What’s sad is that I’ve watched Star Wars with veterans from the Vietnam, Korean, and Afghanistan war and they all agreed that they resonated the most with the stormtroopers. It’s not that they were mere tools of death and destruction, but they all knew what it’s like to retreat into your sense of duty and patriotism when forced or asked to do something that many would consider a war crime. I remember one of them telling me “it’s not a war crime if your side wins, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t follow you for the rest of your life”

I feel worse for the Stormtroopers than for Clones tbh. Stormtroopers were just some kids from dirt poor planets that either wanted to get away from their miserable planet or make a genuine difference in the galaxy, not knowing that they don't matter at all to the higher ups and are just as expendable as Clones.

I don’t know why people don’t mention this more often, but under Disney we have seen the use of stormtroopers change from the soldiers of the Empire to a bunch of dysfunctional no-faced soldiers that only exist to allow the protagonists kill them in swarms. They present almost no threat in any of the new films and shows besides rogue one, and even in that film they are killed in massive numbers.

@Angry JayByrd the prequels had their chance and we gave them another. Lucas fumbled every Star Wars movie he was a part of after episode V and we kept giving him chances.
The sad fact is, when the merciless Rebels gunned down countless stormtroopers, they saw them as just cogs in a machine. The machine, of the Galactic Empire. These Stormtroopers had families. They had husbands, wives, and kids. They had unique stories and lives that they lead, only to be gunned down by people who saw them as cannon fodder. Meanwhile, when the stormtroopers were killing the rebels, they saw them as terrorists that could kill their families, they were fighting for a cause worth fighting for. I don't doubt they knew what they were doing, but you wouldn't treat a terrorist any differently than the stormtroopers treated the rebels.
You left out the storm troopers who fell to the deaths from those catwalk platforms inside star destroyers and the Death Star. Can’t imagine that’s a nice way to go.

