[NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT
- Thread starter Feien
- Start date
The stormtroopers in the original trilogy had different voices and height was mentioned because they had to meet certain enlistment standards. I don't think clone troopers were even conceptualized until 20 years later.

I thought it all came from Obi-Wan saying he fought with Anakin during "the Clone Wars", which is a kind of dumb 70's thing that gained a new life when Lucas tried to make sense of everything he said in the Prequels.

I distinctly remember knowing 20 years ago that the old stormtroopers, possibly current stormtroopers, were clones. But I have no basis for knowing that. I'd never read a star wars book at that point and there was no wookiepedia. It was just something I knew and informed all the plebes about.

I believe he had a very sparse outline when he was writing. I recall that "A New Hope" was originally released as Episode 1, and became Episode 4 sometime before Empire came out. I think in that time is probably when he fleshed out what little he had about the prequels.
hmm, I don't recall that. For some reason I kept thinking they were robots. I was very young though, that's why I wasn't bothered by things like luke and han tricking them and taking their armor.

I don't know why they bothered trying to make storm troopers anything than what they were: shit tier soldier pawns who got befuddled by jedi.
Then again I really enjoyed
My fav part about new star wars movies is that it means new star wars games. And with the recent increases in money going to space flgith sim games there MUST be a new tie fighter.

For me the "Storm troopers are clones" happened somewhere between Jedi and Phantom.
Like in New Hope, it seemed like they were just regular old grunts with spiffy space armor, and there were other grunts without space armor. Then in Empire most everyone had the space armor and there weren't unarmored troops so much. And then in Jedi I think we got the elite version of storm troopers with the red and the fancy hats and stuff.
And then 10 years later everyone was like, "I bet they were clones!"
