SPOILER

I feel like Ahsoka *has* to know that Vader is Anakin. She may not want to believe it, but I feel like deep down in her heart she *knows*. She told the Rebels it was nothing, but why else would she scream, "Nooooooo!!" and then faint? She has to know!! LOL

@Apprentice. I'm pretty sure she knows, just doesn't want to tell the others. The two have an eternal Force bond, after all.

@ElmoSTM I know there's a spoiler tab, but I'm using the Tapatalk app and it doesn't seem to have that feature. I also can't post photos or view signatures from the app either. :( But it's the easiest way for me to read and participate in the forum. That why I posted SPOILER above my paragraph. Sorry if it spoiled anything for you, but it was the best I could do. ;)

@fdanielix Ooh, what's an "eternal Force bond"? Is it something that Jedi masters and padiwans have, or is it like a special BFF thing?

I have a question about the Star Wars universe. I apologize if this is a "dumb" question, but I don't know all of the ins and outs of the story. This question contains spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the Star Wars movies.
Q: In Episode II we were introduced to the Clone Troopers (supposedly meant for the Senate but really for use by the Dark Side, if I remember right). Then there was The Clone Wars series, which I didn't watch. In Episode III, I can't remember if the troopers were evil yet or not. In the Rebels TV show, they are now called Stormtroopers, are all on the side of the Empire, and do not seem to be clones. The same continues for Episodes IV, V, VI. My question is, at what point did they go from being called Clone Troopers to Stormtroopers (and all of those other ranks I can't remember), and in the timeline of Rebels/Episodes IV-V-VI, were they still clones, clones and volunteers, or simply volunteers?

They stopped using clones sometime around the birth of the Empire, then they started recruiting people as shown in the Rebels episode "Breaking Ranks" when Ezra pretends he's training to be a stormtrooper.

During the end of episode III the Order 66 was issued and that activated the chips inside the clone's heads. Because of this they started to serve the Empire.

However, during the following war their number started to rapidly fall, there wasn't a big number of they anyway by then, and simply they were to costly to produce.
As many mercenaries and civilians aligned with the Empire some actually volunteered for service, hopes of power also helped, and this kind of is the point were they became Stormtroopers. Even latter, women also started to be accepted to service.

It's more or less this. If anyone has better knowledge please correct me.