The flaw of the Empire is that Palpatine cannot used Battle Droids as the primary fighting forces for him. If he wanted to treat Stormtroopers like Battle Droids, better use Battle Droids. But sadly, he already used them in the Clones Wars for the Separatists Alliance.
@@jonathan4158 Their costs are higher than Battle Droids. Not only the cloning process but also have to raise them for years as well. After that, he had to pay for equipping them with good weapons, good armors and other necessities for living beings as well.
That’s the actual sad part about it Actually in fourth episode storm troopers are still pretty bad ass maybe that’s because you’re only watching Vader’s fist…. Especially when you realize that they are being told to purposely miss their targets To expose the rebel base which unfortunately is a ridiculous waste of manpower….. I still say to this day since the storm trooper is worth the most visible example of the emperor is my the biggest mistake he made beside having incompetent imperial officers at the helm was not having a competent fighting force ….. He should’ve stuck with the clones but his rationale was because the Jedi were all but exterminated that he only needed a fighting force that would go up against non-force users so the use and expense of clones was unnecessary. But we all see how well that worked out
I am no longer the child I was when watching Return of the Jedi for the first time in theater's. I can now appreciate the intrinsic horrors of the Ewok species, and find sympathy for so many poor storm troopers killed so horribly just trying to do their jobs.
@Content_enjoyer they’re just simple poor kids who were taken from their family and brought into a mess just to help 2 Sith who can casually wipe out entire planets
Honestly plastoid should've handled a bit more beating than we saw. The stick scene made sense but it gets a bit agitating seeing them get knocked over easily by small punches. Granted, not even the clone Wars handled armor that well but still.
Well,it blocks almost all lasers,the impact however knocks them out,HOWEVER if a laser finds a way through a gap of the armor they are *DEAD* but the armor fails sometimes.
Yeah that was messed up. Asking "First time you've seen a Jedi, sir?" Is not a reason to be kicked to your death where you'll either die upon impact, or break so many bones that you suffer needlessly until death finally frees you. Living beings have souls and experience trauma, suffering, fear, and pain. The Empire ignores this.
One of the reasons I like rouge one besides it being military film. It show stormtroopers shooting in more of an tactical manner then what on scene in the OG trilogy.
Luke's, SPEEDERBIKE victim, most likely suffered the injury you suggested, but, just as easily, could have been instead death, by that impact "souping his brain", in his skull and helmet. Brain soup possibilities aside, the broken back and or neck, would be far worse -especially if not found by the omnivorous and apparently predatory natives. Slow starvation, dehydration, and an armored body shaped tomb full of body waste..is..even more depressingly horrific to think of than the already horrifying thought of being helplessly eaten alive.. which is really really..bad.
Which is why none of that did or would happen since the bike exploded on impact into TINY pieces an he seems apparently to been atomized or souped on impact
@@scottbraun2457 oh your fine think the impact but your still alive an several trillion literal light years from nearest means of good medical aid is one the worst case scenarios.... If any of say THE worst. Being entombed in your armor, barely alive an unable to move if your awake you'll suffer as you go. Last ONLY as long as dehydration allows. Assuming everything hostile either never finds you or just decided it's NOT gonna mess with you. ESPECIALLY if it's least semi sentient like an Ewok that just decided you weren't worth the effort to finish off. Which being a dick on that one would be universal
I wonder if he would have survived long enough to see the explosion of the second death star. Imagine the overbearingly crushing weight of total helplessness.
I give your response a "like", not because I like the idea of the poor guy helplessly suffering in human soup state in his armor, gurgling his last, to have his sight in life be the second DEATHSTAR dieing ..but rather to acknowledge equally how horrible they were going to feel even worse, when that sight came into view.
That's why I'll insist to my dying day that the clones were better soldiers than the Stormtroopers since clones viewed their squadmates as family made them work better together while Imperial Stormtroopers saw their fellow sqaudmates as potential rivals and would never hesitate about shooting them
Honestly that was mostly legends stormtroopers where they were elite fanatical soldiers. In canon they're never portrayed as such and they pretty much dropped that concept by this point
True they are better soliders in legends (real Canon as far as I'm concerned) but they still were inferior to the clone troopers. The clones basically were raised to fight together and oddly enough learned to view themselves as individuals and each other as family. Stormtroopers, even in legends, were treated as nothing more than a number and expendable. Overall that means that they are less efficient as a unit and likely didn't trust the other members of their unit to have their backs. Their were exceptions in legends when a officer would go out of their way to ensure that the troops under his command were taken care of, which usually lead to better results...at least until another officer gets jealous of their and sabotages them.
I knew a Trooper once... No.2304. He was a nice guy. Had a loving wife and two wonderful kids on Tatooine... Unfortunately, he was deployed to the 1st Death Star just before the Skywalker kid blew it to kingdom come. Rest in peace Soldier...😔🙏
Recently I was lucky enough to become a death trooper, but I still can't forget the fear of seeing my squad get eviscerated by a few snipers. They managed to get stolen goods, some of which were T-7 Ion Disruptors, and you probably know what that is... I did, when I saw everyone I once knew get erased from existence within a moment, their cells exploding and vaporizing. Hours for them, mere milliseconds for me. The only reason I survived was because of a grenade, I played dead since it was too far to harm me, and they fell for it. Stormtroopers were the weak ones, right? Surely the grenade killed the last of them. They didn't expect me to rise from the dead and shoot them in the backs of their heads. I ended up burying the rifles, nothing like that should exist at all.
I was expecting to see Starkiller when he disintegrates a whole platoon of stormtroopers in the promotional footage for Force Unleashed Two, but after seeing your picks some of these are way more drawn-out and brutal than being vaporized in an instant.
I've watched 'Rogue One' a few times, and I have TOTALLY missed the scene where the Stormtrooper got shot in the balls! Thanks, bro, there's no way I can 'unsee' that moment! Lol.
Makes me think of the bits in Austin Powers when the families of deceased henchman would recieve a call informing them of the henchmans death. Storm troopers have families too.
@Mdx Que83 These iconic baddies need more representation as AN EFFECTIVE FIGHTING FORCE!!! DAMNIT DISNEY!!!! We’ve got plenty of Stars now please just bring back the Wars already. Jeez.
I would’ve put the AT-DP driver that was mind tricked by Ezra into killing his own comrades and then forced to helplessly direct his own walker off a platform to be crushed by the immense pressure of a gas giant as he continuously falls towards the planet’s center.
@@sdm47No i believe Ezra was mind controling the driver because you can see him straightening up his posture wich they usually do when being mind tricked. Plus the driver didn't try to fighting back to regain control of the AT-DT wich means he wasn't conscious.
I feel sorry for all these stormtroopers who fought bravely and sacrificed. They were men who ready to be sacrificed anytime, anywhere for the good of the Empire, and they were willing to sacrifice because of their absolute loyalty to the Empire.
I hate how Lucas and Disney forgot that a lot of these guys were just people who were brainwashed or just poor and wanted to join for action or to see the world (like Luke). It's especially sad because there's people in the real world who join armies committing horrible acts for similar reasons. smh.
@@bboi1489 Exactly, many of them joined the army because of poverty, and the army was almost their only chance. But even so they still truly believe what the Empire says to them, that they can bring law and order to the galaxy, and that the Galactic Empire military is on the side of justice fighting the rebel scum. That's why they are loyal to the Empire and willing to sacrifice for the Empire. Just like the stormtroopers will face terrifying alien monsters for the people. If they did something wrong, it was also obeying the orders of the Imperial leaders, and the person responsible should be the one who gave the orders.
I kinda figured no.2 & 1 were gonna be both Deathstar explosions, because AT LEAST 500,000, or hell, maybe 1,000,000 even per station Storm Troopers (including all the operators & maintenance)were either nuked or launched into space and died from suffocation, hypothermia, and even blood boiling from the lack of an atmosphere...
Wasn’t there a storm trooper who got his neck snapped by Vader for seeing his face? That’s also a horrible way to go as he wouldn’t have died quick enough to not realize what happened. Or basically any dark trooper, they were the imperials best, only to be cut up, stuck into a mechanical suit. They weren’t really alive to begin with but going through all and then die is messed up
I felt sorry for the stormtroopers who were guarding Grogu. Imagine being dragged around by an unseen force being produced by a tiny green goblin. You could hear there screams of pain.
We offer our most sincere condolences to the families of all Storm Troopers of whom have died and awarded the newest Medal of the Palace to all those of whom have died in search of the Empires greater good.
The one that always stood out to me was in that one old comic following the Hoth troopers firing the ion cannon, and one of them stabbed a stormtrooper with an icicle right through the visor.
Fun fact: when stormtroopers are shot, most of the time they don’t die unless it’s a headshot. They are knocked out for a while from the pain. The lasers are mostly heat. The armor absorbs it but it still can puncture the skin. Most stormtroopers actually survive. Once again if it’s a head shot they most likely were killed or no armour.
I actually couldn't enjoy the Mandalorian because I felt this weird sympathy for the stormtroopers who kept getting killed. Thanks to the character of Finn we now know that they are mainly enslaved child soldiers who have probably been brainwashed and brutalized. And then they're such incompetent fighters, that it began to feel like the protagonists were killing a bunch of incompetent children. Every time a large group of storm troopers showed up I never felt any fear for the heroes. I just kept wondering how all the poor stormtroopers would die. It was a strange experience which turned me off the show. I wonder if other people had the same feeling.
In summary if you're a member of the imperial military in Star Wars, stay away from outer rim assignments. Because you'll likely either A) get sent to a world with a hostile ecosystem and natives with the fighting skills of John Rambo. Or B) encounter a Mandalorian that will dunk on you like you're a Persian soldier from the movie 300.
A new contender for the list is the trooper that gets cut clean in half by a beam gate in Kenobi. Not to mention the guy was shot right in the chest before.
We all know that the best way to completely remove all tension from a movie is to make it so that the enemies are completely unthreatening whatsoever. When I saw Imperial Stormtroopers for the first time in the original series they did come off as cannon fodder, but they still did seem somewhat threatening (just see the beginning of episode 4). But now I just think “Oh, I wonder what humorous death Disney planed this time”. How am I supposed to fear for the safety of the protagonists if the antagonists are just so unthreatening? Imagine watching Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan if the whole movie the Germans were completely unthreatening and never killed anyone.
The Stormtroopers you said were 501st, weren't... let me explain. After the fall of the Republic, the 501st Legion became the "Vader's Fist"; they still wore Stormtrooper armor with 501st style paint on it. The "Vader's Fist" was brought anywhere that Vader went on a crusade, and would fight anyone who could pose a chance at causing Vader to have to defend himself. The troopers on Endor was just a small company of standard Stormtroopers not assigned to a division.
@@ragesquit5415 correction my good man. Clones while no longer being made to replace losses the veterans were still clones. While rebels proves that some left. Those younger stayed in their divisions.
@@ragesquit5415 I do believe you haven't bothered to read my comment. Rex was middle aged as the clone wars ended and defected from the republic/empire cause he got his chip removed. He is an exception along with Gregor and Wolfe
Wow! Expecting a punchline in the initial speech gave me all the more chills once it concluded. Maybe one day we’ll get a good Stormtrooper or Imperial Army Trooper story.
While it may sound bad, these are rare occurrences. Just keep in mind that thanks to the Empire, I was able to pursue college level courses and gained the skills necessary for the competitive job market
At 10:00 in the lower center panel, the text starts out with “Maybe they don’t show up on…” before it cuts away. Could it have been “Maybe they don’t show up on infrared at all?” If so, that would be an awesome reference to _Aliens_ .
Kovacs does indeed deliver Corporal Dietrich's whole line from _Aliens_ in that panel. There are probably more efficient search strings, but flip through the Google results for 'creepy ewoks' and you'll find the page of the comic that Allen used. The writer of that comic - 'Apocalypse Endor' by Christian Read - picked some pretty great influences for the story.
I think that a lot of stormtroopers shared bonds with one another and didnt just see eachother as rivals. The academy taught them to snitch and harm one another, but trauma bonding would still be real in SW and stormtroopers would definitely form tight bonds.
from what i understant, the Stormtrooper armor is designed to disperse the energy of a blaster bolt and insulate the wearer, lessening the injury. the man may be knocked unconscious, but his chances of survival are notably higher than if he didn't wear these armor pieces. That being said, getting shot ten times and then taking a hit to the head that broke the helmet... yeah, he's definetly dead
That would have been a truly excruciating death, methinks. Lying there, shattered limbs twitching spasmodically as the punctured muscles bleed out and the damaged nerves neurons fire away indiscriminately. His rib punctured lungs slowly filled with fluid so he ultimately drowned in his own juices.
In one the newer Timothy Zahn books ( do not remember which one) several stormtroopers fall down a pit towards a planets core, and it is remarked it probably took several hours of falling for them to die.
In regards to the Battlefront II clip showing the survival mode, those guys were effectively in *Space Vietnam,* only instead of Vietnamese and bullets it was *Bears and Lasers.*
RIP to all the storm troopers that tried their best especially the one who fought back when mandalorian put him in a head lock but yet he hit him in the stomach atleast he tried
4:13 + Shots 1-5: Clearly missed. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because TK #? was already dead.
I'm surprised that the stormtroopers killed by Boba Fett's Gaffi stick aren't on here. A Gaderffi stick is basically a totokia (a Fijian war club specifically designed to smash in a person's skull) with the addition of a spear. Add to the fact that their helmets were destroyed in the process, those kills were pretty brutal. I'm also surprised that the Force Unleashed II stormtroopers weren't on here. Getting dismembered, beheaded, or cut in half are all pretty brutal. Also, the stormtroopers in front of Fortress Vader, who suffered death by lava in the Vader comics. Also the TIE pilots whose TIE fighters were shot down and destroyed, but did not explode. It's like a car crash but worse, and death isn't always as instantaneous as they would have been had they instead been vaporized in an explosion.
Another brutal Stormtrooper death thats arguably worse than any on this list is the Stormtrooper Boba Fett encountered inside the Sarlacc’s stomach during his escape. I don’t know when the Stormtrooper fell in the pit but it was at least a few years of constant suffering before Boba returned to kill the Sarlacc and end the victims’ suffering.
Probably the most horrifyingly painful and miserable demise that lasted an eternity to the victim. Death would have come as a welcome release from such unbridled horror.
Honestly every video that's of this nature just makes Stormtroopers feel super incompetent tbh. We should be seeing more for the rebels but it's always stormtroopers.
The one unarmed stormtrooper that Baze Malbus brutally executed deserves some recognition. He was on his stomach with no way of fighting back and Baze put a hole in his face.
Youd think after that whole Zillo beast arc in the clone wars, theyd have figured out a way to make better armor for the stormtroopers Like yeah plastoid can absorb energy and blaster fire to the point where its likely youll survive several shots before its compromised, but its SUPER weak to physical damage, as Boba showed us. Like... Some troopers died to heavy blows alone. What kind of army cant handle physical damage!
The Empire spared every expense equipping their soldiers. They weren't interested in well trained soldiers with top of the line gear. They wanted numbers and they wanted them cheap, which is why they stopped using clones and started recruiting and rounding up conscripts.
For about 15 years, there was no rebellion, so there was no war. Training soldiers and equipping them with effective weaponry is an unnecessary expense in those circumstances. Stormtroopers are equipped to intimidate, to be the face of oppression. Even in A New Hope, you can see a world of difference between the troops expected to bring results on the Tantive IV, and the ones who were tasked with policing Tatooine.
Now that I think about it. To y’all that know starkiller and all that, when he does that whole vaporization thing, do the unlucky troops feel pain or is it instant which it looks like it is?
I think an honorable mention should go to the stormtrooper that got kicked in the face by Kallus and then fell to his death on Kessel, poor guy fell into a seemingly endless pit and got kicked in the head by the commanding officer just so he could survive
Life in the Star Wars Galazy without the force is practically a death sentence or being condemned to life in slavery. I am dual classing as A Sith Warrior for sure.
The clone troopers were given a massive "fuck you": imagine working with a group of people and coming to befriend them and maybe even more. You've got their back. they've got yours and you're like brothers. Then some _absolute bastard_ flips a switch in your brain and you start gunning them down.
I would to see a video of mainly nameless clones that had horrible deaths. I can think with the top of my head the dead of Commander Colt (The one that initially gets choked by Ventress, thrown into a wall which removes his helmet, and later Ventress activates her light saber pointing to him, Colt knowing what's about to happen panics and shakes his head in denial and trying to scream, and with that Ventress puts her saber to perforate his chest and she kisses the corpse. That one and the nameless that gets his head/chest crushed by Grievous feet in front of Obi Wan Kenobi.
In the Mandalorian season 2 I really felt the pain for 2 guys. One who falls head first into lava and one who falls through into space. Not sure how resistant the armor where but Im sure they died in great pain and fear
I find it funny in a morbid way that of the ten death scenarios listed here, Moff Gideon's forces suffered three of them. If I were a Remnant trooper I'd be trying to find a new Moff quick like...
The molten metal didn't fall on the active AT DP, it fell on the modified AT DP that is used to fire the superweapon. You know?the one identifiable by the massive rectangular structures protruding out from the hull? Also, AT DPs need two pilots to be fully functional, a driver and a gunner so we can assume that two stormtroopers died here
6:00 the storm trooper more than likely didn’t die from burns he probably suffocated from his helmet melting around his head sealing his respirators and preventing the removal. Best case scenario the plastoid is able to be removed but it’s gonna be stuck to his body when the helmet comes off his facial skin is coming with it.
Ezra taking control of the walker pilot and mowing down the storm troopers on the ground was messed up. Then the pilot, still under Ezra's control, just walks off a cliff. The pilot was basically a spectator to his own death and the death of his comrades, wtf.

