Stormtroopers are actually my favorite Sci-fi military force. They're actually pretty decently equipped, and had so much more potential with competent training and when not being wasted in a policing role that a PDF or local police force can perform. All this just shows that when soldiers pledge their allegiance to an individual as opposed to the society as a whole. It becomes more dangerous for everyone involved.

In 55 years of interest in military history, I can say I have never found a military that is comparable to the Imperial Storm Trooper Corp that did not have a significant percentage of officers that were flexible in their interpretation of regulations and orders. I have never found a military that has successfully stopped comradeship. Never underestimate the low animal cunning of the common soldier and their determination to have comradeship. The most determined stormtroopers will defeat the system and develop their own version comradeship that would work for them even if it would not make sense to us. But the more I know the more I discover how little I know, so I could be very wrong.
I think this why American troops stay a little more balanced in combat. Sure some folks kinda loose it, but by and large we police ourselves, don't let things go to far, we solve problems at the lowest level possible. We don't need officers telling us what to do, in fact we could go days without seeing them. If you have a unit where officers are demanding the enlisted to do immoral things, it can get ugly fast. So we would hear units from western Europe on the radio calling for assistance because they lost their officer. The enlisted can't make decisions. They got really excited when they heard Americans Roger up; "Sit tight, we're on our way!" Anyone else either won't or they negotiate for something in return, yanks don't do that. If we're not on a critical mission, we're gonna help. I always thought that was such a bizarre thing to not have sr enlisted making decisions.
@@charlescowan6121 While what your saying is true for the most part, there's so many soldiers that are arrested for refusing orders. I agree its good to question orders and over time our military has improved on that front, it doesn't stop for corrupted military leaders having soldiers dishonorably discharged and put in jail for refusing a super questionable order. Our military right now is seeing bottom level recruitment with no major incentive to join. Our military for a short time in 2020-2022 focused on diversity training as leaked by many soldiers and higher ups. Also the treatment of veterans and their healthcare is treated like crap. There's a reason about one third of our homeless are veterans and don't know how to cope with PTSD in a healthy way. If people saw the veterans getting the best healthcare possible, and helped reintroduced to life, got paid more and get a huge tax reduction, we may see massive improvements to our military. I fully support anyone who wants to serve and protect America and our Allies. Its just super disorganized right now. A guy I worked with was a Desert STorm veteran. You can tell he was still on edge despite how friendly and kind he was.
Great vid. Would love to hear more of this kind of stuff. I love the stories from everyday people. Sure the important people at the top are cool but i can really relate to the everyday guy.
I keep hearing and reading about the helmet-mounted displays and other tech within the Imperial Stormtrooper armour. It's a shame we don't get to see the POVs from first-person shooters (like in the Halo games for the Spartans' and ODSTs' helmets and the Republic Commando game for the Clone Commandos' helmets) where players get to play as Imperial Stormtroopers and see examples of the mentioned tech from the first-person shooter perspective. From the descriptions, it sounds like plastoid armour functions analogously to real-world ballistic soft armour (like Kevlar) and hard-plate ceramic composite armour, i.e. they take the brunt of the damage. However, the wearer might still get nasty bruises and maybe some cracked ribs at worst, with both types of body armour materials needing to be replaced after the hits.

I imagine that being a stormtrooper from Sullust had more drawbacks than most people realize. For starters, there was a large population of Alderaanians living on the planet of Sullust when the planet of Alderaan itself was destroyed by the Empire, so there would then be a large population of anti-imperials on the planet, both Alderaanian and natural born Sullustans who were friends and even family of the Alderaanians. In addition to this threat to anyone wearing a stormtrooper uniform, the planet was inhabited by large subterranean creatures called "rockrenders" that could burrow quickly through the planet's hard rock surface and preferred to eat materials rich in minerals such as stormtrooper armor as opposed to plain human/humanoid flesh. (This information from the "Princess Leia" comic book series.) (edit: planet identity clarification fix)
Given all the brainwashing they apparently go through, that fearlessness is probably more of a lack of any self-preservation instincts that bravery. It's probably also better to die in battle than risk annoying Lord Vader or another higher-up.
It is an neat bit of story telling that, as things get uglier and the conflict intensifies, SP475's armor gets dirtier and more scuffed. That borrows from Sam Peckinpah's Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974) and that is a great call back.
My favorite is the storm troopers in the Bad Batch. They’ve been at the job for only a few weeks and are suddenly getting taken out by clone commando’s with a vendetta 😂
It’s very coincidental how my recent UA-cam watch history went from “The Hero who Stood Up to the Mai Lai Massacre (1968)” by Simple History to “A Day in the Life of a Stormtrooper” by Generation Tech.

