[@dr.scarlet7586]

From what I read in the lore, there were actually plenty of good and even great marksman in the Stormtroopers. And the E-11 is actually a pretty good blaster rifle. The reason why so many miss their shots is because of their helmets, they have poor vision and can't see out of them well enough to land their hits. Whenever a stormtrooper takes off the helmet to fight, their aim increases significantly.

[@ZainAhmed-ns2di]

@@dr.scarlet7586 I know it is because of the smoke in their helmets I'm pretty sure or something like that. But the first order troopers had more technology in their helmets to help them aim. If I was a storm trooper I would totally try to modify my helmet to not have smoke, have aim assist and to be able to activate temperature control without my commander knowing

[@jaredbrown9113]

Perhaps Kreel had a slight force sensitivity. He could feel the electrifying power in Sidious. After all, The emperor's force power most often seen is force lightning, and it is caused by the force which is a living thing. The idea that the trooper could feel this unaware that it is anything other than admiration doesn't seem too far fetched. It could even explain the troopers inclination towards lightsabers.

[@nascentKiller]

True, but even then the fact he wasn't inducted into the inquisitorius or old canon shadow guard makes me think he is just a unique guy, not a force sensitive

[@ttry1152]

No. Not really. Nost beings. Who we know are not force sensitive who where near vader or palpatine felt abosulge dread or hate or anxiety

[@guacotaco4349]

To be fair the lightsaber is also really hard to use without force sensitivity so that checks out has too how he uses it without large training apparently since I'd imagine vader gets fed up with the training if it included managing to learn to even properly use a saber

[@Alduinhead]

Not to mention midichlorians are a thing. Sgt. Kreel probably had more than most other storm troopers

[@TR1CK]

@@nascentKiller he could have just had an above average midi-chlorian count, not enough to be considered a force sensitive, but enough to just get feelings of things

[@marshalt0201]

I believe the “living lightning” part was more literal, because the emperor was one of the only people who could use force lightning, so I think he meant he could feel the emperor’s power

@YoBoiSnyderGG_ 9 you must've been very bored

Vader gives a late Empire era stormtrooper his lightsaber. Stormtrooper tests it out and cuts his own head off. Vader: "D'oh!"

[@weirdandunusualedits8787]

The description of palpatine is literal. And kreel can feel the force.

[@misrememberedrealms9178]

"He appeared in an instant. A brilliant flash that left me blinded, fazed, disoriented. I felt him before he came, in some instinctive way. Even Lord Vader was only a dark cloud compared to the power and presence of the Emperor. I was changed in ways I cannot describe in words..."

[@jcw91371]

Kreel had enough of a minuscule connection with the force to feel a minor portion of what Palpatine is in the force.

I'm crying..."I should melt this down..and you for your failures "

Dude that soldier with the glowing blue visor. That’s a really cool set of armour

[@bucketoafterbirth]

Been binge watching videos lately. Appreciate the work!

[@jancejancejance]

The SCAR Squadron is one of my favorite new additions. Very unusual in a sea of identical Stormtroopers. You should do a whole video on them.

"I fight to not get shot" _that trooper is just done with his life_

[@Maximitus96]

It seems that Kreel has some form of force affinity, that would explain why he excedeed in combat and command (thus achieving a higher rank in his Division)

[@toalesovikk7168]

In my mind the word lightning is associated with the emperor's force lightning. Why would Kreel say this, is it because Palpatine emanates a strong energy? How would a non force user be able to sense this maybe because the kyber crystal was speaking to him. Here's one even crazier, Kreel is force sensitive and doesn't realise it and Darth Vader didn't want him to know. Darth Vader was pleased to hear his response not because of his loyalty but it insures him that Kreel was going to stay as a stormtrooper.

[@ethanarnett4233]

That Palpatine scene felt like it was straight outa robot chicken😂

[@bobovanic9738]

Just pure raw power manifested into a physical form.

[@valthenvega2434]

Palpatine: The empire needs more people like you, Trooper. Kreel’s mind: Please don’t let the words out! Palpatine: Carry on, soldi- Kreel, lifting hand: MY LORD!! Palpatine: Stormtroo- WAIT A MOMENT!!

[@apaperbag2531]

Maybe he's force sensitive or something and he could feel the power pulsing from palpatine

[@mop_man]

I think when he says living lightning, he’s talking about how he has power that can’t be stopped and can destroy anything it touches, a show of force so overwhelming it cannot be ignored.

[@jizardo3598]

2:04 Damn, hes gonna kill his entire squad with a lighsaber hole in his chest. Thats hard, Respect.

[@MeetroLP]

Why do his Troops remember me of the Bad Batch with the big guy, the tech guy and so on

[@Im_Not_Loss]

2:03 Kinda hard to kill your men after shoving a lightsaber through your chest

[@oEndxr]

I just say that the amount of lightning reflected back into palp's face still resonated and kreel felt the sheer electrical charge.

[@catstudios2xx2x66]

His aura as palpating only uses lightning for the majority of the star wars timeline

[@fryingpan2576]

How I see it is: A bolt of lightning is bright and noticeable even when nobody sees it coming out of the corner of your eye you see lightning. Palpatine has that kind of affect on multiple people in the Star Wars universe

[@koh1rabi]

this whole thing seems like a star wars version of an r/thathappened
