In a 1979 issue of Starlog magazine, Lucas gave an interview in which he explained that Boba Fett was the originator of the Stormtrooper DNA, and that the clones of the clone wars had evolved into the Stormtroopers of the Imperial era. [This Starlog interview used to be available on the 'Net, but I can't find a link. Anyone?] Of course, the originator is now Jango and Boba is his "son", but the core idea was there in 1979. Lucas can hardly be accused of "catering to the fans" since he developed the idea before Fett had even been seen in ESB. Not that I am questioning your integrity, but I find that very, very, hard to believe. I would have to read it to believe it. If Lucas had this grand plan, why wasn't Boba given more exposure in the OT? Why weren't Stormtrooper's referred to as clones?
