How Strong Was Stormtrooper Armor? Star Wars Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2017
- In Star Wars we see Stormtroopers easily die from one single blaster shot, or do they? In this video we'll go into the origins of their armour, what it was made from, and how certain enemies caused them fatalities or mere injuries.

Lasers are red
The Death Star is round
It's over anakin
I have the high ground
Cabaret Macabre beautiful. truly beautiful.
Cabaret Macabre Thank you!
Cabaret Macabre thankyou for making my day
My saber is red.
Yellow are my eyes.
Did you ever hear the tragedy..
..Of Darth Plagues the Wise?
Cabaret Macabre beautiful poem bro 😉
What if Palpatine accidentally executed order 65?
"Commander Cody, the time has come... Execute order 65!"
"Will be done my Lord."
"OH SHIT NO! I MEANT ORDER 66! 66!"
*Clones burst into office*
"It's treaso..." *Gets blasted 10 million times*
XDD Amazing humour you got there. Hellooooo thereeeee.
Alan Rotenflesh Thanks :)
Berzerk Llama Lol
The Force Noice Mate!
Darth Vader True
What if anakin decided to split off from both sides of the force and ran off with Padme after learning the truth about palpatine? He runs off and seeks a more balanced force position and forms a separate faction later, with his children by his side. Padme wouldn't be dead and he'd be his true potential and more powerful than his exclusively light or dark versions imo. The sky walkers would spread their teachings so they'd have other followers as well as the main family.
RabidTardigrade And so begins the Fifth Great Schism.
RabidTardigrade I would prefer this more than what actually happened.
RabidTardigrade will there be stormtroopers
pretty sure if this happened anakin and his kids will be at war with the jedi council. the jedi council will see them as heretic, pretty much the same how the catholic church sees science.
RabidTardigrade that's fanfiction material.
Clone armor is my favorite and Always
Gaming. exe for sure my friend. Clones are the best.
Thanks!
Gaming. exe me too
It was stronger though sense they could take up to 4 to 5 hits directly from a laser
Always my favorite
They can at least 2 or 3 hits
_If Stormtrooper helmets could see power levels, why couldn't they see that Luke was way too strong for them?_
Swagbito Uchiha --- *smh*.... Not power levels of people... Things like vehicles, buildings, their own weapons...
Lol not like Vegeta's scouter
Star Wars Theory. great video. I have a question can you look up the best armor in the Star Wars universe and make a video on how strong it really was lease. I would love to hear what you have to say about it.
Swagbito Uchiha IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!
Swagbito Uchiha no why do stormtroopers fire at jedis instead od running
What if Yoda took Luke to Dagobah when he was a baby?
Give up, I will not.
Roaring Rayquaza This needs to happen.
YES
Roaring Rayquaza
then we wouldn't understand him
This one would be fantastic. Just imagine the range of possibilities!
PLEASEEEEE!! *DO BOBA AND JANGO FETT'S ARMORS!!!!!*
Mandalorian?
That would be cool actually
Not Pulverman Just look it up. The Republic Commando novels explain the armour's material.
Not Pulverman same armor xd
Beskar metal
@@etienne2069 it’s actually durasteel
I am currently watching SW Rebels and I noticed that sometimes, when a stormtrooper takes a direct hit, they continue to move slightly. That definitely proves that they are not dead, just unconscious and possibly wounded. Also Kallus, when trapped in on a Geonosis moon, was telling a story and mentions "I was knocked out by the first blast". He obviously survived without trouble.
What If Luke went to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters?
Phase II Clone armor ftw!
Helliarch J I keep thinking ftw means fu*k the what
The Force for the win
Clone trooper armor
Chris Butler they had stronger armour
Their armor is not strong than stormtroopers because of it not comfortable than stormtroopers. Stormtroopers armor is better than clone armor because of it comfortable than clone armor
Dan Sheetz Yeah, Phase two Armour is better than Storm trooper.
I really love the Phase II Clone Trooper armor. The coolest in my opinion. Covering Mandalorian armor such as Jango Fett's would be pretty cool.
could non clones join the republic army as troopers?
anonymous anonymous If they were Jedi, then yes, obviously, otherwise, I don't believe so.
Wrong. There were many non-clone enlisted troopers. The clones just dwarfed them and hence we don't see them often.
anonymous anonymous yes, some jedi did not trust clones and had troops gathered from volunteers.
