Well then I suppose I'm saying that the storm troopers were legitimate targets because they were military.
Also.. I think you are guilty of spinning the star wars movies just a little bit. The clones of Jango Fett were not mindless drones.. like say the Borg. Sure they might be "innocent" if you consider their lack of choice in the matter but remember.. they committed terrible acts and were self conscious.
Furthermore.. if they were like the Borg and mindless drones then you could attempt to justify their deaths that way.
I'll also add that it's debatable whether all the stormtroopers were clones. The protagonist in the game Dark Forces was once a storm trooper who became disillusioned with the Empire and he was recruited into the Imperial Academy. This series is considered canon.
