He’s got water wings but can’t actually control which way he swims so he just ends up floating on his back trying to kick his feet like “Dammit!!” While the shore troopers watched to make sure he just didn’t die.
What's silly is that most of them are just Stormtroopers wearing an accessory. I can imagine the conversations some of these people must have, "put on your cape, we need to be mudtroopers today" "oh, you're going for a walk outside in Sullust? Better become a magma trooper! Put on your shin pads and get your respirator". But of course, all of these folks get special training to do complicated things such as: not stepping in lava; looking for a branch if they get stuck in deep mud and can't move; as well as: walking down the shores of a beach and enjoying the good weather?
In fairness working in conditions where lava is abundant, the bigger threat would be volcanic gasses, potentially unstable footing, pretty much everything about the environment that doesn't have to do with lava
I think it's less that these are completely different troops, and more that some of these are just different armor and equipment; The Snowtroopers for example, I believe are at least mostly just common Stormtroopers decked out in gear more suitable for Hoth's arctic climate.
I'm surprised Seatroopers haven't been touched on before. Having an elite scuba squadron would make sense for intruders trying to sneak into their underwater bases, like Fortress Inquisitorious on Nur from Fallen Order. It's unlikely Cal would've reached the Second Sister if they'd been present and therefore, Trilla wouldn't have died.
I'm sure we'll meet a new variant in Book of Boba Fett whose toy will be revealed in a couple weeks I'm not sure to what capacity, but some piece of armor will be added or painted and we'll have a new Stormtrooper just to spite Alex and this video.
I know it's always been for merchandizing, but calling all these variants "X-trooper" is just funny to me. Most of them are likely the same troopers with the same training, just issued different armor for different environments. Like Vader dispatches troops from the Devastator to Tatooine to search for the plans. The "Sandtroopers" are just stormtroopers from the Devastator who just grabbed some field gear and went down to the planet. Same with the snowtroopers on Hoth. They are just stormtroopers who were issued cold weather gear for the battle. There's no way an entire battalion of "snow troopers" just waits around on the Executor for a cold weather mission. Still, always love coming back to this video!
We've seen spacetroopers have a cameo cameo role in A New Hope. Mustafar is a moon not planet. We've seen clonetroopers in similar armor to seatroopers.
my personal favorites were the sea troopers. mainly because they didnt just have a unique look, but they had very unique jobs and battles. i wish they were in a movie or a series
Just found out an "interesting" detail: the Patrol Trooper's gloves are the same as the First Order Stormtrooper's. I guess they reused some props for Solo!
I wish we could see coruscant scenes in the galactic civil war era, I could imagine imperial shock trooper enforcing order on the planet, don't get me started on the 501st stormtroopers what we could've seen. Overall WE NEED MORE TROOPER SCENES
1:16 some sources list dewback troopers separately to sand troopers. Hear are ones you may of missed that are listed as Canon on Star Wars Wookipedia: Stormtrooper commander/ Arctic jumptrooper/ desert jumptrooper/ desert stormtrooper/ Forest jumptrooper/ heavy shoretrooper/ heavy snow Trooper/ imperial cadet/ Purge Trooper commander( but you may have shown an image of it)/ recon stormtrooper/ sandtrooper scout/ Swamp Trooper.
Ok so looking at this there’s so much vehicle specialization in the armor. I wonder what the budget for the Empire is because different variations with different modifications would understandably cost differently. Mixing and matching parts would be a good idea but at the same time any good weapons and arms company would make them a set and sell those instead.
I was always under the impression that Mudtroopers were just standard Imperial Army troopers and not Stormtroopers and that the Stormtroopers were the elite units of the Imperial Navy.
Yeah, there are a few others on this list that are not part of the stormtrooper corps like some of the drivers. My understanding with the Mudtroopers is that they are identical to the standard Imperial Army troopers with a waterproof cape added.
