    Concerning your conversation about the clones in starwars. The console game Starwars Battle Front 2 has a really nice story narrated by a (jango)clone in the 501. Yes the 501. Any how, the narrator talks about conflictions some of the clones had about killing the jedi. How the production of clones stopped because the Kamino cloners switched sides and Imperial clones had to engage in fire fights with younger clones, and how that psychologically scarred many of them. The enlistment of non-clone persons as the clone population slowly depleted, and how the clones saw them as inferior. And lastly how a deployment to a planet spared the last small band of 501(clones) from the first deathstars destruction.

    So the quick answer is -Most storm troopers (movies 4-6) are not clones but there are handfuls of bad-ass war-scarred Jango-clones still around.

    Perfect timing; noticed this just before my long commute to work. Looking forward to the listener question, which I will acknowledge now was horribly overwritten.

    I forget the title but in one of the books (or was it a comic?) isn't there something about the Empire banning cloning after the Clone Wars but the Emperor still have one machine to make new bodies for himself?

    Anyway you slice it I guess unless it's explained in the movies it's all EU and not cannon.

    I do like the idea of clones being out of the mix but New Hope.

    I remember reading a book where a small group of clone questioned the order to kill their Jedi, they were branded traitors. Most of the younger clones did everything without question, only the older and more experienced ones had free will.

    Also remember that clones age at double speed, so by the Return of the Jedi, most would be old men or dead of old age anyways.

    Okay, of the two I've sent in that was not the listener question I expected to hear. Better of the two, though, so yay for that. Thanks for answering it.

    Everyone's okay; my mom slipped and fell on some ice, but everything turned out fine. Sprained, but fine.

    Computer Warriors doesn't sound familiar, but the transforming Pepsi can thing does ring a very vague and distant bell. Mostly just made me think of another obscure toyline, though, which was apparently Galoob's Army Gear line.

    I REMEMBER COMPUTER WARRIORS! Thank you so much, I never saw the cartoon. I had the transforming Pepsi can and one of those flying microchips. Thanks for the memories, lets just hope the bad ones don't come back.

    Yeah, I remembered that while I was writing the question. Then I hit myself in the head repeatedly until I forgot it again. Good times.

    Yep. I think it was dark horse comics. Palpatine had a 'collection' of 'spoils of war'. Among them was several clone pods, which his ghost makes it's way to and we get Palpatine returning as a Teenager. Then he dies again and tries to possess Anakin Solo(Leia & Hans youngest son).

    If you're heavily into starwars, the book: StarWars the Essential Chronology is really interesting. Any and all media from past to about 2006 is included and chronicled in a coherent record. It reads like a history book from your school days. If Any one has a deep interest in StarWars lore I would recommend it. If Anyone is interested you should be able to find this book at your local library. That's where I first found it. I ended up buying it.
