Bizarre... But I'm pretty sure this is just an old, weird theory created back then, but with no real meaning now. Stormtroopers from ANH on are NOT clones. Period.

Well, clearly the stormtroopers WERE clones back when the original movies were out (that was an authorized and widely available guide at the time largely based on Lucas' scripting). And don't forget: Lucas said recently (in the AotC commentary?) that Jango's head-bumping was passed along to future stormtroopers. So there's no "period" here. Personally, I can't see why Lucas would introduce clone troopers who look exactly like the stormtroopers, only to ditch the clone concept in favor of recruiting troops. The commentary on the Clone Wars DVD also suggests that future stormtroopers are all clones. Maybe Revenge of the Sith will shed some light on this, but I doubt it.
