Pretty impressive that Stormtropper has been in service for 20 years.
...well it's a big galaxy...
Probably only cause they kept him on bathroom duty for so long.
Ans still can't hit anything
@@michaelnapper4565 Oh just you wait for episode 2 ! ^^
He just missed his shot at getting deployed to I guess
"They prepare you for the horrors of war, but never for the retardation that is the government" every single enlisted military personnel
A-FUCKING-MEN
I'll drink to that
LMAO! So True!
Actually, people who voluntarily join the military are the retarded ones. Anyone with an average IQ knows war is a racket where you mindlessly obey orders from some idiot at the top, to go murder someone who is a stranger to you, or alternatively you end up becoming canon fodder yourself.
When you enlist infantry to go fight and be billy badass...... Weed Wacker goes brrrrt
The gruff trooper is so realistic. Annoyed a bit, actually talks respectfully, and isn't just an ass. Good job
I felt bad: he had to deal with a new trooper, and not screwing up by association
That was me in the Corps. Except for the occasional "shut the f√¢× up!"
@@ChrisCaldwellO66 That was me at work. I finally retired when I realized I was too close to telling some new guy to "shut the f√¢× up and just do what the f√¢× you were told to do". It was time to walk away.
Nah it'd be okay to be rude its more funny
Like a cross between Batman and Dredd. The other guy is a cross between Deadpool and Spider-Man
When you realize that veteran Trooper has almost been in service as long as the Empire has existed.
That would make him a clone... Dope.
@@samuelschurman3762either a clone or one of the first batches of human troopers.
I could feel that man's stare through the helmet.
We’ve all had that one colleague
"Are you fraking kidding me?" Stare
It is not impressive cuz it is just cut scene@.
if it still looks like that in game, it would be good.
but I don't think so...
@@mikekorean5687 This is a short film, it has nothing to do with computer games.
@@mikekorean5687 could be. New matrix teaser looks like this
I feel like we need these two being rotated to a variety of stormtrooper jobs together.
The Abbott and Costello/Laurel and Hardy of Stormtroopers. I'd watch that.
You're in luck....
They did that.
This comment aged pretty well
Before Mandalorian?
this weirdly feels like a more toned down version of red vs blue but with clone troopers just with how these guys talk to each other
I got that straight away, genuinely sounded like sarge and griff a bit
Those were the days
@@BlueManRedManYellow to be a kid watching red vs blue again...
No Clone troopers in this video....
The clone trooper thing seemed to have evaporated with the Villeneuve version of ST. Else, how could there be black or female troopers?
BTW, check out "Darth Vader in Love Pt I & II" here on YT. It's hilarious.
Believe it or not, this is similar to my first day in the army. Showed up to my unit, met my Squad Leader, got smoked for not knowing shit, was sat down and told the expectations and standards, then apologized to as they immediately stuck me on gate guard for 2 weeks. When it ended, I was smoked again for not recognizing my squad leader.
That happened to me too. I was praised for being a good unit. Then immediatly I lied to My commander ,I didnt recognize him. Tought It was just another Officer. So I went to the store bought candy returned. And The freaking commander of the whole zone along with My Platoon leader and My sargeant were waiting for me. Spent 6 hours of exercise. Cleaning duty and Guard duty the next 5 months
Same lol, fucking duty platoon shit
"You are more than just a number... those are the droids you're looking fo-" lmaooooo absolute gold!
“You will hit your targets” 🤣
"Palpatunes"
sounded like asmr to me lol
@@user-vr5zk9ox8d But they do already lol
I served in the US Army for 14 years. This is completely accurate!
You were a stormtrooper in the army? That's AWESOME!
In the Greek army it isn't like this . Especially if you are with a superior
@@MakisHMMY new guys aren’t annoying in the Greek army?
@@alca_pwn_2232 he must be the "new guy" to say that.
@@alca_pwn_2232 US soldier here, was over in Greece for a while. The Greek Army is essentially a part time job for its soldiers. I think you do have a small group of volunteer units such as their Special Forces units, but for the most part, they do physical training in the morning, eat breakfast, go to morning formation, and then they do their job until about noon. There's also rotations of guards who switch off at noon. Once they switch out at noon, the first rotation of soldiers heads out and does their civilian job and the second batch comes in, trains, works, etc, pulls guard duty and thats generally how things work.
That being said, the superiors seem pretty strict and theres absolutely no way you'd talk to them casually.
This guy's stood guard duty before. There's no way he hasn't. Because this is too realistic.
