I like the idea that stormtroopers are clones.

In the way it was intended during the originals. Not that they’re all Boba Fett, but test-tube babies from multiple different hosts. I believe nepotism was involved too, with troopers being grown from certain high-ranking officers DNA.

It adds to the soullessness of the Empire. People weren’t voluntarily enlisting, they were artificially growing people and indoctrinating them for the sole purpose of serving.

When Lucas was making AOTC he intended for the stormtroopers to he the clones, which is why be had Jango bump his head on the door of his ship.