The flaw of the Empire is that Palpatine cannot used Battle Droids as the primary fighting forces for him. If he wanted to treat Stormtroopers like Battle Droids, better use Battle Droids. But sadly, he already used them in the Clones Wars for the Separatists Alliance.
It’s implied Palpatine didn’t want battle droids to be common.
Or he should've kept the Clones.
@@jonathan4158 Their costs are higher than Battle Droids. Not only the cloning process but also have to raise them for years as well. After that, he had to pay for equipping them with good weapons, good armors and other necessities for living beings as well.
@@lerneanlion exactly. He wanted to put the Republic in a financial crisis so that he’d have an easier time passing the changes he wanted to make.
That’s the actual sad part about it Actually in fourth episode storm troopers are still pretty bad ass maybe that’s because you’re only watching Vader’s fist…. Especially when you realize that they are being told to purposely miss their targets To expose the rebel base which unfortunately is a ridiculous waste of manpower….. I still say to this day since the storm trooper is worth the most visible example of the emperor is my the biggest mistake he made beside having incompetent imperial officers at the helm was not having a competent fighting force ….. He should’ve stuck with the clones but his rationale was because the Jedi were all but exterminated that he only needed a fighting force that would go up against non-force users so the use and expense of clones was unnecessary. But we all see how well that worked out
I am no longer the child I was when watching Return of the Jedi for the first time in theater's. I can now appreciate the intrinsic horrors of the Ewok species, and find sympathy for so many poor storm troopers killed so horribly just trying to do their jobs.
@Content_enjoyer they’re just simple poor kids who were taken from their family and brought into a mess just to help 2 Sith who can casually wipe out entire planets
@Content_enjoyer i agree it sucks thatso many have to die. but the empire had to go
Their jobs were to support basically space hitler so I think it’s a warranted death😊
An my dad still doesn’t see how Ewoks are really deadly…
Until The Mandalorian, I didn't know plastoid could be smashed like a plate. Boba is brutal.
Honestly plastoid should've handled a bit more beating than we saw. The stick scene made sense but it gets a bit agitating seeing them get knocked over easily by small punches. Granted, not even the clone Wars handled armor that well but still.
Until BOBF I thought Boba was brutal...
It couldn't Disney made it up
When the stormtroopers are shooting at enemies, they will miss 90% of their shots.
When they are friendly firing, they will hit all of their shots.
Stormtroopers hit most of their shots, most times they miss is on purpose to trick the rebels
ikr
Plot armor is a cruel mistress.
FR!
Stormtrooper armor is actually decent. It can block lasers unless they are military grade or illegally modified. Which 95% percent of blasters are.
Well,it blocks almost all lasers,the impact however knocks them out,HOWEVER if a laser finds a way through a gap of the armor they are *DEAD* but the armor fails sometimes.
Technically, they're bolts of ionized gas, not lasers, otherwise they'd traveling in a beam at light speed.
I remember that Stormtrooper who was kicked off that beam by Agent Kallus.
The Empire really took normal humans and pretended they were battle droids.
Just because he asked an innocent question.
Yeah that was messed up. Asking "First time you've seen a Jedi, sir?" Is not a reason to be kicked to your death where you'll either die upon impact, or break so many bones that you suffer needlessly until death finally frees you.
Living beings have souls and experience trauma, suffering, fear, and pain. The Empire ignores this.
@@ohkaygoplay definitely
Officers like that truly suck.
One of the reasons I like rouge one besides it being military film. It show stormtroopers shooting in more of an tactical manner then what on scene in the OG trilogy.
Yeah I liked seeing them aim.
Luke's, SPEEDERBIKE victim, most likely suffered the injury you suggested, but, just as easily, could have been instead death, by that impact "souping his brain", in his skull and helmet. Brain soup possibilities aside, the broken back and or neck, would be far worse -especially if not found by the omnivorous and apparently predatory natives. Slow starvation, dehydration, and an armored body shaped tomb full of body waste..is..even more depressingly horrific to think of than the already horrifying thought of being helplessly eaten alive.. which is really really..bad.
Which is why none of that did or would happen since the bike exploded on impact into TINY pieces an he seems apparently to been atomized or souped on impact
@@robertagu5533 Apologies. I meant the one that he took a bike from..and tossed aside to slam into a supergigantic tree all alone.
@@scottbraun2457 oh your fine think the impact but your still alive an several trillion literal light years from nearest means of good medical aid is one the worst case scenarios.... If any of say THE worst. Being entombed in your armor, barely alive an unable to move if your awake you'll suffer as you go. Last ONLY as long as dehydration allows. Assuming everything hostile either never finds you or just decided it's NOT gonna mess with you. ESPECIALLY if it's least semi sentient like an Ewok that just decided you weren't worth the effort to finish off. Which being a dick on that one would be universal
I wonder if he would have survived long enough to see the explosion of the second death star. Imagine the overbearingly crushing weight of total helplessness.
I give your response a "like", not because I like the idea of the poor guy helplessly suffering in human soup state in his armor, gurgling his last, to have his sight in life be the second DEATHSTAR dieing ..but rather to acknowledge equally how horrible they were going to feel even worse, when that sight came into view.
A moment of silence for my fallen co-workers. Some of these buds I even knew
Especially the guy who got shot in the crotch and all those who served in space Vietnam against sentient teddy bears.

