Why Imperial Scout Troopers Were Kinda A-Holes 

Did you know... that scout troopers had lighter armor that provided better mobility?

Because they were on the spaceball 1??

They were vibe checking baby Yoda greatest thing I ever heard

@@jamesfischer8667 I wasn't aware that stormtroopers had armor.

At about 1:10 you said their armor was customized and painted but later in the video you say the exact opposite and they they couldn't and stick out like sore thumbs. Which is it?

Same, the speeders are what had me

thats exactly what i though bro

Scout Troopers are chads confirmed

Epic chad scout trooper vs cuck rebel mercenary

Wait in the beginning he said they had camo armor but then said that they had a disadvantage, which was that they were stuck with white armor

Reminds me of the chatting portion of Halo Headhunters

Right? Haha, it was legit just like Marine Grunt conversations.

Yess plz!

I feel like they found two E4s, put them in scout trooper armor, and told them to act like normal junior enlisted soldiers.

I understand that reference

Good thing it wasn't.

@person merc Comics, you can. The others? IDK.

To be fair, there's only so much you can put in the films

@@alexanderthegreat6682 Right. I am just pointing out much of what people love aren't even in the movies. All of mandalorian culture/stories came from a character who was barely in the movies but people thought looked cool.

@@sliceofcheese3890 Well it wasn't just that people thought he looked cool, there was a *lot* of factors that created the love for Boba Fett, but yeah ultimately your point is made. Hell, the Old Republic era and the Sith Wars and Cold War and all of those conflicts that make up that setting are part of the most *beloved* of Star Wars by many fans and there's not a single movie or show about it, all relegated to books, comics, and games.

In Star Wars universe, it was not much useful in space and was only really effective in a dense jungle which stormtroopers were 1st designed to bring fear and a sign of presence that they're there, and 2nd they were suppose to storm an area swiftly, so they were hardly a prolonged conflict on the land unless you consider the troops that occupy a planet.

Funnily enough the clone scout trooper had camo... And they had the same armor as the imperial scouts

@@cossaizy6309 as clone wars were more longer campaigns on many planets they would be camo units and arrange of other units as this is my personal opinion, but the Republic allowed independence for each legion when it comes to their armour and how they paint it.

Camos are for pussies

They got annoying after EVERYONE followed the trend

@@geetslys lmao yeah. baby yoda himself is an interesting character, but when it was just "insert baby yoda here, laugh now" it was so insufferable. love the vid, btw!

@@internalport8776 exactly

scout troopers are kings

I wouldn't know as Disney plus isn't available in the UK untill like April. And they wonder why people pirate things.

At least they hit the grounds. That's more then what standard storm troopers can hit.

Justin Lozada That’s funny 😆

@Spunky 1608 You’re profile picture is the definition of perfection. Für Preußenland!

Deutschland Über Alles I remember you . You asked about me in that wolf wolf wolfe video. And yes it is. Prussia is great. Fur PreuBenland!

Claxs what can i say? Lil yoda didn’t pass the vibe check,

Camouflage was for certain places, like Kashyyyk, in other places they stood out because they’re wearing full white

@@geetslys *laughs in Endor* sounds like just plot hole

the white armor works in snow

@@chondracoffer446 I don't see any snow on Endor

Joe Allen _yOu FoOl!_ They obviously came from Endor’s poles!

The Imperial scout troopers had exclusively white armour, the Republic clone scout troopers would get issued different armor depending on the environment and were allowed to customize it, and the black armored scout troopers are Imperial storm commandos which are a highly specialized elite branch of the Stormtrooper corps.

Black Armored Scout Troopers are Storm Commandos, a different type of trooper, they just wear black scout armor.

I'm pretty sure black is only if you're a commando. Otherwise it's probably always white so you're kind of effed unless it's a snow planet.

@@theempiredidnothingwrong3227 Some Scouts wore green armor.Sniper Troopers wore gray armor.

