How Did Darth Vader Punish Stormtroopers and the 501st? Star Wars Explained 

Hey everyone! What did you think of the troopers and Vader's relationship? Thanks for watching!

The emperor punished Vader by putting sand in his suit.

It's somewhat simple when you think about it: -Vader had respect for the troopers under his direct command because they didn't try to make power grabs, they didn't try and usurp his authority, and they followed his every command, with not just loyalty, but respect. He returned that respect in kind. -Officers, on the other hand, were for the most part out for themselves. They would send troopers into meat-grinders carelessly, because there were always more ready to take their place. The field commander within Vader considered this method entirely unacceptable, and so he grew to hate any officer that treated their men as tools to be used and discarded when broken. -Vader, contrary to popular belief, never really killed without a reason. There was always some underlying circumstance or overt reason behind why he executed Imperials. Ozzel was a moron who was power hungry and incompetent, Needa lost track of the Millennium Falcon, a key component in Vader's plan to capture Skywalker, etc. This is in direct contrast to the Emperor, who would kill a man because it was Monday, and he hated Mondays.

I really like this, how Vader actually respected some of his men. In the films we really just see him shutting down or choking officers, showing very little respect for anyone outside of Tarkin and Palpatine. So, with this, I think it's great how Vader kept his close bonds with the Clones in a sense, and trusted, stood by and respected his legion, rather than treating them like suited, unintelligent fools that were merely at his disposal, like he treated most troops and officers.

what if stormtroopers used aimbot

Since you did what if Anakin liked sand, what about if Anakin had the high ground?

1:13 "...he felt that they were just a bunch of old men, hungry for power between one an other. which lead them to making stupid decisions and losing stormrooper lives as a result. Ordering them, poorly, into traps...and all the rest who lacked vision. Which, he found disturbing." yup, that pretty much sums up my opinion on most politicians that curently exist world wide.

What if Qui Gon was able to save both Anakin and his mother?

I don't know why, but the fact vader used two of his men as shields kinda annoyed me.

what if mace windu didnt rush the emperor, but fled and survided order 66, evading the empire then eventualy assisting yoda in training luke? please like so he can see this!

hello there

I like the legands version on how he protects his troopers

So why didn't Vader want anyone to see his unmasked face?

What if C3PO would be silver

'How Did Darth Vader Punish Stormtroopers and the 501st?' Truly this question has been keeping me awake at night.

I have a feeling Vader doesn't care for non-clone Storm Troopers but does genuinely cares for clone Storm troopers, due to clones are more useful than the new templates.

What happened to all the leftover light sabers in the Jedi temple after order 66?

Throwing sand at them?

Because the 501st are "Vader's fist", if he sends them to fight against rebels could you say that Vader is fisting the Rebels.

I love it when they humanize Darth Vader, more of these would be great

My Stormtroopers love me... Except for that black one.

What if the Empire destroyed Tatooine instead of Alderaan?!

What if Rex stayed with Anakin/Vader? Also, what if Commander Cody didn't betray Obi-Wan and helped him escape?

Gonna watch this then go to bed! Goodnight @Star Wars Theory From the UK :)

Show me the way

I'm not afraid ( Vader cuts off Luke's arm).

love your channel man your voice fits this channel and explanation while also giving us good insight on secrets of starwars. I think starwars is like our world with almost infinite​ things to Discover and build upon

Basically, Legends respected the idea that Vader still had some humanity left in him in regards to his attitude towards his fellow warriors, adding to his character. Disney is just like "meh Vader bad cares for himself not gud" which completely removes tat entire interesting aspect of his character.

My troops are the best and as such I treated them as that which they are the best of the best of the best.

We didn't get punished :)

Man you just keep pumping out solid videos. Keep it up 👍🏼

been watching these every night before bed the past few nights, great stuff. subscribed.

His more severe punishment of officers does not surprise me at all. A soldier, especially an experienced combat veteran is that, a soldier. They screw up, you make a correction and move on. But it is A soldier. An officer must be above that, they must be beacons for the soldiers to look up to, follow and hope and try to be like. They must be near paragons. If they screw up it can poison an entire command. 1 soldier is 1 soldier but an officer can be responsible for so much more and can lead to the corruption, loss of moral, loss of faith and loss of discipline on a wide scale. No mercy can be allowed and harsh examples must be maintained unless you risk all those below them.

What if Obi-Wan was unable to become a force ghost? That should be interesting.

another awesome insight, thx alot bro really loved it

Love your videos brutha... keep doing what u doing

Do a video on blasters and what they're powered by as well as the colors of the plasma

#stormtrooperslivesmatter

Great video like always :)

nice video, i love the background information... ;)

could you answer what the tally marks on the side of some clones helmets mean because I've never known what they mean

I like his relationship with is clones and how he cared and thought of them as men over just clones

Hey Star Wars theory' Your videos are amazing and your definitely my favorite channel. Ik these videos take more Time than just gaming videos but if you can please make 2 videos a day?(btw great video)

Totally cool I did not expect this when I clicked on this video your channel is the best !!

He cut through an entire squad of Rebel Marines so his Troopers wouldn't have to.

