Stormtroopers VS Imperial Army Troopers | What's the DIFFERENCE? 

@@Styfalled they could've shown us more battles on the Frontline during the galactic civil war

@@chaoticclonestudios simply 1917 movie

Thank goodness for Andor

@@libertyprime2013 Seriously, Andor has been a breath of fresh of air for the Star Wars universe

This is why I love Andor because they're actually showing the difference and showing stormtroopers as a terrifying force as they should be considering they are based of of an elite force of the already elite SS, which were apart of the Nazi Wehrmacht. Instead of being cannon fader they're a force that are feared by the citizens and when they show up they realize something bad is happening. One could say they have a bad feeling about this.

Narayuga Prajna best summary

@ImWelkinHere Yeah remember the DT trying to hit the blind dude.

If Leia, Luke Skywalker... They're force sensitive!

@Gaius Wyrden that’s why the stormtroopers killed all the rebels on the Tantive IV, took out all of The Hoth Rebels, left Luke stranded and the main characters on the run, and also wiped out like half the rebels on scariff! Because their so worthless! And have *TeRrIbLe AiM!*

@@felipeaugusto2600 it was the force, that was the point of the scene.

Elite fanatical soldiers can mop the floors as good as the regular grunts! Not all patriotic duty is glamorous. Anyway, that's in the First Order. Getting back to the OT, past a certain point, the idea of Stormtroopers as the Empire's elite troopers is laughable. And I don't mean because of their poor performance. I'm talking about their ubiquity. You want me to believe that Stormtroopers are the elites when they're used for everything, everywhere, all the time? That's not elite. That's basic trooper stuff. I really had thought that the "Stormtroopers aren't part of the Army" BS was over and done with when LucasFilm junked 80% of Legends, but that old West End Games/Decipher nonsense that created most of the problems Legends had keeps creeping back into canon.

tbf he was also a rookie

Almost all the first order has are stormtroopers, every other kind of soldier is a vast minority and therefore unable to be spared.

I use to play WEG, storm troops need very little tweking to kill off a player character's group. Star Wars is a one of the few War Movies that are kid friendly. damit the action figures came out before the movie did at places. John Wayne never got That kind of treatment.

That was probably his duty when performing barracks maintenance. Soldiers when not deployed have some basic duties that they're required to perform, in addition to the ongoing training to keep them in top form. And I figure if it works in real life, it can work in fiction.

In the books, the Stormtroopers got an “Oh shit” response. In the movies they got a “Great, more” response.

Kinda how it goes. Probably why they had to introduce Shoretroooers and Deathtroopers as well to kind of power creep the military for Rogue One.

@Gaius Wyrden I'm not saying that I don't agree, let alone that I don't *see* where you're coming from. But, particularly in Rogue One and Solo, if the production teams for these two films made stormtroopers and their various specialized variants truly competent, we wouldn't have had either film. Realistically, the Empire should've been large enough to be able to bury any insurgency in a mountain of corpses, and that's not even getting into the weight of its industrial capacity. If stormtroopers were competent, it would alter the dynamic between the Empire and the Rebellion. Admittedly, however, that's not a bad thing. I think it could've been interesting to force the good guys to really try in order to achieve victory, rather than just take advantage ofvyhe fact that their enemy came off as being too stupid to even make a sandwich.

Gaius Wyrden Lets be fair now Gaius. Stormtroopers are the default enemy in a film simply about good guys beating bad guys. Of course they won’t be the threat to the main heroes of the story, that’s just how it works.

@Gaius Wyrden Shoretroopers were a bit better. They managed to destroy a rebel shuttle and they did ok in the firefight.

Geroge Luca's plot and the Empire prefer fear over practicality

The white plastic for the costumes was a lot cheaper and they carried it over from A New Hope.

There's a video of jt

Nobody gonna say it? Endor was a moon not a planet. But really they could of used a few cans of spray paint to add a bit of flavor to the armor

Yeah, same.

It is possible that appearances of the Imperial Army core could happen in The Mandalorian television series. It is set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, which would be after the Galactic Concordance was agreed to. However Imperial Remnant factions might appear and these were forbidden to train and establish stormtrooper units, so other types of soldiers would have to be shown.

This is why I prefer Solo and Rogue One over the sequel trilogy. We get to see some fleshing out of the world that we know, I could not care less about First Order.

Michael Van Sise true, that’s why I have so high for hopes for the Mandalorian show.

