The Kaminoan government’s scientists modified Jango Fett’s genotype for the purpose of producing loyal clones at an accelerated rate. Why did they use Jango Fett’s DNA?ĭuring the final years of the Galactic Republic, the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus recruited Jango Fett-a human bounty hunter-as the genetic template of a secret army of clone troopers. What is the most dangerous stormtrooper?ġ Dark Troopers The Dark Troopers were finally brought into the Star Wars canon and they were proven to be one of the most dangerous types of troopers ever created. It was only after the creation of the Empire that those hostilities were quashed and order restored. Imperial propaganda being what it was, these soldiers believed the Empire to be a good thing. The Stormtroopers in the original trilogy, and the Clone Troopers in the prequel trilogy are (as a generalisation) good. Obviously a stupid idea.The shadow stormtroopers, also known as Blackhole stormtroopers due to their association with Agent Blackhole, were specialized Imperial stormtroopers. That’s why lightsabers are non lethal in their Trilogy, and why Stormtroopers don’t die from Sabine’s explosives in the show.īut yeah, they just made it a joke in the Mandalorian. Apparently Disney doesn’t think kids can handle death in Star Wars anymore. I would say it was more of an effort to not show death in Rebels than having their aim be poor as a joke.
#WHY ARE STORMTROOPERS SO WEAK SERIES#
One of the times they were extra rebels was the series finale, where you see a few rebels get shot including the clone trooper Gregor. There are very few times when there is a firefight and we are not following main characters. To your Rebels point, I would say it’s the same point when it comes to their aim: plot armor.

They were just there to go down when Ewoks hit them with clubs on their helmets. I’m with you on the point about Stormtrooper aim, but where did you get that they “slaughtered Rebels and Ewoks in droves”? The only time I remember a Stormtrooper hitting anything on Endor was Leia getting wounded. Seems to me this trope is only being exacerbated by Disney. Then came the most egregious use of the trope: the final episode of the Mandalorian in which two Stormtroopers couldn’t hit a stationary object three feet in front of them.
#WHY ARE STORMTROOPERS SO WEAK FULL#
The only real place where we see the incompetent Stormtroopers trope on full display is in Disney shows or movies (which reinforces the idea that Disney doesn’t understand Star Wars at all.) In Rebels, the Stormtroopers were routinely made to look borderline retarded. Endor? They slaughtered Rebels and Ewiks in droves. Hoth? They practically walked right through the Rebels. When they took the Tantive IV? They lost one trooper, while the Rebels were slaughtered. Any time when they are seen shooting at people without plot armor, they mowed them down like grass. That’s because they’re main characters and have plot armor. Yes, they failed to hit Luke, Han, or Leia. More annoyingly, the trope isn’t even supported by onscreen evidence. Why should the Galaxy fear an Empire whose “elite troops” are a bunch of bumbling buffoons? I find this trope endlessly frustrating because it downplays the severity of threat that the Empire represents.

Okay, let’s talk about the “Stormtroopers are bad shots” trope!