Imagine a type of imperial trooper called the assassin trooper so regular stormtrooper armor but fully coverd in dark blue colours with red lenzizes a sniper a pistol and retractable blades on both of there wrists
I love how they are covered foot to toe in armor, drastically, limited, mobility and vision (especially the scout trooper, who has to look through a tunnel) and yet they still die to one misplaced blaster bolt anywhere on their body….
Are we sure the majority of these armors aren’t just mission/deployment specific? So if a Stormtrooper gets sent to an arctic, forest or desert planet they would get the gear appropriate for those environments.
They have been specially trained and equipped for dancing and dabbing, in addition to extremely rapid construction of wooden fortifications. The Emperor does not understand them.
@@NiiRubra They are also quite skilled with all manners of slugthrowers, grenades, rocket launchers, and various sorts of weaponry. Many of them are among the best shots in the empire. If only we could get them off the island...
My favorite stormtrooper from Star Wars? Is shore trooper and the death troopers too? And of course the stormtroopers too? I like the first order ones better?
Great video, sorry if I come off as unappreciative but I'm confused as to where you draw the line as to what counts as a stormtrooper variant. How come you included some types of pilots but not others? What about the Combat drivers from rebels that drive the AT-DPs, Speederbikes and the ITTs? or the storm trooper cadets from rebels? Should the imperial super commandos count? What about TIE pilots? And Dark troopers, yes they were driods in mando but they were still called troopers and it was said that they used o not be droids. And if scar squadron are mention shouldn't inferno squad be too?
Seeing the progression in Purger trooper armor in Keno I makes me wonder if they maybe transformed into the Death Troopers closet to the time of A new hope
Storm troopers: we are a symbol of fear so fear us. The rebels legit just kill Storm troopers in 2 or 1 hit: yeah right like your scary. Jedi:shut up and let me slice you to bits. Cal:how do you slice Storm troopers in half because I forgot. Lol also why Cal doesn't know how to slice people in half because you can't slice Storm troopers in half in Jedi fallen order
I guess the cybernetics that the death troopers are augemented with are the reason why their voices sound robotic and less understandable. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Disney created a bunch new Storm Troopers and Tie Fighters. I think these are good so long as there is not a huge overlap. The Jump Troopers from Rebels are something I still want to see in live action though. They’d be great in a game too.
Jumptroopers are in Dice's Battlefront II. They are a rifleman type class with the E-11 blaster and a rocket launcher, but with the high mobility afforded by their jump packs.
@@stairmasternem pretty sure they were originally created for bf2 but the rebels design looked different so they added the rebels appearance to the game
They were not bad shots supposedly the helmets obstructed there view as well as some people say it was the forces will the rebels won. That’s why they usually loose. Dark troopers ph3 were just robots though
since you mentioned troopers variants from video games, what about the dark troopers (I know you're going to say but they're battle droids so they don't count, the gen I & the gen III from the mandalorian you'd be right but the gen II dark troopers were people in armour so they would count wouldn't they).
Star Wars has weird definition of the term "elite". It gets a little annoying that elite troopers don't really get very many opportunities to be elite and instead get killed by kids who have like 2 minutes worth of blaster training.
I feel like Flametroopers in Fallen Order and in that comic were made to resemble Snowtroopers a bit, echoing the way First Order Flametroopers would later resemble First Order Snowtroopers. Feel like the Incinerator trooper throws a wrench in that, but I’ll chalk it up to the Empire having lost the war and being low on supplies. Red paint will do.
Incinerator Troopers are elite flame troopers. They had more powerful flamethrowers, advanced training, and only pyromaniacs were chosen to join their ranks. You'd send in a Flametrooper if you wanted a small scale, contained display of intimidation, but you'd send an Incinerator Trooper if you desired an entire settlement to be razed to the ground.
