Seeing your face without that sexy beard just brought me back in time like 5 years ❤🎉

What ever happened to the Resistance and First Order after the Rise Of Skywalker? Are there still remnants of the Order and sympathetic people lingering?

I love Ezra’s light saber

Hey dude, got the source for the thumbnail artwork ? At least the name of the variant of storm trooper ?

@Homer What did you want them to look like ?

@Homer the lines that have *always* been on that armor piece since Episode 5? Sure buddy

@Homer fam they’ve always had those armor designs

@Homer that's actually how they've always looked since like the 90s comics

Plus their armor looks awesome.

Yeah I love the look of the army trooper the simplified officers uniform with a little bit of armor and the officers cap make it look like something that could actually be worn Heck even their guns appear to be more practical with a strap and grip compared to the stormtrooper rifle

The problem is rebels attacked things that were important aka needed the elite troopers

@@BOOTYMANTHAGOAT Well, the Stormtroopers were more trained for fanatical loyalty and discipline, than pure skill and battle competence. But when you have an Empire that banks on keeping order by ordering massacres anytime someone gets out of line...Then you kind of need Stormtroopers that will pull the trigger no matter what, when ordered to.

@@dungeonguy88 Stormtroopers are actually VERY well trained and intelligent. In the books and comics they are very good. The movies and the shows do them bad on purpose because, well, plot.

@@BOOTYMANTHAGOATnot by much. Some were skilled but more often than not they were still getting bodied. I mean one guy cut through dozens of them without getting scratched and he wasn’t even a “good guy”.

Fair enough

All the Stormtroopers on the Death Star answered to the Emperor and his representative,(Vader) not Tarkin. Just in case Tarkin got any funny ideas

25000 star destroyers, dozens of super star destroyers and millions of support vessels the Galatic Empire dissapeared because of plot armour. The Rebels never stood a chance against the Galactic Empire, if there was no plot armour the Executor would have single handedly annihilated the whole rebel fleet and instead of 30 star destroyers being at Endor there would have been hundreds if not thousands.

@@NostalgicClips01 in my head canon the Emperor didn't intend to wipe of the rebellion, which is why there was such a small fleet at Endor . He planned on destroying a significant portion of their fleet while allowing the rest to escape. He needed an enemy to justify the never ending military expansion

@christophernemeth421 Darth Sidious had nothing to justify to anyone after the dissolution of the Senate. I get what your saying the Empire needed an enemy but his goal was to completely destroy the rebellion then and there. The portrayal of the Executor at endor is just stupid, the super star destroyer had enough fire power to wipe out the whole rebel fleet by itself. Thousands of heavy turbo laser placements yet we never see it fire a single shot. Piett ya fool.

501st in original trilogy?

@@MichaelK1710 not by name, but yes it is. It’s the 501st that boards the Tantavive IV in Episode 4. They also assault Echo Base on Hoth & and are the garrison on Endor.

@@dogloversrule8476so the infamous 501st got schooled by teddy bears....

@@gopr3117 yes, they did. It definitely wasn’t their finest hour

@@dogloversrule8476Tbf, all of the clones that were experienced and elite were gone by that time. They were far from the legendary unit in the Clone Wars at this point.

Really reminds me of the mutiny of William Bligh, he had requested marines because he was suspicious of his crew

As a marine corps vet it definitely seems like they model our older history and truthfully I prefer that more than what we have now. I really wish they would shrink the USMC and have it be more elite and closer to it's history of being a QRF for the navy

@@Captain_Insano_nomercy To be honest the modern day USMC has really just become a smaller and more elite version of the Army... They're less a specialized QRF for the navy, and more just... soldiers with a different uniform who get really mad if you call them soldiers. Other marine forces around the world, notably the Royal Marines Commando(who are the ancestors of the modern day USMC) do still carry on this tradition of being ship guards and a QRF for the Navy, and are therefore typically either Navy(such as Russian MSV) or Army(such as the UK's RMC) personnel. We still call them "marines" out of respect for the role they fill, but this is more in the way you'd call somebody a Ranger or a Paratrooper; it's a specialty within a branch rather than a whole branch in and of itself. To be totally honest, US marines are a bit of an anomaly, and if we're being real ... they're a bit redundant. Setting aside skill, and the pride of certain overcompetitive marine boots, there's really nothing the modern Marines do that couldn't be accomplished with Army shock forces. (like ranger/air assault battalions) This isn't to disrespect the skill or the accomplishments of the marines themselves, more just a question of what role does the USMC actually serve on a larger scale?

