Absolute proof???? it's only Absolute proof that one of the 'extras' hit his head on a piece of scenery in ANH, I bet it wasn't in the script to show that he was meant to be a clone. it's crazy, even bloopers are explained away as part of Georges original vision.
:lol: Yeah, George just can't admit mistakes. One of my favorites is when Han Solo says he made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs (a measurement of distance, NOT time). Yet, the official website explains it like this:
While Captain Solo is known to make boastful claims that seem to defy the basic laws of space-time physics, in this particular case, an understanding of the mechanics of the Kessel Run illuminates this statistic.
The Kessel Run is a contest of speed and endurance for smugglers. Those who undertake it must deliver specified cargos (usually illicit in nature) to a series of divergently moving transport vessels. The smuggler must deliver the cargo before the transports wander out of the free trade lanes into restricted Imperial space.
Solo's record is impressive, since the transport vessels covered less than 12 parsecs of distance during his hurried run between them, a testament to his piloting and the speed of the Millennium Falcon.
There is more than one way to smuggle spice out of Kessel. According to one tale, Solo left out the middleman and ferried the stolen goods himself, skirting dangerously close to the Maw Cluster, a baffling congregation of black holes. In doing so, he shortened the distance for the run, achieving an impressive record of under 12 parsecs.
Using either methodology allows Solo's claim to stand, but there are many, including the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, who felt that the Corellian captain was just blowing hot air.
Riiiiiiiiiight.
I also have a question regarding this whole "Stormtroopers are/are not clones" debate. In Episode IV, didn't Luke want to leave his uncle's farm to join the Academy? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this an Imperial Academy where you train to become a Stormtrooper or Imperial officer? (Not sure why he wanted to join if he "hated" the Empire like he claimed to Obi-Wan, but I guess that's another issue entirely.) So why is there an Academy if you have access to clone factories?
