Hey, hey, I thought Phase II armor was weaker than Phase I armor, which is why Captain Rex welded his Phase I armor and his Phase II armor together.

[@thalmoragent9344]

The Phase 3 could've been kept around for the Clones under the Empire, whereas the regular Stormtrooper look we all know of could've been for the enlisted conscripts only.

@louiz2023 Thats why the EU pre disney is better. The Empire kept the clones around, it wasnt until after the Kamino uprising that the Emperor started recutting from normal people and other clone sources.

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

Phase II armour was just more anatomical and lighter than Phase I, not stronger. It was easier to wear. That is why Rex chose to weld the old Phase I plates into the new Phase II armour he wore from a certain point in time onwards. He also continued to use a rangefinder on a stalk on his Phase II helmet. Most likely because that old targeting system was in some was better than the new one.

[@cycy287]

Not necessarily, it's been said in multiple Star Wars encyclopedias and the old Visual Dictionaries that the Phase 2 was not only more comfortable but also more protective against ballistic/shrapnel and a little more blast/heat resistence. As for Rex merging his helmet, that was the stupidest thing. It's also been said several times (at least in the EU) that the visor on Phase 1 was so difficult to see out of - it would cut their view in half right at the lower part of the sclera. That's why it was a lot easier to see through Phase 2. Rex was kinda dumb for doing that but I guess he wanted to "honor his Mando heritage". Aside from the elegant look (personally I do prefer Phase 1 over Phase 2), Phase 2 it is a complete step up in every way.

[@cycy287]

@@Aguythatlovescentaura There's barely any screen time of clones in episode 2 so I'm not sure what you are talking about them getting shot three times and surviving. If you want to go down that route, you can argue the Super Battle Droids blasters got more powerful.

[@cycy287]

@SandraOrtmann1976 "In addition to providing its wearer with better vision, the armor plates were lighter and stronger than that of Phase I" From the actual encyclopedias that George Lucas (or at least LucasArts) released. Phase 1 was shit

phase 3 was mostly experimental and was used when human soldiers started getting introduced into the early army of the empire but there was a clone arf armor varient that resembled this very closely

[@snakerooni]

Filoni likes to pay homage to Ralph McQuarrie. That's why the TK troopers look like that and also Vader design in Rebels also came from McQuarries concept art as also did Zeb's species which was the original concept art for the Wookies. The lightsabers being so thin and Ahsoka's purified cristals being white also was taken from the concept art of the original Star Wars movie. Knowing those details help to appreciate the design choices by Filoni.

Phase 1 helmet, phase 2 armor. This only goes for a basic white though

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

In the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, The Visual Dictionary, it states that on worlds other than Kamino they're growimg clones from other templates. So you could have different looking clones. Maybe female as well. It's funny how in Attack of the Clones a different actor portrays the Clones in their red romper suits when they're in the mess hall. It's explained in AOTC vis dictionary that " accelerated growth, shapes the clone face slightly differently from the clone source. Yet Cody looks just like Jango, and in the Clone Wars series, they all look like Jango. As for the armour. Aside fromel the obvious changes to the helmets. The Phase 1 & 2 body armour on the standard trooper looks the same. So I don't see how it's more comfortable to sit, run etc.

[@iycephoenixx4249]

I always assumed it's because they're a slightly younger clone, not full adults yet, therefore a different face to show youth.

[@bryanleslie2617]

It’s because it’s a younger clone, you also see it during episode 3 when obi wan and the 212th are briefing on the venator before he goes to utapa

[@curzon9619]

We already have the answer to that question. It was the Spaarti Clones featured in the Thrawn trilogy.

Krome's TFU Phase III Clone Stormtrooper armor is far better than the Lucasarts version. Lucasarts: - Standard Stormtrooper armor with standard Stormtrooper helmet combined with PII helmet cheeks and connected visor.

What you are seeing is the Clone armors becoming more cheaper and slowly transform from Armored to Environmental suit by Era. The Purpose of the Clones in general, their weapons, their equipment and armor was, to literally bankrupt the Galactic Republic for how expensive they are. The Clones armored despite their ineffectiveness against the Droids Blasters which are either so powerful, they broke after a few battles (but are so cheap to replace) or they can't be equips by flesh and blood soldiers, because it's would melt their skin off. The Republic or rather Palpatine forces down any suggestion to replaces the Clone Tactics with more mobiles infantry since the armors were, quite obvious, bulky, and isn't suits for the styles of combat where most Infantry engage in. Phase 1 and 2 are for combat, the latter became less armor and lighter, more adaptive to changing location. The Clone are mobiles while the majority of the CIS army are slows simple formation walking units, better to get to good positions and dwindle the droids numbers than trying to compete in who armors last longer. Phase 3 was different, it's took Phase 2, make it's slightly lighter, but modified the gears to serves as partial Environmental suits, for occupation in different types of planets, plus it is now cheaper, less armor with the package. Stormtroopers armor, are, however quite inexpensive, compare to the Clone Phase 1 and 2. However, they are more or less equally as expensive, because of the sizes of the Empire Stormtroopers army. It was massive, in Legend, it is said that the Clone army are 6 millions, while the Empire Stormtroopers core alone are around 200 millions. This isn't some Elite forces, these are forces for Occupations, numbers so larges, they can occupied anywhere. The goals had change, Now, it isn't for wars, the Stormtroopers armor are good enough at reducing the damages of light to medium blaster to some degree, in exchange, it is an outstanding Environmental suits (for it's prices) in most conditions that would kills a soldiers without it. The Helmet, the strongest parts of the packages came with Optics that allows soldier to see through smokes, Debre and obstacle messing with the lights (Clone Armor mostly can't do that, premium model doesn't count). But the main purpose, was not for combat, it was to be ready, easily modified to fit any environment, in massive quantities, readily replaceable as the soldiers whom wore it. It was the Armor of a Colonial Occupational Forces, good enough to do the jobs, backing by sheer numbers of endless faceless skulls, emotionlessly abide the bidding of their emperor, aids the colonial process of the Galaxy. The Stormtrooper cores, directly participate in the population cleanse of many planets, forces the survivors into concentrations camps, where they are slaves to producing for the Empire, both for the army, and civilians Item, with no worker rights, no pays, and no freedom. But since H&M are doing it, Sweden get cheap clothing, so the populations of the Imperial Cores are cools with Slavery. As for these planets themselves, they are splits and sold to the wealthiest Elite or the Core worlds. If any of these sound like what Great Britain did to all it's colonies, that is because this is the most prominent parts of Colonialism and Imperial Expansion.

