The red-armored Sith stormtroopers were the culmination of Darth Sidious' vision of the perfect soldier: a living extension of the Emperor's will. In its ultimate push toward galactic conquest, the First Order readied the army of Sith troopers, whose existence was unknown even to most within the regime.

The shadow troopers are one of my personal favorite variants and I wish they were utilized in the movies.

The Dark troopers phase zero were my favorite and still one of favorite soldier designs of the empire when I saw them in SWBFII (2005)

The Shadow Troopers have been my favorite type of Storm Troopers since I read out about them. I can see Shadow Troopers being used as guard detail but with their cloaking devices activated. But what catches my eye about the Death Troopers are the arc blasters and what they can do to an enemy, to me, its like artificial Force Lightning at one's finger tips.

If I had to pick, unless faced with a specific situation, I'd have either Nova Troopers or Death Troopers with me.

Rumour has it there are even legendary Stormtroopers who can actually aim

There are times I wish they had done a better job reflecting that Stormtroopers were elites, and that there were soldiers beneath them; I've had a number of instances, DMing Star Wars RPG, where I've had to explain that the white-clad soldiers were not rank and file, or the typical trooper you'd see on any street corner. Saying that, I often enjoyed the flexibility of the Trooper Corps, when wd got to see such elite variants of the elites. One of my own personal favorites, from Legends, is the Spacetrooper; an advanced Stormtrooper basically wearing a tank. They could probably stand on the exterior of a ship, and serve as impromptu weapons emplacements, like some of the more powerful Destroyers, from the Clone Wars era, but really they could fly over to a capital ship, mag-attach to its hull, blast through, board, and kill anything inside. Their game stats were superior, in several ways, to a TIE fighter, and they were pretty powerful.

I prefer a combined arms squad of Death Troopers, and Shadow Troopers. Just equip DTs with Cloaking devices and I can have an ultimate Death Squad of Hitmen under my command.

Death Troopers are my favorite troopers from the Empire

The Death Troopers we saw on Scarif are one of my Most Definite favorites Really been enjoying your content here throughout this year and I'm looking forward towards more in 2023 Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year, The Stupendous Wave

I'd love to so more action from death troopers, shadow troopers, and nova troopers. The fact we never see them, let alone doing there job leaves them as mysteries as how effective they truly are or how they actually operate

I actually hoped for the Purge Troopers.

I prefer the death troopers loyalty is what really matters. So Long as have the authority always server and protect you

Which Sith Order was better: Rule of Two or Rule of One ?

Death Troopers are hands down my favourite

Great video on the types of stormtroopers and one thing I wonder about is howcome death troopers don’t show up in the original trilogy I know the obvious answer would be because they weren’t thought of at the time but that still makes me wonder about it because I feel like Star Wars can and should be a lot better than it currently is

Wow! This was amazing!

I think storm commandos deserve 1st place in such list.

I remember a PC Strategy game had a special type of Storm Trooper that were Force Sensitive and could make at least minor use of The Force.

If I was a Moff, which would I trust with my life? None of them. I'd hire high-quality bounty hunters, like the Hutts did. Look how effectively even middling-quality bounty hunters chew through just about all of these types of troopers.

I want to see a Star Wars Beastiary dealing with such creatures as wampas, tauntauns, rancors, reeks, and other deadly creatures I havent seen a single video explaining wampas

Great video.

Great video

What the hell is a stromtrooper

Specialized stormtroopers are epic

You missed my favorite trooper, the Storm Commandos

3:15 meanwhile Andor: I'm About to End This Man's Whole Career

Long live the Empire

I remember Shadowtroopers from Legends are force-sensitive soldiers who wield lightsabers...

Lucasarts/Disney really need to put in more focus to the stormtrooper corp as they've covered nearly every other imperial era faction, as for the question poised in this video though it'd be the Dark troopers as seen in the force unleashed as they were by far my personal favorite design even if they were technically droids

Love you’re vids man

Are Nova Troopers actually cannon because if so I'm in love, GLORY TO THE EMPIRE!!!

The imperial shocktroopers from the ps4 version of Star Wars Battlefront are my favorite.

I was hoping to seethe Spacetroopers from legends on the list...

