Ewoks are obviously the best infantry since they can kill Stormtroopers in 1 hit with a rock.

Clones : Gonna take more than 2 bullets in the chest to kill me Stormtroopers : ow a rock, guess ima just die 🤷🏼‍♀️

Infantry strengths: Stormtroopers: overwhelming firepower Droids: unrelenting assaults Rebels: mobile and adaptable Clones: anything you can do, I can do better

“State of the art armor” Captain Rex who got shot in the chest by a sniper: Laughs in superior armor

Of course the clones are the best, they warn you about wrist rockets.

Stormtroopers: superior weapons and state-of-the-art armor Clonetroopers: best training and team logistics Battle droids: overwhelming strength in numbers Rebels: S P U N K

"the B1 droids are so bad it's almost funny" Correction: " the B1 droids are so bad it *is* funny"

It was kind of unfair for the seppies. Their tactics focused on overwhelming the enemy with insane amounts of troops, rather then smaller amounts of better troops.

The rebels have the best armour, it’s called plot armour.

The CIS Battle Droids are the best because they can say “Roger Roger” without sounding stupid.

Stormtroopers are accurate so long as they are just shooting at an extra

One thing to consider about the storm troopers is that a lot of their misses can be chopped up to failing to hit the heroes, who need to survive. And if they happen to be force sensitive they can just kind of tell the Blaster bolt to miss. As far as a fighting force goes they’re well trained, heavily protected enough that some downed storm troopers just need to be rescued, and they’re infamously accurate in universe. It’s just hard to shoot a Jedi

Jedi:wears a coat and killed in 5-6 shots Stormtrooper: wears full armor and gets killed with 1 shot

The Stormtroopers are only bad in the movies because the main characters have plot armor. In the deeper lore, they are much better.

People tend to forget that Stormtroopers beat the Rebels in the battle of Tantive IV even though the rebels had better positioning and the stormtroopers had to enter through a choke point one or two troopers at a time whilst having all the rebels pointing their guns at them.

I mean of course clone troopers would win. They are the only army that made someone shed a tear RIP clone trooper 99

I'm sure everyone knew it would be the clones before watching the video.

Personal opinion: the clones. Reason: better training, better armor, and better equipment.

Haven't even watched the video yet, but there's no way it isn't the Clones.

I think the battle droids have a big advantage in the fact that they can follow the orders of their general so well, in fact, better than any other unit mentioned above. I'd also imagine they have much better accuracy for they all use a standardized blaster which's recoil pattern is embedded in their code thus making it easier for them to control it. I'd also imagine their aim tracking and accounting for bullet speed is far superior to any of the above-mentioned forces due to being able to digitally calculate it in a matter of milliseconds. Their mechanical reflexes are also probably much better than those of any living soldier. They also have no sense of fear of death making them much more fearless. They also can continue fighting after sustaining minor yet painful injuries that will disable a living soldier(ex: a shot to the leg will get a clone out of the battle due to pain but the droid can continue fighting as long as he can move it the same). The only droid's real weakness is their inferior blasters, vulnerability to EMPs, and not having as smart of a tactical command droid. In my opinion, the droids are above the rebels.

Isn't it funny that clone troopers basically went through their rebellious teenage phase right around the time Order 66 was handed down lol?

In terms of deployment,republic seems to be the quickest.

Clone troopers can actually hit their target. And they don't have to turn their blasters in for inspection.

Droids: oh they have 1,000,000 ammo? Alright captain send in 1,000,001 droids

SUGGESTION: "Which Faction had the best Tactics/Strategy? Rebels: Hit and run tactics Empire: Fear/intimidation CIS: Massive swarms of troops Republic: Highly trained and bred from birth troops

I would think the early clone Stormtroopers would be the best. They have the training of a clone with the gear of the Empire.

I think droids should be number 2. One thing that makes them compleatly different is that droids were manufactured and in a very fast pase so you dont really have to worry about losses as long as your manufacturing is covered. They didnt have to be better than their enemy if they simply overwhelmed them. And you have to remember they fought the number 1 a very long time so the republic didnt have an easy victory.

Didn’t you think that *sand* is the best infantry? Like seriously even ANAKIN hates the sand!