Bro you are evrywhere
A moment of silence for when boba shattered their armor due to plot armor
As a person who is very epic, and in fact, is a gamer, I can confirm that this is a Bingchilling moment every body.
That's why I'll insist to my dying day that the clones were better soldiers than the Stormtroopers since clones viewed their squadmates as family made them work better together while Imperial Stormtroopers saw their fellow sqaudmates as potential rivals and would never hesitate about shooting them
Yea bad company culture well get around to talking about that
@@GenerationTech facts
Honestly that was mostly legends stormtroopers where they were elite fanatical soldiers. In canon they're never portrayed as such and they pretty much dropped that concept by this point
The Stromtrooper Corp would be one of the worst armies simply because they are trained to compete with each other instead of working together.
True they are better soliders in legends (real Canon as far as I'm concerned) but they still were inferior to the clone troopers. The clones basically were raised to fight together and oddly enough learned to view themselves as individuals and each other as family. Stormtroopers, even in legends, were treated as nothing more than a number and expendable. Overall that means that they are less efficient as a unit and likely didn't trust the other members of their unit to have their backs. Their were exceptions in legends when a officer would go out of their way to ensure that the troops under his command were taken care of, which usually lead to better results...at least until another officer gets jealous of their and sabotages them.
I knew a Trooper once... No.2304.
He was a nice guy. Had a loving wife and two wonderful kids on Tatooine...
Unfortunately, he was deployed to the 1st Death Star just before the Skywalker kid blew it to kingdom come.