I enjoyed fighting the different storm troopers in TFU.

I too, enjoy Stromtroopers

fun fact, friend. . . stygian is pronounced 'Stid-jee-an'. Love your work and your accent.

still remember getting the shadow trooper in the Lego imperial dropship battlepack

“They were barely more than zombies” 😈👹

I love that black and white letterman jacket that says Star wars on it. I got to have it 😔

Shadow. Spec ops for the win. That or the Nova Troopers, they seemed to be volunteers. Far better than conscripts.

Nova troopers are my favorite division

Clone Commandos will be my favorite especially the ones wearing black. Shadow Troopers are the best all around. Especially since they were based on Carrier's

Shadow Troopers, as they are going to do whatever is required to complete the mission.

Hey you forgot the storm commandos! ^^

Cool

Think we'll see (or *not* see 😉) any Shadow Troopers in Andor Season 2?

That typo though 🤣

You forgot the intimidating menace, sentinal.

At what point will the imperial crimson stormtroopers (the Hasbro exclusive figure from the black series) be on screen?

Adding on to the dark troopers.we Actually see the robot version before the Mandolorian.... We also see them in the Star Wars the Empire at War: Force of Corruption video game.

Are you a Jedi master or Sith Lord?

It’s a shame that almost nobody talks about the imperial shock troopers, also did they not also put regular stormtroopers in dark trooper suits/give the, the augments?

For a good portion of this video, my only reaction is my jaw dropping!!! 7:30 NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!

Yeah, Death Troopers are basically more affordable Spartans.(form Halo)

And all it took was one skinny little farm boy who shot womp rats like a budding serial killer to light them all up.

I would do the Nova trooper because of the Drip

Well death troopers come to mind.... right before remembering that literally the only thing they did in Rebels, Rogue One and Andor, besides looking cool, was dying. Fitting name don't you think.

5:40 so with all the organs did they just throw them in the lava pits of Mustafar or shoot them with the disintegration gun earlier

I miss the arc troopers and the super elite arc troopers. I can never remember their names. It was like only 10 of them though. Knoll I think

This is the side that Disney is afraid to show

ALL these so extremely LETHAL special Elite Stormtrooper types.. an yet one or 2 heroes often made short work of them in all forms of Media. Even then Krennic Death Troopers were based wiped out by just 2 heroes in Rogue One makes me wonder how much better THOSE heroes training must've been to become part of those factions.

If over 70% of their body was replaced, then what was even the point in using humans?

Well, Jedi, although nearly extinct at this point in galactic history, are still around. So my answer for the question at the end of the video are none of ‘em lol

Those people who are concerned about aiming 😂 should know that even normal stromtrooper are good at aiming & they are effective & efficient soilders also. They can't able to shoot main characters because main characters have access to 4th wall device called plot amour.😂

I trust is the death troopers

...ORDER 66

What if the Galactic Empire had a massive citizens army like the Volkssturm? These would be poorly trained compared to stormtroopers or imperial army troopers & used as cannon fodder in high intensity conflicts. Their uniforms would be less formal looking than the usual imperial attire too.

None - for the force is my ally. The storm troopers reflect the folly of the sith, and the empire. It is not terror that wins, but faith in the light side.

Give a stormtrooper aim bot and they'd still miss every shot. At least the stormtroopers on the list are better.

I think I'd rather trust a paper ball then any storm trooper 🙄

My 501st soldiers will always be clones .

What about the shock troopers?

Yeah, they surpassed your regular stormtrooper…they actually hit their target

You forgot the Raptor Troopers of Warlord Zsinj. They were better trained, equipped and loyal than Stormtroopers or their variants.

One of my favorite stormtrooper variants in star wars they are the best of the best

"stromtrooper"

Heh..."Stromtroopers"

Heck Yeah!

They can be deadly towards the rebellion but nothing will ever beat a clone trooper nor even there special forces the empire can have terrifying things towards the rebellion but the clones were far beyond more terrifying than a cheap stormtroopers

Nice

Where is Stormcommando

Hello there

You forgot of extension of dark trooper program under Generał Rom Mohc, and stormcommandos

Shoretrooper aim better than stormtrooper
