    Sith Troopers look really cool, but they make no sense and were clearly intended to be a part of the First Order, rather than the Sith Eternal. We'll cover that and more on today's Star Wars video!

    My conclusion on Disney's Star Wars is that everything looks really great in terms of effects and designs, but sometimes things don't line up with or break pre-established lore or lack any explanation for existing in general. My best example is the Holdo Maneuver. In the movie, it is one of the most visually stunning scenes in Star Wars, but it breaks too much lore for a lot of people to take it seriously otherwise.

If you could just hyper space jump into your enemy and destroy anything regardless of size and amount of armor then that'd make space combat pointless as people would just use auto pilot and/or droids to hyper space into there problems. Example battle of coruscant republic would just fling ships at CIS capital ships and surround grievous ship taking it over, battle of hoth rather than rely on a giant ion canon on the planet that has to charge between shots just send some ships up and hyper space jump into the Empire fleet blocking you would literally take a few mins and auto pilot & expendable droids are a thing star wars including the movies if that's what your basing your defence of Disney butchering the canon, and in the entire last battle of the The Last Jedi thered be no need for a giant 5 min battle in atmosphere you could just launch ships at the 1st Order/New Empire ships. Then if you bring in the tv shows, games, comics, etc. Space combat overall would just be pointless. The holdo maneuver isnt some one of kind cant be done again or unlikely to happen again like say the kessel run but literally anyone with a brain, common sense, and some sense of military strategy would use hyper space jumping into your enemy as a tactic. I'm not an angry fan boy I let star wars go years ago but I hate when shitty writing happens and people defending shitty writing. You can like Disney and there work.

      A wings are supposed to some of the fastest Star fighters in the galaxy, so not getting hit is more a priority for them than being able to take hits

    The green eyes and dark grey of the Death Trooper reminds me of Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell, which probably was a design cue that links to the spy theme you mentioned.

    The Sith Troopers seemed like a gratuitous use of RED & now that I’ve seen this, it’s clear JJ had no idea WHY they were red, he just wanted red. IMHO, red Imperial uniforms in Star Wars always represented the Imperial Guards for Palpatine & Vader. It was always used sparingly, with only a few individuals in the entire OT & PT wearing a completely red uniforms. It’s still unclear to me what the hell a Sith Trooper even is? How are they different than Stormtroopers? Are the troopers different, or is it just their armor? Are they force users? They looked like everyday cannon fodder during the last battle of TROS. So many questions that will never be answered.

      I’m pretty sure the sith troopers were especially picked troops who had some power with the force, but weren’t completely skilled enough to become a sith.

      @@kvproductions2581 I'm not defending it, it sucks compared to the OG BF2, but it's true that Pandemic's has some problems. It lacks troops, the heroes are glass cannons, there's barely any maps, etc. I hope that remaster project HarrisonFog's making adds much more maps and eventually troops.

      also ik pandemic's had its issues, specially with how it has aged, but luckily it has mods to fix them, which is awesome, sadly new BF2 will never have mods because EA is a piece of shit and would never give players that kind of freedom (no the shitty reskins that exist for battlefront II EA don't count as mods)
