Stormtroopers: superior weapons and state-of-the-art armor Clonetroopers: best training and team logistics Battle droids: overwhelming strength in numbers Rebels: S P U N K
Colton Demerais I’m still trying to understand what you mean. I know it’s sarcasm and jokingly saying is it possible that Ewoks can take out clones in 1 hit with a rock. Also how is the quote relating
SS can’t hit anything. Obi wan mocked them for it when luke’s speeder was shot. And these ewoks are like snipers with rocks. It’s clear to me that the Ewok is the Deadliest Warrior.
Infantry strengths: Stormtroopers: overwhelming firepower Droids: unrelenting assaults Rebels: mobile and adaptable Clones: anything you can do, I can do better
They've got equipment only one step down from Stormtroopers (and indeed superior in some aspects), the Heart and creative thought of the Rebels, and the lifelong training and brotherhood of a warrior society. The only main downside would be that 10 years of breeding and training would be ludicrously expensive. Hence why the Empire went to the tried-and-true recruitment/conscription method the Republic had used to forge top-class soldiers for millenia; why spend bazillions of credits on an all-clone army when you can spend a lot less on soldiers that do the same job 90% as well and build more Star Destroyers with the savings?
Lucas castillo that’s Disney canon, and the vast majority of stormtrooper deaths were the result of IG11 committing a suicide bombing like the rebel scum it was.
The force is equivalent to one's life force. Starkiller survived a full penetration from a lightsaber. (He was born with the raw force sensitivity of a Jedi masfer.)
SUGGESTION: "Which Faction had the best Tactics/Strategy? Rebels: Hit and run tactics Empire: Fear/intimidation CIS: Massive swarms of troops Republic: Highly trained and bred from birth troops
Id say CIS because the amount of soldiers could easily overpower any army. They also can function in space without a suit. If one clone equals 10 battle droids, then there is 11 droids for it.
This needs more up-votes. Seeing as how these are each faction's defining behaviors, it would make for the most interesting 'factions compared' episode yet.
I would instead say CIS. With biological soldiers, morale is a factor, but that entire factor that could mean victory or defeat is taken out of the equation when you have a droid army. Also, it doesn't matter how well trained a soldier is, or how good their armour is, if one hundred droids can be made to counter that soldier.
I get the Stormtrooper armor, but the rebel armor? Wouldn’t th rebels have the most comfortable armor? They tend to wear like armor, increasing mobility don’t they? Also the thanos-patrick picture is incredible.
It was kind of unfair for the seppies. Their tactics focused on overwhelming the enemy with insane amounts of troops, rather then smaller amounts of better troops.
YourAsianComrade 26 the gear of the empire did not suck. In fact it was the opposite. A blast from a rebel gun could cause a massive explosion against a building but the stormtroopers are completely unaffected by the blast damage and moreover die by the kinetic energy hitting their armor and breaking their ribs and organs. You really don’t understand stormtroopers, do you?
Nicholas Harvey since when does air apply in space in Star Wars, star destroyers don’t have an oxygen tank, nor do star fighters or interceptors or transports
The CIS gunship suggests they could deploy troops the fastest. B1 battle droids could be built in a matter of hours, where as human soldiers took at least 20 years to become adequate soldiers, half that for Kaminoan clones and 1 year for Spartii clones.
it's actually a disadvantage in some ways if one of them is hostage since they did everything together some troopers emotions will do what the other side wants because their brother is hostage.
@@okminitz they are still professional soldiers who follow orders above all else. They wont risk their entire battalion of brothers to save a couple who are held hostage by ruthless droids who plan to kill them anyway.
It has to be the Republic. Their infantry were literally bred for combat, and they excelled. The Empire, though just regular people, is a close second. That is solely because they were regularly trained like an actual army. Plus, if you ignore the pop culture version of the Empire, they had the best standing army at the time. The CIS had weak droids at the beginning in the B1, but that was fixed in the B2. Also, they had extremely large numbers and the fact that they were programmed for combat helps. The Rebels were space terrorists. Every unit had its own organization, recruitment, and training because there was no set standardization across their military. That is why rebel forces routinely lost to imperial ground forces. So, my order would be, from best to worst, Republic, Empire, CIS, and Rebels.
Well, that's true for the units' training. They were differently equipped, however: the clones and Storm troopers were issued standardized armor, the droids could've been built to be harder but they were primarily inexpensive and so fragile. Meanwhile, the Rebels had the most powerful armor: plot armor.
Um rebel's are better than cis in my opinion cuz cis usually just stand in the open. Rebel's actually have brains and can adapt. But the cis can still win in numbers tho
There’s a theory that they don’t actually die, the armor disperses the damage, but the impact still knocks them out, but that’s it, they’re knocked out. Don’t know how much that holds up tho
One thing to consider about the storm troopers is that a lot of their misses can be chopped up to failing to hit the heroes, who need to survive. And if they happen to be force sensitive they can just kind of tell the Blaster bolt to miss. As far as a fighting force goes they’re well trained, heavily protected enough that some downed storm troopers just need to be rescued, and they’re infamously accurate in universe. It’s just hard to shoot a Jedi
I believe alot of the misses were intentional at least on the Death Star they were ordered to let the Falcon escape so they could use it to find the rebel base. We also find out in comics that Vader specifically ordered the Millennium Falcon not to be destroyed and ordered that the Falcon crew if found be brought in alive. These restrictions would hamper the troopers.
