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.

I'm really glad they let them be different. Paratroopers and advanced scouts are some of the wildest soldiers you'll meet.

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.

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.

Video Summary For Those On A Time Crunch: Scout Troopers were a lot more independent minded than the rest for the stormtroopers. They had to be, as scouting was typically a solo or duo mission. They had to be innovative and initiative taking. This was contrary to what Palpatine, wanted. He wanted people to have no individuality, and instead serve the cause of his empire. He even had his officers monitor communications among troopers, so ensure they did not engage in idle chatter, or friendship. Allen also says that he relates to these people as a fellow biker. He Loves biking because in that moment he feels truly free from the stress of polite society, and the stresses of modern life. He believes that's why the scout troopers love their job so much, and even suggests that they may see the issues with the empire but overlook them to continue biking for a living.

Scout recon while wearing shiny white armor in any environment beyond snow .They are either very good or eating crayons. Any disposable enemy is always plot based on how good they are or bad they are at their jobs.

I'm going to be pedantic here but my inner gun nut is triggered by the EC17. You opted for a side trigger rather enlarging the trigger guard. Who designed this thing, some penny pinching bureaucrat who only wants "military grade" equipment?

[@MrG-zn6gh]

besides, why even have a trigger guard in the first place if you're gonna have a side trigger like that? it completely defeats the purpose of the trigger guard

I just realised those Holdout blasters are based on the old liberator pistol It was a shitty single shot pistol where you'd store rounds in the grip, you'd have to reload it every shot

The view behind you makes it look like you're on the planet of Corisant😂😂

Out of all the stuff I've seen fans do, the one thing I don't think I've ever seen is a someone wearing Scout Trooper armor, riding a motorcycle. Alan. You must get your friends to do this.

The comparison to the nazis is very apt, that's literally where they got their unit type name

[@Rfdp0]

Also the dark side was literally originally space Nazis.
