Clone & Storm troopers

[Kraven]

In your opinion, in EP III we will see the Clonetroopers to officially become Stormtroopers? Or it is an event that will be taken place between EP III and ANH?
IMHO the clones will not be infinites, because the Empire will recruit normal soldiers to join them to that more powerful(the clones exactly).

Ignore the books.

Watch the films.

Lucas makes it quite obvious that the stormtrooper armor is the natual evolution of the clonetrooper armor. Heck, the term clonetrooper is never even used in AOTC.

Stormtroopers are clones.

Not in the movie, but it is in the script.

Above, six Gunships are descending fast through the open area in the arena ceiling. They land in a cluster around the handful of JEDI. CLONE TROOPERS spill out and start firing at the DROIDS. There is a hellstorm of laserfire that bounces off the laser shields created by the Gunships. YODA appears at the door of one of the Gunships.

Yeah, clonetroopers = stormtroopers and vice versa. Lucas confirms this himself in the AOTC commentary.

Evidently i'm not expressed good.I know perfectly that the clones are storm and that Palpatine some will order to a sure point of the film to they rivoltar against the jedi.I asked if they could come already call storm in ep3 or after.

[Ziggy]

And my point is that in AOTC they're not named anything at all.

I'm not talking about stage direction, but an actual character saying the term clonetrooper aloud.

Whose to say barring EU sources that they are not already called stormtroopers ?

It seems moot anyway, it's obvious what they are.

[SI]

they may be referred to as Stormtroopers in EPIII. I doubt the word "clonetrooper" will ever be spoken.

[BOBAFETISH]

I think they have to be called stormtroopers in 3, because that's the name Obi knows them by in ANH...and if he's a hermit, he wouldn't hear new stuff on Tatooine.

Maybe it'll be part of a Palpy speech or something, maybe it's even a title hint... The Storm Unleashed or something....Palpy could go all propoganda, telling the people that his "Stormtroopers" will wash away all the problems of the Republic. Or not.

[Forcechoke]

Or when Mace confronts Palpy about something, he could mention them by name.
