Yeah, that's it. Well, I did say I wasn't sure. Sure thought I read that somewhere back in the day, though. Maybe not.

What does this have to do with VIII?

The clone troopers were clones (clearly) sourced from Jango Fett, who had a tendency to bump his head (per the commentary for AOTC). A Stormtrooper on the Death Star bumped his head entering the control room, suggesting at least he was a clone of Jango. By ANH, if you observe the entirety of the EU and films, some Stormtroopers were still clones, though not all from the same template. Additionally, other Stormtroopers were not clones at all (I don't care what Dave Filoni says, that's my story and I'm sticking to it). That's as clear as I can make it.

The head bumping thing is one of THE most moronic tie-ins in the PT. Like bumping your head is genetic. How about stubbing your toe or sneezing? Absolute idiocy. The ANH head bump is because the actor couldn't see out of the damn helmet. To turn that into some clone back story tie in was beyond stupid.

Not a lot. I think I posted a detour a couple of pages back but it's kinda derailed. We're all waiting for Bryancd to post a link to the latest update:lol
As part of the Prequel Defense Force, I still have to agree with you. That was idiotic. Not only that, it's supposedly where the dent in the helmet came from...

Lucas said he put some things in his films to move the story forward, and some for pure whimsy. That's why the included the Jango head bump referencing the infamous ANH blooper, as a dopey little way of saying Stormtroopers are clones. Is that clear enough? Now let's get back to discussing Mary Jane, Emo Kid, and the Hermit.
Me too, i might have to get a Hasbro one if its big, just to chop it up for a project im working on, then again the guns do look silly big on it, so makes me wonder what else is wrong.
The flat grill in middle on Hasbro TIE:
is different from the TIE Disney released on the star wars channel. That one had two tube like structures on the top:
Im looking forward to a Bandai 1/72 :thumbsup
