I would've thought that, given the model and the training that the stormtroopers of Episodes 4-6 would have been of better quality. Maybe after the clone war they just started a massive conscription program? IP: Logged
Snaggy Moderator Posts: 1583 From: Canada Registered: Jan 2000	posted May 25, 2002 18:29 There's a theory out there that says after Jango Fett left the clone making facility, the clone makers had to use DNA of clones to make more clones, hence the quality went down, hence the not-quite-as-bright stormtroopers of later episodes. copy of a copy theory...

EngrBohn Uber Geek Posts: 803 From: United States Registered: Jul 2000	posted May 26, 2002 03:47 Kinda like analog VCRs? That theory would also explain why the Imperial army's commissioned officers seemed to be (almost?) exclusively non-stormtrooper. You'll notice that in Ep2, the officers were clones with distinctive helmets, but in Ep4-6, the officers, down to commanders of individual armor units, were not stormtroopers. The only stormtrooper in a leadership position was the guy in charge of the search for the droids on Tatooine in Ep4, and he probably was an NCO. ------------------ cb Oooh!

LifetimeTrekker Highlie Posts: 506 From: Albuquerque, NM, UD Registered: Sep 2001	posted May 26, 2002 14:48 I wonder if Lucas had the stormtrooper/clone angle from episode 4? Clearly all the stormtrooper voices are different from 4-6. Nice to know the Death Star construction will already be underway in episode 3. The time frame is now just about right for it to be ready in episode 4, although the second one must have been under construction well before 6 to be completed in such a short time. Why wouldn't I be surprised to see other Death Stars still under construction in some outlying area of the new Republic--if there is such? I would imagine there would be many sectors/systems reluctant to give up their own little fiefdoms to rejoin the collective, and one of those planet-killers can go a long way toward conquering other systems. After he finished his storyline, it could be interesting for Lucas to farm out the future stories and keep the video stories coming for decades. The novel franchise seems to do well enough.

younghart Maximum Newbie Posts: 16 From: Braunschweig, GER Registered: May 2002	posted June 14, 2002 04:30 hmm. first, ithought: neat - you can actually buy this uniform! But then: Isn�t it one of the reasons why them baddies are bad - that they use their people for being unpersonal, faceless (cloned!) soldiers? Wouldn�t it be more with the incredible George (TM) to stay in your individualized urban camouflage? Although, I still think as long as it�s just 4 fun and the majority is still wearing something else, it�s gotta be fun to have. Enjoy! IP: Logged