@@подэмерон clone literally train for their whole life and they only have one job to fight for the republic have a great armor good k/d ratio compare to battle droid had cool armor:ThE WoRsT aRmY
@@RobertDecker417 yeah, but the truth is the clones were bred, raised, and fought together to fight in a war. they were without the best of the four factions
Some deadly droids B3 Ultra Battle Droid, which has laser weapons, rocket launchers, a plasma cannon, and a flamethrower, Mace Windu and Saesee Tiin had to work together to kill one Mr Bones, highly intelligent B1 battle droid, painted black and red and right arm is replaced with a sharp blade, his wit took out an AT-ST not by destroying it, but by breaking in and butchering the pilots inside 000 and BT-1, two murderous droids, one a Protocol Droid, and another an Astromech Droid, 000, the Protocol Droid, has tons of different torture methods installed, and BT-1, the Astromech Droid, had a chain gun, mini rocket launchers, a flamethrower, and deadly lasers, and could wipe out platoons on its own Dark Troopers, Phase 3 to be exact, which had dozens of weapons, including a heartbeat detecting rocket launcher, it is also insanely durable against lightsabers last one I'll bring up is the B-1 A Air Battle Droid, which came equipped with heavy armor plating, a jetpack, wrist mounted blasters, and blades, even a shield that could resist lightsabers to a degree EDIT: added some stuff
The rebels is to put it simple just a space terrorists they don't have a standard military training. They have multiple cells each have their own way of training and recruitment. But I have to say the only advantage the droids has is that they are usually deployed in large numbers. But compare them as an individual soldier the battle droids is probably the worst because they have limited programming they have no free will meaning no creativity at all, and they are extremely innacurate with their blasters if compared to the average rebel trooper
@@danielragnarsson9741 even if with the other types of droids the rebels would still be better with their hit and run attacks and their I repeat living men who fight they are way more adaptable then droids if we put them against each other the rebels would sooner or later figure out how to beat them
People tend to forget that Stormtroopers beat the Rebels in the battle of Tantive IV even though the rebels had better positioning and the stormtroopers had to enter through a choke point one or two troopers at a time whilst having all the rebels pointing their guns at them.
El problema es que esa escena es fácil de recortar en una edición de YTPH. Lo mismo pasa con los diálogos desechables de Tarkin y Leia luego de qué los protagonistas escaparan de la estrella de la muerte. Se pueden eliminar en una edición y la película no cambia en lo absoluto. "¿estas seguro qué el rastreador esta a bordo de la nave?" - Tarkin a Vader "nos dejaron ir" - Leia a Han Esos diálogos existen para justificar el escape de los protagonistas de la estrella de la muerte y el porqué no enviaron más TIE fighters para derribarlos. Sin embargo, la eliminación de dichos diálogos desechables en una edición manipulable da cómo resultado que el Imperio quede como un grupo de idiotas.
I think droids should be number 2. One thing that makes them compleatly different is that droids were manufactured and in a very fast pase so you dont really have to worry about losses as long as your manufacturing is covered. They didnt have to be better than their enemy if they simply overwhelmed them. And you have to remember they fought the number 1 a very long time so the republic didnt have an easy victory.
They were programmed to be s*** too. If Sheev wasn't playing both sides, they'd be storming the enemy like every day was order 66. That they don't fatigue, need sleep, and can forgo the need for a massive logistics chain backing them like an organic army are all terrifying. I don't know if there's a country in earth today that wouldn't immediately drop their current armed forces for a droid force even at its most incompetent.
@@puebespuebes8589 to add to this, one theory I have for why we stopped seeing the super tank and those missile druids we see on geonosis, is that they were too effective.
Well I was on the internet the other day... And is saw that a b1 plus blaster is cheaper than just the phase 1 clone armour, I'd say that shows how incredible cheap they were and for a bunch of rich companies working together but without a giant manpower pool, the b1 is just perfect. Can do almost anything doesn't need food, and if you still have som giant freighters lying around you don't even have to worry about transport. The best thing: the droids can fly the ship by them self, without months or years of training.
Weren't there several books and comics that clarified that most of the average imperial army were hastily trained enforcers made to occupy territory with the actually good Stormtroopers reserved for special forces units?
I love how all the butthurt imperials cry about plotarmor. stormtroopers were good units, but at some point you have to realize, the empire was utterly incompetent when it comes to tactics, thats why they lost.
The reasons the Empire is ranked so low as compared to the Republic is because the Republic was meant for total war for an undefined period of time whereas the Imperial army was meant more for peace keeping before the Galactic Civil War. Their vehicles were meant more to inspire fear in and subjugate local populations rather than to wage total war. If the Empire had been ready and aware for total war against the Rebels they would have been much better prepared.
Is that the new canon Empire? That's pretty stupid, the original setup had the Empire very well prepared as Sidious knew that there vould possibly be an uprising of some sort. He was always prepared to fight as war is one of hus favorite things.
I like to think the separatists could have easily implemented an upgraded, really good, hunter-killer AI into every battledroid essentially turning them into terminators. They just need to upgrade armor and probably movement (although they appear to traverse pretty fast). B1's look highly modular as well.
Kepora1 Especially since he went ahead and said that he won't take imperial army/navy troopers despite them being more common than stormtroopers. The only counterargument against why we shouldn't use B2's instead of B1's is "There is 10 times as many of them", yet, by that logic the Empire should've had those guys starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Army_trooper/Canon , starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Army_trooper instead.
Storm troopers are very underrated. They’re made fun of for their “bad aim.” But they were actually pretty good units, and are decently elite. If you’ve watched generation tech, they have better aim than any other troops in real life. Hail the empire, and long live the emperor.
Generation tech where dumb in this comparison they insulted real life soldier, they compared the accuracy of storm trooper at 5 meter to the accuracy of modern soldier at 300 meter , simple rifle are just better than blaster, it s sad but bullet are almost instent and cant be blocked by jedi.
blasters don't have bullet drop and their range is 3x bigger than the ones of guns such as M4A1s or AK-12s, along with that it's much easier to aim with blasters and they also have no recoil, while sure bullets can't be blocked by Jedi like blasters due to the insane heat of the lightsaber the bullet itself will melt before hitting the Jedi or sith@@puebespuebes8589
Clones in my mind are just all around the best at everything there coolest as well .. plus they have the best long range blaster I see no real situation where clones come in second but that me
when it comes to price, replaceable and real battles were its not a 1 on on fight, also ambush (which droids do often) and flanking. also close quarters droids are always shown as better (ie close range shooting, melee,etc. such as thee room to room fighting on christosis where a handfull of B1s enter a room lose 1 or 2 droids and murder far more clones, or when they over run a clone gun line etc.)