Michael Van Sise it’s weird how new elements are being fleshed out in the spin offs movies and not you know in the NEW sequel movies where things should be new and never seen before stuffs instead we get same old stormtroopers,same old x-wing fighters,same old atat and same old planet killing weapon.

@@idurisu930 That's how I discovered one of my favorite youtuber, that I thought was 1m70, is in fact 1m90+ !

The Inquisition is called, and Luke is exposed to specific training scenarios designed to bring out his Force-Sensitivity. When he obviously succeeds in these scenarios, the Inquisitors would take possession of him and probably hand him over to Darth Vader.

@@Tracer_Krieg then he becomes a friking powerhouse and him and vader tale down sidious and they rule as father and son.

@@Tracer_Krieg The Inquisitors probably would've just taken care of training Luke and everything themselves. After all, Vader's a busy guy who can't be everywhere at once. And when Vader was first introduced to the Inquisitors, they already all had their black armour, red spinning lightsabers, "first brother, second sister" designations, their own hierarchy figured out, and some level of training under the Grand Inquisitor. By the time Luke would have become an Inquisitor, he would have stopped going by his own name, and his superiors would still continue to repress his individuality. So that said, it's entirely possible that if Luke became an Inquisitor, and eventually died as an Inquisitor, that Vader never would have learned that Luke - or "Nineteenth Brother" as he might have been called - was his son.

@@mitchellhayward6492 I'm not certain this would happen as it is establish Vader had a constant hand in the Inquisitions training and upkeep. Assuming this is the case, Vader would've dueled Luke at some point and sensing the power he possesses, would've taken him for special attention (ie, find out who he is). After this, a staged death might've occurred, and Vader would take over his training.

@@Tracer_Krieg Still sounds a bit unlikely, I reckon. After all, Vader encountered and tried to kill Luke multiple times before he knew he was his son - and even then, he only found out because Boba Fett told him. And he *never* found out that Leia was his daughter - and he'd been in a lot more contact with her. And besides, during his Stormtrooper training, Luke would've been drilled into addressing himself by / and answering to a alphanumeric designation instead of his name by the time an Inquisitor would come to collect him. And I see no reason why Luke would speak his own name aloud, especially to a superior, unless he was being a bit of a stumble-tongue. But I'm not saying Vader definitely wouldn't have found out. I'm just saying, with the logic surrounding these circumstances, I find it unlikely.

Yes

Deck the halls with Allen's insides. Fallahlalala, la la la.

@@Warhammered Allan if you see this... just the tree next video

You've been seeing them. The Imperial Army has been onscreen in the form of Stormtroopers since 1977. The Imperial Army as depicted in Solo is old West End Games sourcebook fanwank that never went away despite all evidence to the contrary in every movie, comic, game and book, and has infected the new canon via Solo. All making Stormtroopers separate from the regular army when they've been used as that by every Star Wars writer since the 80s does is create confusing problems like "Okay, so where *IS* the regular army all the time?"

@@williamhiers1280 The Imperial Army is the mudskippers, they basically have the armor of General Veers on the Hoth Campaign. And the stormtroopers on the Death Star are actually Naval Marines, so.

@@PugnaciousProductions Stormtroopers and Navy Troopers (the guys in big black shiny helmets) are different kinds of soldiers.

@@williamhiers1280 You misunderstood, Naval Marines and Navy Troopers are different too.