Emeth Parzifal the jedi Rahm Kota didnt trust clones and made his own militia, but it was a militia i dont think he was officially a part of the republic army, so my guess is no, you cant join the republic army as trooper.
chapasproject do not forget many prominent non clones served as officers or translators or even medics in the republic army
I remember hearing somewhere that Stormtrooper armor could, infact, stop a direct blaster shot indefinitely. It was something in how the armor spread the impact throughout the wearer's body. Think of it like getting punched by somebody when you get shot. They would be rendered unconsciousness, but they would survive.
What about what if jango fett survived geonosis
Can't survive a cut off head. Mace muthafuckin Winduuuuuuu
Kandi Klover "I'm tired of these Muthafuckin' Siths on the this Muthafuckin' Planet!.. I'm gonna open me some windows.." M. Windu
Stormtroopers and TIE Pilots will always be my favorites, as I'm an Imperial fan. And honestly I think they look by far the coolest, and the most menacing.
What about the Old Republic soldier's armor, Republic Commando armor, or the Old Republic Mandlorian armor specs?
^ The Old Republic soldier armor as seen in the KOTOR MMO game, not the original KOTOR stuff....
Also, perhaps the Sith Soldier armor as well?
Was the Old Republic Mandalorian armour made out of beskar?
ViolentScorl No clue, that's why I'm hoping for a video about them from him.
That, and that armor reminds me a bit of that Alpha Big Daddy diving suit from Bioshock 2, just waaaay less bulky for obvious reasons....
+Firestarter There is an uncanny similarity, I give you that ;)
ViolentScorl Mostly in the old diving helmet design, which I'm almost 99% certain it was inspired by, as I don't know where else you'd get a visor/viewport like that anywhere else from in history....
Boba Fett 's armor please
Gallema Nyes He may just want Jango's
I think the reason why they die or get knocked out so easy is simply plot armor or lack thereof. I believe they're way tougher canon-wise
people forget most body armour gets pretty messed up when shot point blank, helmets the U.S and Russian military use might stop a bullet, but would give you pretty bad head trauma, and we always see them get shot at a comfortable range for enemy blasters, it could hold better at longer ranges, even The Mandalorian said when he was getting sniped that the ''Beskar held up at this range'' if he was standing closer to the enemy sniper even beskar steel would have caved in, like how modern beretta 50.cal sniper rifles are incredibly powerful not so they rip through the enemy at close range, but so they do the same damage as a regular gun but at a far longer range because the decrease of power over time would still render the projectile useful.
Clones!
Please do "What if George Lucas wasn't born" as it was his Birthday yesterday.
I don't want to imagine a world without Lucas. Don't bring these dark thoughts to my head.
Preston Jones let the darkness fill your mind. Give in to your emotions!
Screen Ninja I would've killed myself.
Why do you speak of such darkness
Screen Ninja One of my favourite things would never have been invented: Star Wars
What if I fell in love with Ahsoka instead of padme
Then most likely it would be found out (If the relationship with Pamdé is any indication, you seem to have a phobia of closed doors). Hiding a secret marriage is one thing, but hiding both a wife and an underage mistress? That takes more skill than even the mighty General Skywalker has. Now, when you are discovered with an underage girl, there will likely be an investigation since you would likely be arrested for statutory rape. This investigation will also turn up your marriage to Padmé (can you be expelled from the Jedi Order twice?) who will surely catch wind of your infidelity and immediately file for divorce because 1. You cheated on her and 2. It was with a kid. Your actions would likely follow her for the rest of her political career since her opponents would inevitably accuse her of hiding her husband's pedophilia and the reputation of the Jedi Order would be stained for years, if not generations, to come (e.g. Catholic Priests).
why would you fall in love with your own padawan? that's just weird.
Anakin skywalker Jail
Alex Mason lol
pedo-wan
dude, you put so much effort into these videos you should totally get some money for them! don't feel bad about donations, heck you should probably put some ads on the front of these videos if you can.
Thank you SWT for all your excellent work in bringing these videos to us! You are awesome...
i say clone trooper armor is my favorite
Mykel Allen Phase I or Phase II?
Preston Jones both obviously
Totally
mine too!
Mykel Allen same but I still would like to know the upgrades he First Order made to the armor
Please do what if Count Dooku was with Qui Gon Gin & Obi Wan Kenobi on Nabo fighting Darth Mual.
