What's great about this scene is the lore is built upon the Clone Wars. In a broadcast by the GAR radio droid, it mentions the mud jumpers of Mimban. They trained a militia to help fight off invading separatists that wanted the resources there. After order 66, the empire returns as conquorors, fighting for the resources against the same militants the clones helped train.

I agree.

[@bluedotdinosaur]

In the original Star Wars, the Empire initially only needed to fulfill the role of a very simple fascist state pastiche. Over the course of the series, as the universe is fleshed out, far more complication is layered on. Especially thanks to the prequel trilogy. Essentially, in the wider SW setting the Empire can't really be what it is initially portrayed as in the classic trilogy. The Empire was pulled together out of a very large republic, containing thousands of worlds with hundreds of cultures and peoples. Basically, outside of the Imperial academies turning out officers and elite stormtroopers, the vast majority of people working with or for the Empire would have to represent a wide variety of viewpoints, ethics, and political beliefs - pulled from so many worlds. This is of course, a reason why a widespread rebellion is so logical. Too many different kinds of people to really control much, or even most, of the population with propaganda.

I love how this short scene is just so perfect. It shows the Army as a combined arms warfare machine which air assaults in armored fighting vehicles with support of infantry while close air support missions are being conducted. The one real officer we see before dying recognizes Solo despite the chaos of battle immediately and motivates him and his unit with positive reinforcement. Lore wise, Vader and more competent Imperials favored Generals over the Admirals, as the Army and General Staff didn’t enjoy the overwhelming funding and support of the Navy, which resulted in a pragmatic and efficient fighting force which favored effectiveness and competency above all else. Compared to the Navy which never struggled and grew complacent and heavily rigid, where Solo is instantly sacked for disobeying an order which would have gotten him killed, the Army awards outside the box thinking and the ability to take action without a crippling chain of command.

There are so many possibilities for plots that could be extracted from the SW universe without even mentioning jedi or the force.

Imagine a small planet just rebelling against the empire or Coruscant underworld stories.

I say they should do a movie with the feel of this scene, and with a totally loyal Imperial lead. They can probably set it around the Empire’s early years when people were still on board with it, with our protagonist joining a squad of Stormtroopers to repress any acts of terror in this transition period. It would be a good look into the earliest days of the Empire, and...if they made the protagonist a Stormtrooper, it could totally bring a fresh new perspective of the idea that was introduced with Finn in the sequel trilogy.

Star Wars has always been about the great fight between good and evil, but it would be extremely fresh and nice to see the wars fron the perspective of the common people like this.

I think it would be great if they showed extremist rebel groups like Saw Guerrera's, commiting war crimes as to further convince the main character that they are right fighting for the Empire. In the early days of the Empire, there was no official Rebel Alliance, just different rebel groups, not all of them were good.

Goes from a simple patriotic peace keeper to actual concentration camps and genocides happening for “the greater good”.

@@firebottle8402 Why? from the onset there were planets that immediately refused to join the Empire and had to be subjugated. Yeah you could just bombard the planet from orbit with your fleet but then that's not going to win you any brownie points with the rest of the systems, if they think their only options are death or join, then many will rather risk choosing death cause of such an overbearing Empire, but if they think their options are join or a normal defeat followed by subjugation, not mass destruction...that's different, some will fight but part of the reason they are fighting is because they know "it can't get any worse than this once we lose", they are brave enough to fight because they think they have a chance and don't expect to be bombarded from orbit...and they won't be because it would make turning other systems to your side if they see you in a bad light and increase the chances that they join together against you. So you gotta play politics and appearances a bit as the Emperor. If you meant something else then sry.

[@Lazarultos]

@@firebottle8402 It does make sense though. If the planet has resources that have to be captured and the Empire can't just orbital bomb them into submission, then they are forced to undertake a ground-based campaign which (against an experienced military opposition like the Mimban locals) is going to be a slow and bloody slog no matter how you slice it. When you have to capture locations intact without wrecking them completely it's going to devolve into a firefight, where the defenders have the advantage of digging in and waiting for you to come at them. Even though it's likely the Empire will eventually win since they can pull in troops and resources from all over the galaxy, while the defenders only have their local resources and population, it's going to be an absolutely miserable time for the soldiers and leaders on the ground.

The Empire had no reason to feel unified, they weren’t really fighting for a cause other than power and what they liked to call “peace”

[@BanditoBurrito]

I wish there was more units shown in Star Wars like this, as in the standard Imperial trooper, and the Stormtroopers being elite, not goofballs flying around like ragdolls. Then you would actually have an intimidating antagonist again, if the rebels are just “sooooo badass" ALL of the time then them destroying anything imperial doesn't feel earned or have any weight to it.

Andor moment.

[@pseudonymousbeing987]

Coric said it already but I wonder how much you liked Andor.

[@CoolSmoovie]

Andor and Solo did a good job reminding people that the Empire’s army isn’t just Stormtroopers

[@Spiralredd]

Although they are a part of it.

We always see the war trough a Jedi/Sith perspective, it is really cool see how terrifying it actually is trough a normal soldier perspective

"Cadet Solo. Still can't decide if you're brave or stupid" Me: Is it too much to ask for both?

I like how the blaster bolts colours are "fading" when firing. Make it look so much more realistic.

A prequel about Beckett assembling his team and running jobs that lead up to this battle. But have the “Rogue One” production team film and direct it.

[@chaosXP3RT]

Finally! They show regular Imperial Troopers!

[@XevenYT143]

Favorite scene from the movie. Shows humanity in Imperial Soldiers and the inspiration from WW1’s brutality.

[@Spiralredd]

Yeah we're so focused on the x wings and tie fighters we forget that this is more like what the rest of the platoons deal with