Hesitation is apparent in every living thing, clones have it because they're organic and based off of a human, who hesitates, and hesitation kills. In the movies and series droids are portrayed as slow thinking etc because of comedic affect and to give clones a heroic statues which 'realistically' wouldn't be feasible Also only 3 clones can withstand the thicc order 66
I think the main weakness of clones lie in logistics. Clones take 10 years to produce, and their production is limited to a single planet, Kamino, whereas battle droids would be pumped out in the trillions by millions of factories across thousands of worlds at breakneck speed. Every single clone soldier would need to kill 1000s of battle droids before dying in order to even come close to remotely balancing such an uneven equation xD
I think the battle droids have a big advantage in the fact that they can follow the orders of their general so well, in fact, better than any other unit mentioned above. I'd also imagine they have much better accuracy for they all use a standardized blaster which's recoil pattern is embedded in their code thus making it easier for them to control it. I'd also imagine their aim tracking and accounting for bullet speed is far superior to any of the above-mentioned forces due to being able to digitally calculate it in a matter of milliseconds. Their mechanical reflexes are also probably much better than those of any living soldier. They also have no sense of fear of death making them much more fearless. They also can continue fighting after sustaining minor yet painful injuries that will disable a living soldier(ex: a shot to the leg will get a clone out of the battle due to pain but the droid can continue fighting as long as he can move it the same). The only droid's real weakness is their inferior blasters, vulnerability to EMPs, and not having as smart of a tactical command droid. In my opinion, the droids are above the rebels.
Far from superior. All of the things mentioned above could apply to other Sci-fi robots but definitely not droids. They can be killed so easily that its basically a joke.
plastoid armor is great at energy dispersion (blaster fire). it is far less durable against blunt or piercing force due to lacking thickness which actually makes slugthrowers (rifles like used by f.E. the sand ppl) and arrows far more effective but since rarely anyone uses those in the SW universe thats just bad luck with the damn teddy attack
I'm sorry Eck, but I must disagree. You only bring up the B1, but like you said they were just meant to be canon fodder. What about the heavier and more effective B2? And they also have the most versatile vehicles in Star Wars. Ranging from the Dwarf Spider Droid to the Hailfire Droid, not to mention that they also used organic fighters to lead the droids in many battles. I'm not saying they are the best (that is definitely the Clones) but I think they deserved at least the number 2 spot. Remember: they managed to hold the Republic back for 3 years including 10,000 Jedi!
I agree with you on the B2 part, but Dwarf Spider Droids are more of a light vehicle than they are infantry and Hailfires don't strike me as footsoldiers either. This video is still comparing infantry, not vehicles.
True, but Eck mentioned the Republic's and Empires's ground vehicles so I think that he was kinda looking at vehicles as well. And I think both the Droideka and Dwarf spiders droids are (I believe) classified as a mobile light artillery unit, but I could be mistaken
I think the B-2 battle droids would be more suitable for the trooper category. (I say this purely because the galactic battleground game had that has the base trooper of the confederacy)
To be honest, GB only had them as base troops because the B1's were already taken by the Trade Federation. Plus the B1 fits the Separatist "Human Wave" tactics much better; the B2's were really just supplemental. Edit: Though, if the CIS decided to go with a more "Blitz" approach, then yes, the B2 would probably be their mainstay soldier.
But as he said in the video, Stormtroopers aren't the most ommon trooper in the Empire. Imperial Army Troopers were more common. (Though they were worse than Rebel Troopers according to AoR and EotE)
the reason the stormtrooper was chosen thou was that when you think of empire trooper you think of them but with the cis it's both the B1 and then B2 (the droideka is more a light vehicle then trooper) in this case as the B1 was more common it was chosen
I have been reading the novel Twilight Company. From what I have gathered from that book the Rebels recruited just about anyone that's willing to take arms angst the Empire. A lot of these people have never even held a blaster and are sometimes only given a crash course in how to use their weapons. The best recruits for the Rebellion would be those from planet deference forces or former Imperial Stormtroopers.
I still think the biggest problem with the clones were how slow they would be to create. Compare 10 years for a clone against the hours for a B1 droid. I don't think the writers thought of the heavy logistical implications that would have on a galactic war where armies would number in the trillions, if not even more :P
@@Freeproceeds there is nothing wrong with swearing. in case you didn't know, it's the 21st century now where swearing is a very normal and common thing, not the fucking medieval religious times.
Rebels would be 4th and CIS 3rd. As you said, the Rebels had no armor, while the CIS had armor to spare. You looked at only one of their infantrymen while ignoring their countless other infantry variants and massive amount of armaments. The Rebels only came equipped with plot armor and that doesnt count for much.
I feel that choosing the B-1 for the CIS isn't really fair, although they're the main infantry I wonder how Echkart would've ranked the CIS if he chose the B-2 instead
@@michaelhowze8198 I'd first like to appreciate how you replied to a year old comment 😂 Second, well the B2 is standardized, but not as many are on the battlefield of course. Just felt it would make the playing field a bit more leveled and not an almost comical comparison
@@youssefshidid2229 I mean I agree but that's what you get with the CIS. Since there whole strategy was based around massive numbers. It's fairly obvious that there standard troops would be crap. As if they had decent soldiers they woupdnt be dependent on numbers.
@@Lathnor not exactly, the commando droids are rare to be seen and aren't really used in battle, more like special operations. The b2 on the other hand sees the same amount of action as the B1, but are less numerous. Reinforcements aren't the right word, but heavy infantry is, in my opinion
One thing I think worth mentioning is the fact that the Empire was very xenophobic and very rarely allowed non-Human species within their ranks. I believe this is a detriment. For example, the strength of a wookie, or the utility of a 4-armed Besalisk. The Rebel Alliance was able and willing to utilize anyone from any species that signed up for the cause, and as such, were able to cultivate much more specialized and situational units that could excel when utilized in the right circumstances. Clone Troopers also kind of fall victim to a lack of diversity, but the Republic did employ non-Human species outside of the front lines so they don't miss out on those benefits the same way that the CIS or Empire do. This is just my .02, great video Eckhart
I still believe the droid army had the best infantry because they can be mass-produced with a low cost and they can be sent on suicide missions. They win in large numbers.