Alright, after a month and a half of watching your channel I finally subscribed. Easily, one of two, top channels here on UA-cam that have awesome Star Wars content that are refreshing and entertaining to watch man. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

You're a legend buddy. This is my new favorite UA-cam channel!
great video! I'd love to see what changes were made to the first order armor!! 😁
What if I went to Naboo with Padmè in attack of the clones.
Obi-Wan Kenobi Then you (me) would've spent some quality time with Padme... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Obi-Wan Kenobi ahw yeahhhhh
Obi-Wan? Would you like to come in for some milk?

Obi-Wan Kenobi always on the move
Obi-Wan Kenobi the Senate will decide that...
Greetings, Master Kenobi!
i love the channel! keep the quality content coming
This video made me subscribe to your channel. Awesome job man!
What if Commander Appo and the 501st killed Senator Organa during the temple raid?
Some "What if" Ideas:
What if Maul and Savage killed Palpatine on Mandalor?
What if one of Ventress' plots to kill Dooku was successful?
What if Depa Billaba survived order 66 with Kanan?
What if Chancellor Valorum sent reinforcements to Naboo to stop Maul and the trade federation?
What if Sifo Dyas survived the crash that killed him?
What if Mother Talzin became Sidious' apprentice?
What if Yoda and Obi-Wan took both Luke and Leia to Dagobah as infants and immediately began training them?
What if the nightsisters defeated Grievous when he invaded Dathomir?
What if Darth Vader (or Maul) was able to activate the superweapon on Malachor?
What if the Jedi executed order 65 when they found out that Palpatine was a sith lord?
What if Dooku never left the Jedi order and tried to reform it from within, possibly with the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Sifo Dyas?
What if Jango Fett didn't agree to be cloned?
What if Obi-Wan left the Jedi to live with Satine?
OMG that picture for jungle environment! One of the greatest stormtroopers! GARY!!!
i love your videos you know so much about star wars
What if I fell in love with Obi-Wan instead of Anakin?
Padmé Amidala Well I'd like that... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Obi-Wan Kenobi LOL sliding into those dm's i see
Obi-Wan, being frank isn't bad.
That would be an amazing story
Smearcats 😂
Do what if yoda was a sith
this channels is awsome!
LOVED the clone Arch trooper armor
Hey when you were thanking all of your faithful supporters like myself, i noticed that you were using a really good sounding force theme and i was hoping that you could tell me what it is. thank you very much and keep up the astonishing work with those videos
What if mace windu ordered order 65 when he was blasted out the window
Clone armor is the coolest by far...
Nice vid dude keep it up
I LOVE the look and design of the various Clone Trooper armor, enough said.
What if Grievous killed Obi-Wan on Utapau
Good question!
What if the duchess survived and fell for obi wan
Brandon Garcia ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The Clone armor is definitely my favorite as the variety is higher and just overall looks sick
Great job man! You are the best! :-)
How Strong Was clone trooper Armor.
Was better and thicker armor than the stormtrooper armor
And you could actually see with it, and it came with more customizable features and was just badass in general and had more comfort.
@ besides the helmet stormtrooper armor was good for keeping an individual alive. Also many people don't take into effect that b1 battle droids didn't have armor piercing blasters. The stormtrooper helmet sucked because some special vision built into it made it hard to see, however everything else was actually decent. Stormtroopers had ray shields on armor while clones did not.
Plastic?
It's easier to make them into action figures then
Kevlar is also hardened plastic, so there is that
Please do one on Clone Troopers but keep up this armor videos these are pretty interesting
Nice. You just earned yourself a new subscriber.
Can you do a video on what if the Jedi council discovered the existence of snoke
Please do both clone armours.
After seeing Jyn, a tiny 5'3" woman, take out Stormtroopers with batons, that was pretty much the final straw on convincing me the Stormtrooper armor was any good. That was absolutely ridiculous, even considering the Ewoks. I dread what the Clonetrooper armor would've been like if the Stormtrooper armor was technically an upgrade from that. I'm very curious about the First Order Stormtroopers though. I'd love to learn the specs of that armor from you. Great video!
Love your videos👍
what if luke joined the imperial academy?
Roger Roger
B1 Battle droid Help me take over Naboo again, they won't be able to stop you by exploding the control ship this time.
I love all of them! but I really like the personalization that the Clone armor gets with the colored markings
Keep up the great work! I really the videos.
Empire & First Order 💪🏻👌🏻
No
First order is trash
Empire !
