On the thinking that stormtroopers aren't the clones of the Clone Wars here are a couple ideas i came up with today. if someone has already posted something like this i didn't see it and sorry.

The first has to do with something i saw about Gabriel Byrne. it said his role was as a Jedi who ass ists Obi and Bail in the Clone wars against the mandalorian and the Sith. and i thought i haven't heard anywhere where the Republic--- which includes the Jedi--- fight clones. it says they fight the mandilorians. S o i got 2 ideas about the nature of the wars.

1. What if the republic used clones to fight the mandilorians. all i know is that it was called the clone wars and the jedi were involved. palpi probly had this cloning technology and the introduction of the mandilorians gave him a chance to use it.

2. or what if the mandilorians are clones or use cloning. that would make them a pretty fierce enemy. and the republic uses jedi and regular normal armies to fight against them.

I like these ideas because they don't make all the bad things in the universe stem from the sith, not that the sith can't get involved, but it would help the story. sure palpi is powerful, but it seem s hard to believe he could take control of another major group like the mandilorians, as he did with the trade federation. plus by these things happening with out him designing them he can stand back and pick his spots. " hey these mandolorians are tough you need to make me a supreme ruler over all of you. ", says Palpytine. " man i love these mandilorians.", says Sidious (Source: Zeb}
