Han shot one of them. And according to EU, another was shot in friendly-fire.

 

I'd say the best action the Stormtroopers were in was boarding the Tantive IV.

 

 

Oh you're right, or he got knocked over from shrapnel. Forgot about that!

 

Was the "friendly fire" that BS story about how the "look sir, droids!" guy felt guilty about all the murdering he'd been doing and killed his commanding officer in order to escape and join the Rebels? ;)

 

As to the Tantive IV action, I don't see what was so great about the Troopers. Sure, they showed nerves of steal moving into that deathtrap, but other than their apparent ability to see through smoke and having a larger force, it doesn't show them as particularly skilled, just disciplined. The Tatooine troopers show their relentlessness, admittedly offscreen against weak targets, but it just shows better their utterly ruthelss pursuit of their goals, plus you can see they are loaded down with special gear.

 

But, in terms of showing them IN action I suppose you have a point. ;)

 

The courage of the Stormtroopers gets the better of them in ROTJ when they race off into the woods chasing a few teddy bears, only to get ambushed by said teddies. ;)

Killed the person who ordered him to murder. Doesn't sound too unreasonable.

 

He should have killed his superior back before he killed the Lar's, or before he killed the Jawas... oh well, better late than never.

 

Maybe he was hoping he'd avoid a war crimes trial by the Rebels if he killed some Imps on his way out...?

Yeah. Trooper Davin Felth was traumatised by the order to murder defenceless civilians(Owen & Beru Lars) ... There is a bit more backstory... Its a great little story in the "Tales from Mos Eisley" Anthology

I think the clonetroopers were better as far as look, they had some cooler uniforms and I liked the battle scars; I was more realistic for me that it would be dirty, scarred, punctured, and would have paint from each battalion, since they probably took a lot of pride in which part of the army they were from. The stormtroopers are just plain clean white, and have no distinction at all, I think that is because of the time period they were in, Vader wouldn't care for individuals in his army. More of an evil thing.

 

The stormtroopers I am guessing would actually have the better equipment and weapons as they are later on and more advanced, although the movies were made backwards so the technology looks backward.

well. the clones wore special armor for there type of duty. thee color was so they could be easily noticed what they specialize in. it was also stupid because hey if i have ships that dont like rockets why not target arc troopers? and the stormtroopers have officer uniforms and pilot uniforms etc. the are more a universal warrior. one troop could do what 3 clones could do. and the storm trooper action ... well have you seen ep.5? the storm troopers dominated hoth. the there were also at-ats but storm trooper deaths were vary small amount compared to the rebels deaths.

Hmm, the Republic stormtroopers were CGI, while the Empire's Stormtroopers were extras in costumes.

 

So in a fight the extras could smash the computers with their prop guns, while the computers would be powerless to fight back (though the might electrocute some of the extras as they were being smashed if they didn't cut the power first).

 

Even though many of these extras are probably middle aged or older by now, they can still put up a good fight. The computers may be shiny and new, but they have little defense against the onslaught!

 

I give this one to the Empire's troops. ;)