@@trainknut well I am a marine so you don't have to tell me a lot of those things, I've seen it firsthand. Though I mostly agree I would point put that we routinely outclassed army artillery units (when the army still used arty) when I was in the corps. We are better pure fighters, however that isn't what the military is about anymore, it's about politics and paperwork, so the USMC will likely die out one day soon

@@Captain_Insano_nomercy the point is, there doesn’t need to be a whole separate branch that does what the army does but better… when you could just train your army units better.

the US did that in Iraq, they disbanded the whole Iraqi army and police forces as well

@@spacepiratee215 Yup, a massive blunder. One of the largest militaries in the world suddenly didn't exist, with no real replacement - wow, how surprising that a lot of these very disgruntled, military trained people decide to join up with whatever radical Islamist group is recruiting nearby

This whole premise is stupid.

​@@tinman3586it sounds stupid but it happened before in our reality, when the Russians disbanded their army in fear of an uprising over serfdom, they were practically defenseless with only the Tsar's Guard, many Russian soldiers as a result joined the Reds and the rise of communist sentiment sprung up from disbanded soldiers.

well as the other commenter pointed out. the USA literally did that in Iraq, so i don't think it is that stupid a premise.@@tinman3586

I really enjoy the variety in the army, I would loooove to have army units and skins in a potential battlefront 3

@@brockgundich same

So does your mom, how do you think you got here?

Same, reason Nr.1 im cosplaying as one XD

Same here, I think we need to see them more than stormtroopers.

The people working on these shows and movies genuinely don’t care bro. They’re there to meet quotas and do their job in the film industry. There’s no passion, just money and merchandise

@@kevinmcmillin870I mean you aren't wrong, I was just stating what I wish would happen lol

@@ryanlaurie8733 Unfortunately wishes don't get answered very often...fucking Disney

Kinda like in andor that the stormtroopers showed only in the last chapters?

@@travis51killer01 Yes exactly. That's why I love Andor, we can see the point of view of the average citizen, and it makes the imperials seem really dangerous.

The whole point of the Stormies was to be Enforcers more than actual Soldiers, really.

Also curious

The chiss did nothing about the first order because the sequel-era writers probably didn't know they exist or didn't care. The expanded universe is what you are looking for when it comes to answers

The Ascendancy persisted during the Dark Age of the Republic following the Fourth Great Schism. While the Old Republic was aware of the Ascendancy, all knowledge of them was 'lost' during the Fall of the Old Republic. The Chiss however have always been strong Xenophobes and so locked up their borders and remained an unknown during the days of the High Republic. They continue to remain an unknown until Thrawn made himself public enemy number one of the New Republic and the face of the Imperial Remanent. It wasn't until the events of Outbound Flight that the New Republic and Luke's Jedi order 'rediscovered' the Ascendancy and put it back on the map. The New Republic and Luke Skywalker actually had to negotiate for the return of Outbound Flight since they violated Ascendancy space and the Chiss reacted by seizing everything and holding it. They don't like when people show up inside their space uninvited. The Ascendancy eventually returned Outbound Flight and continued negotiations brought them back into the awareness of Galactic Affairs. They remained sovereign apart from the Republic but cordial to Republic Members. They played part in the Yuuzaan Vong war developing the bio weapons used against them and were central to the Dark Nest Crisis afterwards. Because Outbound Flight was Decannonized and Thrawn never became the Face of the Empire, the Ascendancy was never rediscovered and since they are both isolationist and non-expationist, (they don't actually expand unless their resource capacity requires it and their 28 worlds are pretty stable.) it is unlikely anybody found them or bothered them so they remained hidden and forgotten. Unless something is a direct threat to the Ascendancy, they pretty much just let the galaxy pass them by.

@@graveyardshift6691 Consindering the First Order's nature, they should be viewed as a threat by the Chiss Ascendancy. Plus, we never know the exact location of Exogol anyway. However, we know that Dromund Kaas was defenitely not near the Ascendancy like at all.

