Is Stormtrooper a Clone?
When I first watch the movie in 1977, I thought these Stormtroopers are Robots in Armor. Even Darth Vader is a robot.
I have heard a lot of arguments from Star Wars fans that Stormtroopers are not Clone. But in the movie, you have never seen a Stormtrooper without helmet. And the way they react is quite like the Clonetroopers. I want to know whether George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars ever mentioned that Stormtroopers are not Clonetroopers.

SOME stormtroopers are thought to be clones, while the greatest bulk of the Imperial legions are ordinary men.
The first batches of clones had a short lifespan, and the Emperor decided to create his own clones based on different templates (most very loyal and good officers). But cloning takes time, that's why they also decided to open up for ordinary recruits. That's why you also have different heights on the troopers.
The 501st, however, is supposed to still be made up by clones only. And rumors has it that Vader himself selects which templates the clones are made from.

I realised after Lucas gave licenses widely to authors of novels and comic books, there have been lots of conflicts between Lucas ideas and ideas of novelists. For example, before the prequels, we have no idea that Jedi are not suppose to get married. There are stories of Jedi with family before the prequel and later they add reasons like Jedi from certain clan can get married. So, I think I will still stick to Lucas words. Anyway he is still the creator of Star Wars.
Well, found the answer as to where I've read it .

As with the 501st Legion, the clone shock troopers were tasked with protecting Coruscant, and answered directly to the Supreme Chancellor. Prior to the rise of the Galactic Empire, the clone shock troopers were the first armed force to be dubbed as "stormtroopers." This nickname would immediately become a title for all clone troopers upon the Republic's transformation into the Empire