Flame troopers seem to be more tactical in purpose. Destroying hostile Flora and Fauna to make way for industrial facilities. While incinerator troopers seem to be specifically equipped for massive arson based combat to decimate their enemies…
Glad the TK Troopers made this list! That design is really growing on me, I also think it's sick how they're still using Clone blasters (the DC-15a Carbine)
Yea they’re sick. They’re based on the original stormtrooper concept art by Ralph mcquarrie before they settled on the design that we all know from A New Hope
Not to be that guy but, mud troopers that fought on mimban weren't a variation or type of stormtroopers. They actually fell more into the ranks of the imperial army, a seperate branch of the military from the stormtroopers. The imperial army were enlisted or conscripted as well, but they weren't quite as well trained, yet they fought on most of the bloodier battles, such as mimban.
I feel like Alex kind of fumbled on what is a stormtrooper. I would think that a stormtrooper variant would have to be an Imperial trooper that is part of the Stormtrooper Corps. While the Stormtrooper Corps was a part of the Imperial Army, there are also other corps within the Imperial Army as well. The Imperial combat driver and all variations such as AT-AT pilot, AT-ST driver, AT-ACT driver, Tank driver, and Juggernaut pilot are part of the Imperial Combat Driver Corps and are not Stormtroopers. Mudtroopers are Imperial Army, plain and simple, and are not Stormtroopers otherwise all the soldiers seen on Mimban in Solo: A Star Wars Story would have been wet-weather gear Stormtroopers including Han.
Are all infantry Storm Troopers? You mention that Storm Troopers are elite troops. But I don't see who they could be elite above. I've seen the Mud Troopers, specifically the ones in the first battle scene of Solo, referred to as part of the Imperial Army, a distinct, more common, and somewhat lower grade of entity from the Storm Trooper Corps which were more like the Marines.
The stormtrooper Corp is above the imperial army and imperial navy troopers. Also a lot of the troopers mentioned here like the mud trooper and most of the pilots are army not stormtrooper Corp
Storm troopers were not the main force of the imperial military. The imperial army is a separate branch then the storm trooper corps. The imperial army was mostly immobile, while storm troopers were more like an expeditionary force. (Also mud troopers are apart of the imperial army, not the storm trooper corp.)
Nice username btw . Is there anywhere where I can read more about the main imperial army, because would it not have made more sense for the empire to employ the entire (or atleast many) of the main army force when capturing and maintaining a vital position such as endor? Thanks in advance for any responses:)
@@catpicton5814 The stormtroopers are employed to deal with high priority threats. That’s why you always see them in the movies, the imperial army is basically just a minor security force stationed on bases and planets. (Sorry for responding late btw)
I wonder if the flame trooper from fallen order is wearing fire proof gear while the incinerator is when they have lack of flame troopers uniform and have to use standard imperial with red markings instead.
It has literally appeared in The Force Unleashed on Kashyyyk as a part of the Empire at it's peak where it held absolute undisputed control over the galaxy, before the Rebel Alliance even existed
@@tk-6967 The one you see in Fallen Order is a different one. The Incinerator Trooper with the red markings is used for crowd control and burning out enemy fortifications. The one you see in Fallen Order on Kashyyyk is more designed to take on local wildlife, which is why it has a less powerful flamethrower
@@scoutman66 Oh sorry, what I meant was that I thought that flame troopers were first shown in games by JFO, I didn't know incinerator troopers were from TFU
I don't normally disagree with you and your knowledge of canonical material. However I think a lot of "Troopers" you have here are Imperial Army not the Stormtrooper Corps. They are different branches of the Imperial military after all. Unfortunately some of the visual dictionary, comic book, video game, and novel writers (and to some extent even tv show and movie makers) don't seem to remember this distinction. As some one who spent time in a real world military their would definitely be a distinction. The Stormtroopers are shock/assault troops, used for ship boarding, decisive attacks and initial occupational forces. They are chosen not just for their skill at academies but there loyalty and devotion to the Empire and Palpatine, they represent an elite force. They also get monitored but loyalty officers a lot. With the exception of Snow Troopers, they are distinguished by their armor and helmets, if it looks mostly like a regular Stormtroopers they are part of the Corps. If a military campaign is going to take awhile or you just need manpower and firepower you use the Imperial Army. The army is more numerous and consists of those trainees not good enough for the Stormtrooper Corps or Imperial Navy. This is where Han Solo got sent. They don't get glamorous nor glorious missions usually but they do get a lot more armored fighting vehicles and artillery. If the armor doesn't look like a Stormtroopers the individual under it is probably Imperial Army not Stormtrooper Corps. The armor is less protective and often bulkier than Stormtrooper armor, expenses were spared on these soldiers.
