>the idea that the Stormtroopers are somewhat descended from clones undermines half the grievences with the Empire

So far as I can tell, the only grievances with the Empire that are portrayed in the films (not counting EU for a second, because that was mostly produced after the release of the films by people who were essentially interpreting George's work using cliff notes he provided for them) are

>general authoritarianism
>general untrustworthiness ("I have altered the deal, pray I don't alter it any further")
>state-sanctioned murder (slaughter of the Lars homestead)
>oppression of non-human races (massacre of the Jawas, derogatorily referring to Chewbacca as a "thing")
>genocide (destruction of Alderaan)

At no point, does the Empire's recruitment of Stormtroopers (be they clones, conscripts, or volunteers) come in as a factor.
