About the "stormtroopers are clones" thing, did anyone here ever played the game Tie-Fighter? I had a friend that owned that game, and I remember reading some sort of fic that came with the game, in which two friends join the imperial army, one of them wants to fly tie-fighters, another one chooses to be a STORMTROOPER. But hey, this is George "plot holes" Lucas we're talking about.