Apparently most of the land vehicles stormtroopers typically deploy with are technically imperial army as well. I think it's a bit of a clusterfuck because stormtroopers seem to fill so many categories, but I do think it makes sense that the imperial army are the ones who do most of the trench warfare, even if that kind of thing is literally all they do. Stormtroopers seem to be variously elite shock troops, ship boarding action specialists, hazardous environment specialists, a police force, a more political force... I think if you confine the imperial army to action like on mimban, and give basically every other role to stormtroopers, it kind of works fine. The imperial army should be rarely seen by most normal people because they only deploy in or near proper warzones. Stormtroopers should be seen with some regularity by most normal people because they are peacekeepers and law enforcement as well as elite soldiers. Stormtroopers are the face of the empire, the imperial army are a more expendable but in this time period not often useful force because there aren't many proper conventional wars happening in the age of the empire, it's all insurgencies.
@@Shot5hells I think the one exception is the Mandalorian Sector Uprising. The response to a governor and ISD being destroyed was probably to send a legion of Stormtroopers to occupy Sundari, my guess is that failed the Uprising spread from Mandalor to its star system and then the entire Sector. At that point it involves mostly Imperial Navy and Army, it also becomes a propaganda gold mine for the Empire and a hindrance to the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The Mandalorians although initially assisted by the Rebel Alliance cared nothing for the Republic and were fighting for an independent Mandalor. COMPNOR probably loved being able to make the Mandalorians bad guys and down play rebel groups as minor terrorists. It would be so easy because of the history of the Mandalorians and the associated myths and legends that almost every sentient species has either heard or was directly involved with. Why would anyone complain about resources going to the Imperial military as it fights to protect the galaxy from new wave of Mandalorian raids. Moff Gideon was probably only given authority to start the Mandalorian Purge near the end of the Empire. While Mandalorians have a lot of advantages against Stormtroopers and elite forces, at this point in their history they don't have the ships to compete against the Imperial Navy, nor the man power to stop the Imperial Army on planets and moons. Of course we might learn more in Season 3 of The Mandalorian, or a military scifi story about the Uprising and Purge.
@@Shot5hells actually, the Stormtrooper Corps wasn't a political force, that would be CompForce. CompForce was the military arm of The Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR). COMPNOR handled things like Surveillance, interrogation, Re-Education, Enforcement, Investigations, Internal Affairs, and Special Operations. They also handled propaganda, schools, and directed the cultural achievements of the Empire. The Imperial Security Bureau was also under COMPNOR. Think of COMPNOR as being the SS, the ISB as the Gestapo, and CompForce would be like the Waffen SS. COMPNOR was explained in great detail in the Imperial Source book for the Star Wars RPG.
A few that were missed, the undead Death Troopers from the Legends book of the same name have been recanonized, and were utilized as the in-universe reason why the Deathtroopers from Rogue One have their name. Then the Imperial Transport Trooper, another one of the Hover Tank/Juggernaut variants but with blue markings, that accompanies space transport ships, as seen in Vader Immortal and the Castle Vader Lego set. Lastly the Dark Troopers of course, being recanonized by Mandalorian Season 2
@@dessirangelova2676 They were an experiment by the Empire and used by them as a weapon, so sure they could be classified as "sentient weapon" instead of "Stormtrooper", but their designation and origin as regular Stormtroopers would still put them in the Stormtrooper category
I personally have been a major fan of Shoretrooper armor ever since it first appeared and it has stayed my favorite even with new and cool variants showing up like Range troopers. The Shoretrooper design just feels so grounded and real, and the efficiently simple color palette works in almost any environment, not just tropical areas.