That last whispered "For the Empire" really sells how defeated the both of them must have felt after realizing what it was they were guarding that whole time.
I would totally be down for a full series of episodes of this. I love when people show love for Star Wars.
🤡🔪
Me too
The commentary alone makes it. And it looks good 😉
I feel if you made a lot of money or views off this, Disney would come not knocking lol.
Look up troops it the show that make the Canadian voice famous
As a former Marine, this is exactly how I’d expect it go. This is so funny haha.
A lot of stormtroopers in the marines is there
Thank you for your service!
@@JohnSmith19282 stormtroopers spend a lot of time in space, and if some of them are marines, does that mean that they are.... space marines? :3
Thank you for your service!
Literally a salty lance who’s been busted down a few times having to stand post with a boot
They should make this into a Mini-Series, sort of like 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' with troopers.
Ever seen Troops or Troopers? Troops was a one-off (If i can post it, here's the link th-cam.com/video/5HO70-Rk3jE/w-d-xo.html) while Troopers is a series of shorts.
They have another one, 'the battlefield'. I believe the same two troopers - at least the recruit is there for sure. th-cam.com/video/_F-FVJIXw-s/w-d-xo.html
@@azrealle9474 unfortunately troopers seems to have disappeared, which sucks cause it was my favorite
IMPS:Relentless was great, alas Disney shut them down.
@@michaelsmith6863 Yeah, definitely the same troopers. I hope :/
1:05 thats a veterans reaction for sure...
The poor clone trooper... at least physically 60 years old by now has to deal with a fresh behind his ears 19 years old that behaves like 12... every veteran can relate.
And the big reveal what they are actually guarding does so fit into military life as well. i mean how often do you guard some corridor or room you totally have no clue why? All the time!
Sadly they are not clones , they are normal stormtroopers.
@@Kobalt_Rax_the_one no, the voice is used in many fanworks for clones. on top of that the veteran states, that he served for 20 years. so he was already a trooper back in the last year of CW and that means he is 100% a clone.
even if it is later than 19 imperial calendar, clones were produced 7 years after the reform of the republic into the empire. then the Kamino uprising happened and the emperor decided to open the stormtroopers for recruitment and cloning with other templates than Fetts (for example the Lekkauf Clones).
Truth been told, thats nowadays Legends Canon and not Disney Canon, but for me only Legends Canon exists ^^
@@ricwalker6600 Pretty sure the creators of this videos, didn't think of all of that, so they are most likely regular stormtroopers.
If you only post guards at the important places, the enemy will know which places are important just by looking for guards!
Nah man, that's clearly a Jango Fett clone.
This makes me realize how patient stormtroopers have to be, looking back.
They even give so many chances for the enemy to surrender even when their friends are all dead around them.
People say the Empire is cruel, all we really see is mercy.
the other troopers discontent and death glares were so dang good. the fact that you could make him express so much emotion through a faceless helmet really shows how good you are with characters and writing/developing them without any given backstory, sad past, or character developement prior
that sir is not only amazing writing but amazing animation, lighting, angling and hard work put in for such a short film
pretty much how you can tell which emotions Djinn Djarin is feeling in the Mandalorian lol
@@user-go1sl6rd7u mm
100% agree!!! Genius!
This is a definite viral hit if you can keep up the quality. Episode 2 did NOT disappoint!
Oh we need more of this. These guys would make a great comedy duo in other settings. Unreal 5 looks cool, but the voice usage here is what nails it.
Forget the engine. It’s the script and voice actors that made this clip so special. Great job 👏
Thanks!
Agreed!
All stories are made or broken by the script. And yet, the UE5 made the video look almost like real actors on a green screen. Very impressive.
@@DALLASBARNETT LOL hey Dallas, why so angry man. He's just new, happens to all of us. But ya gotta admit man, the pee drink, pee drink was positively hilarious.
You would still have none of this without the engine.
That "for the Empire" was 100% out of desperation lmao
I mean Unreal is what they use for Mando and BoBF, they just incorporate it into a set with live actors with a very cool system they design. It's not surprising this looks this damn good but that definitely doesn't mean it doesn't deserve the praise. This is really solid
Love this! You guys give me a shout if you ever need a voice cuz that was amazing
Nah
We good fam
@BEEFY YT, @Brea Canyon Drifter, Jamie is an actual actor/voice actor with an impressive resume and AFK - The Webseries should feel honored he offered . How about not being dickheads. Kthxbye.