[@skinnyj123]

I prefer how uniform phase 1 looks but at the same time I do like the variety that comes with phase 2

[@ysoserious8526]

I like the 1.5 armor most. Blitz, Havoc and Colt were Badasse and they looked badass in this armor. Tho it is really cool that 2 of them died by defending their home planet Kamino it still sucks that we never saw them again after this episode.

[@snowrider6669]

2:33 I never understood how the Kaminoans didn’t human anatomy. So they had the technology to create an army of clones and advanced cities but not a machine that can measure a clone’s body to create a suit of armor that fits properly

[@Bandecozz]

Also you forgot to mention the phase 1 armor gave more protection against blasters and kinetic force, though the phase 2 did not offer more guarded plating since it was slimmer and lighter but was more efficient for human anatomy, but the phase 1 still gave more protection against blasters.

Are Stormtroopers clones? Or are stormtroopers mainly just regular humans? Like was there a transition that occurred that there was clones but then the empire didn’t want clones anymore? Thanks!!

[@Scout819]

Pretty much, yeah(the last one). Basically, the Empire stopped using clones and went to traditional recruitment. A lot of clones ended up training those recruits

[@Kvngsoldier]

Ima break this down differently Phase one armor was uncomfortable because Kaminowans didn’t know much about human anatomy or didn’t understand it well so they made clunky uncomfortable armor but it had good visibility. Whereas phase 2 armor was made by the Jedi for the clones so they could customize their gear while also being comfortable and breathable in the heat of battle, but the helmets had worse visibility. “Phase 3” wouldn’t be the empire, but would actually be the stage where some clones would take the phase 1-2 armor and combine the helmets to make the ultimate armor in battle. The colors I don’t know much about, but I always thought the color was meant to reflect the Jedi they were used to following.

[@marshalllatta2073]

I love clone trooper armor My favorite clone trooper is phase 1 phase 2 and phase 3 stormtrooper armor and TK troopers

[@Lily_Hasson666]

Purple because it means you have a light and dark side. Red is the dark and blue is one of the light side colors

[@hansb123]

The TK in TK Troopers is for Team Kill

[@tk-6967]

9:09 This is plainly unloreful. Rex expresses disdain for the new armour, but he doesn't actually prove it is bad and he claims that the armour is too tight when the issue is clearly that he has put on weight, not the armour. Not only that, but you even mentioned earlier that he preferred Phase 1 over Phase 2 even though the vast majority of clones disagreed with that, so it is clear his opinion really isn't worth much. Wookiepedia clearly states that these are simply their opinions, not that they are somehow correct opinions. Besides, Kanan had never worn battle armour before, so him being a clone war veteran was equally worthless.

[@Chisszaru]

I can understand Rex and Caleb(Kanan) and later Luke in A New Hope. I do have a Stormtrooper helmet, and it's almost impossible to see anything. No wonder they missed so much. I prefer Phase 1 armor over any other armor types, but that's only because i'm a Prequels OG, as i were born just in time for the Phantom Menace to come out on cinema. I mostly prefer the phase 1 armor because i honestly think it looks better than the other phases of Clone trooper and later Stormtrooper armors of the Empire, First Order and Final Order. I prefer simplicity and ease of use, even if it's more bulky and uncomfortable to use and wear. I mean, if it keeps you alive, it clearly works, so why change

[@Exnolol]

you should make a podcast id listen to that sm. a star wars podcast would be amazing

[@ven7165]

I don't think it'd make sense that the Kaminoans would know how to clone, modify, train, and create equipment for humans but somehow fail to create comfortable armor for them. Kaminoans themselves are humanoid, just slimmer, I assume they can just make measurements of a human body and create fine-fitting armor like any clothing-designer today. Additionally there are existing armors in the galaxy to use as reference (Mandalorian) and companies to use for manufacturing expertise or production (you can't tell me no company in Star Wars existence has ever tried to create armor for humans). If there's some deeper in-lore reason for why the Phase I armor didn't meet expectations I'd like to know. But "They just weren't used to human bodies" is a poor excuse. It takes 10 years for a clone to grow (nevermind all the research, planning, development, and production before the first batch was even possible), plenty of time to take any human in the galaxy (or trained soldiers or mercenaries) and give them a set of armor and ask "How does that feel?". Again, terrible reasoning for why Phase I sucked.

Phase lll from the force unleashed looks so much better than bad batches scuffed armor. I get they did it based on the old concept art but that trope got played to death in rebels. We get it. Just because it was the original doesn't mean it was good. That's why it wasn't the final choice Dave.

[@FTFSupremacyROBLOX]

The biggest flaw of it in my opinion is the color, in most environments it sticks out like a sore thumb, whereas B1s are a dull brown color making them a lot harder to distinguish in most environments, I play separatists mostly in Star Wars games except for snow maps where the clones have a camo advantage.
