In the end, that is what they amounted to.
I think it's important for the cyclical storytelling of Lucas' six part arc that the Clone Troopers, proto-Stormtroopers that they are, representative of what would go on to be one of the most distinct faces of evil in the Original Trilogy, begin life on the side of "good" in the war that Palpatine is manipulating/orchestrating into existence. Much like how we see the sleek visuals of the Prequel trilogy slowly give way to the design language of the Original Trilogy over the course of the narrative, we also see familiar forms "invert" from where they once stood from one side of the conflict to the other as a way to make us really look at and question good the two sides of the coin that led to the rise of the Empire.

I just find the execution on the whole a bit f**king toothless.

It should have remained a line in ANH. Why we must take every line like "kissel run" and depict it I'll never understand.
