Why Scout Troopers were a bunch of degenerates

The Scout Trooper Corp is one of the most elite special forces branches in the Imperial Military. The job they are required to do is quite difficult and therefore the recruiting standards and practices are a bit different. What you get as a result is a bunch of flippant and slightly deranged thrill seekers. My kind of people.

Is it just me, or are Scout Troopers the most consistently funny type of trooper in StarWars? If I’m not mistaken, almost every time there’s an iconic funny moment, there’s a scout trooper involved

[@BouncingTribbles]

I'm really glad they let them be different. Paratroopers and advanced scouts are some of the wildest soldiers you'll meet. It takes a special kind of soldier to want to roam around behind enemy lines alone or with a small team. WW2 advanced scouts expected an 80% casualty rate going in. It was a volunteer only position.

I always forget that Stormtroopers (and their variants) are actually the elite special forces, and not the common soldier. They actually do have the best aim and skills among the Empire’s military, they just miss characters in shows and movies for plot reasons. Edit: seems some dorks in the comments don’t realize that the Stormtroopers make up a small percent of the total imperial combat personnel, with the vast majority being made up of a boots-to-the-ground, asses-in-trenches Imperial Army

[@Toast2005]

I feel like that isn't true. Stormtroopers are more akin to the standard US Army Solider or Marine. Anyone below them is more like the National Guard or draftees

[@Toast2005]

Everyone above the average Stormtrooper are your special forces.

[@Jet-ij9zc]

​@Toast2005 the video literally explains how storm troopers are trained from childhood. Comparing that with regular army or marines with what? 10~12 weeks of basic training? Is ridiculous. The reason why you see a lot of storm troopers in the shows/movies is because the empire's population is ridiculously high and the locations we see are usually points of interest. They're not going to defend the death star with regular soldiers.

[@Toast2005]

Those two actually made me think. If Disney Star Wars had a more chronological structure, i.e. didn't jump around in time so much with each show and movie, wouldn't it be fun seeing one or two Troopers again and again? They wouldn't even always be involved in the main action. We could have seen a Trooper contingent decimated out by the main characters and have an end credit scene where those two get assigned there to replace those losses. Or they recognize someone like Din Djarin because they have seen before what he can do and give each other some blaster scaring on the armor or maybe even injure each other so they can report they engaged him and have been lucky to survive. After all, Bacta heals many wounds.

[@Dreamfox-df6bg]

@@ethanwoolard9668 Well, the first movie was meant to be self-contained and with the time between the original and the prequel trilogy it would have been difficult to built something like that in. For this to work you would need a series of movies and shows that are chronologically closer together. Even within the Expanded Universe it would have been difficult to pull off as there was not really an oversight about the stories. Considering that the 'Dark Empire' comics were rarely mentioned in other books and in those the New Republic temporarily lost control of Coruscant, something that would have eroded the trust of the people in the New Republic for quite some time.

[@Swindle1984]

In A New Hope, you can see a stormtrooper checking downed men to see if they're dead or merely wounded when Darth Vader makes his entrance.

Stormtroopers are highly effective and very accurate. The problem is our POV is usually through the eyes of top tier force users that redirect, block or freeze blaster bolts. Even the Luck that Lando and Han have is from low level force sensitivity. Luck is low level precognition which lets them passively dodge attacks and never miss.

You either go full on and zoom down it or you carve it like a wave(which is why I do, I don't wanna die lol), but still going pretty fast and is just a rush.

May favorite scene. I can tell you as a person who had served in the military with scouts. This was a very accurate scene to life in the military.

Hey it was an older video, but OwnASaber sponsored one of your videos. I bought one! I got the Tormentor with your MEOW Code. That thing is amazing

That was the most Andor like scene in the Mandalorian. Just low level grunts being low level grunts

Just stumbled on to this video. Not a star wars guy there fine whatever, but man you hit the nail on the head when talking about riding. Very well stated.