@@PugnaciousProductions Ah, I get it. At first I thought you were talking about the Imperial Navy Commandos. Now, though, I see that you mean the Imperial Marines, a branch of the Stormtrooper corps that primarily served aboard Star Destroyers and at other Imperial Navy installations. They're not canon anymore, and their Legends entry on Wookieepedia only lists four appearances for them, none of which are any of the movies. Both they and the previously mentioned (ans also no longer canon) Navy Commandos were part of a trend that saw the classic Navy Troopers being pushed to the sidelines and replaced with increasingly more Stormtrooper-like troops (and in the case of the Imperial Marines, actual Stormtroopers). We're seeing this happen again with the new canon, sadly; despite Navy Troopers making a few token appearances in Rogue One (in the form of both Death Star Troopers as well as regular Navy Troopers aboard the shield gate), Solo (as security at the spaceport) and Rebels (in the Imperial facility in the series finale), they're once again being largely ignored. We keep seeing Stormtroopers when we should be seeing Navy Troopers. Every time there's an Imperial ship, it's full to bursting with Stormtroopers (again, not Marines who aren't canon anymore, but just regular, garden variety Stormtroopers) when logically we should be seeing Navy Troopers aboard them like we did in the OT. We did see Stormtroopers on the Death Star(s), but the only troops we saw aboard any Star Destroyers in the original movies were Navy Troopers. The Stormtroopers who boarded the Tantive IV and came with Vader to Bespin obviously came aboard the Tyrant and Executor respectively, but as passengers, not the ship's compliment of security. This set a precedent which most subsequent films and shows have seen fit to ignore for some reason. Rebels did it all the dang time, and now The Mandalorian did it too with Gideon's cruiser, though I'm willing to give the latter a pass because it's the Imperial remnant and not the regular Empire, and if Gideon wants to staff his ship entirely with Stormtroopers in full armor as opposed to more proper regulation Navy Troopers, that's his business. At least the dang Navy Commandos aren't canon anymore, and only ever even made one appearance. They were redundant. The Imperial Navy already had its own troops. I understand that there's several different variants of Stormtroopers and so there can be something similar for Navy Troopers, but from a design standpoint the Navy Commandos failed in this department because they didn't carry on any of the design aesthetic of their Navy Trooper brethren.

Damn dolphins

Why Dolphins? I'm confuse

Edward Hahm while good I prefer the stormtroopers for some reason

Edward Hahm It reminds me of the Imperial Guardsman from WH 40k and looks like the Wehrmacht from WW1 and WW2. It also reminds me of General Veers. I always though Veers looked so badass on Hoth. He’s the Rommel of Star Wars after all.

and more realistic

olodemolo MCAroon True dat

Likely because stormtroopers are far more recognizable to the casual audience then an army trooper wich is wrong as it dilutes the supposed prowess of the stormtroopers but it is a very smart and easy way of telling your audience (I’m an imperial!) without making the person important enough to have lines and using armor to up production value

They didn't have a presence until the droids were reported there.

Gaius Wyrden that was literally the first star wars movie, it's makes absolutely no sense to say that George Lucas and his associates didn't understand their own original ideas, it's clear that originally the stormtroopers were supposed to be the main infantry in the imperial military, but Solo made it ambiguous with introducing these "imperial army troopers" causing people like Generation tech to have to bend over backwards explaining the events of the movie and the absence of the imperial army

Becuase that planet is highly important for the empire for the space routes

Johnny Anderson2 - Roblox because George didnt think about regular soldiers back then. People need to stop trying to make sense of this fact

hes done that plenty of times...specifically how shitty the Jedi really are, and how much collateral damage the Republic and Alliance cause to outer rim worlds go back to the beginning of the channel.

Dom Vern Well, the rebels were terrorists, so...

You gotta do what you gotta do to get rid of em terrorist. I mean Merica blows up towns, and hospitals, and such in the name of "freedom" because they thought to be holding terrorist and weapons. So before you ask the question you just did, pay attention to what over 300M people call "good guys" and then ask the question. Fun fact captured terrorist are actually tortured in the U.S.A because they are not considered POWs because they are terrorist.

@@north7764 Are* that were could easily bring you in for an Imperial "rehabilitation" camp.

Johnny Anderson2 - Roblox Actually, it’s against the UN rules/regulations to bomb hospitals, religious facilities, and other special buildings. Also, the US would _never_ interrogate a prisoner on the mainland. They’d take them to CIA blacksites like Guantanamo Bay.

Not to mention when shows like Kenobi make a total mockery of them

I think the rebels would help with that. They got the same enemy. The dolphins. We need to unite to fight the Dolphins and liberate earth from them. The dolphins are a big and strong enemy.

@@f4fphantomii468 Work with the Rebels..? The ones who use Mon Cal vessels and stolen Imperial frigates as their main warships? The faction who's backbone is the production of an *oceanic* race? Forgive me for the suspicion, but I have full faith in the Rebels (or just the Mon Cal and Quarrens) attempting to enlist the aid the Dolphins.. Combined, their forces would pose an actual serious threat to the humans of the planet (Earth) and the Empire! If anything we (the Empire) should engage our battle fleet first.. and if we -get our asses kic- decide to withdraw to a safe distance from the planet, send in the... Rebel... Forces. I understand that trust is a delicate commodity.. One which the Rebels and Empire do not have much of.. so we (The Empire) should simply bring enough ships to destroy the Dolphins *and* the Rebels! The only way this fragile union could fall apart is: A) if we have an incompetent, lying, plot device tier fool as the Admiral. B) The Rebels fire upon us, and we recieve visual confirmation that it is the Rebels doing so.. Hell we could try to contact them and speak while firing back. This mission will likely go undocumented but, if the Rebels uphold their end of the bargain, it could bring about lasting peace.