@@moderndemon84 We're talking imps not republicans right

Hey if it means they'll be punish more for hitting baby yoda then yes.

50 isn’t elderly though that’s basically middle aged

That’s still the age of a baby compared to a human so nah he’d be like 500 years old and be an old man

Which do you think is a worse crime, punching a baby or punching an old man?

@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly I'm going to assume you meant punching, not puncturing, a baby. Either way, punching/puncturing the baby is a lot worse.

They were

They use Mouse droids so if you tripped over one you might fall down a shaft.

If they stopped working as janitors they could take over

Cuz they’re secretly feeding dianogas mate! 😂😂😂😂😂

On white sand in the full moon with fog that shit will make you invisible. Rest of the time might as well be a walking glowstick.

Blends in well if your hiding in a small shrub in a frozen tundra.

Honestly after it began to fade and even got a little dirty, acus worked really good. I personally thought OCPs looked ugly. Also ACUs are more comfortable and breathable in my opinion, ocps always felt like plastic to me. I know the skorpian pattern were more like acus. I think if they hadnt picked the tan in acu pattern and instead picked a brown or dark green, the universal camo pattern would have been fine.

You guys do know ACU stands for Army Combat Uniform, right? ACU isn't a camouflage pattern...

Jackdaw Yes I am aware, but it is still a shit uniform. Almost as dumb as navy blueberries.

But can they hit what they are shooting at?

@@johnnyd5537 like that one time in Mando where they can't hit that can

THEY DIDNT HAVE THE HIGH GROUND GUYS.

@Gaius Wyrden captain rex states the complete opposite but ok

@Gaius Wyrden the empire has always been shit inb4 the EU the movies take priority and they show stormtroopers as being completely incompetent

Yeah, apparently those furry little bears were surprisingly strong for their size. And apparently, they had a taste for human flesh. It was probably less embarrassing, and more terrifying for them at the time.

Next time you watch ROTJ, pay attention to what the Ewoks are wearing. They're formidable

@@dungeonguy88 they also have thermal-range infrared as part of their visual spectrum. An astounding sense of smell, and spend their whole lives surviving in a jungle with fearsome animals at least as deadly as they are.

Here's a thought, remember all the soldiers at the bunker who survived near the end? Zoom forward to the ending celebration, and you'll notice their are no prisoners in sight but their helmets are being used for drums. So where did they go? Well you'll also notice there is meat cooking...

Endor was the empires vietnam

Do you know how expensive those cleaning droids are? It's coming outta your pay

Crashes into 4 stormtroopers at the water cooler killing them instantly: Lol GG EZ

ya only a total of one range trooper died on screen through out the hole series edit: this also means the movies

@@andrewaftontheandroidhedge2780 Range Troopers were simply built different.

Ala Tyrakowska they’re ok, just parry them. The commanders are annoying tho bc you can’t one shot them

@@christophergovan2136 you're right, I meant the commanders

Geetsly's, dude, Thanks for two hearts under 1 video. Love your content

At least they can finally hit their target.

Commanders are the difficult ones. I can beat up a handful of scout troopers in Master. But commanders. I can die to them in Grandmaster depending if it's 2+

He even says in the video that they have batons. It fits better in the game than a sniper would anyways.

Jedi Spartan 38 half the basic enemies in TFU2 woulda cucked Cal before he got halfway through the game 😂

Jedi Spartan 38 pretty sure it was also because of the timeline since it was 5 years after Order 66. a good amount of Jedi still existed so I guess to combat that they gave them batons.

Scout troopers could be given different weapons if the situation deemed it necessary If they need to fight in melee then they will be given stun batons If they have to be snipers then they will be given an E11-S or DLT19-X sniper rifle

They also had orange pauldrons sometimes to denote rank as well

Uh, head canon and remarks on other videos . The white armor lets the troopers blend in with the Imperial issued smoke grenades , also the armor gloss polish is sticky which allows dust, grit, dirt, and sand to better cover the armor in heavy combat. Creating ad-hoc camouflage. Bad writing.....

kris palermo Doesn’t work all the time. You can only carry so many smoke grenades. They also only work so many times. Still, this tactic sounds like it would be pretty effective.

think it was really just a fear factor

brandon zhang that’s what the white armor was always supposed to be about. 