Honestly it depends on who is commanding them if they have a good leader then they can cause hell also I heard Palpatine limit certain functions and commanders to the droids so that the war would continue longer than being one side because by the end of the revenge of the sith there was still about trillions of droids still ready for battle
@@gart5379 not talking about the entire war but what with them to Russia what I am basically saying is sometimes you would have more troops than they would have more ammunition in certain engagements
Rex didn't understand the Stormtrooper Philosophie. The difference between a clone armor and a Stormtrooper armor is that the Clone Armor deflects hits and the stormtrooper armor absorbs hits. A clone can stand up after getting hit, but his odds of survivival are in general worse, while a Stormtrooper armor protects you from dying, you just get knocked out. The Stormtroopers used this kind of armor, because it was: -Cheaper, the Empire had to equip billions of Stormtrooper next to the normal Imperial Army, the Clone troopers didn't even have 100 mio. . -Lighter, Stormtroopers weren't genetically modified clones breeded for war. -Doctrine, the Stormtroopers could afford if some comrades get knocked out on tje Battlefield, rebell groups used hit and run tactics and leaved the uncouncious troopers alone. Clones on the other hand had to use different armor, because they were short on manpower and often lost battles. So their armor was more durable.
I agree with the video except for one thing. Stormtrooper armour would leave the wearer paralyzed while the phase 2 had a 40% chance of keeping the wearer functional and fighting. In short phase 2 was made for war, and stormtrooper armour was made for police work
ReaperDCC123 well that’s also not true. The storm trooper armor left them mostly injured and unconscious but allowed them to be patched up and sent back to battle
@@joshg1555 stormtrooper armor defended the wearer from light blaster bolt so there is a small chance a stormtrooper will survive a shot from a A280 blaster rifle
Roshan Schipper well yeah because the A280 was highly illegal and against the Star Wars version of the Geneva conventions. It also depended where the trooper got hit.
Phil Swift Yeah like the other guy said Stormtrooper armor defended against light Blasters but not military grade ones. The A280C was one of those illegal modified blasters as well as being vulnerable to targeting rifles and heavy Blasters
From what Rex said he liked the clone troopers armor better than the stormtroopers as it protects better it was easier to move in and didn't limit the version of the user as much
I liked the clone troopers armor they were color coded and looked sharp. The storm troopers armor was bulky and the rebels gear looked like the guys who go camping in someones back yard and half their gear came from a yard sale.
I know, but nobody uses them as regular soilders... Or evven as special forces... If the Rebels got the resources to replace a hand, why not go a step further? Can nt be to costly... And Grievous is a few organs in a otherwise droid body. Why not build something like that? And the monks in jabbas palace. They are brains in Jars! You could use this process, too. So why the heck does nobody use (widespread) cyborgs?
Very confused about the complete disregard of, and not even a mention of Super Battle Droids. They even make a joke in the big battle of Geonosis in the Clone Wars where a battle droid gets shot and starts malfunctioning and a Super Battle Droid walks up behind it and just pushes it out of the way and keeps firing. It seems like the writers were aware that battle droids were inadequate to compare to the clone troopers so they introduced the super battle droid to help level the playing field. (I defintiely would still rank a clone trooper above a super battle droid, but not even mentioning them in this video seems really bizarre to me.)
That's exactly right there was alot of models of droids that didn't get mentioned an how they were deployed in squads of different types of specialist droids if they would have focused on all of the army instead of just the crappiest unit then they would have definitely got at least the 3rd spot maybe even the 2nd
@@ryynerwicked2762 Yea I was going to mention droidekas too, but I feel he was just focusing on core combatants so that's fair enough I guess. But Super Battle Droids were designed to be an upgraded core combatant, I definately feel at the least they should have been discussed. Also I don't like how he seems to prioritize just the strength of a single combatant to each other. One of the droids main advantages is theyre literally just produced en masse on assembly lines. So even if it took 2 or 3 droids to take down 1 troop from any of the other 3 factions, as far as the droids would be concerned that's a win.

Frothy Walrus The point is that I think none of these media is written by a guy who is actually experienced in military strategy. And also I don't want him to rate it since he isn't either.
Venator Star Wars strategy, not modern actual military strategy. Wayyyy different. Tactics are used, each faction has a different approach to how their military functions and operates. I’d like a comparison. You’re getting too caught up in the reality of it. Star Wars isn’t reality, it isn’t realistic or logical by any means. It’s Star Wars, pure fiction.
1:11 In my opnion, the reason why the imperial walkers were so boxy compared to at-te at-rt bla bla bla, was because the republic went for functionality and shape, the empire, meanwhile, went for more of a intimadation tactic, a full size at-at firing lasers at me would certainly scare me, much less a Incom Snowspeeder, who is racing TOWARDS it.
Another factor seperating the clones from the others is that their genetics are those of perfect wariors. If a clone were to go to the imperial academy he would be better than almost any of the other troopers there because of his genetics. For example, clones cannot experience physical stress. They also fight alongside the jedi, giving them new and creative ideas of how to win a battle. So yeah, I too think the clones were the best of these.

SUGGESTION:
"Which Faction had the best Tactics/Strategy?
Rebels: Hit and run tactics
Empire: Fear/intimidation
CIS: Massive swarms of troops
Republic: Highly trained and bred from birth troops
Id say CIS because the amount of soldiers could easily overpower any army. They also can function in space without a suit. If one clone equals 10 battle droids, then there is 11 droids for it.
This needs more up-votes. Seeing as how these are each faction's defining behaviors, it would make for the most interesting 'factions compared' episode yet.
I would instead say CIS. With biological soldiers, morale is a factor, but that entire factor that could mean victory or defeat is taken out of the equation when you have a droid army. Also, it doesn't matter how well trained a soldier is, or how good their armour is, if one hundred droids can be made to counter that soldier.
