Spin it back on to Star Trek; why is Data such a marvel in the 24th century when Kirk met more human like androids in 23rd?

Order 66 itself wasn't built in genetically; genetics doesn't work that way. The clones were genetically modified in some way which made them more docile and less independent overall, so that they would be more likely to follow orders unquestioningly.

^ You know what I meant, and you yourself just said that they were modified genetically which was kind of my point in the first place. There was no need for force control.

I always took Order 66 to mean something else. I took it as the clones being "programmed," or brainwashed, or whatever, into being loyal to Palpatine ultimately, not the Jedi. As long as Palpatine orders them to obey the Jedi, the follow Jedi orders. When he orders them to attack the Jedi, they do so.
I never took it as some kind of genetic Easter Egg or some kind of way to make them docile.

The scene is implying that they were already "programmed" to betray the Jedi and obey the Emperor's commands. They were always meant to be the proto-Stormtroopers.

Which is made quite obvious by the inclusion of the Imperial March in AOTC.
Yes - they obey the Chancellor's commands because they are conditioned to follow legitimate orders from the Republic chain of command, and the Chancellor is at the top of that chain.

No droids? Off the top of my head:
In Stars Wars (I refuse to call it Ep 4), the Jawas' sandcrawler was full of droids. That little thing on the death star that Chewbacca growled at was a droid. At the end of Empire, Luke is put in a healing tank under the care of medical droid. Earlier in the film one of the admirals mentions thousands of probe droids searching for the rebels. In Return of the Jedi, Jabba actually has a droid torture room.

Maybe he meant the Battle droids?
There's IG-88 in ESB, who in both "Clone Wars" series we learn his model dates from that era... (Ovverding the old EU story about him being created by the Empire).
Going by extra-movie sources:
The game "Dark Forces" as well as some other video games featured the Darktroopers, who were sort of battle droid/Stormtroopers.
Also during the NJO the Republic starts using the Hunters, although they look more like Terminators than the more inhuman TF droids.

Not to mention that three-legged trash can and a protocol droid that I saw a few times. I think they were called Arty Deco and Goldenrod. Or something.

Set Harth, I forgot about that scene where Lama Su talks about the genetic modifications, probably because I hate the prequels.
As do I. But I just call it A New Hope.

Fuck that. It's "Star Wars."

The Empire was prejudiced against aliens, so this probably extended to anti-droid as well. They'd only use droids when absolutely necessary, such as the Probots.

but the stormtroopers weren't clones?
why did he switch to normal men if the clones were so effective?

^ Who says the Empire still isn't using clones in the OT? There's also the possibility to consider that the Empire started holding recruiting drives. Just because there are "programmed" clones doesn't mean that regular troops can't be conditioned with Imperial propaganda and all that.
