for me it's snowtroopers

>Stormtroopers
>don't fight in storms

First iteration of Imperial Dark Troopers.
Accept no substitute.

>>211443794 (OP)
You now remember that the sequel trilogy had salt troopers

do they switch out troopers every time they go to a new type of planet? or do they just put on different uniforms?

>>211443843
the Dark Forces ones? i dunno they seemed TOO chunky and just had lots of health.

>>211443856
There are several types of trooper for environment and biome; sand trooper, Sea trooper, magmatrooper, space trooper, riot trooper, heavy trooper; each have their own training and orientation.

>>211443844
You have to go down and taste the planet first before sending troops .

Do they have cunny troopers?

>>211443844
They look terrible but I can at least kind of see what they were going for.

>>211443879
no they must change outfits. the empire rushed over to hoth, didn't stop at snowtrooper base

>>211443794 (OP)
Reminder that Stormtroopers are a competent elite subset that are the equivalent of the Waffen SS, they are not regular troopers contrary to popular belief. The regular troops are the imperial army.

Bottom right has seen some shit

>>211443997
Nah he's just Indian.

>>211443794 (OP)
always liked the scoutr troopers lookwise

for me it's the seatrooper

I really dislike the bunch of Stormtrooper variations they made for Rogue One and Solo, with the exception of the Mimban Stormtroopers.
Old expanded universe did also have tons of Stormtrooper and clone trooper variations but at least they were recognizable as permutations of the original designs.
I would have preferred if the combat driver troopers were just up armored AT-ST drivers, sort of like the ones seen in Rebels, and if shore troopers could have just been beige scout trooper recolors with some regular Stormtrooper armor pieces thrown in, like a sort of a nod to clone scout troopers.

>>211443842
They are the storm

For me it's the inland river delta trooper

>>211443842
"Storm" is a verb in this context. They storm things

>>211444428
You don’t like the death troopers? Those are the only nu-wars designs I like.

>>211443844
These still look cool.
It really is hard to fuck up a stormtrooper outfit.

>>211443962
are they not trained for different environments, though? they're not just Stormtroopers in cosplay, they're Snowtroopers.

>>211444464
Flooded savanna troopers would destroy them tbf.

>>211443962
A single star destroyer can carry 23,759 troopers

>>211443976
but fillioni and co throw them in ever where.


Security guards
policing
riot control
border control at space ports
etc etc etc

they are everywhere

>>211444608
So they have at least 1000 troopers of every known environment/biome on hand if needed

Mostly change uniforms. They have certain special troops, but their training is mostly just survival, explosives or heavy duty.

For me, it’s battle droids

>>211443844
These were the Snowtrooper designs, for some reason they were also used on Crait.

>>211445033
fuck off prequelnigger

>>211443856
It's the 1 to 1 translation of the German term for shock troops since SW was partly supposed to be WW in space.

Funnily enough, the Russians started excessively using the same term now in the war in Ukraine.

that's how men (males) see anyway.

>>211444796
Exactly every star destroyer you have even seen has (for example) a ~1000 volcano troopers in a barracks just waiting rotation after rotation for a mission on a volcano planet.

>>211443794 (OP)
I just realized that snow trooper dudes are the only ones smart enough to utilize camouflage.

Why didn't the empire just build more k2 droids

>>211445504
it's a word with laser guns: the engineer who designed "robots that walk up and throw people" was fired.
but by then he'd already built the robots, so might as well use them.

>>211443976
>ralph mcquarrie designs really cool, distinctive sci-fi/fantasy armor for Vader's henchmen
>realismfags try to canonize lame gray space wehrmacht as actually being the empire's main forces and stormtroopers as being a tiny enclave of elite troops, despite stormtroopers being the only type of imperial soldier that shows up at any point in the OT
why do people want star wars to be less fantastical and aesthetically interesting?

Modern FPV drones completely killed all the discussion about warfare in old sci fi movies for me. It's all complete child's play now.

>>211445504
Military Droids where banned after the The clone wars. Although Security droids where still used for security details.

>>211444644
Don’t blame filoni when Lucas had them unable to hit anything in the ot

>>211445750
They let them escape from the death star because there was a tracking device on the falcon to lead them to the rebel scum base.

>>211445657
When you think about it, Holdo Maneuver is just a big FPV-drone.

>>211445774
Did they also let the heroes escape Bespin on purpose? Did they also lose to teddy bears on purpose? And that was Emperor's best legion!
Oh, let's ask George what he things about stormtroopers, shall we?
>They fought, but they weren't very good at it. That's why they kept missing.
LMAO

Stormtroopers are actually good shoots, we're just witnessing a particular film about heroes who didn't get shot.

it's like when people say "Ah, you see, if these physical constants were off by 0.0001, we wouldn't exist! Therefore, there is a God :)"
...no, we just exist, because of those numbers. we're also NOT in an existence where (anything else).

>>211444324

Tarkin Doctrine.

