George Lucas' original plan for the stormtroopers has been abandoned by Star Wars canon, diminishing a funny gag.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT George Lucas' stormtrooper clone vision has been ignored by Star Wars canon. When the Grand Army of the Republic was revealed to be clones of bounty hunter Jango Fett in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, many assumed the soldiers transitioned into stormtroopers for the Empire.
In behind the scenes commentary for Attack of the Clones shared via Connor on YouTube, Lucas explains that Jango bumping his head was meant to be a trait inherited by his clones. "Throughout, as we go through the movie, there's all little funny moments, like Jango bumping his head, because in Star Wars, one of the stormtroopers bumps his head on the door as they leave the control room on the Death Star. And I thought, wouldn't it be funny if that's a trait that Jango has. When he puts his helmet on and everything, he can't really see that well and he's constantly bumping his head.
Jango bumping his head is a small gag barely noticeable in the film, but it comes with significant thought and meaning. Not only was the stormtrooper who bumped his on the Death Star a clone, but in Lucas' mind, all stormtroopers were clones who inherited Jango's silly trait.Canon Stormtroopers Are Entirely Commissioned Unlike Lucas' plan, all stormtroopers in Star Wars canon are commissioned recruits.
Star Wars has abandoned many of Lucas' concepts, but the transition from clones to stormtroopers is an improvement. While Lucas' attention to detail for a small joke is incredible, the Stormtrooper Corps being the remnant of Jango Fett's clones would diminish the skills of the Republic soldiers. A more compelling story has been crafted by Star Wars through The Bad Batch, which furthers the tragedy of the clones' existence and reinforces the threat posed by the stormtroopers.