Hi Jamie, I only just saw this comment which got buried in the flow! I loved your Solo film, it was an amazing achievment. We should definitely do a colab, drop me a line at the email on my info page :)
It's amazing how much emotion they convey through those helmets
🤡🔪
They don't convey any emotions we project ours.
@@abhishekdev258 Can you project what emotion I felt when I read your comment?
@@MandleRoss No.
It is not impressive cuz it is just cut scene@.
if it still looks like that in game, it would be good.
but I don't think so...
True story: I had latrine guard duty 20 hours a day for 4 days with my battle buddy after a massive screwup. This just made me remember that.
Damn bro, 20 hours for 4 days? What did you do?
@@habibainunsyifaf6463 he guarded the latrine.
@@ion_force He means what did he do to recieve that as punishment
@@habibainunsyifaf6463 My mate and I had come off guard during a grueling field exercise and we were in our tent sleeping. The Company was called to an unscheduled formation for some reason ( we never found out), and whoever came to warn us about it didn't check to see if we were awake, so we didn't show. That caused some inconvenience and back and forth counting. We were eventually found, cozy and warm in our sleeping bag by an NCO who literally tore our tent down. Things calmed down a bit after it was discovered we'd just rotated out of duty but we were still punished for the sake of thoroughness.
🤡🔪
Being someone who worked the effects business, Your humor and wit, on your "Troopers" videos are spot on! Looking forward to seeing more in the future.
PalpaTunes. Lmao. What a genius. Explains why the vet is listening to it in ep 2. Really awesome dynamic you guys struck here.
I literally recognized that first song that played😂
What is this song?
"Forget the Deathstar, this is the real MVP of Imperial tech" 😂
This video reminds me of that one scene I really loved from The Force Awakens, when Kylo Ren had a temper tantrum and went ham on a console, two stormtroopers start walking by outside, hear the ruckus, one stops the other and they turn around and walk away. I found it funny and relatable since I would have done the same thing. I like those "slice of life" moments in tv and movies.
*New Hope remake you mean
@@DoctorJammer and a lesser one at that 😞
That was a great scene. Unfortunately, if his own troops couldn't respect this Sith wannabe, then neither could I, and that attitude persisted throughout the rest of the story.
@@pitui1987 yeah, agreed. I mean there's a reason why I remember that scene. Because I found it genuinely funny. All I remember thinking about KR was "he's an edgelord...in space"
@@criticallol3039 I mean, the sith are kinds just edgelords in general. The problem was that Kylo had nothing going for him. No unique powers, stupid lightsaber, weaker than a fledgling jedi, worthless master, no ambition, ect.
That is freaking awesome. You my friend have just created the best thing on the internet, please make more.
"I'm not even supposed to be here today !"
I so want Dante and Randal to be these two guys. Dante being all on-duty and Randal ready to ruin potential shore leave requests.
The troopers when they turned around after the heard the toilet flushed finally realizing what they been guarding lmao this funny love the way it was put together.
Well, it's either this or committing war crimes which will cause the Rebels to seek revenge on you
@@dojokonojo They are terrorists.. anti-authority terrorist scum.
That sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is not impressive cuz it is just cut scene@.
if it still looks like that in game, it would be good.
but I don't think so...
@@dojokonojo I mean, door guards always get the shaft tho
Could we see a series of these two guarding different low-priority locals across the Empire?! Just imagine they are on the Death Star as the heroes run past but they never notice, they Stand in front of the opposite side of Endor's shield generator so miss the fight on the other side, stationed on Hoth to secure the bombed rebel base and complaining about the cold!
TIG. Today I guarded...
ever seen starwars clips in robot chiken?
Brilliant writing there Peter Haynes and excellent work by the team. Loved every minute of it.
The gruff trooper reminds me of clint eastwood from heartbreak ridge, I hyped to see more of this.
Please make more this is amazing lol
Hey! It's Michael Jae!
I like your vids, bro!
Gonna piggy back here. Please continue to make more. Also, I can help if you need more voices. This is exceptional
Yes please!!
It is not impressive cuz it is just cut scene@.
if it still looks like that in game, it would be good.
but I don't think so...
@@mikekorean5687 It'll look better or worse depending on the devs. But you should consider looking into the Unreal 5 engine tech demo. The engine really is next gen in so many ways!
I was expecting the Stormtrooper on the left to lose it and shoot a barrage on the rookie (completely missing him).
Just a little "blaster malfunction," nothing to see here, move along... Dammit, missed again!!
