I always thought that by the time of A New Hope the Empire was using conscripted armed forces ( In the ANH radio drama Luke was applying to the Imperial Academy) , and that the use of Clones ended back in the days of the clone wars, I doubt they could constantly churn out Jango clones forever, and the clones from AOTC would only have a limited shelf life, what happens to Clones when they are too old to fight? Old Clones Home? and surely all the Imperial officers in the original trilogy rose up through the ranks of Troops and none of them look like Jango Fett.
I think this will probably be explained in episode 3
"Aren't you alittle short for a stormtrooper" because there all the same.
Lucas stated in the commentary for Attack of the Clones that the stormtroopers are clones of Jango. In the movies they appeared to follow orders without any humanity and had no fear of death. You can't train that. There genetically born that way. If they are not clones then why are they all human. Why not have a variety of races recuitted.
