Hiya James,
Never having read any of the Star Wars novels I couldn't comment. However, I
find it at least possible (and practical) that Stormytoopers are clones. Now
that doesn't mean to say that they are all identical, of course not. But
they could be cloned using thousands of different genetic templates.
Anyway, I thought it might be interesting to others if I posted this text
file I've mentioned to see what reaction it gets. Check pit my post to ALL
in here and perhaps let me know what you think?
ire
I like the idea of highly polished armor. It would look rather cool
(Somewhat like the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica I suppose). The idea
makes good sense, but I suspect it could cause havoc when filming! :)

Hiya Brandon,
Although noone knows for sure whether Stormtroopers are clones or not the
idea sounds quite practical to me. Also remember that being clones doesn't
mean that they are all cloned from just one genetic bluprint. There may be
thousands of clone "models" if you like.
I think from a military standpoint producing clones means that you have an
endless supply of obedient soldiers without resorting to lengthu recruitment
schemes or even worse using drafting (which often causes resentment and
decent on the part of the drafted men which ultimately leads to loyalty and
preformance problems.
Still, nobody knows for sure. I've posted that text file I mentioned earlier
for everyone to read and see what they think.
I think you've taken Vaders order "See to it personally Commander." a little
too literally :) I think Vader was referring to the officer concerned
organizing the search directly with the Stormtroopers and not just passing
the order down through the ranks.

I suppose its main purpose could be to just deflect indirect shots.

Has anyone got it?? and if so, what do you think of it??