TheBrickBaron The Republic. Having a Jedi leading the troops in combat, unbreakable morale and excellent marksmanship sound like glory to me
what you just wrote is in my opinion the perfect description of the four factions of star wars in terms of methods, tactics and strategy.
Personal opinion: the clones. Reason: better training, better armor, and better equipment.
They don’t have better armor
I believe he meant armor as in vehicles.
I get the Stormtrooper armor, but the rebel armor? Wouldn’t th rebels have the most comfortable armor? They tend to wear like armor, increasing mobility don’t they?

Endless Waffles only the gear of Empire suck
YourAsianComrade 26 the gear of the empire did not suck. In fact it was the opposite. A blast from a rebel gun could cause a massive explosion against a building but the stormtroopers are completely unaffected by the blast damage and moreover die by the kinetic energy hitting their armor and breaking their ribs and organs.

In terms of deployment,republic seems to be the quickest.
Darth Vader that’s because they prepare beforehand unlike the empire who always seem to be scrambling to prepare
I'd argue that the CIS can actually deploy troops faster and in greater quantity due to folding up and lack of need for air.
Josh Murphy Yes
Nicholas Harvey since when does air apply in space in Star Wars, star destroyers don’t have an oxygen tank, nor do star fighters or interceptors or transports
The CIS gunship suggests they could deploy troops the fastest. B1 battle droids could be built in a matter of hours, where as human soldiers took at least 20 years to become adequate soldiers, half that for Kaminoan clones and 1 year for Spartii clones.
Stormtroopers are accurate so long as they are just shooting at an extra
The clones have the ultimate advantage: they are brothers. They all care about each other and they are all a family.
it's actually a disadvantage in some ways if one of them is hostage since they did everything together some troopers emotions will do what the other side wants because their brother is hostage.

Is this the sign?
It has to be the Republic. Their infantry were literally bred for combat, and they excelled. The Empire, though just regular people, is a close second. That is solely because they were regularly trained like an actual army. Plus, if you ignore the pop culture version of the Empire, they had the best standing army at the time. The CIS had weak droids at the beginning in the B1, but that was fixed in the B2. Also, they had extremely large numbers and the fact that they were programmed for combat helps. The Rebels were space terrorists. Every unit had its own organization, recruitment, and training because there was no set standardization across their military. That is why rebel forces routinely lost to imperial ground forces.
So, my order would be, from best to worst, Republic, Empire, CIS, and Rebels.
Smiling Gator -
Well, that's true for the units' training. They were differently equipped, however: the clones and Storm troopers were issued standardized armor, the droids could've been built to be harder but they were primarily inexpensive and so fragile.
Meanwhile, the Rebels had the most powerful armor: plot armor.
Um rebel's are better than cis in my opinion cuz cis usually just stand in the open. Rebel's actually have brains and can adapt. But the cis can still win in numbers tho
To be honest CIS comes before the empire in my point of view.
Also clones can ligit kill the whole Jedi Order
“They have armor that provides protection”
*Shows footage of Stormtroopers dying from one shot in the chest*
TRex Boi lol
There’s a theory that they don’t actually die, the armor disperses the damage, but the impact still knocks them out, but that’s it, they’re knocked out.
Don’t know how much that holds up tho
Always Watching I like that theory because if they actually do die that means the rebels are the actual monsters with all the meaningless murder
Mr. Duck The Stormtroopers kill Rebels though, so doesn’t that make them the monsters?
wales2k yeah well look at how they kill stormtroopers most of their techniques are ruthless
One thing to consider about the storm troopers is that a lot of their misses can be chopped up to failing to hit the heroes, who need to survive. And if they happen to be force sensitive they can just kind of tell the Blaster bolt to miss. As far as a fighting force goes they’re well trained, heavily protected enough that some downed storm troopers just need to be rescued, and they’re infamously accurate in universe.
It’s just hard to shoot a Jedi
I believe alot of the misses were intentional at least on the Death Star they were ordered to let the Falcon escape so they could use it to find the rebel base. We also find out in comics that Vader specifically ordered the Millennium Falcon not to be destroyed and ordered that the Falcon crew if found be brought in alive. These restrictions would hamper the troopers.

Mr Bones, highly intelligent B1 battle droid, painted black and red and right arm is replaced with a sharp blade, his wit took out an AT-ST not by destroying it, but by breaking in and butchering the pilots inside
000 and BT-1, two murderous droids, one a Protocol Droid, and another an Astromech Droid, 000, the Protocol Droid, has tons of different torture methods installed, and BT-1, the Astromech Droid, had a chain gun, mini rocket launchers, a flamethrower, and deadly lasers, and could wipe out platoons on its own
Dark Troopers, Phase 3 to be exact, which had dozens of weapons, including a heartbeat detecting rocket launcher, it is also insanely durable against lightsabers
last one I'll bring up is the B-1 A Air Battle Droid, which came equipped with heavy armor plating, a jetpack, wrist mounted blasters, and blades, even a shield that could resist lightsabers to a degree
EDIT: added some stuff
Yeah I wonder how good they could’ve been if they were a real military force and not just a tool of manipulation.
Rebels would be in last. CIS would take their place, and that's because, while the droids are stupid, they are durable and semi accurate.
@Alvin Carter yes
The rebels is to put it simple just a space terrorists they don't have a standard military training. They have multiple cells each have their own way of training and recruitment. But I have to say the only advantage the droids has is that they are usually deployed in large numbers. But compare them as an individual soldier the battle droids is probably the worst because they have limited programming they have no free will meaning no creativity at all, and they are extremely innacurate with their blasters if compared to the average rebel trooper
i agree
and also he forgot the other droid types like droideka and b2 or bx battledroids
@@danielragnarsson9741 even if with the other types of droids the rebels would still be better with their hit and run attacks and their I repeat living men who fight they are way more adaptable then droids if we put them against each other the rebels would sooner or later figure out how to beat them

I think droids should be number 2.
One thing that makes them compleatly different is that droids were manufactured and in a very fast pase so you dont really have to worry about losses as long as your manufacturing is covered.