>>211446272
>Developed by the Imperial Department of Military Research,[1] stormtrooper armor was the standard issue armor of the Imperial Army's Stormtrooper Corps, and was manufactured on planets such as Gilvaanen.[11][3] It was introduced sometime after the conclusion of the Clone Wars, and was intended to replace the Phase II clone trooper armor. It was made up of 18 individual, overlapping plastoid composite plates and synth-leather boots which allowed for mobility, while also dispersing energy, protecting the wearer from glancing and low power blaster bolts and fire from Slugthrowers. A reinforced alloy plate ridge assisted the user's upper thigh, and a sniper position knee protector plate over a wearer's left knee helped improve accuracy when crouching. While most armor was fitted for humans, other forms were manufactured to fit other body types.[2] A soft click would inform the wearer of whether or not they had correctly attached the armor.[12]

>Stormtrooper armor was capable of protecting its wearer in extreme environments, including deserts, forest, icy wastelands, and limited exposure to the vacuum of space. The armor's torso plating featured environmental controls on its midsection, its black body glove was vacuum-sealed[1] and made of a smart material that could adjust to the wearers body heat and external temperature.[12] Though a rebreather pack was required for extended use in environments that lacked a breathable atmosphere or to filter potent toxins.[13] Troops in the field were allowed additional ammunition and comprehensive survival equipment, with backpacks that could feature field communicator sets, mortar launchers, and blaster components.[2]

>>211446197
I worked as a gonk droid in Disney got to meet a Disney rey(mini).

>>211446272
Stormtrooper armor was designed to diffuse and mitigate the effect of incoming blaster bolts to keep a majority of hits from being lethal

>>211444428
Why did they have beige-colored stormtroopers on Scarif but white stormtroopers on Tatooine?

>>211447629
fucking POGUE supply NCO forgot to order the right armour

>>211444428
I mostly liked the Death Trooper design, it was an upgrade over the lazy recolor they usually used for the special forces in the EU. The rest of those designs can fuck off though
>shoretroopers camouflage has bright contrasting colors

I'm the last thing from a star wars nerd but if most troops were regular soldiers and storm troopers were elite special forces they would be way more intimidating

bravo Lucas, bravo

>>211448228
It's even funnier when you remember this is all literally fan fiction written after the fact, meaningless merchandise, and Lucas never ever considered any of this canon, and none of this shit was in his mind when making the films.

>>211445623
I think it’s more to do with the empire having less money and influence to turn out real storm troopers, it’s only in the beginning the 501st were still real clones and fucking up everything in their path lead by vader. But with any war the success come manpower loss and externalities that even caused the decommissioning of Kamino. The administrative challenge of guarding the whole galaxy made them start recruiting regulars as storm troopers and eventually forming entire armies to keep pressure on lesser or far flung conflicts. But it’s a lot of prequel and eu stuff that I agree sound gay and take the fun out of a star war.

They broke up the silhouette for every one of those guns and in any case used older guns (mostly ww2 stuff) that weren't literally the most produced firearm in the history of the world

Boba's gun is not noticeably an Ak variant - its been modified enough that it is its own thing

>>211450156
Leaked image from Andor season 3

For me it’s the Grass Trooper and their Nubetian Lazma canon

>>211450156
>They broke up the silhouette for every one of those guns
T21 is literally just a Lewis gun with no mag

>in any case used older guns (mostly ww2 stuff) that weren't literally the most produced firearm in the history of the world
WWII only ended 30 years before ANH premiered. Also, what do you think the 47 in AK-47 stands for?

>>211451139
>Lewis gun with no mag
>broke up the silhouette for every one of those
Yeah ? That's what they did
The AKs silhouette is not meaningfully changed by the removal of the mag (which wasn't even removed, simply shortened) it's not an integral part of the look the way can be said for the Lewis gun

The furniture and receiver, the gas port are all ultra noticeable and iconic parts that were simply left as is or close to it

Are you implying that the Lewis gun or sterling is somehow as well known and iconic as the AK? You literally can't keep the Ak shape and make a good sci fi gun that doesn't look exactly like what the fuck it is

>>211448296
Why are they chinese?

I fucking loved Star Wars growing up, especially around the 1997 20th anniversary, and the kenner action figures. I saw all the prequels opening night, but now I couldn't give a fuck about Star Wars. I think I realized during the sequels it's just low brow commercial slop, even going back to the 1970s.

in what sense.
the gun in andor looks objectively uglier and less sci fi than the OT armorer's efforts and this is why.

Checked.
I could totally believe that, seeing as how the current trend for Hollywood and its nameless suits and investors and shareholders and what have you don't want to or refuse to take the risk of coming up with new and exciting ideas. They need to see the same thing that they saw that made the thing that they invested their money into in the first place be as safe and familiar as it was the first time they saw it through their 80s coke binges. Inasmuch as I can also believe Jar-Jar Abramovitch is an nepotistic-hire rodent who's sensibilities never matured past the age of 12 and had an loxist hatred and anti-white sentiments in his heart to call the first table reading "the whitest fucking room I have ever walked into" would intentionally crash a series that has themes and main characters that have Christ-like undertones.
I've been told by several people throughout my whole like that they didn't like and outright hate Star Wars, but I had no idea that sort of hatred could transcend to such a calamity to sabotage the brand from within. Like, TRULY despise it on a fundamental level to sabotage it in a way that they did and JJ had no problems pulling that trigger and probably smiled when he did.

