      Astro Doodie They did storm the Jedi Temple. Even with the Jedi fighting back, their temple was still conquered. And I think it's more over based on the fact that they're the ones who pulled the trigger. The clones were given an order, given a choice and they've followed through with it. Besides, they've demonstrated many feats throughout the Clone War.

    The reason people say that they can't see anything in Imperial Stormtrooper helmets is because the helmets have advanced optics that allow them to see in darkness and smoke, and also protect against most toxins, and also a head up display. But these abilities were coded to the individual trooper, so if anybody else besides the trooper that owned the helmet tried to put it on, all they would see would be bad eye holes. This served as a countermeasure to protect against Stormtrooper helmets being sold on the black market. That is why Luke Skywalker and Captain Rex complain about poor visibility in the helmets that they put on.

      Yeah, most of the Clone and Storm Trooper armors look more like security gear than military equipment. That’s part of what I like about Phase 2 clone armor, as some of it goes for more of a gritty look with camo and equipment pouches. I remember the jungle troopers in Episode III having some of the coolest armor I’ve seen in Star Wars. I was also kinda like “Finally! Someone decides to wear something more discrete than polished stark white armor!”

    Phase 1 Clone Trooper armour is my favourite (and I love how Captain Rex kept the T-visor even in his Phase II helmet). Among my favourite designs are the Clone Commando armour and the armour for ice planets, like what Rex and his troopers wore on Orto Plutonia. I dunno, man...

That's said, I still love the simplicity of plain Stormtrooper armor, and most of the others you listed like the Mandalorian Armor, Republic Trooper Armor, and First Order Stormtrooper Armor are all cool in their own ways.

    The best are probably the Old Republic and Phase 2 clone armor because they:
    1. Look like they were made for war and not Coachella.
    2. Were created by taking designs from actual soldiers that had been fighting.
    3. Were modular so the actual soldier wearing it could add what they needed for the particular environment because if Felucia has taught the Republic anything, it’s that you can’t predict alien weirdness, but you still have to be able to kill it.

  • @Archon762
    @Archon762 7 років тому +1

    My favorite armor is the Clone Trooper phase 1 armor followed closely by the Clone Commando armor and the generic Clone Phase 2 armor. My favorite Star Wars Tabletop character I had was a Jedi Knight from the Clone Wars, he lead a small group of Clones that were more often than not a remainder of battalions and squads that were wiped out by the Separatists. One was even a Commando that became the Captain of the squad and basically became the Rex to my Anakin. My favoritism of the Phase 1 armor comes into play by my Jedi being dressed much like Obi-wan when he speeder jousted with Durge in the old '03 Clone Wars series, only without some of the more encumbering plating.

    You kept out the greatest advantage of the Stormtrooper armor which made it superior to any clone trooper models. When the user gets hit he gets knocked out but stays alive and is able to continue fighting later on. The clone trooper armor only has a low chance to withstand a blaster hit or the user gets killed.

      Thyre Radim It doesn't matter whether or not a projectile cauterizes the entry wound. A person isn't going to survive for very long with a hole in their body that they weren't born with, especially if those wounds are localized to the mid-section... You know, like modern militaries train their soldiers to do.
      Moreover, even cold plasma (only partially ionized) burns at several thousand degrees Celsius. It doesn't matter if the blaster bolt in question passes through the body in a fraction of a second, those temperatures would be hot enough to continue cooking through flesh long after the blaster bolt is gone, and that's not even acknowledging the internal damage that would be caused by the rapid expansion of gases caused by those temperatures instantly vaporizing the liquids (including blood) in your body's tissue and cells.
      Hm, when you really examine the facts, wearing armor doesn't seem so bad, does it?

Rebel Alliance, New Republic, they lack that cool factor in their armies that these types of armor could offer. I know that some special forces had armor, but I wished it were mass produce to be the image of the army.