@@chengzhou8711 youtube " Generation Tech " covers storm troops with a Pro Imperial view. Great challenge. Other than the " Bad writing," all all the Behind the Scenes reasons with filming bugets. I had been reading Star Wars novel since I was a teenager in the early 1990's. In one novel Chewie really toss a storm trooper good over a railing and the writer wrote that guy's whole trip rolling down the step hill side to the bottom. During the Rebels escape they ended running pass where the storm trooper landed. As the trooper came to after being knock out, he rose covered like a compost pile with small tree branches sticking to him. Chewie was so startled he drop hes riffle and ran off ! Han yells at Chewie for being a coward and before he goes to shot the trooper. The guy drops to his knees and pukes in his helmet. So Han lets him live. As a 13 year old into Larp & Hema, with MMA. We made a lot of card board, duck tap body armor. A muddy corn field with a leafy hill side can turn anyone into an unrecognizable mess. We even painted the armor White and see who can cover it up the fastest in mud, dirt, and leaf. And " playing " army in the woods/ forests around farmland, more than a few times had to deal with slipping and sliding on lose ground cover, falling hard on my hip. In movies they never mention tripping on animal crap. And some of the stains do not wash out. Side note: In comics and movies you never see the lead characters with a helmet on. Cause the director / artist wants the viewers to see the lead hero.

If you take a closer look their are not even wearing their equipment right.

They’re likely the Griff and Simmons of the core

@@N120Xeno well I dont think they'd care since the empire is gone and look at the stormtroopers in the mandalorian show even the stormtroopers look dirty like their a former shell of themselves

They also shook their weapons like it was broken and something did sound😂

Aye, with Storm commandos with black armour variant

Internal Port same

@WoolEagle11 I am beginning to think that there is a serious lack of need- and pointless specialisations for Stormtroopers. We definitely need more.

WoolEagle11 storm troopers are cool and shadow troopers maybe snow trooper but the best goes to scouts

@@Wooly4 My favourite is the beach trooper from Lego star wars lol

Yes. Because they are so well funded and skilled, they become hot heads who are entilted and chads. This is litterally Illinois' Lacrosse team.

Fractured Frame Same.

That was them just being a dick again

I just want a Scout Trooper Officer.

Scout Trooper yes

I want scout assault trooper

@@captainprice1966 Yeah, we just need the skin in general.

True

I love Grogu, but that scene was comedy gold

Agreeable

I'd watch that

@@jacencade4019 Ever wonder why we're here?

Insanity 64 Probably a plot hole, but in universe it's probably because they can be so far away they don't need camouflage, blaster rifles they would use are basically limited to how far they can see unobstructed if I remember correctly

I'm sure it just came down to budget in the original trilogy and a need for them to look like stormtroopers. That said, how awesome would it be if you gave the scouts some kind of digital camouflage system that dynamically changed to match the environment?

Let's be real here George Lucas was far from your career soldier who would know things like proper camouflage. Or white in general is a bad color. Now that's not meant to say he should've been. If you want stories with some hardcore well thought out military force it's called military scifi or you could read memoirs from actual wars if you really want realism. I who does infact read both strongly encourage you do. But Lucas wasn't writing military sci-fi he was going for a space opera so most likely he didn't go that far into imperial military lore as to have a reason to not use camouflage. So there probably isn't an in universe reason which is why we have fan theories. Because logically speaking I could go as far to argue that even clones are tactically dumb for using vibrant colors on their already bright white armor and making their commanding officers to distinct from normal soldiers, making it easy for a sniper to pick them off. Which quite honestly takes the fun out of it so let's not go done that road.