So he has been a stormtrooper for 20 years and can't shoot someone 7 feet from him?
That is canon. 😂
This is exactly what I was hoping would happen. Like a full minute of the old guy just blasting away. Then cut back to the rookie, completely unharmed.
I was expecting the opposite 😆
He's probably done that in the past... that's why he's back guarding latrines when he'd normally be a senior master sargeant.
i like how you can see how he isnt properly holding the blaster. overall this is very impressive
Love this! The humor is spot on! The contrast between the crusty vet and the eager beaver rookie looking to get in the shit. It's funny because it's so accurate 🤣 great job!
Five minutes with more class than the Entire Disney Trilogy.
Well said
I think you meant the sequels. The trilogy was good
@@jimleask5595 One of the many things that made the Star Wars universe so believable was Lucas' attention to detail, such as giving the Storm Troopers enormous rucksacks. We'd expect that even in a time of lasers and faster than light travel, there'll always some poor sod with a cart load of parrots and monkeys on his back.
@@lordishimura5203 no the Disney trilogy was crap.
It is not impressive cuz it is just cut scene@.
if it still looks like that in game, it would be good.
but I don't think so...
Unlike the bad jokes Disney vomited out, this is actually canon-worthy.
How is this funny. Its been done and much better. Having a stormtrooper acting like an anxiuos 12 yr old isnt really that funny...
I mean, it’s definitely better than the last Jedi
They tried to put marvel humor in Star Wars
Stormtrooper soldier is empires Soldier… that guy ruins it. Why is so that people have to ruin a perfectly good context.
they light hundreds of millions of dollars on fire to attempt scenes like this with a shred of humanity
I'm so stoked to be onboard waiting for you guys to make more content like this, this is truly amazing.
Big thanks for creating these shorts! For real! I could watch these all day and never get bored.
Without taking the video too seriously, those scenes where the mindful guard slowly turns his head to the excited newbie were pure comedy. Made me laugh so hard.
Just when you thought everything’s been done in the Star Wars Universe…we’ve never seen a Trooper’s first day on the job.
I’ve always wanted to see Star Wars done in the same vein of The Office.
Han was a Stormtrooper in Solo, got to see his first day.
@@ll7868 We don’t talk about this.
@@sigma682 yeah we don't, it's forbidden knowledge
@@morpheus7422 Darryl voice: There's knowledge here?
It's time for a Steve Carell Darth Vader.
These are great please keep them coming written great and the troopers are funny the veteran has grumpy fun side and the rookie is hysterical
This feels so much like a real-world veteran soldier with a fresh-from-boot-camp soldier. He stayed calm and understanding at first, then when he finally broke he laid it out for the kid.
Another commenter said they'd love to see a series with these guys and others, I'd agree. Of course, directed by the people responsible for this short. This was funny and fantastic.
Every star wars movie should have scenes like this ....top notch !
This video reminds me of the two guards in the original movie (New Hope) talking about the alert being "another drill" as Obi Wan is seeking around behind them to deactivate the Death Star's tractor beam.
Disney can't make fun of themselves.
Maybe, a little like this. A few quick one liners.
Like the two guys in Pirates of the Caribbean
Now we just need Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels in the next episode.
This was brilliant! Definitely make more.
Good writing, good acting, good timing. I’m dying that the head guy’s been doing it for twenty years and he’s still watching a latrine…too funny.
The writing and acting are great but no one is talking about how amazing Unreal Engine 5 is. Maybe everyone thinks it's real people - I don't know. But it is all CGI. Amazing!
Entertaining ✔️
Audio ✔️
Dialogue ✔️
Transitions ✔️
This was fantastic and kept an authentic Star Wars vibe!
They could replace the last 3 movies with this & it would be a complete all-around improvement
@@oldRighty1 haha right?!
They should really make more of this, Love, Death& Robot style shorts. I would love that. !!!
Actually funny & enjoyable. Also looks amazing.
Y-all are awesome on this series. The writing is fantastic. Making them come across as ‘real’. Keep it up
_Simply entertaining, funny and loving._ _Thanks for 5 great minutes._
I'd like to think this new guy breaks the Vet into realizing for all his experience he's been resigned to a literal shit post and perhaps they'd warm up to one another and scheme a way to get out of their position and into the spotlight
Storm troopers in the spotlight?? Naah, they'd get forced choked on the 1st screw up or sabered by some jedi scum. Hehe. Boring yet safe assignment given those armors are useless. If they rocked Mandalorian armor though, then I'd say he'll yeah to front line action.
