* '''They weren't properly trained.''' They're [[{{Mooks}} disposable soldiers]]; why bother spending time training them? Many ''Star Wars'' sources further state that there was a progression from the professional Kamino clones seen in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' to the Stormtroopers we see in ''A New Hope'', which are Spaarti clones and not the same. They're much cheaper and faster to grow than Kamino clones, but they also have no innate training and are given only the most basic instruction to compensate, which probably doesn't include how to aim a blaster correctly. And they also probably got mixed in with conscripts and clones from people who are not badass BountyHunter Jango Fett. In the 30-odd year span between these two films, a lot of Kamino clones probably got killed and needed to be replaced; ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront2'' explained that many of them were stationed on the first Death Star when it blew up. This extends to the droids, too; the battle droids seen in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' were part of the Trade Federation's [[ZergRush quantity over quality]] battle strategy, and accordingly, their aim was so terrible that they were more or less comic relief.