You should do a Ahsoka video
Ahsoka Tano *BIAS MUCH?*
Ahsoka my love
Love these videos
great editing
They were taken out by ewokes and rocks,SO basically like paper.
Delta117 bro it's a bad screenplay but that's Canon like in the star wars universe the most elite army was taken out by sticks n stones
Something cool to realize here. In Star Wars a new hope I think it was, where the ewoks fought the storm troopers in that one scene. They used spears and arrows and won, and the reason I think they won is because the storm trooper's armour was meant for lasers and really didn't have any penetration protection you could say. Just something that was on my mind the other day and I'm works perfectly with this video :) I haven't watched this yet so he might already cover it aha
Thank you lol I couldn't remember which one it was
Ryley Robinson I thought they also protect the wearer from fragments
Its also because in the original script they were mean't to be wookiees, and getting hit by a rock thrown by one of them would easily kill someone even in armour, I mean if they have the strength to rip someones arms off they can probably chuck a rock pretty hard.
Fijat SpinarZ hurts me that someone couldn't know such a basic piece if info...
Despite the Ewoks cuddly appearance they were still many times stronger than a human. The armor was not suited to resist that sort of blunt force. It's very much like real life kelver which can protect the wearer from bullets but would not offer much protection against a blow from a baseball bat.
Nice Video :)
great vid, I think this will be more explored in the new book about stormtroopers only before TLJ. I guess it's fair to say that stormtroopers survive many hits, since it's canon in Star Wars Rebels that they still move after a hit (as it conveniently also shows less violence to the younger audience) ;-)
Rip the zillo beast
hey did the 2 people who sat next too palpatine in the scene where he talks to anakin about Darth plagus know he was a sith Lord
3rd Age Tim yes they knew, both Vice Chancellor Mas Amedda (blue guy with horns) and Chancellor's Secretary Sly Moore (pale bald woman) were Palpatine's loyal servants
this answers one of my greatest questions about the franchise
what a great and insightful defining video about that crappy mass produced plastic armor ;) it stands as one of the most, if not the most iconic movie armor. imho, my favorite for sure Thanx for doing this one!
CLONES
what if padme was a jedi ( but anakin and her are still in live
PREZZ X 5 MD HD So she would also be force sensitive?
Obi-Wan Kenobi yes
Obi-Wan Kenobi can we be freinds i subbed
PREZZ X 5 MD HD Sure
The Force so sure wat?
In the 'Legends' book, Star Wars Young Jedi Knights: Lightsabers, it was explained in one scene that the armor was resistant to all physical force except blasters.
Darth Vader videos are always welcomed of course but ''How strong was/is mandalorian armor ?'' would be a great video I think :D
Thank you for all the videos SWT you really are the best.
What if the Tusken raiders killer anakin in AOTC?!?
Ž TV yes
What if Anakin couldn't kill the younglings?
Think about it: "Anakin, now Darth Vader, ignited his lightsaber. The younglings flinched. He could not breathe, they stood no chance against him. They were not Battle Droids or the traitorous Jedi, they were children. He thought of Padmé: they were soon to have a child of their own-the thought of killing a child and alienating her was too much. It would haunt him for the rest of his life, like a shadow. He closed his eyes, thinking carefully about his next move."
BURKE SULLIVAN then Skywalker said: "Come with me, I know a safe escape route for you"
To be continued... ;)
Agreement
'Anakin turned off his lightsaber, deep in thought. The younglings gathered around Skywalker, still unaware of the conflict within Anakin. Could he bring himself to strike down helpless children? In turmoil, he considered what Padme would say if she discovered his actions here. Finally he spoke. "Go. Run. Get away from the Temple and find other Jedi. I will distract the clones and direct them away from the hangar." Turning away and heading into the elevator, Anakin looked at the children before the doors closed. Deep in thought, he considered his actions. Is destroying the Jedi really the thing that will save Padme? Was the Chancellor manipulating him, lying to him? Pulling out his communicator, he contacted Clone Commander Appo. Manipulating the force to influence the Clone, he spoke; "Call off your men, commander. The Jedi Temple is done. We are finished here". That should give the Younglings and any surviving Jedi time to escape, he thought. Now, he needed to see Palpatine and confront him about this massacre. If Palpatine had lied to him about Padme, he would pay dearly for his manipulation...
that would be cool
Darth Playroom the Wise episode 3 beta, and beta trilogy
Yes, I'd like to hear about the First Order Armor upgrades.