@@darthzayexeet3653 Agreed. I thought also that too many died too easily in the mandalorian. It felt too easy for Mando and his band of rebels. The storm troopers should be able to hit stuff better and actually pose a serious threat.

@@darthpepo1 no they didn’t. No important leaders were lost during the Battle of Hoth and Luke and his friends still got away in the end.

It just works

Here's a few: Stormtrooper Sandtrooper Snowtrooper Scout Trooper Death Trooper Shoretrooper Patrol Trooper Range Trooper Incinerator Trooper Dark Trooper (robot Stormtrooper) Those are the canon ones I can remember. The old EU ones like the Shock Trooper aren't canon anymore.

Unless it is unarmed, then they are super accurate. Even stone weapons are enough to effect their aim, hence why the Jawas were slaughtered and the Ewoks had BBQ.

If they hit a target every time that wouldn't any protagonist or any rebel soldiers alive so probably wouldn't be a story to talk about

They could hit all their targets on Tantive 4. I think anyone who fires at important characters has bad accuracy.

I’m pretty sure both can hit targets till plot armor shows up

@@veganhero1828 It is called plot armor. In the Star Wars universe, the characters are aware of this effect and refer to it as having the Force with you.

Even though just about every movie and show and comic continues to contradict the official info. The Army Troopers were part of very early EU roleplaying stat stuff and the old EU barely used them. And despite them appearing for the first time in live-action in Solo, the new canon has also seen fit to mostly ignore them in favor of Stormtroopers. Stormtroopers can't be "the elite, used only for super mega special ops" if they're everywhere guarding every base, ship and podunk spaceport. Sometimes Star Wars' canon is problematic in that it doesn't reflect what we're actually shown. Either they need to start using Stormtroopers less, or revise their role as outlined in the official guide stuff.

@@williamhiers1280 makes sense

Cool

Its pretty obvious. The US army is much more concentrated on making their soldiers more relaxed and keeping a stable psyche. The equipment is pretty obvious, except with rifles they are designed to be used semi auto most of the time with engagement being on average 150m and oneshot affairs. Imperial storm troopers would use their rifle as an SMG probably and would use it normally within 10 meters or something. Since storm troopers are just a movie army, US troopers would have more advanced and reasonable tactics

Yeah. The concept of the Imperial Army have its own distinct troops like the Navy was a nice idea, but except for Solo, all we ever see are Stormtroopers (to the point where they're even replacing Navy Troopers as security aboard Imperial ships!).

@@rclipse1985 Yeah, I think I was misremembering some old lore I heard. Are those other groups from the KOTOR time, I need to brush up on that. Old Sith seem way cooler.

They are in books and comics occasionally, but really they are most common in role playing games which most people don't play. The RPGs like "Edge of the Empire" and "Age of Rebellion" offer tons of detail about the Empire and its military, and Imperial Army is the most common empire soldier in those games. Stormtroopers are treated like mid level enemies that you usually don't face until you are a bit more leveled up.

@@Clumsy-vp3if Now that makes a lot more sense.

The SS weren't as well trained as the infantry of the Wehrmacht, but the blitzkrieg experts of the German military (called Sturmtruppen or stormtroopers) were shock infantry and some of the main carriers of the blitzkrieg so it hunk that they would be more ideal

No the correct term would be Heer which means army. Wehrmacht means Armed Forces which consisted of the Heer, Kreigsmarine and Luftwaffe.

The Communist Doggo Heer is the name of the modern German militaries Army, Wehrmacht is what the army was known as during WWII

@@TheDeathOmen yeah but the heer was still the actual military name just the Luftwaffe is still the modern German air force

@@TheDeathOmen nah m8, the equivalent of the Wehrmacht would be Bundeswehr, wich lets itself categorize in Luftwaffe, Heer and Marine

That comparison makes sense further if you know that the Wehrmacht and Galactic Empire's Army & Navy all wore gray uniforms outside of combat, whereas the Schutzstaffel and Galactic Empire Stormtroopers wore black uniforms outside of combat.

Except outside of a few W-SS units the Heer was largely better equipped and trained. Especially early in the war.
