Actually, we have discussed this before but it was well over a year ago. It would be nice to have new input from all the rest who have joined since then.

What I posted before on the topic is that Stormtroopers are not all clones. Some may be, but not all. The reason why they are not clones anymore is that an army was needed quickly and they didn't have time to recruit and train, so they built genetically, hence the Clonetroopers in AOTC and ROTS. However, as the prestige and renown of the Clonetroopers spread with the birth of the Empire, the need to create them waned as people wanted to sign up (or they could have instituted a draft, who knows?). So they now have an army of whatever happens to fit the uniform. This also helps to explain why Stormtroopers are such bad shots and have different voices than Jango and his clones who all sounded the same and were great shots (as I recall)... they're human (arguably) and quite fallible.
