Re: Small question about Stormtroopers.

I'd be surprised if the new series doesn't answer this question

Re: Small question about Stormtroopers.

The Empire established quite a few cloning facilities hidden throughout the galaxy after the Kamino incedent. The methods of cloning the Kaminoans had perfected was the only reliable, safe way to mass produce clones on the level the Empire wanted.

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

Re: Small question about Stormtroopers.

To my understanding, some clones where used for special squads and missions, most where murdered or (since there clones) got rid off, in ep3 you can see obi talking about: 'its gonna take a while for the clones to understand what happended", i think the emperor used his clones to colonize planets, get new recruits, and when he got himself a army, he got rid of em, since if they found out the emperor whas the real traitor, they would turn on him. So imo he just mass-murdered 'em, tis a shame.

Re: Small question about Stormtroopers.

I thought the first batch of clones (ones who killed the Jedi) had a built in life exepctency of only 5-10 years?

Re: Small question about Stormtroopers.

Maybe due to their accelerated growth?. Would make sense

Re: Small question about Stormtroopers.

Well considering the Clone wars lasted for a pretty long time, they could have slowed down the age acceleration to make them last longer and longer as the republic already had a huge legion already and pumping them out as fast as possible may not have been the priority but longer lasting clones may have been, so at the very end they make have been able to live a lot longer.