They didnt have to be better than their enemy if they simply overwhelmed them.
And you have to remember they fought the number 1 a very long time so the republic didnt have an easy victory.
They were programmed to be s*** too. If Sheev wasn't playing both sides, they'd be storming the enemy like every day was order 66. That they don't fatigue, need sleep, and can forgo the need for a massive logistics chain backing them like an organic army are all terrifying. I don't know if there's a country in earth today that wouldn't immediately drop their current armed forces for a droid force even at its most incompetent.
Most importent detail, the droid army was restrained by palpatine meaning the clone fought a friendler version of the CIS droid army.
@@puebespuebes8589 to add to this, one theory I have for why we stopped seeing the super tank and those missile druids we see on geonosis, is that they were too effective.
Well I was on the internet the other day...
And is saw that a b1 plus blaster is cheaper than just the phase 1 clone armour, I'd say that shows how incredible cheap they were and for a bunch of rich companies working together but without a giant manpower pool, the b1 is just perfect. Can do almost anything doesn't need food, and if you still have som giant freighters lying around you don't even have to worry about transport. The best thing: the droids can fly the ship by them self, without months or years of training.
Stromtroopers are just affected by plot armor... poor souls.
Weren't there several books and comics that clarified that most of the average imperial army were hastily trained enforcers made to occupy territory with the actually good Stormtroopers reserved for special forces units?
But for some reason when B1 are affected by plot armour it doesn't count.
501st was stationed on Endor
Christian Dauz By the time Luke was grown up and become a Jedi the 501st were long gone they live only 50 years
I love how all the butthurt imperials cry about plotarmor. stormtroopers were good units, but at some point you have to realize, the empire was utterly incompetent when it comes to tactics, thats why they lost.
The reasons the Empire is ranked so low as compared to the Republic is because the Republic was meant for total war for an undefined period of time whereas the Imperial army was meant more for peace keeping before the Galactic Civil War. Their vehicles were meant more to inspire fear in and subjugate local populations rather than to wage total war. If the Empire had been ready and aware for total war against the Rebels they would have been much better prepared.
Is that the new canon Empire? That's pretty stupid, the original setup had the Empire very well prepared as Sidious knew that there vould possibly be an uprising of some sort. He was always prepared to fight as war is one of hus favorite things.

Kepora1 You know why because he was sucking the republic nuts
to be fair there are ten B1s for every one B2 the B2 where more the second wave/line breakers
to be fair the b2 out number the clones, 1:1.1 in the begining and 1:1000 by the battle of corasant.
Kepora1 Especially since he went ahead and said that he won't take imperial army/navy troopers despite them being more common than stormtroopers. The only counterargument against why we shouldn't use B2's instead of B1's is "There is 10 times as many of them", yet, by that logic the Empire should've had those guys starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Army_trooper/Canon , starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Army_trooper instead.
Storm troopers are very underrated. They’re made fun of for their “bad aim.” But they were actually pretty good units, and are decently elite. If you’ve watched generation tech, they have better aim than any other troops in real life. Hail the empire, and long live the emperor.
The "they cant aim" joke is just rebel propaganda
If we Look at Episode 4 they only Miss when they let Leia escape. Besides that there Performance is great.
Generation tech where dumb in this comparison they insulted real life soldier, they compared the accuracy of storm trooper at 5 meter to the accuracy of modern soldier at 300 meter , simple rifle are just better than blaster, it s sad but bullet are almost instent and cant be blocked by jedi.
@@puebespuebes8589 Literally nothing you said is true.
blasters don't have bullet drop and their range is 3x bigger than the ones of guns such as M4A1s or AK-12s, along with that it's much easier to aim with blasters and they also have no recoil, while sure bullets can't be blocked by Jedi like blasters due to the insane heat of the lightsaber the bullet itself will melt before hitting the Jedi or sith@@puebespuebes8589

@@stormpants1638 True.
Malamockq there’s no such thing as the “good guys”
Clones in my mind are just all around the best at everything there coolest as well .. plus they have the best long range blaster I see no real situation where clones come in second but that me
when it comes to price, replaceable and real battles were its not a 1 on on fight, also ambush (which droids do often) and flanking. also close quarters droids are always shown as better (ie close range shooting, melee,etc. such as thee room to room fighting on christosis where a handfull of B1s enter a room lose 1 or 2 droids and murder far more clones, or when they over run a clone gun line etc.)
Hesitation is apparent in every living thing, clones have it because they're organic and based off of a human, who hesitates, and hesitation kills. In the movies and series droids are portrayed as slow thinking etc because of comedic affect and to give clones a heroic statues which 'realistically' wouldn't be feasible
Also only 3 clones can withstand the thicc order 66
I think the main weakness of clones lie in logistics.
Clones take 10 years to produce, and their production is limited to a single planet, Kamino, whereas battle droids would be pumped out in the trillions by millions of factories across thousands of worlds at breakneck speed.
Every single clone soldier would need to kill 1000s of battle droids before dying in order to even come close to remotely balancing such an uneven equation xD
“Set your guns to stun.” Is all you need to know about storm troopers and their “inaccuracy”
I think the battle droids have a big advantage in the fact that they can follow the orders of their general so well, in fact, better than any other unit mentioned above. I'd also imagine they have much better accuracy for they all use a standardized blaster which's recoil pattern is embedded in their code thus making it easier for them to control it. I'd also imagine their aim tracking and accounting for bullet speed is far superior to any of the above-mentioned forces due to being able to digitally calculate it in a matter of milliseconds. Their mechanical reflexes are also probably much better than those of any living soldier. They also have no sense of fear of death making them much more fearless. They also can continue fighting after sustaining minor yet painful injuries that will disable a living soldier(ex: a shot to the leg will get a clone out of the battle due to pain but the droid can continue fighting as long as he can move it the same). The only droid's real weakness is their inferior blasters, vulnerability to EMPs, and not having as smart of a tactical command droid. In my opinion, the droids are above the rebels.