“They have armor that provides protection” *Shows footage of Stormtroopers dying from one shot in the chest*

The clones have the ultimate advantage: they are brothers. They all care about each other and they are all a family.

"Storm troopers have armor that protects them" Rex in rebels "this armor doesn't do anything"

I liked the clone troopers armor they were color coded and looked sharp. The storm troopers armor was bulky and the rebels gear looked like the guys who go camping in someones back yard and half their gear came from a yard sale.

The Techno Union. They will defeat all with their sick beats.

FOR THE REPUBLIC WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS

Storm troopers are very underrated. They’re made fun of for their “bad aim.” But they were actually pretty good units, and are decently elite. If you’ve watched generation tech, they have better aim than any other troops in real life. Hail the empire, and long live the emperor.

People: Stormtroopers are terrible at aiming! Plot armor: *Am I a joke to you?*

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="105">1:45</a> *Death by Ewok throwing a rock* "YEARS OF ACADEMY TRAINING WASTED"

Placing the separatists last in this list, made me extremely ROGERED.

Love your videos and love that u always tag the artist. Favourite Star Wars RU-vid channel.

I should be doing homework yet here I am watching a video about starwars military

*reads tittle-immediately thinks* CLONES FOR THE WIN!!!

It has to be the Republic. Their infantry were literally bred for combat, and they excelled. The Empire, though just regular people, is a close second. That is solely because they were regularly trained like an actual army. Plus, if you ignore the pop culture version of the Empire, they had the best standing army at the time. The CIS had weak droids at the beginning in the B1, but that was fixed in the B2. Also, they had extremely large numbers and the fact that they were programmed for combat helps. The Rebels were space terrorists. Every unit had its own organization, recruitment, and training because there was no set standardization across their military. That is why rebel forces routinely lost to imperial ground forces. So, my order would be, from best to worst, Republic, Empire, CIS, and Rebels.

Great video. I feel tho that the rebels have so much variety in their pool of skilled persons. Like a rebel trooper could have been "recruited" from an experienced pirate crew or have been Dave from down the road.

Another factor seperating the clones from the others is that their genetics are those of perfect wariors. If a clone were to go to the imperial academy he would be better than almost any of the other troopers there because of his genetics. For example, clones cannot experience physical stress. They also fight alongside the jedi, giving them new and creative ideas of how to win a battle. So yeah, I too think the clones were the best of these.

Y'all see he was killed by BOMBASTIC at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="435">7:15</a> He's a battlefront player who makes some pretty funny battlefront fails videos

The CIS does have the highest potential though, all you need is a brilliant programmer...

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="195">3:15</a> DUDE, HE WAS DEFEATED BY BOMBASTIC, what an honor

Did any of you notice he got killed by bombastic when he was talking about the clones

Clones, no questions asked. They took out Jedi whilst no other faction can.

Storm troopers: high quality armor Also stormtroopers: dies in one hit

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="71">1:11</a> In my opnion, the reason why the imperial walkers were so boxy compared to at-te at-rt bla bla bla, was because the republic went for functionality and shape, the empire, meanwhile, went for more of a intimadation tactic, a full size at-at firing lasers at me would certainly scare me, much less a Incom Snowspeeder, who is racing TOWARDS it.

Stormtrooper: I’m going to go to the best academy for 10 years! *10 years later* Stormtrooper: Lord Vader! Where is the trigger for my weapon?!

"The Stormtrooper armor provides protection" Lando with a little bow: *Are you sure about that?*

I can't believe I watched this like 2 years ago not knowing you'd become one of the best hockey youtubers 🤣

Imagine an infantry of IG-88 with perfect teamwork.

Rebels would be in last. CIS would take their place, and that's because, while the droids are stupid, they are durable and semi accurate.

Stromtroopers are just affected by plot armor... poor souls.

I love the “Sun” song playing, such a great track.

I like to think the separatists could have easily implemented an upgraded, really good, hunter-killer AI into every battledroid essentially turning them into terminators. They just need to upgrade armor and probably movement (although they appear to traverse pretty fast). B1's look highly modular as well.

I'm just disappointed that the B2 Super Battle Droids weren't included in consideration, considering they made up a very large chunk of the CIS army.

