1:32 it's worth noting that later in the war, the colors are not represented by ranks, but rather their assigned units. For instance, the 501st Legion uses blue striping, and 212th Attack Battalion uses orange striping to name the few.

I’ve always been a huge fan of the stormtroopers when I was young despite their “lack of aims” but seeing its evolution that dates all the way back from the old republic era makes them even more epic.

[@diegog.4351]

Snow troopers weren’t originally thought up of by the Empire, snow variant clone troopers existed before them and they also look pretty similar to the galactic marine clones. Also, I think you could also say that the scout trooper armor was based off of the clone ARF troopers

[@RocketRiley]

That’s cool! Info from a book/comic?

[@taejo4975]

@@RocketRiley The Clone Wars series, there were Clone officers who worn ARF helmets such as Sergeant Hound and Commander Trauma. Also Clone snow troopers have two phases, the first one was a hybrid of Phase I mixed with snow armour while Phase II is the Galactic Marine Corp, exactly the same armour as the Imperial but have more equipment and colours.

[@whiteknightlegos953]

As well the shadow troopers were based on the clone shadow legion or shadow hand command.

[@lunaghost9267]

Welp scoot clone troopers exist, and scoot stormtrooopers are inspired from this one, like the armors of the 41st elit corps soldiers. If you put their green armors in white, its almost identical to the scoot trooper armor, and like the scoot troopers, 41st were specialized in recognition and intervention in hostile territory.

[@justapersonz5441]

@@taejo4975 Galactic Marine armor was actually better. It was made not just for snow, but for all environments. And similar to the ARC troopers were reinforced with better platin. They just looked similar.

[@jaigger]

As a star wars fan it hurts to try to justify in your head that the stormtrooper armor was supposed to be an advancement of phase 1 and 2 when its obviously props from the 80's vs 2000's CGI armor

[@RedCrownn]

Since Star Wars was released in 1977, stormtroopers were designed with the technology of that time. If George Lucas had waited another 10 years for technology to develop, we would be talking about a different stormtrooper armor design today.

[@GreenNinj4]

Given how badly live action clone trooper armor looks under Disney, the OT stormtroopers look like an advancement lol

[@katyushatman5187]

phase 1 clone armor was also heavy and hard to move in, but offered better protection against blasters, phase 2 was lighter but slightly less protected, thats why captain Rex modified his phase 2 armor and welded in phase 1 chest plate and visior in his armor

[@Trey_816]

In legends, some clone troopers opted to stick with the phase one armor because of better protection.

[@GeneraIGrievous.]

[@toltori2445]

Those mud troopers are actually imperial mud jumpers of the imperial army and not the storm trooper corps

[@JosStorm]

I really do like the modded Storm Trooper armor at 4:17, not only do they look unique but they have that post-apocalyptic aesthetic that makes these variants look badass. The great coat Storm Trooper with the RT-97C's gotta be my favorite. It's a stark contrast from the Galactic Empire era when everything has to be standardized and uniformed ofc, but it's like they sorta went back to the Republic era when Clone Trooper units had their own uniform design and coloring (similar like the South Vietnamese Ranger units).

[@nathann5169]

Phase 2 clone armor is perfection

[@xxxSaiyan228]

I think the reason why they created weaker armor is because the biggest threat of the galaxy, the CIS, has been defeated and only clones could handle, thus making them useless for other jobs except officers and guards Plus Palpatine did not expect such strong plot armor and power of hope in rebellion army, because they were less powerful than Separatists and than Grand Army of Republic, because of their trainings and mandalorian skills of combat

Im pretty sure mud troopers were the empires main infantry and the stormtroopers were actually a special forces and this was shown in the film solo

[@Bayofthe91st]

I actually like the decision to make the OT stormtrooper to be actually its phase 2, even though it felt like a downgrade, like smaller helmet visor for example before it got fixed by phase 3 for 1st order

[@angelic_disappointment7889]

The funny part is, according to cosplayers who actually wear the movie accurate armor, they say the stormtrooper helmet has more visibility than the clone helmets, quite ironic

[@NurseAmamiya]

You forgot to clarify that old republic troopers were actually human conscripts, but excelled in combat unlike the Empire's stormtroopers

[@thelegosmithy161]

Haven’t looked into it but the Old Republic was fighting a viable threat like the sith empire. While the empire was fighting regular rebels. Could have been that the empire was lax in training since the only enemy was rebels.

[@Inv1ns1bl]

As said in the video, Imperial stormtroopers were some of the best soldiers is starwars and only have a bad reputation because of misinformation and jokes.

@@billpleay9123 most of these conscripts don’t see a lot of intense combat and the officers are mostly high class people only in it for the glory thus most don’t really have good qualifications as officers.(most bribe their way in)

[@billpleay9123]

@@thelegosmithy161 What? The army of the Empire was the best in its time. Imperial military schools were built on every planet in the core worlds , and on many of the middle ring. And not only for attack aircraft, pilots, but also for officers. Also, the empire fought a lot, a lot. Starting as pirates and hunt for the remnants of the CIS, ending with preparations for war with the Yuuzhan Vong. Moreover, do not forget that the Assault Corps is an elite. To get there, you need to be trained from early childhood. This is not your ordinary ordinary army of the Empire. Well, everything connected with oblique stormtroopers is myths, they came from the jokes of the rebels, as well as from heroes with the scriptwriter's magic.

I get that its a meme and an ongoing joke, but stormtroopers are far from inaccurate, sure the Clone's were more accurate, but they were also genetically modified and bred for war. If people knew how much ammo was spent in real life vs how many hit's are made they'd be shocked, again the better trained you are the more accurate and likely you are to hit your target, but stormtroopers do quite amazing against rebels without plot armor.

The Empire still had an ordinary ordinary army. Can you tell me something about them?

[@large-turkey]

The imperial Army was the more expendable and far less trained soldiers of the galactic empire. They were basically the backbone of the imperial military but we're not considered as much by their superiors mainly due to their lack of training and significance within the military. While stormtroopers were considered a more elite unit that was more trained and more specialized for combat, as well as having a significant place within the empire. Because these troops were more expendable throughout the empire, they were given some of the most dangerous missions that the empire would find. This can all be shown during the Mimban scene in Solo. Imperial Army troops also assisted regular stormtroopers if necessary as seen in the battle of endor and the riot in rix road in Andor.