Recently I was lucky enough to become a death trooper, but I still can't forget the fear of seeing my squad get eviscerated by a few snipers. They managed to get stolen goods, some of which were T-7 Ion Disruptors, and you probably know what that is... I did, when I saw everyone I once knew get erased from existence within a moment, their cells exploding and vaporizing. Hours for them, mere milliseconds for me. The only reason I survived was because of a grenade, I played dead since it was too far to harm me, and they fell for it. Stormtroopers were the weak ones, right? Surely the grenade killed the last of them. They didn't expect me to rise from the dead and shoot them in the backs of their heads. I ended up burying the rifles, nothing like that should exist at all.
I was expecting to see Starkiller when he disintegrates a whole platoon of stormtroopers in the promotional footage for Force Unleashed Two, but after seeing your picks some of these are way more drawn-out and brutal than being vaporized in an instant.
Except for the absolute #1 pick, where both happened, I agree.
Besides, the "Force Unleashed" games are no longer canon.
I've watched 'Rogue One' a few times, and I have TOTALLY missed the scene where the Stormtrooper got shot in the balls! Thanks, bro, there's no way I can 'unsee' that moment! Lol.
Oh, damn.
Makes me think of the bits in Austin Powers when the families of deceased henchman would recieve a call informing them of the henchmans death. Storm troopers have families too.

