The Emperor decided it was just as easy at that point to get ordinary people to serve resulting in no need for expensive cloning facilities that could be destroyed.

Think of it like a toy mold, the more you use it eventually flaws begin to pop up until it's no good.ģ. It was mentioned somewhere that eventually the original samples began to decay with continued use until the final product provided inferior products. Many of the clone growing facilities were destroyed during the war, they were obvious targets and many in the end including the ones on Genosha fell.Ģ. For example, the reason the Stormtroopers didn't hit Luke or anyone else during their escape from the Death Star in ANH is that Vader and Tarkin wanted the group to escape so that they'd lead them back to the rebel base, as is stated in the movie.įrom what I know they stopped for three reasons.ġ. A lot of people's favorite examples of Stormtrooper shittiness have very simple explanations as well. The Stormtroopers are no worse than any other army of evil minions going up against heroes with plot armor. The best in-universe explanation I can give is that the Empire was able to recruit more people (either through willing recruits or the political capital to get away with instituting a draft) during and after the Clone Wars then they were at the beginning of them, when people were very used to peace.Īlso, I know the Internet loves the whole "lol Stormtroopers can't shoot for shit" meme, but it really needs to die.

If he did, it certainly wasn't what we ended up seeing in the prequels. There's no indication that George Lucas had much idea of what "the Clone Wars' were when he wrote a mention of them into the script of the original movie.