Far from superior. All of the things mentioned above could apply to other Sci-fi robots but definitely not droids. They can be killed so easily that its basically a joke.

‘Stormtroopers have state of the art armour’
They got killed by bows and arrows
And teddy bears throwing rocks
plastoid armor is great at energy dispersion (blaster fire). it is far less durable against blunt or piercing force due to lacking thickness which actually makes slugthrowers (rifles like used by f.E. the sand ppl) and arrows far more effective but since rarely anyone uses those in the SW universe thats just bad luck with the damn teddy attack
i mean, bullet resistant kelvalar IRL is beaten by arrows so
I'm sorry Eck, but I must disagree. You only bring up the B1, but like you said they were just meant to be canon fodder. What about the heavier and more effective B2? And they also have the most versatile vehicles in Star Wars. Ranging from the Dwarf Spider Droid to the Hailfire Droid, not to mention that they also used organic fighters to lead the droids in many battles. I'm not saying they are the best (that is definitely the Clones) but I think they deserved at least the number 2 spot. Remember: they managed to hold the Republic back for 3 years including 10,000 Jedi!
I agree with you on the B2 part, but Dwarf Spider Droids are more of a light vehicle than they are infantry and Hailfires don't strike me as footsoldiers either. This video is still comparing infantry, not vehicles.
True, but Eck mentioned the Republic's and Empires's ground vehicles so I think that he was kinda looking at vehicles as well. And I think both the Droideka and Dwarf spiders droids are (I believe) classified as a mobile light artillery unit, but I could be mistaken
Star Wars: Facts and Theories we are talking about the backbones of these factions, the B-2 super battle droid was not the backbone of the CIS
its about infantry so b1 droid counts
Yes and when I was there we were almost unstoppable
I think the droid army has the best infantry because no matter how many Droid to kill they just constantly come
I think the B-2 battle droids would be more suitable for the trooper category. (I say this purely because the galactic battleground game had that has the base trooper of the confederacy)
Blitzkrieg 1 Not really they weren’t as common as the B1
Anubiss that is true but they were at least comparable to the others on the list
To be honest, GB only had them as base troops because the B1's were already taken by the Trade Federation. Plus the B1 fits the Separatist "Human Wave" tactics much better; the B2's were really just supplemental.
Edit: Though, if the CIS decided to go with a more "Blitz" approach, then yes, the B2 would probably be their mainstay soldier.
But as he said in the video, Stormtroopers aren't the most ommon trooper in the Empire. Imperial Army Troopers were more common. (Though they were worse than Rebel Troopers according to AoR and EotE)
the reason the stormtrooper was chosen thou was that when you think of empire trooper you think of them but with the cis it's both the B1 and then B2 (the droideka is more a light vehicle then trooper) in this case as the B1 was more common it was chosen
Clones
I have been reading the novel Twilight Company. From what I have gathered from that book the Rebels recruited just about anyone that's willing to take arms angst the Empire. A lot of these people have never even held a blaster and are sometimes only given a crash course in how to use their weapons. The best recruits for the Rebellion would be those from planet deference forces or former Imperial Stormtroopers.
Clone troopers can actually hit their target. And they don't have to turn their blasters in for inspection.

How to defeat a panzer: soviet edition
One thing I think worth mentioning is the fact that the Empire was very xenophobic and very rarely allowed non-Human species within their ranks. I believe this is a detriment. For example, the strength of a wookie, or the utility of a 4-armed Besalisk. The Rebel Alliance was able and willing to utilize anyone from any species that signed up for the cause, and as such, were able to cultivate much more specialized and situational units that could excel when utilized in the right circumstances. Clone Troopers also kind of fall victim to a lack of diversity, but the Republic did employ non-Human species outside of the front lines so they don't miss out on those benefits the same way that the CIS or Empire do. This is just my .02, great video Eckhart
wtf its a movie
@@alpha-cf2oi ???
Easily clones.
Forgot to finish that sentence--- Ill do it for you--- Easily clones lose this fight
Space Marines win
Austin Reid nope
All hail the confederacy!!!
We all know that droids win!!!
beast ICY wrong comment section
I still believe the droid army had the best infantry because they can be mass-produced with a low cost and they can be sent on suicide missions. They win in large numbers.
Honestly it depends on who is commanding them if they have a good leader then they can cause hell also I heard Palpatine limit certain functions and commanders to the droids so that the war would continue longer than being one side because by the end of the revenge of the sith there was still about trillions of droids still ready for battle
It doesn't matter if you have bigger numbers. It matters if you have better more effective tactics. More clankers doesn't mean more victories
@@gart5379 honestly that really depends USSR beated Germany who was more advanced in technology and strategy but lost to USSR in numbers
@@alphawolf1786 but Germany also had to fight The U.S and Brits on the west as well as help Italy
@@gart5379 not talking about the entire war but what with them to Russia what I am basically saying is sometimes you would have more troops than they would have more ammunition in certain engagements
"Storm troopers have armor that protects them"
Rex in rebels "this armor doesn't do anything"
Rex didn't understand the Stormtrooper Philosophie. The difference between a clone armor and a Stormtrooper armor is that the Clone Armor deflects hits and the stormtrooper armor absorbs hits. A clone can stand up after getting hit, but his odds of survivival are in general worse, while a Stormtrooper armor protects you from dying, you just get knocked out.
The Stormtroopers used this kind of armor, because it was:
-Cheaper, the Empire had to equip billions of Stormtrooper next to the normal Imperial Army, the Clone troopers didn't even have 100 mio. .
-Lighter, Stormtroopers weren't genetically modified clones breeded for war.
-Doctrine, the Stormtroopers could afford if some comrades get knocked out on tje Battlefield, rebell groups used hit and run tactics and leaved the uncouncious troopers alone. Clones on the other hand had to use different armor, because they were short on manpower and often lost battles. So their armor was more durable.
7:38 who else noticed Muselk nametag.
Elliot in battlefront sound good
RandomGaming yeah I did too
RandomGaming I did
I thought that I was the only person that saw.