What if the the Republic declared war on sand instead of the CIS?

Vader: "Clean my helmet" Stormtrooper: "No" Vader: "Thats it"

awesome video dude

For May 4th "What If George Lucas Made The Star Wars Films in Chronological Order"... would episode 1-3 be better, would fan love 1-3 more than 4-6 ??? WOULD MARK HAMILL PLAY ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN BE LUKE SKYWALKER ??????? What's your theory !?!?!?!?!?

Can you make a what if Star Wars Theory was never made. I thinks this would put a very dark twist on the world.

FREAKING loved this episode thanks

Absolutely love this channel

What if Dooku did not hold back against Anakin after he had dealt with Kenobi in RoTS

Hey, can you do a psychological analysis of Anakin skywalker, why he turned to the dark side and about his past!!!

i really enjoy your vids!

Nice ep sir!

I hate how Vader kills his own men

Its obvious.....he would make them execute order 69.

Hey man, recently found your channel and have enjoyed the backlog. Nice stuff! Anyways, got a theory idea for you: I've been watching the Star Wars Clone Wars series for the first time just recently, and just a few days ago, I finished Season 3 episode 10. I thought this would make for an interesting "What if?", and a bit of a different one too! "What if the infiltration droids had failed/been stopped?" Not quite your normal thing, but I think it could be interesting, especially considering just how different so much would have played out.

I like this video. To know that Vader still had a sense of comradery for his clone friends is really cool.

I kind of care about my squad but that doesn't mean that I have a soft side.

What if The apprentice (star killer) never died

0:50 when your dad tells you to clean your room but you don't

Your videos relax me

This channel is boss!

What if Anakin went to Ut pau i asked a million times

To think I found a new Chanel to binge watch in my recommendation list.

Officers never put their life’s on the line like clones and stormtroopers

third

Nice Video :)

Introducing and great video

This video is going to be one of my all time favorites.......I love the sacrifices that Vader's troops made for him and he madefor his troops........I like the fact that he was not an arm chair or rear area leader..........I strongly hated those types when I was in the Army.......He was an inspiration to his stomtroopers..........Keep making these videos about Lord Vader...............

Star wars Theory Great video and I like yours videos

Close to 1 mil bro

My whole life has been around Star Wars,since I was 5 and saw my first movie I’ve been mesmerized by Star Wars and it never gets old

I like to get a coffee with Vader every now and then. He's a very open person and is willing to be there when you need him.

Hey dude I love the channel! It's amazing! I was thinking it be cool if you did a video on what you would like the next big Star Wars RPG game to be about maybe like a 10-20 min video on it?? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it

Great vid

you are my favorite starwars channel.

Really interessting! Makes me exited to hear more about Anakins stories after his fall From where exactly are you getting all the infos to this video, which you didn't name? I'd really like to read into it

As a former conscript soldier, it is always heartening to have your commander lead you, instead of just tell you what to do. Vader does this far more than most commanders I've personally had command me, most simply going through the motion, over actually leading the troops forward.

I really want to know...what would happen if Rex was still the leader of the 501st during the time of the empire and wasn't with the rebellion? How would Bader treat him? +Star Wars Theory

Up until his redemption. **Lightsaber clashing** **hand cut off** AAAAAAH **continues talking**

His best bond with a Stormtrooper is none other than Gary!

Best vids in the galaxy thank you so much.

I really like how he treated Appo, as he even said after his death that he was fond of the commander.

Vader being described as a worker at the death star 😂😂 I love it

loved this

I can't stop clicking. I'm already too deep into these videos lmao

I laugh so hard when you put that Vader cutting luke's arm scene LMAO. It was unexpected

okay this would be amazing for a standalone movie. showing the bond with his troopers in battle

Most awesome vid!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone noticed how perfectly he cut of Luke’s scream? 🤣

The 501st/Vader's Fist need their own show, or at least an epic remaster of the story campaign from the original Battlefront II, which would be like Call of Duty WWII. An FPS game where you meet Vader, and he commends your loyalty, or force-chockes you if you fail

Vader's 501st: he is hard but he is fair. Everyone else: he hates literally everyone

I wasn't really surprised. I was more surprised at the idea of him punishing them, when I saw the title I immediately thought, "What did they do?". Darth Vader after all was once a field commander in the republic army. Field commanders also are often at odds with the officers who command from their comfy officer chairs.

I love seeing that picture of Anakin and the 501st. Though the events the followed were terrible we can see the bond between them and how Anakin still respected the clones.

LOL WAS THE NECK SOUND EFFECT NECESSARY

3:52 i used to have that comic i actually did 😂 i always found vader so badass in that moment

One thing I love about the movies is how Vader never abused his enlisted men, be they Stormtroopers, Snowtroopers, TIE pilots, etc.; the officers, however, were snooty and arrogant and he saw them as more expendable, in a weird way, than the actual foot soldiers. He understands the soldiers because he is one. He likes to fight, not stand by and make abstract plans about battles. They love him because he goes first, unafraid, giving them confidence and something near equality with him on the battlefield. Meanwhile, no one could imagine Ozzel or Needa doing that.