A lot of people would do well to consider groupthink in the context of real-world politics. I can only speak to America of course, but here there's this notion that "I'm only voting for politician A because of issue(s) X, Y, and/or Z, so I'm not responsible for whatever else they do." People will vote a certain way but feel it's completely unfair to be judged by their party, or the judges their party appoints, or other things the party does. And I'm not talking about some one-off mistake where you voted for someone who turned out to be completely different than expected. I'm talking about voting for people who stand for very specific terrible things, consistently, over years, and yet somehow thinking you're not responsible for those terrible things when they happen.
Yes. Anakin thought he was helping to bring balance and peace. To stop all the warring. In his mind he was doing good though the dark side. Kinda like a fine line between genius and insane.
We're all monsters. No one is innocent. No one. Sidious understands this. Vader does. As does Yoda and Luke. They get it better. Jedi on a whole? Too busy trying to claim some deluded moral high ground that doesn't even exist. Anakin learned that the hard way. Think Obi Won let himself get killed because he couldn't live knowing he was a coward? He knows he failed Anakin/Vader after all.
@@knightmare5097 I mean yeah, every time we see them they are fighting the main characters and failing miserably. But when they aren’t fighting main characters with plot armour we hear of how everyone’s scared of them etc
I never understood the pathology behind why movies make the henchmen of the villain appear as mistreated and poorly and then cut to the main character brutally murdering them in droves as if they deserve it and they aren't human beings who've been placed into a rough situation
a cop show with storm troopers on the lower levels of the Coruscant dealing with rebels. this show should give both perspectives but the main character will be a storm trooper.
So those stormtroopers who were talking about that new BT-16 while guarding the tractor beam on the Death Star, were actually taking a huge risk and might get into alot of trouble for it..?
I watched this entire video. It gave me nightmares of my past, back when I was a conscript in the stormtrooper corps for the money. I quickly learned the Empire is evil. I believe in democracy and the Republic. I, am Generation Tech.
What is the point of standardized body armor, if said armor can not stop small-arms fire from low powered weapons ( example: handheld blasters ) ? Since it is cannon the Galactic Empire had severe financial problems, wouldn't it be cheaper just to issue standard cloth uniforms with a helmet?
Her armor protected her several times, once when she was hit by a sniper bolt and when she was protected from the explosion. So it's not useless; without the armor she would have died twice.
@@spoktv3343 It is called "plot armor" :) In the movies and television shows over the years, a storm trooper can easily be killed by a single blaster shot.
Depends on why people wear the mask. If you hide behind it to use it as an excuse to avoid accountability then the statement is false. This would be a concern for Jonah Jameson when it comes to Spiderman.
@taramaforhaikido7272 Anonymity significantly reduces your accountability as the only person you have to answer to is yourself. 4Chan is a great example of this. Many users are anonymous, and they act differently than if they were not anonymous.
This is one of the reasons andor was my favorite Star Wars shows. They actually showed stormtroopers as competent
Shooting unarmed civilians isn't competent. When things shoot back the Stormtroopers are useless
Andor, the only competent piece of star wars media that came out from disney..

Generation Tech 💯
Ok, wish for a day in life of a PMC in Star Wars.
Quantity has a quality all on its own
TK troopers for the win!
hi what are your expectations for Skeleton Crew?
I do hope it’s better than the Acolytes
Haven’t looked into yet

New shipment of light sabres to inventory?
Thanks Alan👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I never understood the pathology behind why movies make the henchmen of the villain appear as mistreated and poorly and then cut to the main character brutally murdering them in droves as if they deserve it and they aren't human beings who've been placed into a rough situation
Hmm, let me check all of those Larry The Stormtrooper videos, again.
Take care, and all the best.
Long live the empire
That opening 25 seconds was Stormtroopers getting they asses kicked porn
a cop show with storm troopers on the lower levels of the Coruscant dealing with rebels. this show should give both perspectives but the main character will be a storm trooper.
So those stormtroopers who were talking about that new BT-16 while guarding the tractor beam on the Death Star, were actually taking a huge risk and might get into alot of trouble for it..?
Sir can you explained the technology of Andor Luthen he used to escape the tractor beam ?

The empire is the right side
Very Nice 💛
I watched this entire video. It gave me nightmares of my past, back when I was a conscript in the stormtrooper corps for the money.
I quickly learned the Empire is evil. I believe in democracy and the Republic. I, am Generation Tech.
What is the point of standardized body armor, if said armor can not stop small-arms fire from low powered weapons ( example: handheld blasters ) ?
Since it is cannon the Galactic Empire had severe financial problems, wouldn't it be cheaper just to issue standard cloth uniforms with a helmet?
Her armor protected her several times, once when she was hit by a sniper bolt and when she was protected from the explosion. So it's not useless; without the armor she would have died twice.
@@spoktv3343 It is called "plot armor" :) In the movies and television shows over the years, a storm trooper can easily be killed by a single blaster shot.
@@ricks5756 Most of them don't die, Like in Rebels Stromtrooper offten move after being shoot.
It was close range. Blasters are close range weapons. At range the shot might lose impact. Thus armor having a use.
His name is what? His name is who? His name is huh? *turntable scratch* His names Allen
Excelsior!
nice video
I am a storm trooper my life sucks...
What i learned from the movies. The armour does nothing. You cant aim. The helmet restricts vision.
You are kind of short for a storm trooper
You know who would make a perfect stormtrooper? LEROY JANKINS!!!
11:10 when someone wears a mask that's when you can truly see them
very true
Depends on why people wear the mask. If you hide behind it to use it as an excuse to avoid accountability then the statement is false. This would be a concern for Jonah Jameson when it comes to Spiderman.
@taramaforhaikido7272 Anonymity significantly reduces your accountability as the only person you have to answer to is yourself. 4Chan is a great example of this. Many users are anonymous, and they act differently than if they were not anonymous.
Only other time of heard of sullust is from the battlefront map
OK. Well I just finished Catalyst. Twilight Company seems as good a book to jump into next eh?
Did he mean to leave in all 4 "sign off" takes? Congo might be slippin😅
Does my financed speeder come with Jawa insurance?
I have a question I'd love you to address.
Why are armored Imperial Stormtroopers taken out by someone hitting them with a stick?
