Imperial Stormtroopers
Imperial Stormtroopers were the shock troops of the Galactic Empire. As part of the Imperial army, the Stormtroopers were the successors to the Clone Troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic founded at the onset of the Clone Wars. Although many Stormtroopers originated from genetically cloned stock, many more were regular human beings who graduated from the Imperial Academy on Carida.

"Genetic Birth Defect"
There is a famous blooper from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope wherein a stormtrooper hits his head on a low doorway frame. The scene occurs on the Death Star when a group of Stormtroopers enter the computer operations room where C-3PO and R2-D2 are hiding. Coincadentally, a similar scene occurs in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Following Jango Fett's fight against Obi-Wan Kenobi on Kamino, Jango can be seen hitting his helmet on a bulkhead as walks up the boarding ramp to his ship. On the DVD audio commentary, director George Lucas offers the explanation that Jango's head injury perpetuated a genetic birth defect that was passed on the other clones, which is why the Stormtrooper in A New Hope hits his head. Although the comment came from George Lucas, it was said in jest and does not in any way apply to the official Star Wars canon.