PLEASE do a video on Imperial Army troopers and Imperial Navy troopers. There's a huge misconception in the Star Wars fandom that stormtroopers were the standard Imperial soldier, but they weren't
Well, in canon in later years Army Troopers were phased out completely in favor of more funding towards the stormtroopers and their academies. By the time of Rebels you would automatically become a stormtrooper and enter into the academy to become one upon graduation.
I told my friends that the Shoretroopers were the Emperor's lifeguards everytime he takes a vacation on a tropical planet.
Now I can't get the image of Palpatine in swimming shorts with a cocktail in his hands out of my head.

Put on your shin pads and get your respirator".
But of course, all of these folks get special training to do complicated things such as: not stepping in lava; looking for a branch if they get stuck in deep mud and can't move; as well as: walking down the shores of a beach and enjoying the good weather?

Not to be that guy but, mud troopers that fought on mimban weren't a variation or type of stormtroopers. They actually fell more into the ranks of the imperial army, a seperate branch of the military from the stormtroopers. The imperial army were enlisted or conscripted as well, but they weren't quite as well trained, yet they fought on most of the bloodier battles, such as mimban.

There's also the Servetrooper. Equipped with a ladle, they work in imperial cafeterias serving meal.
they were slices of pepperoni and cheese on their armor
I feel like Alex kind of fumbled on what is a stormtrooper. I would think that a stormtrooper variant would have to be an Imperial trooper that is part of the Stormtrooper Corps. While the Stormtrooper Corps was a part of the Imperial Army, there are also other corps within the Imperial Army as well. The Imperial combat driver and all variations such as AT-AT pilot, AT-ST driver, AT-ACT driver, Tank driver, and Juggernaut pilot are part of the Imperial Combat Driver Corps and are not Stormtroopers. Mudtroopers are Imperial Army, plain and simple, and are not Stormtroopers otherwise all the soldiers seen on Mimban in Solo: A Star Wars Story would have been wet-weather gear Stormtroopers including Han.
That what i was thinking!
Storm trooper Corp is a part of the Imperial Navy..
@@mattparry1093 In Legends yes, the Stormtrooper Corps is part of the Imperial Navy. In Canon, the Stormtrooper Corps is part of the Imperial Army.
AT-AT, AT-ACT, Juggernaut, Tank pilots & Mudtroopers are not stormtroopers. They're regular Imperial Army.
Are all infantry Storm Troopers? You mention that Storm Troopers are elite troops. But I don't see who they could be elite above. I've seen the Mud Troopers, specifically the ones in the first battle scene of Solo, referred to as part of the Imperial Army, a distinct, more common, and somewhat lower grade of entity from the Storm Trooper Corps which were more like the Marines.
The stormtrooper Corp is above the imperial army and imperial navy troopers. Also a lot of the troopers mentioned here like the mud trooper and most of the pilots are army not stormtrooper Corp
Storm troopers were not the main force of the imperial military. The imperial army is a separate branch then the storm trooper corps. The imperial army was mostly immobile, while storm troopers were more like an expeditionary force. (Also mud troopers are apart of the imperial army, not the storm trooper corp.)
Nice username btw . Is there anywhere where I can read more about the main imperial army, because would it not have made more sense for the empire to employ the entire (or atleast many) of the main army force when capturing and maintaining a vital position such as endor? Thanks in advance for any responses:)
@@catpicton5814 The stormtroopers are employed to deal with high priority threats. That’s why you always see them in the movies, the imperial army is basically just a minor security force stationed on bases and planets. (Sorry for responding late btw)
I wonder if the flame trooper from fallen order is wearing fire proof gear while the incinerator is when they have lack of flame troopers uniform and have to use standard imperial with red markings instead.