This stuff is GOLDEN! Looking forward to more is this class. I must have watched each at least 10 times and enjoy it just as much as the first time. I've also been sharing with anyone I can think of. My the farce continue to be with you! 😉
I just ran across this while Tube surfing! OMG! Kudos to the entire cast and crew for the look and feel of everything. I’ve always wondered what Stormtroopers talked about when not taking poorly aimed shots, invading peaceful villages, or dying before they can even get out the hatch! Five stars to the writers!
Love it, looks great, promising for the Mini series look. Humour was gold, love Storm Trooper back stories, reminds me of "Troops"
I made a stormtrooper unboxing video if your interested 😄

@@ChipzBitz Nice work have you seen - Episode 1 : Salad Mug - DYNAMO Dream by IanHubert?
Thee' master of Blender CGI. 😬
@@AwesomeBlackDude IanHubert is a legend
@@ChipzBitz I can assure you we are not.
Fun fact as a former soldier I can confirm this dialog is perfect
Lighting under the armpits at 3:08 and finger shading at 3:39 were the only few spots I was pulled out of the immersion. Wonderfully done.
Remember guys, if Disney takes this down it's canon
Definitely make more of these. This feels a lot Iike the old RvB episodes. Great work!
These two make a good trooper duo. Keep it up, awesome work.
That was BRILLIANT! Hell yeah well done and more please.
Absolutely loved it!! Thanks for adding R2-KT brought tears to my eyes.
So many subtle, funny, things going on in this. Truly masterful work. Bravo!
Thank you so much for making this. It really brightened my day. When I saw UE5, for the first time, I imagined making short movies like this one. The potential is unlimited for people to start bringing their ideas to life. It's really cool to see people already taking advantage of the engine, in such a lighthearted, but beautiful way.
Utterly outstanding character animation. Such realistic and subtle movement! Great work!
Good God, this is the best. Someone has to guard the restrooms so the rebels don't put the explosives in them. It's unfortunate to go to the bathroom when explodes under your balls. For the Empire!
I look at those guys and am reminded of the line "Do you ever wonder why we're here?"
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern..?
@@sammydavej Red vs. Blue, Grif and Simmons.
"Hey." - "...yeah?" - "You ever wonder why we're here?"
I understood that reference
@@themandalorian562 I understood THAT reference.
So well done! The art, the humor. Love it.
This is really great thank you for making
Man I couldn’t finish this. The attitude and demeanor of a new guy is perfectly captured here, and I got too many flashbacks of myself trying to tighten up a new check-in who doesn’t seem to take anything seriously. Well done.
Hey, we got those two Speederbike Troopers at the end of season 1 of The Mandalorian & this so much reminded me of those two, this was just as good & funny. Storm Troopers ARE humans, too, you know. And I love it when we get to see it.
Jason Sudeikis and Adam Pally played those biker scouts, there’s a interview somewhere of Sudeikis talking about hitting Grogu.. look for it, best shit ever
Brilliant sense of humor. And godd sense of rythm. Awesome dduddes
A blast, well done. Cannot wait for the miniseries!!!
GREAT job on the animations here! You can still get a good feel for the different personalities despite them being fully covered in armor. Nice!
Good God...this desperately needs to be a series. Most hilarious bit I've seen all week 🤣
Absolutely hilarious. Need more of these videos.
Impressive. Bravo. True pleasure to watch. hope to see more stuff like this !!
Awesome work guys! 👏 Hilarious dialogue, loved the whole thing 😁
Civil protection vibes
Well done!!! Loved it!
had to show this one around, epic!
This was amazing! Reminds me off the scout troopers in the Mandalorian Season 1 finale.
At 4:12-4:13 you can see the troopers blaster merging/passing thru his body armor. Other than that, pretty impressive game engine.
1:41 his left hand passes through the blaster.
Thanks, Debbie.
0:46 you see the trooper on the left has his wrist (and armor) bend weirdly
I hope you make more of these videos because this was hilarious.
New one on Friday
We need more of these!
I bet it's sand that is pinching in his suit. It gets everywhere.
This is brilliant. XD
Apart from how amazing Unreal Engine 5 looks the acting and scripts really sold here. I hope you'll make more of these.
Bravo! Very nicely made!
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
Wow, just wow! Amazing. The voice acting and the animation! Congrats!
Better than the new trilogy. Wow.

Amazing work on many levels, you will go far.
