the internet blew up friday because there was a black stormtrooper in the new Star Wars trailer.....here is the truth from Wookiepedia At first, the Stormtrooper Corps was composed almost entirely of clone soldiers based on the Fett template. That included the remaining clones that were engineered on Kamino, supplemented by the millions of clones created on Coruscant and Centax-2 through Spaarti technology, and three new stormtrooper clone batches grown in the Outer Rim Territories. During this time, traces of the clones obsolete armor remained in the design of their new and improved armor. However, the stormtrooper ranks would cease to be dominated by Fetts progeny after the Battle of Kamino in 12 BBY. By the time the Galactic Civil War began in earnest, Jango Fetts clones were heavily supplanted by clones based on a variety of templates around 9 BBY,followed shortly after by enlisted Humans. Thus, the Fett clones were ironically reduced to a minority status after years of virtually filling the stormtrooper ranks in its entirety. According to a stormtroopers entry log in the 501st Journal, none of the Fett clones were ever truly able to come to terms with serving alongside recruits and different clones, all of whom were disdainfully dubbed as the new guys. Commander Cody, a first generation clone of Jango Fett and a veteran of the Clone Wars, found stormtrooper recruits to be absolutely intolerable. Due to the significant decrease in the Imperial Militarys operational effectiveness and his own feelings of nostalgia over the Republics army of one man, Cody viewed enlisted troopers as incompetent idiots, all of whom he would have gladly sacrificed for just one real clone trooper.
