intrinsic property of clones and cloning and this not an indicator of clones and cloning.

Though they should not have the template's voice, they do. Therefore, the ad hoc explanation is quite fine.

Yes, but then you can't use it itself as a proving indicator of clones because its not an intrinsic property.