I would’ve put the AT-DP driver that was mind tricked by Ezra into killing his own comrades and then forced to helplessly direct his own walker off a platform to be crushed by the immense pressure of a gas giant as he continuously falls towards the planet’s center.
Damn that’s cold.
Good Lord, Ezra.
I wouldn’t say he was mind tricked
I think Ezra used the force to control the machine
@@sdm47No i believe Ezra was mind controling the driver because you can see him straightening up his posture wich they usually do when being mind tricked. Plus the driver didn't try to fighting back to regain control of the AT-DT wich means he wasn't conscious.

Me to.
That still would have been a bad way to go
Considering he missed the most horrific of all, I am not suprised at all by that oversight.
Well the sarlacc keeps you alive for 1000 years, so my guy technically isnt dead yet
Can't have two vore deaths I suppose, lest you reveal too much about yourself
I feel sorry for all these stormtroopers who fought bravely and sacrificed. They were men who ready to be sacrificed anytime, anywhere for the good of the Empire, and they were willing to sacrifice because of their absolute loyalty to the Empire.
I hate how Lucas and Disney forgot that a lot of these guys were just people who were brainwashed or just poor and wanted to join for action or to see the world (like Luke). It's especially sad because there's people in the real world who join armies committing horrible acts for similar reasons. smh.
@@bboi1489 Exactly, many of them joined the army because of poverty, and the army was almost their only chance. But even so they still truly believe what the Empire says to them, that they can bring law and order to the galaxy, and that the Galactic Empire military is on the side of justice fighting the rebel scum. That's why they are loyal to the Empire and willing to sacrifice for the Empire. Just like the stormtroopers will face terrifying alien monsters for the people. If they did something wrong, it was also obeying the orders of the Imperial leaders, and the person responsible should be the one who gave the orders.
I kinda figured no.2 & 1 were gonna be both Deathstar explosions, because AT LEAST 500,000, or hell, maybe 1,000,000 even per station Storm Troopers (including all the operators & maintenance)were either nuked or launched into space and died from suffocation, hypothermia, and even blood boiling from the lack of an atmosphere...
Death 11: stormtrooper x died on the toilet when the death star 2 blew up
Wasn’t there a storm trooper who got his neck snapped by Vader for seeing his face? That’s also a horrible way to go as he wouldn’t have died quick enough to not realize what happened.
Or basically any dark trooper, they were the imperials best, only to be cut up, stuck into a mechanical suit. They weren’t really alive to begin with but going through all and then die is messed up
I felt sorry for the stormtroopers who were guarding Grogu. Imagine being dragged around by an unseen force being produced by a tiny green goblin. You could hear there screams of pain.

