If all the Jedi were cloned it could explain the confusion and keep the surprises about Vader and Anakin and also explain away some of the continuity errors in the PT as we saw it.

Maybe in the future when the technology picks up we could have multiple versions of the Jedi leading the clone troopers.

You can see why the EU obsessed about clone technology in the early days because like superweapons they are an unavoidable consequence of being introduced as a technology of that universe.

Unfortunately unavoidable consequence often leads to very boring stories.