@@lerneanlion The First Order was another CIS cover for Palpatine. We know this because he was puppateering Snoke as a badly deformed Palpatine clone. Palpatine actually did favor Thrawn quite a bit allowing an 'Alien' to get so high in a human centric Empire. He never would have permitted the First Order to pose any kind of threat to the Ascendancy when he could just negotiate with them as the Sith Empire of Old did. Even if the First Order were to show up on the Ascendancy's doorstep, they were not so stupid as to disarm completely like the Disney New Republic was and would have responded in kind to any kind of threat the First Order posed. Consider the opening of Episode 8. If the first order tried that stunt in the Ascendancy, they wouldn't have been met with a lone X-wing. They would have been met with an equal size Cruiser telling them to turn around and go home or face the full fury of whatever House Phalanx was watching. Any attempt at any hostility would have resulted in the ship suddenly finding itself outnumbered and outgunned by equally sized ships instead of whatever pitiful force the 'Resistance' pulled out of their ass. They would have been absolutely merciless and even go so far as to backtrack to wipe all trace of the First Order making whatever force was out there as just 'lost in space'. The 'massive fleet' the First Order chased down the Resistance with would have been met with the full CEDF and whatever House Phalanxes were on standby. This is why the Chiss Ascendancy doesn't jive with Disney's New Republic. They would have single handedly nailed the First Order to the wall. But the key here is 'direct threat'. The Chiss don't care if their next door neighbor takes an orbital strike to the face. So long as you don't point the gun at them. The rest of the galaxy can burn as far as the Ascendancy is concerned but the second you threaten any one Chiss, the entire Ascendancy will come down on you. The First Order roaming around and blasting super weapons at the New Republic doesn't concern the Ascendancy. Until an Ascendancy Chiss is actually killed by the First Order or an Ascendancy Planet is raided meaning that Chiss Space is violated, they're a non-issue.

Yeah rebels feel quite cheap compared to Clone wars

That's actually a great idea, giving an escalation where at the beginning the crew won against corrupt and unmotivated Imperial garrison. And then the inquisition arrived with stormtrooper and forced the crew on constant game of hide and seek.

Think of it this way, a Star Destroyer or the Death Star would not have regular troops but the elite force on it to defend it and deploy in the event of a primary assault. Tatooine is a search party being sent to recover sensitive information, you send Special Forces for that not regular army. Hoth you have an assault on a known rebel base, for a direct coordinated attack against a top target you send Special Forces. Bespin you have the second in command with his elite troops joining him no regular army would be there. Endor you're talking about a coordinated ambush against rebels you're sending the best of the best to take them out.

​@Moose63845 Very true, but Star Wars media has a habit of showing Stormtroopers doing incredibly mundane stuff at places with no strategic value, like patrolling random occupied cities and or guarding random power stations. That's line infantry kinda stuff, man. The Imperial Army should be more prominent in Star Wars media as a defensive force which holds down territory, with the Stormtroopers being shown as elite shock infantry who remain mobile as a response force.

​@@Moose63845Movie wise yes but the shows didnt do it justice, in a remote mining outpost why would there be stormtroopers?

@@Moose63845 Tatooine Had storm troopers and that planet has absolutely nothing valuable on it

@@admiralkaede the only reason tatooine had storm troopers is they were looking for the escape pod and the droids. They were dropped from the star destroyer because they were already there.

also the fact that most of the time when we see Imp ground forces in Rebels, theyre in high risk garrisons or carrying out attacks on rebel bases which, for the most part, werent large enough to require a lengthy siege or large ground forces, but could usually be routed with a strong stormtrooper assault unit who were able to respond quickly due to the fact they were already stationed on navy vessels

Yea I would say that rebels was also guilty of really on using stormtroopers. I have a theory that having helmets cover faces decreases animation cost and adr for syncing dialogue

@@GenerationTech That's exactly it. That's why all the officers had their hats covering their faces. They're all the same model

@@GenerationTech i mean army troopers do have masks they can wear and IMO they look sick but yea that's highly likely the reason

Because Lucasfilm has too many cooks in the kitchen and some of them don’t put a lot of effort into paying attention to canon and include only Stormtroopers because nostalgia and so they can make stupid jokes about them having bad aim. Filoni is a big offender when it comes to this

​@@GenerationTech it's that plus the fact that it's considered less brutal to show faceless bad guys being blasted or sliced up than humanized troops with no helmet. Imagine rebels showing army troopers getting got by Kanan and Ezra and not faceless stormies. Wouldn't hit the same.

