Ive said before on here, but i would love something like rogue one except from the imperial pov, straight up war movie with a company of storm troopers or something.

Oh GOD YES!
I googled Stormtrooper quotes and some of these are fucking great.
Stormtrooper #1: "I heard you got chewed out by the commander."
Stormtrooper #2: "I was making faces at him the whole time. These helmets are great!"
Stormtrooper #1: "You do that too? I thought I was the only one..."
Stormtrooper #2: "Look alert, officer approaching..."

Could also be interesting if they did something like this with Delta Squad.

This one tugs on my feels a bit.
"I've seen some impressive things as a Stormtrooper of the Empire. I've seen Star Destroyers tear apart a battlecruiser with just tractor beams. I've seen command ships so big they take three days to walk from end to end. I even saw Lord Vader once. But I think the greatest thing I ever saw was those squat little dropships, flying out of a binary sunset, loaded with reinforcements, ammunition, medical droids and food."

Seriously though, a movie or series from the Stormtrooper perspective would be marvelous.

It sounds interesting on paper, but I worry it'd just be yet another war series/film, just reskinned for the SW universe. I don't know I'd be particularly interested in that tbh.

Oh just an inside joke I and a group of friends have. We're not all that fond of Windu as character and we think the Jedi as a whole basically condoned slavery by leading the clone troopers during the war.

Perhaps the next time a joke for a broader audience would be more appropriate?

Oh okay

On that note does anyone else view the notion of a clone army instead of a real army made from the citizenry with distaste?

I always thought that was the point. For one thing, they had to expand upon the Clone Wars quote from the first film, and another it was to showcase how self absorbed the Republic had become, condoning slavery, slave armies, human euthanization, genetic modification, and child soldiers (at least one of which was illegal by Republic Law) simply because they needed to protect themselves right now.

Considering the context of that quote, does this mean op actually does love democracy?

He might have loved it at that moment, since it was working out for him.
