OK, don't judge me on this, I pride myself on a wide vocabulary Wink

but I have a question;

Was "droid" a word before Star Wars? And for that matter, is it a word now, outside of SW?

(Just realised I'm the only one asking questions here Embarassed

)

I've seen the word 'droid' outside of Star Wars. I forget where though.

The word 'droid' was indeed coined by George Lucas, and has come to be used in other science fiction universes, as well as real world applications - however, it is based on the word 'android' which was around in science fiction long before Star Wars.

I have another question.
I was just wondering if anyone knows when the first stormtroopers appeared.
I've not been able to pinpoint that point in SW-time yet, maybe someone else has?
Was it right after the Empire was declared or did it take a few years? I'm curious about it and really want to know because of a RPG-campaign I'm currently writing.

According to the Coruscant Nights books and Order 66 and Imperial Commando, the change was almost immediate. Everything was overhauled, new networks were put in place, new heirarchy, etc. That includes new armour for the clone troopers, so I'd put the change in armour (and name) as less than a month after Order 66 (though there is lee-way to extend that gap up to about three months after).

On the subject of Stormtroopers, do we know when the last Jango Fett clone was killed and the Stormtroopers were recruits-only?

I believe Zahn has stated that they were a mix, so it's probably more of factoring how long they live and when the last batch would have died off. Couldn't tell you off hand.

That's always been in the movie. The sound effects of the guy hitting his head, and someone asking him if he's all right were even put in for the special editions. This bit is given an homage in Episode II when Jango bangs his head on the door of Slave I, as he lifts off from Kamino.
