Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Considering that Rebels is canon I'd say that it's official that, judging by the clip posted in the Rbels thread, Stormtroopers aren't clone, at least not all of them. The Stormies from Rebels all had different voices and none of them sounded like a clone, not a NZ accent to be heard amongst any of them.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
So not only has Simon Pegg been on set, Edgar Wright has been too (or at least had dinner with JJ).

correction/update: apparently Edgar and JJ were in LA - along with Daisy Ridley and John Boyega.
I still wish Edgar would direct a Star Wars film.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I doubt that. You can change or add certain things, but you still have to stick with what Lucas established as the rules of the SW universe. Otherwise lets say all Stormtroopers are hermaphroditic Gungans... Oh and Luke and Leia are not siblings now in Episode VII because JJ said so. Hey some guy in charge of it said so, so that overrules whatever Lucas came up with.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Good grief, Jason. Of course he wouldn't do any of those things as they actually appear in the film. No where on screen are Stormtroopers referred to as being clones. They will not be clones in Rebels, which precedes the OT. That's canon. You do the math.

The Jango/stormtrooper head bump thing implies that at least some of the stormtroopers are still clones by the time of the OT. If Filoni chooses to contradict that, well, whatever. Maybe, just by coincidence, all the troopers depicted in Rebels that happen to not to be clones.

You guys can't be serious about the friggin' head bump thing as evidence of being clones, are you? Really?
I suspect George was saying that tongue-in-cheek.

??????? It does?! Isn't more likely a flub and a little joke left in the film as opposed to sone far reaching plot point. What's the weather like in crazy town?

I can see it being an homage. If it's supposed to indicate that there's a biological imperative to bump your head, that's effing stupid. Not that I would put effing stupid past Lucas.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Unless I see it onscreen, I have to go with what's seen. I don't care about the television show(s) - they craft stuff for that and retcon stuff to fit around it (and almost always contradict it later anyway as the movies have precedence). Lucas surely indicated that at least some of the Troopers in ANH had lineage with Jango.
It's still GL's story - they're using his notes and his stories - if it's Lucas' intention that (some of) the Stormtroopers were clones at the time, then they still should be. Retconning it so Filoni can do his thing is just weak sauce.
