I swear they're weaker in Rogue One than in any other Star-Wars.
It took until the end of the movie for the clone of a renowned Bounty Hunter to hit a stationary target at point blank range.
>clone
Only the 501
what's the point of storm trooper armor in star wars if they all die from a single laser blast to any part of their body
>Clone of the Galaxy's Finest Bounty Hunter.
Casualcuck spotted
To survive space, and any other envrionmental condition.
That's what the prequels said of him, but then he dies like a bitch.
it looks cool as uniform and maybe the armor stops the laser from burning their internal organs completely, only knocking them out with horrible pain
They started cycling out the clones near the end of the clone wars, replacing them with cheap, shitty flash clones mass manufactured on a top secret facility on the moon of Coruscant while outlawing cloning of sentients without a permit and denying the Kaminoians said permit.
After the formation of the empire, open recruitment begins for storm trooper regiments of recruited humans, so you end up with a mixture of cheap, disposable flash clones and recruited humans of various degrees of training.
The armor, likewise, is the absolute bare minimum required to make them effective in combat, and is a far cry from the quality and more expensive Katarn armor of the clone wars. This drop in quality and boost in numbers can also be seen in TIE fighters, which no longer have shields of their own, but are deployed en masse. Storm Trooper armor is mostly just an environmental suit.
There's no consistency. When that blind asian was beating all of the stormtroopers, he was using one of them as a human shield to soak up blaster bolts. The trooper took multiple shots and was still grunting while being hit. The movie was ridiculous
>a blind man with a stick
a blind Jedi Knight with a stick and force mind skills, right
But the helmet clearly isn't sealed because of how easily it comes off, so that seems like pretty poor environmental protection.
its about space wizards
The armor is only there to look intimidating to civilians and soldiers don't have to worry about civilians attacking them when they're off duty in public because they can't recognize them
Just shows how shitty the Stormtrooper accuracy is
The storm troopers in the first leg of the movie were mostly CGI, which I hated. I'm surprised nobody talked about this.
In the Scarif battle, they are all 'umies though
A lot of troopers are probably knocked unconscious by blaster bolts since the armour is designed to absorb blaster fire
The "all stormtroopers are clones of Jango Fett" myth has to end. They explained specifically that clones age really fast so you can birth them and get them to fighting age as fast as possible. They don't live long enough to be used as stormtroopers by this time. The storm troopers of the later timeline are volunteers and conscripts. Mostly just regular average guys. You even hear them shooting the shit with each other about bullshit in regular American accents in both Ep 4 and Rogue One. No Jango accent
Accents aren't genetic, user.
Indeed, I felt they were the MOST useless in rogue one, waves and waves of them just to be killed so easily by the multicutural enrichment.
It is in star wars
Yeah but the black stormtroopers were way better
Krennics personal guard right? They actually managed to kill some of the rebels
yeah they are cannon fodder, they have been since 1977
>black stormtroopers
You're think of TFA I think.
No, he's talking about troopers with black armor, and yes, the Weapons Director mentions them as his personal guard, so they can be implied to have far better training and equipment.
Also, the ammo packs on their shoulders are apparently exact replicas of Nazi SS storm trooper ammo packs.
If Battlefront 2 is canon, then that's pretty much the explanation they give. By the time of the Battle of Endor only the 501st was the only battalion actually made up of clones. Every other battalion was mixed with regular people.
Battlefront 2 campaign ends with the destruction of the Rebel base on Hoth.
Nothing new. Those MP-40 pouches have been around since the first movie.
Did it? Fuck I could have sworn it got to the Battle of Endor. Either way, by that time there wasn't really much clones left alive.
Hey wasn't like Whitaker's character suppose to be a clone trooper?
>tfw the regular Storm troopers sucked but the elite Dark troopers started wrecking shit as soon as they were unleashed
Was operator as fuck.
>t. fatty who's never worn or moved around in armor
Lay off the videogames, faggot.
>The weaker
Actually the strongest, they killed the main cast, nothing even remotely similar happened in previous movies
He wasn't a Jedi, he wanted to be but was a blind fuck so they probably rejected him and told him to go fuck himself. I hope after he died they made him a honorary Jedi

To protect them from shrapnel, unarmed attacks, simple melee weapons, primitive projectile weapons, glancing hits from blasters and lightsabers, and low-power energy weapons such as the stun blasts the used in the opening scene of ANH.
Here's the simple truth: Star Wars is "Flanderization: The Franchise". In ANH, the stormtroopers were elite combat soldiers, who deliberately missed their shots to let Leia escape in a vehicle with a tracking device on it, so they could destroy the rebel base and nip the rebellion in the bud. In ESB, they have no preparation or answer for Lando's ambush, they don't even fight back or warn their comrades, they just hand over their weapons. In RoTJ, they couldn't deal with waddling midgets throwing rocks at their heads. In TFA, the heroes laugh and joke while they mow them down effortlessly, Han doesn't even have to look where he's shooting. In R1, you can run up to a fully equipped one unarmed, not get shot, do a shin kick to the armor plate on his hamstring, and he goes down like the armor wasn't there at all.
Likewise, in Star Wars, the Force was something mysterious and subtle, which intelligent people could plausibly believe wasn't real. In ESB, it's something you can lift a starfighter with or use to slap blaster bolts away. In RoTJ: lightning bolts. In TFA, just hearing that it's real is enough for a girl with no training to be able to use every power we've seen the good guys use before, and beat a trained and experienced force user in a lightsaber duel, while the trained villain effortlessly holds blaster bolts in the air like he's Neo from The Matrix.
Each successive entry to the franchise is made by people who understand less of what made the first one good, and think one-upping it is making something better.
Honestly I've watched all the star wars movies but it wasn't until this moment that I realized that Stormtroopers are the comic relief
>Why did black robot man seppuku?
>What kind of shockwave is so slow moving you actually see rocks falling down in front of it?
>Why was pilot man's insanity instantly cured?
>Why do none of the storm troopers even act trained?
>Why don't the Star Destroyer tier ships have ship scaled weapons?
>Why was a small tug ship able to overpower a Star Destroyer's engines? (not the disabled one)
>Why couldn't Vader just force pull that last ship back to him?
>Why did they use siege weapons (AT-ATs) to defend a static position?
>Why were X-wings able to shoot down AT-ATs when they couldn't do so on Hoth?
RIP to the nameless soldier who sprinted for the master switch without a second thought. The true hero of Rogue One.