Okay...shooting someone in the nuts like that MIGHT be a Stormtrooper thing to do. But 3 times in a row? Come on, that's totally personal.
That's what you get for eating the last pizza slice, CT-4296
This makes me feel so bad for stormtroopers, I hope they find peace in the afterlife even though they’re fictional characters.
The one that always stood out to me was in that one old comic following the Hoth troopers firing the ion cannon, and one of them stabbed a stormtrooper with an icicle right through the visor.
Fun fact: when stormtroopers are shot, most of the time they don’t die unless it’s a headshot. They are knocked out for a while from the pain. The lasers are mostly heat. The armor absorbs it but it still can puncture the skin. Most stormtroopers actually survive. Once again if it’s a head shot they most likely were killed or no armour.
I actually couldn't enjoy the Mandalorian because I felt this weird sympathy for the stormtroopers who kept getting killed. Thanks to the character of Finn we now know that they are mainly enslaved child soldiers who have probably been brainwashed and brutalized. And then they're such incompetent fighters, that it began to feel like the protagonists were killing a bunch of incompetent children. Every time a large group of storm troopers showed up I never felt any fear for the heroes. I just kept wondering how all the poor stormtroopers would die. It was a strange experience which turned me off the show. I wonder if other people had the same feeling.
The stormtroopers of the Empire weren’t enslaved children. They didn’t do that until the First Order. The stormtroopers of the Empire were recruited
Did you know most storm troopers do not actually die, their armour protects them they just get a massive shock and become unconscious
In summary if you're a member of the imperial military in Star Wars, stay away from outer rim assignments. Because you'll likely either A) get sent to a world with a hostile ecosystem and natives with the fighting skills of John Rambo. Or B) encounter a Mandalorian that will dunk on you like you're a Persian soldier from the movie 300.
Or C) get shot in the balls from your fellow squad mate 😂
Like seriously for outer rim shootouts are just a tradition
@@dominmaj9682 yeehaw
A new contender for the list is the trooper that gets cut clean in half by a beam gate in Kenobi. Not to mention the guy was shot right in the chest before.
We all know that the best way to completely remove all tension from a movie is to make it so that the enemies are completely unthreatening whatsoever. When I saw Imperial Stormtroopers for the first time in the original series they did come off as cannon fodder, but they still did seem somewhat threatening (just see the beginning of episode 4). But now I just think “Oh, I wonder what humorous death Disney planed this time”. How am I supposed to fear for the safety of the protagonists if the antagonists are just so unthreatening? Imagine watching Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan if the whole movie the Germans were completely unthreatening and never killed anyone.
10 Times Stormtroopers Were Killed by Their Own Superiors.
I think that this video can probably be topped just by looking for the 10 most horrific deaths inflicted by Vader on his own people.
The Stormtroopers you said were 501st, weren't... let me explain. After the fall of the Republic, the 501st Legion became the "Vader's Fist"; they still wore Stormtrooper armor with 501st style paint on it. The "Vader's Fist" was brought anywhere that Vader went on a crusade, and would fight anyone who could pose a chance at causing Vader to have to defend himself. The troopers on Endor was just a small company of standard Stormtroopers not assigned to a division.
Palpatine said that they're his best troops which means 501-st
@@WindRunner04 actually not, as they were no longer clones at this point they were just regular humans so most likely not better than any others

While it may sound bad, these are rare occurrences.
Just keep in mind that thanks to the Empire, I was able to pursue college level courses and gained the skills necessary for the competitive job market
At 10:00 in the lower center panel, the text starts out with “Maybe they don’t show up on…” before it cuts away.
Could it have been “Maybe they don’t show up on infrared at all?” If so, that would be an awesome reference to _Aliens_ .
Kovacs does indeed deliver Corporal Dietrich's whole line from _Aliens_ in that panel. There are probably more efficient search strings, but flip through the Google results for 'creepy ewoks' and you'll find the page of the comic that Allen used.
The writer of that comic - 'Apocalypse Endor' by Christian Read - picked some pretty great influences for the story.
I think that a lot of stormtroopers shared bonds with one another and didnt just see eachother as rivals. The academy taught them to snitch and harm one another, but trauma bonding would still be real in SW and stormtroopers would definitely form tight bonds.
Honestly, that scout trooper's organs probably liquefied on impact. He hit flat at 310 mph.
from what i understant, the Stormtrooper armor is designed to disperse the energy of a blaster bolt and insulate the wearer, lessening the injury. the man may be knocked unconscious, but his chances of survival are notably higher than if he didn't wear these armor pieces.
That being said, getting shot ten times and then taking a hit to the head that broke the helmet...
yeah, he's definetly dead
Stormtroopers deserved better
The storm trooper that hit the tree on endor had every bone in his body broken on impact according to the novelization.
That would have been a truly excruciating death, methinks. Lying there, shattered limbs twitching spasmodically as the punctured muscles bleed out and the damaged nerves neurons fire away indiscriminately. His rib punctured lungs slowly filled with fluid so he ultimately drowned in his own juices.
@@datathunderstorm he was dead on impact, ribs punctured his heart and his brain crushed in his skull
I could watch generation techs content all day. Imagine having a career studying Star Wars.
In one the newer Timothy Zahn books ( do not remember which one) several stormtroopers fall down a pit towards a planets core, and it is remarked it probably took several hours of falling for them to die.
In regards to the Battlefront II clip showing the survival mode, those guys were effectively in *Space Vietnam,* only instead of Vietnamese and bullets it was *Bears and Lasers.*

