Stormtroopers aren't massed produced. Clone troopers are, but Stormtroopers are just regular people in armor. So I'm sure some have some kind of control over the force.

I thought the Storm Troopers and Clone Troopers were the same thing, hence the similarities in the armour, and the fact the Clone Troopers were an intricate part to Palpy's plan to kill off the Jedi.

Yes, but eventually it became cheaper to just hire normal people and dress them up like clones than to keep making them. At least I think that's the reason.

I've always liked the idea of balance, so I'd try to be neutral with the force. Using lightning to charge batteries and force healing people just so I could re-hack their arms off with my light saber (a black light light saber for me thank you kindly)... If I had to chose a side though.. I'll just go off my experience with KotOR... Sith all the way and then some. Yay evil!

True enough. We never saw an actual Storm Trooper without his helmet, so I guess it's up in the air.
All though I guess recruiting regular people into the army would be more practical, as it was indicated a Clone Trooper has a short lifespan (accelerated growth and all).

The clone troopers were made because they were special trained commandos genetically engineered for combat.
The storm troopers couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with their blasters.

Clone troopers are not storm troopers.

Clearly the empire has suffered some attrition over the years, keeping in mind that it takes 10-15 years to produce new clone troopers the empire may well have had no choice but to recruit storm troopers.

Case dismissed.

While that's a very good point, and a likely scenario, it's not "case dismissed" until George Lucas himself says something about it one way or another ;D

So than the answer is yes...it is possible for storm troopers(not clone troopers...unless they're the same thing then this is a moot point) to possess the force...right?

to be honest even clone troopers could have the force as long as the person cloned had the force. but the original clone troopers of the 501st did not have the force unless your in my dreams.

They could always infuse medclorian (sp?) into the storm troopers, I think they do this in one of the star wars games to mass produce sith fighters. They had weak force power but weak is better then none.

Very true. George must have been doing Jäger Bombs when he came up with that character.

True, but wouldn't that violate the Sith's "rule of two" (or something like that)? I thought it was an unwritten Sith rule that only two Sith would exist at any one time, a master and an apprentice.