I think stormtrooper armour and padding is flame *resistant*, and presumably incinerator troopers' have slightly modified versions giving more of that
It has literally appeared in The Force Unleashed on Kashyyyk as a part of the Empire at it's peak where it held absolute undisputed control over the galaxy, before the Rebel Alliance even existed
@@scoutman66 It did? I thought it was created for JFO by Disney. I think that is right.
@@tk-6967 The one you see in Fallen Order is a different one. The Incinerator Trooper with the red markings is used for crowd control and burning out enemy fortifications. The one you see in Fallen Order on Kashyyyk is more designed to take on local wildlife, which is why it has a less powerful flamethrower
@@scoutman66 Oh sorry, what I meant was that I thought that flame troopers were first shown in games by JFO, I didn't know incinerator troopers were from TFU
I don't normally disagree with you and your knowledge of canonical material.
However I think a lot of "Troopers" you have here are Imperial Army not the Stormtrooper Corps. They are different branches of the Imperial military after all.
Unfortunately some of the visual dictionary, comic book, video game, and novel writers (and to some extent even tv show and movie makers) don't seem to remember this distinction. As some one who spent time in a real world military their would definitely be a distinction.
The Stormtroopers are shock/assault troops, used for ship boarding, decisive attacks and initial occupational forces. They are chosen not just for their skill at academies but there loyalty and devotion to the Empire and Palpatine, they represent an elite force. They also get monitored but loyalty officers a lot. With the exception of Snow Troopers, they are distinguished by their armor and helmets, if it looks mostly like a regular Stormtroopers they are part of the Corps.
If a military campaign is going to take awhile or you just need manpower and firepower you use the Imperial Army. The army is more numerous and consists of those trainees not good enough for the Stormtrooper Corps or Imperial Navy. This is where Han Solo got sent. They don't get glamorous nor glorious missions usually but they do get a lot more armored fighting vehicles and artillery. If the armor doesn't look like a Stormtroopers the individual under it is probably Imperial Army not Stormtrooper Corps. The armor is less protective and often bulkier than Stormtrooper armor, expenses were spared on these soldiers.
yeah i was thinking this alot cause this video implies han solo was a stormtrooper (which he wasnt)
Apparently most of the land vehicles stormtroopers typically deploy with are technically imperial army as well. I think it's a bit of a clusterfuck because stormtroopers seem to fill so many categories, but I do think it makes sense that the imperial army are the ones who do most of the trench warfare, even if that kind of thing is literally all they do. Stormtroopers seem to be variously elite shock troops, ship boarding action specialists, hazardous environment specialists, a police force, a more political force... I think if you confine the imperial army to action like on mimban, and give basically every other role to stormtroopers, it kind of works fine. The imperial army should be rarely seen by most normal people because they only deploy in or near proper warzones. Stormtroopers should be seen with some regularity by most normal people because they are peacekeepers and law enforcement as well as elite soldiers. Stormtroopers are the face of the empire, the imperial army are a more expendable but in this time period not often useful force because there aren't many proper conventional wars happening in the age of the empire, it's all insurgencies.
@@Shot5hells I think the one exception is the Mandalorian Sector Uprising. The response to a governor and ISD being destroyed was probably to send a legion of Stormtroopers to occupy Sundari, my guess is that failed the Uprising spread from Mandalor to its star system and then the entire Sector. At that point it involves mostly Imperial Navy and Army, it also becomes a propaganda gold mine for the Empire and a hindrance to the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
The Mandalorians although initially assisted by the Rebel Alliance cared nothing for the Republic and were fighting for an independent Mandalor. COMPNOR probably loved being able to make the Mandalorians bad guys and down play rebel groups as minor terrorists. It would be so easy because of the history of the Mandalorians and the associated myths and legends that almost every sentient species has either heard or was directly involved with. Why would anyone complain about resources going to the Imperial military as it fights to protect the galaxy from new wave of Mandalorian raids. Moff Gideon was probably only given authority to start the Mandalorian Purge near the end of the Empire.