4:13 +
Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because TK #? was already dead.
I'm surprised that the stormtroopers killed by Boba Fett's Gaffi stick aren't on here. A Gaderffi stick is basically a totokia (a Fijian war club specifically designed to smash in a person's skull) with the addition of a spear. Add to the fact that their helmets were destroyed in the process, those kills were pretty brutal.
I'm also surprised that the Force Unleashed II stormtroopers weren't on here. Getting dismembered, beheaded, or cut in half are all pretty brutal.
Also, the stormtroopers in front of Fortress Vader, who suffered death by lava in the Vader comics.
Also the TIE pilots whose TIE fighters were shot down and destroyed, but did not explode. It's like a car crash but worse, and death isn't always as instantaneous as they would have been had they instead been vaporized in an explosion.
13:00. "Lothal was considered a minor Imperial World" pans to one of the largest on-screen Imperial fleets seen
Another brutal Stormtrooper death thats arguably worse than any on this list is the Stormtrooper Boba Fett encountered inside the Sarlacc’s stomach during his escape. I don’t know when the Stormtrooper fell in the pit but it was at least a few years of constant suffering before Boba returned to kill the Sarlacc and end the victims’ suffering.
Probably the most horrifyingly painful and miserable demise that lasted an eternity to the victim. Death would have come as a welcome release from such unbridled horror.
Honestly every video that's of this nature just makes Stormtroopers feel super incompetent tbh. We should be seeing more for the rebels but it's always stormtroopers.
@west of whatever Yeah, still doesn't explain the fact that somehow they're portrayed more incompetently than the likes of rebel soldiers.
@@Imperialstorm03 they seems incompetent most of the times because most of the times their targets are protected by huge plot-armour
Rest in peace to the Stormtroopers we messed with in the Force Unleashed series.

The one unarmed stormtrooper that Baze Malbus brutally executed deserves some recognition. He was on his stomach with no way of fighting back and Baze put a hole in his face.
Thanks!
Youd think after that whole Zillo beast arc in the clone wars, theyd have figured out a way to make better armor for the stormtroopers
Like yeah plastoid can absorb energy and blaster fire to the point where its likely youll survive several shots before its compromised, but its SUPER weak to physical damage, as Boba showed us. Like... Some troopers died to heavy blows alone. What kind of army cant handle physical damage!
The Empire spared every expense equipping their soldiers. They weren't interested in well trained soldiers with top of the line gear. They wanted numbers and they wanted them cheap, which is why they stopped using clones and started recruiting and rounding up conscripts.
For about 15 years, there was no rebellion, so there was no war. Training soldiers and equipping them with effective weaponry is an unnecessary expense in those circumstances. Stormtroopers are equipped to intimidate, to be the face of oppression. Even in A New Hope, you can see a world of difference between the troops expected to bring results on the Tantive IV, and the ones who were tasked with policing Tatooine.
Those Stormtroopers who ended up in the Sarlacc Pit got it the worst. There couldn't be a more horrible way to die in Star Wars.

I think an honorable mention should go to the stormtrooper that got kicked in the face by Kallus and then fell to his death on Kessel, poor guy fell into a seemingly endless pit and got kicked in the head by the commanding officer just so he could survive
Okay but can we talk about how genuinely scary Ewok Hunt made the Endor feel. Like idk but that shit was immersive af.

I cried too much. I feel so bad for all of them.
The clone troopers were given a massive "fuck you": imagine working with a group of people and coming to befriend them and maybe even more. You've got their back. they've got yours and you're like brothers.
Then some _absolute bastard_ flips a switch in your brain and you start gunning them down.
I would to see a video of mainly nameless clones that had horrible deaths. I can think with the top of my head the dead of Commander Colt (The one that initially gets choked by Ventress, thrown into a wall which removes his helmet, and later Ventress activates her light saber pointing to him, Colt knowing what's about to happen panics and shakes his head in denial and trying to scream, and with that Ventress puts her saber to perforate his chest and she kisses the corpse.
That one and the nameless that gets his head/chest crushed by Grievous feet in front of Obi Wan Kenobi.
In the Mandalorian season 2 I really felt the pain for 2 guys.
One who falls head first into lava and one who falls through into space.
Not sure how resistant the armor where but Im sure they died in great pain and fear
I find it funny in a morbid way that of the ten death scenarios listed here, Moff Gideon's forces suffered three of them. If I were a Remnant trooper I'd be trying to find a new Moff quick like...
The molten metal didn't fall on the active AT DP, it fell on the modified AT DP that is used to fire the superweapon. You know?the one identifiable by the massive rectangular structures protruding out from the hull? Also, AT DPs need two pilots to be fully functional, a driver and a gunner so we can assume that two stormtroopers died here
With all the action and injuries we all kind of forget how much that shit actually hurts
6:00 the storm trooper more than likely didn’t die from burns he probably suffocated from his helmet melting around his head sealing his respirators and preventing the removal. Best case scenario the plastoid is able to be removed but it’s gonna be stuck to his body when the helmet comes off his facial skin is coming with it.
This video was all worth it for the enhanced break down of the triple tap to the balls
