  How do you know they’re male?

    Good chance of it considering the original standing army were all clones of Jango Fett.

      How can we be sure all the clones were male? Maybe the facilities Ben visited on Kamino just happened to be a men’s barracks/mess.

        Current and past media seem to say so, although I’m not sure if it’s stated in canon one way or the other. I don’t doubt the possibility but it seems unlikely. It also seems more logical to have a male army where in most species are typically physically stronger than females.

        By the time Lucas is done, the Imperial Army will probably all be Jar Jar clones dancing the can-can.

  it was TK-421 who was not at his post, and it was because Luke killed him and stole his suit.

Reminds me of the mini-RoboCop post from a few months back.

I own a suit and I can verify that picture #2 is nearly impossible, unless you’re extremely coordinated and a good skipper.