I think this answer is way to obvious

I’ve been watching your videos all day

Insta like when heard "Clone trooper is the best in my opinion"

It’s going to be the clones. They are the best trained and just the coolest.

Republic. Duh

I just discovered you and I Really love your Videos! Just subscribed!

You know what would also be interesting? Comparing indidual units (or whole armies) of Star Wars in terms of a cost- benefit calculation, if that's even possible. I have the feeling that the battle droid wouldn't be so bad as it much cheaper and faster to produce one than to train a soldier or even genetically engenieer one. And if a clone trooper actually costs as much ressource as, I don't know, 20 battle droids, the droids might actually be the better pick.

Clones in my mind are just all around the best at everything there coolest as well .. plus they have the best long range blaster I see no real situation where clones come in second but that me

Clones

I completely agree, 100%. I think Stormtroopers are several underated and that they only lose because of rebel plot armor

I agree with your opinion, the clones were bred from birth to be killing machines. Their armor was very good and weaponry was also very good. Also with the Empire, the reason that they aren't very precise with the main characters is because of plot armor. Other than that, the stormtroopers of the empire were quite good. All in all, I agree with your opinion

‘Stormtroopers have state of the art armour’ They got killed by bows and arrows

You should do which faction has the best "special weapons" (things like the electro proton bomb, imperial bio weapons, or the defoliator)

Closer to get a drink and some and some popcorn to watch his one of his videos he’s the best I promise he’s the best he tells me everything about Star Wars

Stormtroopers don't suck at aiming,they just fire warning shots

“Set your guns to stun.” Is all you need to know about storm troopers and their “inaccuracy”

I think the B-2 battle droids would be more suitable for the trooper category. (I say this purely because the galactic battleground game had that has the base trooper of the confederacy)

I love the fact that he uses bombastic clips

Did anyone else notice around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="435">7:15</a> that the battle droid who killed him was named bombastic?

Did anyone else realize that when on hoth he just killed muselk

“Storm troopers are trained for years” Yet the giant target of Chewbacca with c3PO on his back still doesn’t get shot

May the fourth be with you Eckhart!🎉

“Focusing on Hit and Run attacks” Tim Zahn’s terminology: “Am I a joke to you?”

HA

Any infantry fighting with the good guys is the best. Plot armor. Stats, lore, and all that garbage comes second to plot armor.

I'd be interested in seeing how many B1 droids it would take to kill 1 Rebel soldier.

Ranking the best warriors in star wars. Jedi/sith (depending on the time period) mandolorian, clone trooper, stormtrooper.

The clone troopers are the only guy with a high main character kill count lol

I think clones and droids are both best because they both are born/build to fight

“Phase two armor is a step down from Storm Trooper armor” Storm trooper(Rebels): gets shot once and is either dead or knocked out Rex(Rebles): gets shot twice, once center mass and once in the face, and is slightly dazed

"They also wear state of the art armor which not only provides protection," The Armor: **Cracks like stale playdough**

I have been reading the novel Twilight Company. From what I have gathered from that book the Rebels recruited just about anyone that's willing to take arms angst the Empire. A lot of these people have never even held a blaster and are sometimes only given a crash course in how to use their weapons. The best recruits for the Rebellion would be those from planet deference forces or former Imperial Stormtroopers.

The reasons the Empire is ranked so low as compared to the Republic is because the Republic was meant for total war for an undefined period of time whereas the Imperial army was meant more for peace keeping before the Galactic Civil War. Their vehicles were meant more to inspire fear in and subjugate local populations rather than to wage total war. If the Empire had been ready and aware for total war against the Rebels they would have been much better prepared.

Which not only provides protec... *gets hit in foot by rock* *dies*

Me at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="150">2:30</a> am barely awake looking for Star Wars vids

Everyone: CLONE TROOPERS are the best The Actual Best *e* *w* *o* *k*

I frickin' love this channel! It has Halo and Star Wars videos! (My two favorite sci-fi universes ever)

Great list and well thought out. It seems the rebel troops are comparable to the pockets of resistance fighters in Europe during WWII. Not as well trained, equipped, supported as German troops but had more skin in the game. Fighting to liberate their homes and protect families, loved ones, etc seemed to give people more of a reason to fight. That’s what came to mind when comparing the rebels and empire forces.