While Mandalorians have a lot of advantages against Stormtroopers and elite forces, at this point in their history they don't have the ships to compete against the Imperial Navy, nor the man power to stop the Imperial Army on planets and moons.
Of course we might learn more in Season 3 of The Mandalorian, or a military scifi story about the Uprising and Purge.
@vargen1414
I appreciate the thought I'm just not sure I have the time to do a novel justice before the Mandalorian tells us what happens.
@@Shot5hells actually, the Stormtrooper Corps wasn't a political force, that would be CompForce. CompForce was the military arm of The Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR). COMPNOR handled things like Surveillance, interrogation, Re-Education, Enforcement, Investigations, Internal Affairs, and Special Operations. They also handled propaganda, schools, and directed the cultural achievements of the Empire. The Imperial Security Bureau was also under COMPNOR.
Think of COMPNOR as being the SS, the ISB as the Gestapo, and CompForce would be like the Waffen SS.
COMPNOR was explained in great detail in the Imperial Source book for the Star Wars RPG.
2:19 the scout trooper: aka Ezra’s favourite type of troop to Roleplay as- i mean disguise himself as…
he likes to put the imperial handcuffs on sabine....
Heheeheh
Amazed that he missed one walker pilot out and it a big one, the AT-ST Driver. Opps. Still great to see all the types.
Yes, he also missed the AT - DP Driver and ITT Driver.
Do those really count as stormtrooper variants tho?
@@StarNameKev Well he did say them, so I guess so. Maybe they take pilots out of the stormtrooper core.
@@greemander4009 Yep. Maybe we should add tie pilots as well. :)
AT-ST pilots are part of the Army. Their uniform is a big giveaway
A few that were missed, the undead Death Troopers from the Legends book of the same name have been recanonized, and were utilized as the in-universe reason why the Deathtroopers from Rogue One have their name. Then the Imperial Transport Trooper, another one of the Hover Tank/Juggernaut variants but with blue markings, that accompanies space transport ships, as seen in Vader Immortal and the Castle Vader Lego set. Lastly the Dark Troopers of course, being recanonized by Mandalorian Season 2
How are you the only one to mention Dark Troopers?
The Dark Troopers are droids, they don't count as a Stormtrooper variant.
And, of course, the Executioner Stormtrooper... very niche unit but I feel it deserves a mention
The undead death troopers are zombies and i dont think zombies work for the galactic empire
@@dessirangelova2676 They were an experiment by the Empire and used by them as a weapon, so sure they could be classified as "sentient weapon" instead of "Stormtrooper", but their designation and origin as regular Stormtroopers would still put them in the Stormtrooper category
I personally have been a major fan of Shoretrooper armor ever since it first appeared and it has stayed my favorite even with new and cool variants showing up like Range troopers. The Shoretrooper design just feels so grounded and real, and the efficiently simple color palette works in almost any environment, not just tropical areas.
Kind of sad how the coolest looking storm and clone troopers only show up once and then barely ever again
To me, every imperial trooper with dark armor are the coolest.
Aren't mud troopers supposed to be part of the imperial army rather than the stormtrooper corps?
PLEASE do a video on Imperial Army troopers and Imperial Navy troopers. There's a huge misconception in the Star Wars fandom that stormtroopers were the standard Imperial soldier, but they weren't
Well, in canon in later years Army Troopers were phased out completely in favor of more funding towards the stormtroopers and their academies. By the time of Rebels you would automatically become a stormtrooper and enter into the academy to become one upon graduation.
Ever since I first saw shoretroopers and tank troopers I have fallen in love with the new armor
So many great designs and additions over the years.
Except scar squadron, a bleh fanfiction level concept.
Agreed
They really just stole the bad batch's name lmao
