Det finns ett antal källor för att Stormtroopers blir primärt rekryterade:

Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game: C-canon) berättar hur efter Slaget om Kamino , sågs kloner inte längre positivt. Men det är anmärkningsvärt att det står
cloned from a variety of templates
, vilket innebar att kloner fortfarande var kraftigt i bruk
The bounty hunter left after the battle was over, he said something about tracking down a smuggler on Tatooine. After the Kamino uprising, the Emperor decided that an army of genetically identical soldiers was too susceptible to corruption. Future troopers would be cloned from a variety of templates.

- Star Wars: Force Unleashed II (Video Game: C-canon) har några nämnder om skillnaden mellan kloner och rekryter, vilket noteras här . Mest synnerligen från en databank post:
Commander Cody, a first generation clone of Jango Fett and a veteran of the Clone Wars, found stormtrooper recruits to be absolutely intolerable.

Essential Atlas (? -canon) berättar hur
Due to the loss of Kamino and its cloning facilities, as well as many other cloning centers throughout the galaxy, clone stormtroopers became a rare commodity that the Empire could no longer afford to sustain.
Därför verkar det inte finnas några G-canon källor som jag har kunnat hitta, men det finns ett antal olika EU-källor, främst videospel och guider som ger stöd till rekryterande soldater.
