Correct. The Clone Troopers were clones, which in the prequel movies is very clearly pointed out, but by the time of Episode IV: A New Hope the Empire had been recruiting from the general population. Much like most wars which drag on for a while, the elite forces end up having to let in new recruits to fill in gaps from those who were lost. These recruits might not have more than just some basic training, and when rebels then infiltrate weapons manufacturing plants and fiddle with the quality of the guns provided to these troops (IIRC mentioned in Andor if not elsewhere), it's no wonder the Storm Troopers had worse aim than the Clone Troopers.

It is just a concept right now. It has not yet delivered any live births.

Just as an aside; dogs have no hands. They have paws.

"That's no gun. Now, if you'd come at me with S-Mart's top of the line twelve-gauge, double-barreled Remington from the sporting goods department, that would be different. Made in Grand Rapids, Michigan, retailing for $109.95 with a walnut stock, cobalt-blue steel, and a hair trigger, it is the only gun I would carry. That's right... shop smart: shop S-Mart... YA GOT THAT?! Now I swear, the next one of you primates even thinks about aiming their pea shooter at me..." -- Ash

Aw, you poor widdle soul. Stating they are advocating "problematic political views" is just telling on yourself, isn't it?

So they're a loser, then? Gotcha.

Awesome, do I get a club card? Is there a badge? Do we have weekly or monthly meetings? ;)

Someone's existence is not to be debated. It's not an opinion to agree or disagree with. The frontend's creator needs to learn that lesson.

So just the usual stupidity then. Cool. Wish people could just act normal. Diversity is a natural thing and to deny it is insanity.

 

What'd I miss?

"You are director"?

I would choose Forest Whitaker as my assistant. He'll be a good ethics guy.

The others have all had their moments where ethics were entirely forgotten.
