Re: Small question about Stormtroopers.

I am pretty sure the StormTroopers are all new recruits and new strands of clones,  except for the 501st are old clones and even they are being replaced and dying off by the GCW Era. I think some of the 501st legion were also separated and made into commanders of other Stormtrooper legions...


Someone correct me if I am wrong tongue


Also, moving to Star Wars disscussion.

Re: Small question about Stormtroopers.

Troopers are new recruits. Han Solo went to the imperial acadamy remember? No doubt some clones were left over, but afaik, new recruits only. Didnt the Emperor hide the cloning technology so only he could use it anyway?

Re: Small question about Stormtroopers.

You're absolutely correct TY2D2; most are recruits, drawn from numerous worlds in the Galactic Empire. There are some clones still in use, but these are usually assigned to units with special duties.

Actually, you have it backwards. wink The vast majority are clones pulled from various genetic templates, but a very large portion are conscripts.

Re: Small question about Stormtroopers.

Actually Kaminoan Cloning was dropped after the Clone wars, but not before the emperor chose a few new templates to clone more troops for the new order but a good number of clone troopers remained, and they had remarkably qualities.

New recruits come from imperial academies (Han Solo and Kyle Katarn are fine example, as is Crix Madine)

The cloning the emperor uses on the dark empire are Spaarti cloning cylinders