Phase 1 clone troopers captured my imagination the most as a kid because they actualized my desire for a hero in badass white plasteel armor. After seeing the Battle of Muunilist episodes on Star Wars: Clone Wars in 2003, there was nothing that could have made me happier as a child than ARC trooping. Oh well, maybe someday. The Phase 1 clones were my heroes growing up. Like the troopers in Galactic Battlegrounds always say, "Good guys wear white." That's how I like my troopers best.
What if Anakin fell in love with Ahsoka Tano? Pleeease ;)
kondeya Tano what are you? Some kind of creepy sexually active kid from kinky deviantart?
nah i'm just supporter of Anisoka xD
kondeya Tano but isnt she 16?
i think u are right but it's only a theory ya? But if it had happened galaxy could be a better place ;)
kondeya Tano same.
How about mandalorian armor?
I'd note that during the detention block scene, the first stormtrooper through the door gets shot but the blast doesn't seem to penetrate his armor, in most others scenes in the series where a stormtroopers is hit we see the blast visibly burn a hole through their armor, complete with smoke and some flame. Also five stormtroopers breached the door, with one getting hit immediately. Then later on we see five stormtroopers again at the other end of hall. I guess you could chalk it up to production continuity errors, but it lends credence to fan theories that sometimes when stormtroopers are hit it only temporarily stuns them before they get back up and keep fighting.
My favorite out of all the armors? Looks-wise, I'm going to have to go with the Phase I Clone Trooper Armor. While it hadn't aided the Clones the way that the Phase II armor did, it was aesthetically pleasing to me.
Could do you a complete analysis of Boba Fett's and Jango Fett's armor and compare and contrast them?
Thank you, Star Wars Theory! I love you for your dedication and love of Star Wars, which is something we all share
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating... and it gets everywhere
Lazers are red
The death star is round
It's over Anakin
I have the high ground
mr Shedinja how original. Oh wait, its not.
"Their masks filter out smoke, not toxins."
-Finn
Clone Troopers! They are the best! Especally Fives!
Ideas for vids:
- What if Dooku turned Obi-Wan to the dark said in II
- What if Anakin joined the Father on Mortis
- What if Anakin joined the Son
- What if Obi-Wan killed Anakin on Mustafar
- What if Fives didn't die
Can you do armor analysis of the mandalorians please? And great video!
Why didn't the stormtroopers use camoflauge?
Some did, depending on their specialty. It was a rarity though and made little sense since white sticks out everywhere except the arctic planets.
Stormtroopers were meant to be seen. They were meant to instill fear into the subjects of the Empire. They were supposed to be an overwhelming force that would quell any uprising and so had no need for tactics because superior firepower would carry the day.
Didn't pan out too well when there was a force powerful enough to stand up to the garrisons.
Yeah they still did, but they can't help if their air support falters. Stormtroopers were also the best TRAINED soldiers in the galaxy at the time too.
How often are stormtroopers assaulting winter planets? Most of the time that we see them they're doing police duties on any number of worlds. That's where the visibility aspect comes from. The Empire is there and it is watching you. Just think, how easy is it to pick out a police car from the rest of traffic?
Everyone says that storm trooper armor is able to stopping bullets this is correct, if you take into account that the star wars galaxy never put much experimentation of bullets design and material R&D. They still use ww1&2 design lead bullets but if you take into account that then the reality then bullets of the 21st century would main or kill storm troopers because the bullets the military use in reality are built to punch through the kevlar ballistic alloys i.e. ballistic glass or the hard ceramic plastic compounds found in security and military use which according to Wookiepeida is the closet thing to plastioid we have. the point of this is that storm troopers armor would be ineffective if the enemy had steel alloy AP rounds like what the US/NATO uses and probably cheaper alternative for the rebellion to arm cells with while gathering blasters to be heaver hitting.
Kevin Kocher this was exactly what I was looking for thanks
Nice answer!
Also tungsten armor piercing rounds can go through that armor. Yet can u make it clear which kind of ballistic level is stormtrooper armor?
saying NO to already received money? you sir, have just gained a substantial amount more respect, from me! ;) and, as for which armor i prefer, it's the clone troopers. and i would like to see a video on the NEW orders, armor! :)
Yes please make a video about the first order trooper armor
clones he best
as a huge fan of boba fett i don't know that much about his armor so a video explaining it would be cool
Clones were so smart and survived for long, because they were not mind controlled.
Strong as tinfoil
I guess they make tinfoil buildings
Yes tinfoil buildings of the future great.