This is a case of ideology trumping practicality. The Empire was built upon the idea of ruling through fear, which was best emphasized through their distinctive, intimidating designs. Stormtroopers were trained to be fanatics who would run headlong into enemy fire without hesitation, wouldn't slow down to aid their fallen comrades, and who would show no mercy to the enemy. They were living terror weapons. To that end, the Empire wanted them to be highly visible to better demonstrate these qualities. The problem, as the war went on, was that their enemies became less afraid and more focused in fighting them. This could be connected to the destruction of the first Death Star, which badly undermined the Empire's image of being unstoppable.

What if they’re fighting on Hoth

Why Do I picture a storm trooper nco or commander getting ready to sleep for the night. Then hearing speeders go by and then having the expression -_- lol.

Or a hole spinoff where they end up on adventures to find out it's all been a simulation.

Movie Rated B For: BLAST ‘EM

@@Wooly4 Nah, we gotta play Blood Gulch Blues for them.

Then we meet their gruff, war-hungry sergeant.

@@jamespocelinko104 Oh hell yes.

I was just saying the same thing.

Buuut they have more exposed soft body armor.. meaning melee and physical weapons will be way more effective against them plus then they don't get the energy dispersion effect of the full standard kit. Plus a better helmet will cost more so... If you're making a massive army cheaper semi effective gear for your troops with will be better In the long run.

@@4hands456 Just do the normal stormtrooper kit but with a scouthelmet then you get full body protection

@@nighthunter3039 this is some galaxy brain shit right here

Stormtrooper helmets are outfitted with a wide array of sensor tech and additions to improve vision of the wearer along with a functional HUD. Though the eye lenses my be small the helmet can outweigh this and due to smaller weak points offers a better protection overall. And Star Wars Helmets in general have small or thin lenses. Mandalorian or Clone helmets are no exception

Persona 6 I know right? lol 😆

That would make so much sense.

He was an Imperial Sharpshooter that's why the armor was diff when he snuck on that base and saw his old commander

J-Russ Shhhh.. no, no... let them race. °^°

I mean, against characters that didn't have plot armor, they could fight pretty well.

actually stormtroopers were the best shots in the galaxy, they simply were not given the right light

@@gonk1244 and helmets too

Ivan edits I love the original battlefieldfronts so much

Dumb and ANNOYING

I just force push or pull them

@@bandit5747 It's more satisfying to throw the lightsaber at them. But pushing them is also great

Ala Tyrakowska the best about the game is pushing troopers off cliffs.

But it's fun to throw them into the venus flytraps in kashyyyk

Get over it

They have to be issued camo, but usually aren't.

That made me sub too

It was estimated around a couple billion. (Large galaxy) 25000 Star destroyers and 9000 troopers per one so those are the ones stationed in the navy.

With Disney Star Wars,I would say about 300.Everyone else already defected...

@@marrqi7wini54 That's interesting by chance do you know in comparison a stormtrooper to rebel soldier ratio. Kind of going done the rabbit hole but out of curiosity.

@@moderndemon84 Look I not extremely fond of the acquisition but these Disney jokes stopped being funny long ago.

This has been debuked multiple times but I'll tell you. 1. The real answer is that tbe characters cant die 2. They pretended to miss so they could track down the rebel base 3. They were, they absolutely demolished in the tantive IV, and can kill any non main character

@@bandit5747 But in the mandalorian they clearly show thier poor accuracy when trying to hit that piece of junk. Like I know the Empire is supposed to be all powerful but damn they need at least an episode where they are not so incompetent. Kill a few main characters, go Game of Thrones on that shit, it will make for better story telling and give an actual sense of fear when the characters get into a firefight.

The Joker im pretty sure thats due to the design of their blasters. i think those pistols are powerful, but at the cost of reduced accuracy.

Because the writers at Disney wanted to make the joke that Troopers can’t hit anything. That’s why they suck in the Mandalorian. Lol

I guess stormtroopers trained on lothal are of really poor quality
