    It's always bugged me how the clone trooper armor looks more advanced/modern than the stormtrooper armor even though it proceeded it. The clone commanders for example look way more sleek than the newer tk troopers.

    1:32 it's worth noting that later in the war, the colors are not represented by ranks, but rather their assigned units. For instance, the 501st Legion uses blue striping, and 212th Attack Battalion uses orange striping to name the few.

    You forgot to clarify that old republic troopers were actually human conscripts, but excelled in combat unlike the Empire's stormtroopers
  • @parunox1702
    I’ve always been a huge fan of the stormtroopers when I was young despite their “lack of aims” but seeing its evolution that dates all the way back from the old republic era makes them even more epic.
  • @diegog.4351
    Snow troopers weren’t originally thought up of by the Empire, snow variant clone troopers existed before them and they also look pretty similar to the galactic marine clones. Also, I think you could also say that the scout trooper armor was based off of the clone ARF troopers
  • @jaigger
    As a star wars fan it hurts to try to justify in your head that the stormtrooper armor was supposed to be an advancement of phase 1 and 2 when its obviously props from the 80's vs 2000's CGI armor
  • @Trey_816
    In legends, some clone troopers opted to stick with the phase one armor because of better protection.
  • @merc3875
    The empire also had purge troopers too, they work with the inquisitors to hunt down surviving Jedi of Order 66
  • I hope one day we get to see stormtroopers live up to their description of elite and ruthless soldiers instead of the mediocre lousy shots they're portrayed as
  • phase 1 clone armor was also heavy and hard to move in, but offered better protection against blasters, phase 2 was lighter but slightly less protected, thats why captain Rex modified his phase 2 armor and welded in phase 1 chest plate and visior in his armor

    Stromtrooper in ww1: "We have good aim" stromtrooper in SW: "What did You say?"
  • @toltori2445
    Those mud troopers are actually imperial mud jumpers of the imperial army and not the storm trooper corps
  • @sltrskid
    the old republic troopers looked awesome
  • @Tony_162
    When that storm trooper tumbled down the (bleachers?) I died of laughter 😂😂😂
  • Needed the scene from Robot Chicken with the Emperor on the escalator 'greeting' the Stormtroopers :)
