The Elite Squad consisted of highly skilled recruits, wearing modified Phase II clone trooper armor. Recruited human soldiers soon replaced the elite clone troopers, and the first generations of these Imperial minions are shown in The Bad Batch. Order 66 was successful, and the Empire supplanted the Republic with the Jedi all dead or in hiding.

The clones were ultimately good-natured beings who fought for what they believed to be democracy and freedom, but the tragedy of their creation is that their secret true purpose was to destroy the Republic and the Jedi. Despite their programming, Star Wars' clones had free will, expressing varying personalities and forming friendships with each other and the Jedi. The clones were raised and trained from birth to be among the most skilled soldiers in galactic history, an endeavor that the Clone Wars proved to be successful. These recruits were initially called “TK troopers,” but were soon renamed “stormtroopers.” Stormtroopers were a common sight throughout the reign of the Empire, carrying out the will of the Emperor and brutally oppressing the people of the galaxy with no remorse, tainting the valiant legacy of the clone troopers.Ĭlone troopers were grown from the template of Jango Fett, a Mandalorian foundling and the galaxy’s deadliest bounty hunter at the time. As shown in The Bad Batch, the Empire quickly ended clone production and replaced the elite soldiers with recruits, trading efficiency for loyalty. Clone troopers fought heroically alongside the Jedi during the Clone Wars, but became brainwashed pawns of the Empire after Palpatine’s fascist coup putrefied the Galactic Republic into a dictatorship. Star Wars: The Bad Batch has introduced the first iteration of Imperial stormtroopers, the Empire’s recruited soldiers in the Star Wars original trilogy and the successors to the Republic’s clone troopers.
