Where do Stormtroopers come from?
So in the Star Wars universe, Jango Fett is killed. Because he is the source of the genetic material for the clones, they would need to find a new source. However, after the clones kill off the Jedi and the Empire rises to power, there seems to be no lack of Stormtroopers, whom I am assuming are just mainly ex-Clone troopers.
Because all of the Stormtroopers are humanoid, the empire could not just be using any alien species they find. Are they using cloning still? Or are they just recruiting? And if they are cloning, whose genetic material are they using?

Answer 2
Luke wanted to "join the Imperial academy" So they were obviously hiring and training TIE-pilots at least. Most navy officers are promoted from the ranks of the enlisted. You have to fly a TIE-fighter without crashing before someone will trust you with a Star-Destroyer. None of the Admirals Vader force-choked looked much like Jango.
There were also rumors of Solo once being a stormtrooper, but not caring for the politics, esp over the treatment of wookies, which led to him "freeing the slaves" in a self-started rebellion. This story also explains Chewie's dedication to Han. I believe I heard that one of the MANY side stories published covers this part of his history (although not a part of official cannon).
Han's knowledge of "imperial protocol" for dumping garbage before jumping to hyperspace could have been gained from a previous accidental sighting, but this was another possible source of the rumor.
