      Why didn't the jedi find that wierd ? I guess even if they were suspicious of the clones they had a war to worry about so they needed them. It just feels like a plot hole that they accepted the clones who came from a bounty hunter hired by a known sith lord.

    “Since the stormtroopers had a wide range of socialization, they were slightly more relatable to the human populations of their planets. Our role was to be an army of ready-made soldiers, trained and in some cases, nerve-stapled, and they are a sort of political police and army force. Also, the entire galaxy was desensitized to seeing hulking soldiers in clad white armor.

    I loved that during the Republic Commando novels, it showed the leaders ordering the clones to take off their helmets more in public to try and humanise them to the public. An excellent example of worldbuilding, not just figuring out a problem (the public would be afraid of faceless soldiers), but also implementing a solution (give the clones free time and money to go to local bars and restaurants to show the public that they are living beings). I was so sad when that series was retconned by 3D Clone Wars, I love the TV show but those novels were what got me into the Expanded Universe

      because this is a Legends lore channel; Clone Wars is Disney. Even before Disney bought LucasArts and Star Wars, Clone Wars changed the lore for younger audiences and modern viewers, which the Disney later built their lore around. The newer Clone Wars tv show fits more in Disney lore than EU lore, especially with EU using indoctrination and training as a basis for Order 66, as opposed to the Clone Wars show's and Disney's inhibitor chips.
      i hope that explains things for you. disney tried to do away with the moral ambiguity; another addition to it's list of sins. 79's bar is no different from the stupid inhibitor chip idea.

    - Stormtroopers were normal people, mostly, and the Empire had an iron grip on the media.

    Stormtroopers were just dudes doing their job. Keeping this in mind, they're the part of the Imperial military that respected Vader the most, a man who had no qualms bodying inept and corrupt officers, almost regardless of that officer's station outside the military. So there's a populist element involved I think. Beneath the helmets they're not too different from working Joe's.
    Clones were scary, the thinking power of sentients but the group solidarity comparable to battle droids. You could also never be in their group, ever. But recruits, they could be sons of neighbors or family. A lot more sociable I would think.

    Clones were also only really deployed to battle areas, so in the public's eye they left a trail of destruction behind them. Whereas the stormtroopers had no real battles to fight as there was no enemy apart from a small rebellion. So they would be seen as being more like peacekeepers. Furthermore, most of the people alive during the clone wars would've gone on to experience the rise of the empire as well and lots of them probably didn't even notice the difference, except for the fact that there was a huge trail of destruction or large scale battles.

    That's because most Stormies were regular people not brought up in a clone environment. They see the average Stormie, and they see who, exactly? They see Johnny down the street who signed up for the army. They see Timmy, all grown up and fulfilling his dream of serving on a spaceship. They see Jake from the neighborhood who's serving and protecting it. Meanwhile, the clones dont have that much of a connection to the populace, and they were trained to be so loyal they'd frag their own Jedi commanders if given the word. That's not someone whom the average person can trust. In comparison, they can trust the average Stormtrooper because they're the same as the civilians, only enlisted and paid by the state to patrol and keep safe society as a whole.

    Kinda looks like that stormtrooper on the cover is flirting with that alien lady

    Wow... Ryloth Resa is such a deep cut. The tiny Wookipedia page she has doesn't even mention this.

    I guess I can kinda see how citizens were a little more afraid of clone troopers than stormtroopers. Knowing that a friend or family member might be under that helment would put someone a bit more at ease.