That's when they call in the Novatroopers.

Well the Stormtroopers are also more politicized so I’d say they’re more like the Waffen SS, the leader’s personal army rather than an army for the people

@@donovanchau3483 Palp's was probably always planning on replacing the Army with the Stormie eventually anyways

I wonder what happened

thought no one bringing this up was weird lol

Yeah, he should have been part of the Supervisor meeting with Major Partegaz

tbf andor is 5bby, we don't know when the night of a thousand tears is but it's in that window so he's probably already dealing with the mandalorians, like how the isb go out into the field to deal with their sectors, his is a bit more important than like firaxes.

This would be nice to see

Theres an old comic where they first showed up, you pretty much had officers, regular grunts, engineers and sapper units in it. Wonder if theres now more of such comics.

The 3T’s of The CCP, Tiananmen Square massacre, Tibet, & Taiwan. China’s three strike policy for doing financial business with foreign governments, & financial sectors. Of course you need only get one strike, & your out when it comes to China’s standpoint on the issue. After all, according to them, by mentioning any of the above, you are directly interfering with the operations of their internal operations of government. Especially seen as a usurper, & militant on a good day, & an outright terrorist on an average day to be silenced, & crushed by any means. China, is, & has been for some time, the face of the Galactic Empire’s ideal that Sheev Palpatine, had hoped to create during his time when he was only Chancellor of The Republic, & still plotting to overthrow the galaxy’s largest government body. China too, uses its shadow tactics, like the Sith Lord, to play multiple roles, & sides in how our world’s politics, & policies play out, & to manipulate outside governments to maintain China’s power, & overextend its influence for absolute power, & control.

Unfortunately the CCP aren't the only ones doing this. Some do it discreetly through the basis of democracy and capitalism while supporting colonialism and ethnic cleansing like the US. What they share in common is that the people in power are usually atheist and or agnostic in nature among other similarities.

also note that the army is most likely used for conquest, in the original trilogy the empire is seen investigating tatooine guarding a superweapon seiging a base on hoth occupying bespin protecting a shield on endor. wheras in solo they're activly invading mimban and trying to conquer it, really i feel like the army should be massivly important early on as they bolster the GAR ranks and just sweep through the galaxy, with troopers and the like occupying worlds while the bulk of the army is elsewhere. plus the rebels would never fight the army, it's too massive compared to them to straight up fight, better to attack military ships or occupied places rather than fight on the open field.

@@tpeack I fairly agree with this sentiment (except for Hoth) as Vader would be sent on special operations alongside his stormtroopers. I feel with Hoth though, there absolutely should’ve been a larger Imperial Army to completely cut off the Rebel force (they weren’t there because Plot). Although they were relatively stylized for conquest, I don’t think Palpatine would’ve just kept them around for nothing and should’ve been using them to stomp out the rebellion, which I feel further reinforces my point that Vader’s presence alone shifted our perception of the OT as Stormtroopers are (supposed to be) elite units within the Empire

again I generally agree with your analysis though

@@kingbooomer9231 true, though iirc hoth was a botched job on the empires part, after ozzil came out of hyperspace too close, originally the engagement wasn't supposed to happen. so even though the siege was quick it was supposed to be over in an instant.

@@kingbooomer9231 Hoth was a special case. The mountainous terrain around the planetary shield's perimeter didn't favour large scale deployment.

Accepting Disney canon as canon is your first mistake. 'Legends' is where the good stories are at. And where good characters are stolen from to be mutated and downgraded in the hands of Disney.

@@Arkancide i feel weird watching legends,it has many things that weren't on the movies (the first ones)

@@juancr4713 Watching? No no, READING. Legends is what all the books have been relegated to. Read the Thrawn Trilogy, the X-Wing series, and even I, Jedi and the like and you'll be better off. That's a subjective statement of course.

Yeah imagine the clone wars type regiments units stuff but for the imperial army Although we do see some of that variation in some stormtrooper units such as 501st

🤣

You said it best.

i appreciate the ü but you dont need it here :D

They also own a ton of commercial and industrial entities. It’s a massive faction.

@@GenerationTech I guess that would be like the Storm Trooper corps owning Kuat Drive Yards or something

Basically.

There's also the armies send to conquer rebellious planets who are often not native to it

Love your videos

Nice idea!