>>211453396
Without looking at a wiki page;

Sandtroopers have a top level visor to prevent glare, seeing as they're deployed to sandy places. Aka, places where there's a fuckton of sun

Deathtroopers have advanced communications devices and HUDs/thermals in their helmets requiring the elongated look. They're also meant to look scarier for terror purposes.

Tank trooper is either purely aesthetic, or is designed with sound dampeners inside causing the wider look.

>>211468744
Sniffing his own farts and developing an ego over everyone acting like he's the only good thing about Disney Star Wars, even though he was always part of the problem.

>>211468851
What I don't like is the whole idea that he has sold everyone on that he is the heir apparent, that he just donned his little cowboy hat and just presented himself as the guy who is going to take the helm once George is gone and everyone just has to be okay with it. Like, other than his whole Ahsoka bullshit that has to be shoehorned into absolutely everything forever and ever, has he actually DONE anything else of substance for the franchise or is it just this fixation on this one character that now has to be the epicentre of every single narrative going forward?
I don't know about you but where I'm from? If you're not a cowboy, you don't dress like one.

>I don't know about you but where I'm from? If you're not a cowboy, you don't dress like one.
Exactly. Dude's a fat wop from Pennsylvania.
The fact that he's larping as something he's clearly not but could be, if he actually put in the effort in the right environment, should tell you everything you need to know about him.

>>211449686
it just makes the empire's ideals flawed in its inception and its short comings give credence to the rebel cause

All he had to do was let her die to Vader and it would've been a fine conclusion for her character, she serves as being the crack in Vader's shell that once Luke appears helps him turn him back to the light side. A good final (and otherwise ignorable) wank for the donut steel. But Filoni just couldn't help himself

>>211469741
Its also a bit of a slap in the face to George. Order 66 was this huge purge of the Jedi that basically eradicated them...except Ahsoka, of course.

sometimes new star wars designs arent completely garbage

>>211471089
Its gonna take me some time to get used to it, especially the roller skate boots, but I like the shotgun. You don't get many shotguns in Star Wars.

Unbelievably kino.

>>211471012
>except Ahsoka, of course
and every other jedi introduced since Disney's acquisition, seriously there's like 7 or 8 other survivors now that are all master level and push vader to his limits and the rebellion wouldn't exist without but are somehow completely forgotten about by the time of the OT

They're "less lethal", for humane crowd control, of course.

No love for the old Death Star shovel heads?

In hindsight ... the Empire representing white people always kind made sense.

>>211460777
>do you think the higher ups were specifically forcing JJ and Rian to rip off ANH and ESB?
they were made by Gen X retards so there was no way they were not going to be dogshit remakes of the OG star wars films

>>211443842
have you seen the sandstorms on tatoonie and snowstorms on hoth?

>>211443794 (OP)
turning these guys from refular goons into some kind of spec ops ultra elite corps was one of eu's biggest mistakes. nothing in star wars media indicates that they're some sort of special, they're always basic bitch enemies and the supposed "regular" imperial army started appearing only in disney movies

It's okay bro. You grew up and can now recognize prop guns. Movies losing their magic is part of adulthood.

What really grinds my gears is that the actual elite dudes are supposed to be the ones like the Dark Troopers, or the red robe guys that acted as bodyguards for good ol' Palpy Boy
You can't just have elites upon elites upon elites upon elites upon elites
It gets confusing and retarded if you use way too many "elites"
To quote Syndrome
>When everyone's super, no one will be

>>211445107
they started using it centuries ago since the russian word for assault is a calque of german sturm retard

For me, it's the Dark Troopers

>>211475801
On paper it makes it sound like our heroes are doing cool shit and overcoming odds if you're basically fighting the Marines of the Empire. In execution, the fights never seem especially perilous and the guys come across like scrubs.
I wouldn't blame the EU since I'm pretty sure it was in the books before and even Obi Wan bigs them up a little bit by saying they're super precise. But also it's obvious that Lucas just wanted his minions to have a cool design and a bunch of guys in off-brand nazi uniforms wouldn't be as cool.

>Make evil Empire have cool looking grunts
>Make the good guys look so ragtag they look boring and ugly
Hate it.

>>211463508
>all similarities are explicitly intentional
This anon gets it.
Bitching about the rebel cell inspired by Lenin and Stalin robbing a bank carrying a commie weapon is about as sensible as bitching about the Imperial forces carrying weapons of British and German early to mid 20th century weapons.
The issue - if there is one - is everyone recognises an AK and so screams I Know Thing while the amount of prequel kids and younger barely even know what a Sterling is.

>>211445657
They could always pull a Gundam and minovsky particles to explain why they don't use unmanned stuff.

>>211445805
Honestly as a kid I remember thinking "what if you just got a really heavy starship and shot it across space at another planet, space war would be absolute hell and there's nothing you could really do because the likelihood of detecting it is miniscule"
Though I probably stole it from X-men

Warm Troopers are the funniest

how would the salt troopers look like? design their outfit