Yep I saw it too
Been there since tryhard Tuesday
I agree with the video except for one thing. Stormtrooper armour would leave the wearer paralyzed while the phase 2 had a 40% chance of keeping the wearer functional and fighting. In short phase 2 was made for war, and stormtrooper armour was made for police work
ReaperDCC123 well that’s also not true. The storm trooper armor left them mostly injured and unconscious but allowed them to be patched up and sent back to battle
@@joshg1555 stormtrooper armor defended the wearer from light blaster bolt so there is a small chance a stormtrooper will survive a shot from a A280 blaster rifle
Roshan Schipper well yeah because the A280 was highly illegal and against the Star Wars version of the Geneva conventions. It also depended where the trooper got hit.
Phil Swift Yeah like the other guy said Stormtrooper armor defended against light Blasters but not military grade ones. The A280C was one of those illegal modified blasters as well as being vulnerable to targeting rifles and heavy Blasters
From what Rex said he liked the clone troopers armor better than the stormtroopers as it protects better it was easier to move in and didn't limit the version of the user as much
Probably best of the best were Mandalorians back when they were hot.
>back when
excuse you they are always hot
They were significantly hotter during the Mandalorian wars. Almost knocked over a Republic.
I think they are pretty well accepted as the best warriors in the galaxy. That beskar doesn't hurt either.
I liked the clone troopers armor they were color coded and looked sharp. The storm troopers armor was bulky and the rebels gear looked like the guys who go camping in someones back yard and half their gear came from a yard sale.
That's kinda the point. It's a guerilla force, half their shit probably is camping equipment, or older equipment
The night of the Droid army will not be stopped.
General Grievous

Hello there.
I sugest using more Cyborgs.
Why the heck does nobody use Cyborgs?
Random Minion People do use cyborgs. Vader is a cyborg, Grievous is a cyborg, even Luke Skywalker is a cyborg.
I know, but nobody uses them as regular soilders... Or evven as special forces...
If the Rebels got the resources to replace a hand, why not go a step further? Can nt be to costly...
And Grievous is a few organs in a otherwise droid body. Why not build something like that?
And the monks in jabbas palace. They are brains in Jars! You could use this process, too.
So why the heck does nobody use (widespread) cyborgs?
Random Minion I don’t know. Probably because nobody wants to get their arms ripped off and replaced.
the clones were so intensely driven no other military could compete
Very confused about the complete disregard of, and not even a mention of Super Battle Droids. They even make a joke in the big battle of Geonosis in the Clone Wars where a battle droid gets shot and starts malfunctioning and a Super Battle Droid walks up behind it and just pushes it out of the way and keeps firing. It seems like the writers were aware that battle droids were inadequate to compare to the clone troopers so they introduced the super battle droid to help level the playing field. (I defintiely would still rank a clone trooper above a super battle droid, but not even mentioning them in this video seems really bizarre to me.)
That's exactly right there was alot of models of droids that didn't get mentioned an how they were deployed in squads of different types of specialist droids if they would have focused on all of the army instead of just the crappiest unit then they would have definitely got at least the 3rd spot maybe even the 2nd
@@ryynerwicked2762 Yea I was going to mention droidekas too, but I feel he was just focusing on core combatants so that's fair enough I guess. But Super Battle Droids were designed to be an upgraded core combatant, I definately feel at the least they should have been discussed. Also I don't like how he seems to prioritize just the strength of a single combatant to each other. One of the droids main advantages is theyre literally just produced en masse on assembly lines. So even if it took 2 or 3 droids to take down 1 troop from any of the other 3 factions, as far as the droids would be concerned that's a win.
Thunderbolt Starfury from Babylon 5 vs the Sabre from Halo reach. VF-1S Valkyrie variable fighter from SDF Macross (not Robotech) vs the Zeta plus Gundam.
Are you using Robotech or SDF Macross specs as I see them as really close. Plus I am putting mass production models in this fight no customs.
Harmony Gold just put the ADV dub of SDF Macross on Hulu.
how bout Starscream vs VF-1R?

Please don't go over strategies and tactics in Star Wars movies... they are complete garbage...
+Venator plus Clone Wars TV show, Star Wars Rebels TV show, Comics, books. Errrythang’ bro. Just movies would be awful, too much plot armor for good Strategies.
Frothy Walrus
The point is that I think none of these media is written by a guy who is actually experienced in military strategy.
And also I don't want him to rate it since he isn't either.
Venator
Star Wars strategy, not modern actual military strategy. Wayyyy different. Tactics are used, each faction has a different approach to how their military functions and operates. I’d like a comparison. You’re getting too caught up in the reality of it. Star Wars isn’t reality, it isn’t realistic or logical by any means. It’s Star Wars, pure fiction.
Best Invasion tactic.
Ranking the best warriors in star wars. Jedi/sith (depending on the time period) mandolorian, clone trooper, stormtrooper.
If the empire continued to use clone troopers the rebellion would be absolutely obliterated
They Used clone Trooper
Seamus only for the first few years though
@@tameturner1516 no they kept the clones until Fel Empires period
@Tetra Clones conquered the Galaxy so to maintain peace and order the Empire used Stormtrooper

Step up son
Faction Compared: Best Military Commanders
Stormtroopers don't suck at aiming,they just fire warning shots
That’s a lot of warning
1:11
In my opnion, the reason why the imperial walkers were so boxy compared to at-te at-rt bla bla bla, was because the republic went for functionality and shape, the empire, meanwhile, went for more of a intimadation tactic, a full size at-at firing lasers at me would certainly scare me, much less a Incom Snowspeeder, who is racing TOWARDS it.
I’m gonna say this before the video start, it best be clones man
Krogan vs. brute.
That sounds interesting!
I'd be down
Another factor seperating the clones from the others is that their genetics are those of perfect wariors. If a clone were to go to the imperial academy he would be better than almost any of the other troopers there because of his genetics. For example, clones cannot experience physical stress.
They also fight alongside the jedi, giving them new and creative ideas of how to win a battle. So yeah, I too think the clones were the best of these.
