So I learned from the new series that clone troopers eventually evolve into the stormtroopers of the Empire.

If so, does that mean that every stormtrooper is a full blown Mandalorian?

If so, doesn't that kind of detract from the sensation of ferocity that Mandalorians generally carry? Aren't Mandalorians supposed to be badass in battle?

Like Boba Fett or Canderous Ordo, they were straight up badass. They could even kill higher level Jedi and Boba Fett manages to shoot Vader in the head, revealed in EU content.

So, if Mandalorians are naturally inclined towards battle, why are stormtroopers such suck, or was the DNA altered with human DNA or something?

I think in Ep II it explained they were genetically altered to be more obiedient. That might also have, for some reason, caused them to be kinda dumb and have bad aim with their weapons...but I dunno

I guess that makes sense, because Mandalorians don't usually play by anyone's rules, which is why they, you know, slaughter completely defenseless planets and act as bounty hunters and guns for hire.

I do believe all the stormtroopers are regular humans from what I've read and seen.

If so, does that mean that every stormtrooper is a full blown Mandalorian? Every clone trooper, yes. Stormtrooper? It's a mix.

If so, doesn't that kind of detract from the sensation of ferocity that Mandalorians generally carry? Aren't Mandalorians supposed to be badass in battle? The reason for the stormtroopers' decrease in badassary in battle was due to Kamino revolting, which led the empire to rely on other humans for cloning.

Like Boba Fett or Canderous Ordo, they were straight up badass. They could even kill higher level Jedi and Boba Fett manages to shoot Vader in the head, revealed in EU content.

So, if Mandalorians are naturally inclined towards battle, why are stormtroopers such suck, or was the DNA altered with human DNA or something?

This is what I currently remember so I'm most likely wrong. Also, it's Hollywood. They always make the henchmen stupid and clumsy.

Stormtroopers are based on the dna of Jango Fett, not Boba. Jango didn't do to well against the jedi if I remember. Boba Fett and Jango aren't mandalorians by the way. That is a common misunderstanding that people have.

Isn't his(Jango and Boba Fett's) armor Mandalorian? I always thought they were Mandalorians.

Ok, here it is. The stormtroopers are clones of Jango Fett. Jango was raised by Mandalorians but not one himself. The clone troopers slowly become the stormtroopers of the empire. As they evolve into stormtroopers, the clones are phased out and replaced with normal humans. (The empire discriminates agains aliens)

Actually, in Star Wars Battlefront , the narrator reveals that when Vader and the Emperor took over, they destroyed the Kamino facility because they were breeding clones for the purpose of overthrowing the Empire, after they couldnt make more clones, they just recruited regular guys. The only pure clone legion was the 501st Legion that was directly under the command of Darth Vader.

After the Clone Wars ended and the Empire conquered the galaxy they began hiring people. The non-Clone people usually become officers for their ability to think better and be more distictive.

Nah. After the Empire would conquer a planet/system, they would subjugate the inhabitants. All humanoid males of proper age were sent to "boot camp" for service in the Imperial Army. Most others would be sent to labor camps or spice mines. Sheesh. I thought everyone knew that.

at least one of them does, indeed.
