how Stormtrooper armor EVOLVED from Phase One to the First Order

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

Keep in mind that this video contains no information from the newest Bad Batch episode, that being Season 2 Episode 11. Also, make sure to check out my video on Sunday, where I rank all of the Star Wars movies!

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

@Homer I was just implying that the 41st wore the green camo on Kashyyyk. (Perhaps I should've just said green armor instead)

[@RyanBright-wg1yk]

Clones to Imperial Soldiers… as a Swedish man once said “it’s evolving… just backwards”

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

Pewdiepie... is that you?

[@Callum_Summer0972]

No.

[@Ahhkiba]

A little fun fact about the proto stormtrooper armor, it’s actually based off Ralph McQuarrie’s concept designs. It’s a nice little callback to him.

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

Yeah they do they do this a lot in shows like Rebels with Darth Vader and this one with the Tk Troopers. It's definitely a creative way of changing things up.

[@DasNik25]

This was the first video i saw from your channel. After watching your older videos I'd have to say, your voice is so much more pleasant to listen to in this video compared the older ones. Please continue like this.

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

Thanks for the support! You'll be pleased to hear I am moving into the future with my normal voice like in this video, and I actually have a short coming out today about why I'm changing it. I still have 2 more videos coming out in the next week or so with the old voice because I already made them a while back, but other than that, everything will have my normal voice moving forward.

Finally someone with eyes in his head, so many KZbinrs still claim the color change came with Phase II although The Clone Wars proves that unit colors began to appear quite early in the war despite many troopers still wearing white at the beginning. Thank you!

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

As the comments have pointed out, I still missed a couple of things lol. But I guess that's hard not to do with so many details.

[@CraftMotion]

@@DaBlueBountyHunter Yes, sure but like you said it's really much. Speaking of colors, what do you think that the Stormtrooper pauldron colors symbolize? Currently the only information I have is: None/Black=Private White=Sergeant Orange=Squad Leader Red=Captain or Commander But the Sergeant is the leader of a squad, besides "Squad Leader" can't be an official rank, next in the command line would be Lieutenant. And Captain and the four different Commander ranks all have red? Looks like s very weird military structure to me. What do you think?

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

@CraftMotion - Star Wars & Fantasy According to Wookieepedia, orange is for unit leader, but I don't know if that makes a difference. Also, I always assumed only Sandtroopers wore the pauldrons until I played Jedi Fallen Order.

[@CraftMotion]

@@DaBlueBountyHunter Well, a unit can be everything. Can be a squad or a corps. Yeah, Fallen Order is using pauldrond pretty frequently although they don't use the white ones (only Purge Troopers have three different colors). I too didn't know that Scouts have them as well but it kinda makes sense. Hopefully this gets explored more in future content

[@mandaloriancrusader6699]

Stormtroopers aim and efficiency seem to be pretty tremendous if it's not used against main protagonists as beginning of Star Wars show and quite a few other examples. Also they can see clearly through their helmets but others can't as it's not coded for them. Han Solo and Luke could not see anything through it as it was not theirs.

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

Who knew stormtrooper aim would be so controversial.

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

@Homer Based

[@Callum_Summer0972]

@Homer They miss but their accuracy is much higher compared to marines which needs hundreds to thousands of shots to hit a target while the Stormtroopers only need tens to a hundred shots.

I am pretty sure phase one clone armor was more blaster resistant then phase two. That's the reason captain Rex kept his phase one chest plate

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

That would make sense

[@kiddeath8883]

Yeah the main reason they switch to phase 2 because it had more mobility/comfort & was more modular, you can put a variety of gadgets & equipment if only they had a phase3 with the best of both armors

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

@KidDeath888 :/ Yeah, that's what I read, too.

[@st-6837]

Bad aiming? Those dead rebels at Tantive IV, Hoth and Scarif said otherwise

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

You make a good point

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

@Homer That is very true.

[@Callum_Summer0972]

@Homer Or it could be just a skill issue on the Rebels. The Stormtroopers had little troopers on their part that got knocked out while stormtroopers were literally blasting the rebels. Why would the big bad troopers of the Empire have plot armor instead of the very good and very admirable rebels?

[@Callum_Summer0972]

@Homer They had good cover and home advantage and had many(not that many) men on overwatch yet the very bad and very evil stormtroopers managed to break through and kill many rebels.

[@vector4753]

[@ReviveHF]

The Imperial Army Troopers and Stormtroopers fighting capabilities by the time of New Hope were basically diminished due to the prolonged conflict between Rebels and the Empire. At this point, many highly trained Imperials from the Army and Navy either killed in prolonged combat or defected to the Rebel Alliance, so the Imperial had to shorten the training duration to quickly replenish the losses. As for the issue about why did the Imperial abandon TK trooper's armour was because of the Tarkin Doctrine. TK trooper armour was design for better combat efficiency just like the X Wing fighter, while Stormtrooper armour was more like the TIE fighter design for intimidation and cheap manufacturing.

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

Yo Tarkin, I'm a big fan. You should watch this short I helped make about you on my friend's channel: kzbin.infoD8Hps-paruc?feature=share Also, cool information!

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

Some say you can't beat the classic, but I do really like the Tk look.

[@CorpusGreed]

You know what i thought about? I was thinking about: what if we'll make a stormtroopers movie. You know? From theyr perspective and so on. (Lets name them uh... Gary and Larry for example) And i imagined the way, they kill droids, or clone troopers or evoks... and then i remembered about Jedis existance. I though of the way how those two humble pals, must kill one. Blasters? No, no, Jedi will reflect shots and kill poor Gary. Close combat? Well, thats rediculous. Larry boy will have his arms chipped of. And then i remembered something... That "stunning mod" on Bad Batches, blasters. 1: they are larger (no need to aim so much) 2: they can stun Jedi (or kick him on the floor so it'll be an easier kill) 3: Its imposible to reflect. (Or is it?) Are there any hard fans? Can somebody explain if tahts even posible?

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

Considering Scorch was able to stay conscious after about 5 blasts from a blaster on Stun, I doubt a jedi wouldn't be able to recover from a shot with ease. I'm not sure about reflecting on Stun-blasts, though. You'd have to research that.

Don't get me wrong, but Stormtroopers are no inaccurate. They miss due to the plot, or simply ordered to.

[@DaBlueBountyHunter]

Could you elaborate on when they were ordered to miss?

[@massielhernandez241]

@@DaBlueBountyHunter On Deathstar 1, the Stormtroopers were ordered to miss against the rebel group (Luke, Leia, Han, Chewy - maybe Ben too even though he was shot at much). If they were to let them escape, these rebels will eventually go back to their base - where there are MORE rebels (or all of them). So if the Empire now knows the location of a rebel base, or the entire rebel army, well say good bye to the Alliance. Also when we see Stormtroopers getting shot in the death star, they needn't be worried of being shot since their armor pretty much tanked the shot itself. Heck most of them acted like they either got paralyzed to make the rebel group (Leia, Han, Luke, Chewy) to continue escaping.

Let me correct you chief cause your horrible at Star Wars lore….. imperial storm troopers were highly accurate and in the movies they were ordered not to kill… and why anyone who wasn’t a true storm trooper couldn’t see out the helmet because the suit was made for that specific trooper and if you weren’t him the suit would turn off…. Disney took a joke and has amplified X30 for absolutely no reason it was a little joke before now all Disney do3s is make storm troopers look bad and when they do get a way they let them win against unarmed pirates/thieves…
