@@luisemoralesfalcon4716 No! Both groups deserve anthology films. In addition to standard storntroopers, NULL arc troopers, stormcommandos, nova troopers, imperial shadow troopers, and a royal guard.
Sweet video man! I love that the stormtroopers are being more fleshed out now like the clones were, in the original trilogy they all felt like disposable soldiers instead of actual people and shared more in common with droids than clones. The new canon for the empire is so great because now we get a better look inside its ranks and see that not all members were truly evil. FInn is also an example of why this is so great it makes everything more grey and not just a story of these are the good guys and these are the bad guys but one with actual people that share different ideals and morals but are not necessarily evil. Again great job! I know I make star wars videos too but i'm actually a huge fan of you as well! Keep it up and thanks!

Thanks! The Star Wars KZreadrs out there are all awesome. They've all been wonderful to meet and talk to, including you of course. :) Totally agree about the Empire. Stories like Lost Stars and this comic actually present legitimate reasons for people to join the Empire rather than make it a faceless, evil organization.

What's the difference between ARC troopers and clone/storm commandos?
@Chaotic_Jackal

ARC troopers are as their name implies are an elite reconnaissance force designed to locate weak points in the enemies lines then hit them hard. Whilst Storm Commandos are your more traditional spec ops soldiers whom you only call in when you need someone to go in to eliminate high value and heavily protected targets that would otherwise be untouchable militarily or politically.

Depends on the situation mostly, in a quick firefight, skirmish, or ambush ARC troopers would have a slight advantage due to being the more maneuverable of the two forces. Whilst Storm Commandos will carry the day in a prolonged or running battle due to being better trained and equipped to deal with an entrenched enemy force.

I didn't read the comics but the fact that these troopers are badasses makes this awesome
I LOVED this issue. It gave me flashbacks to the good ol' Republic/Imperial Commando days. The latest issue of Darth Vader was pretty good too.
Great job Disney! Keep up the good work! You're finally making these characters act like the humans they are!
I can't wait to see more of scar squad.
Maybe we can get a republic commando spiritual sequel on these guys
I love how they show stormtroopers as actual people and shows their motivation.
scar squad just sounds really badass

I just got the comic and just learned about scar squadron and they look so cool
It's great to see that stormtroopers get into some serious action and kick ass. So far, they were portrayed as dummies who cannot hit anything, or do anything (with notable exceptions of the openings scenes of New Hope and TFA), which is not so great considering that they should be the force behind imperial supremacy. Especially Rebels series makes them totally dumb and useless. btw Not sure about the lightsaber though. I have no problem with non force sensitive poeple having one and handling one against other lightsaber given the circumstances,, but it's not a very good or efficient weapon for any other type of combat. (especially considering you can wield other melee weapons, less dangerous to use for a wielder)

Also, this proves that them not being able to hit anything was perhaps a training issue. Before I think it was mentioned that they had bad accuracy on the trade-off of overall combat survivability because of the armor and helmet. That being said, these troopers must have some nifty special helmets, or they are much, much sharper than the average stormtrooper.

I loved issue 21 and scar squad especially kreel once he took out his lightsaber it was SICK my jaw dropped when I saw it
They look so freaking badass
I hope they do a fig of them all
I like this Scar stormtrooper squad because this feels more like Star Wars Legends or The original canon.
an alien stormtrooper that has a lightsaber? well holy shit.
I've been waiting for these guys. they are so cool! With the Death Troopers from rogue one and these elite stormtroopers being 100% cannon, I hope they get added to the 501st CRL's
Fantastic issue, nice to see more of an empire perspective rather than it always been the rebel scum
nice Video :)
I put this out there before, but I think they are the ancestors of the Knights of Ren. Each of their occupations are similar to the concept art for Episode VIII. Since the reported to Darth Vader and saw the Empire as their saviors, it stands as a good reason that would kill Jedi or anyone else for the First Order. The Empire, at least to them, "promoted" stability.
Nice! I'm really hoping for some custom action figures or special editions of these guys to come out. Or better yet, make Hero Masher troops custom!
I love that the Star Wars canon is continuing to branch out like this!
Scar Squad deserves a game to be made.
The task force 99 reminds me of the joker squad in the old Star Wars canon
0:18 stormtroopers can hit their shots, the problem is plot armour
Now that clone wars Season 7 came out, I feel like they are the Bad Batch but they changed their names after order 66
they sound awsome finally i like this much better
Have you noticed that whenever, at the end of the video, you ask people to subscribe, Padme starts crying?
Sergeant Kreel is my favorite storm trooper of all time I have been collecting the series he’s in he’s awesome his first appearance is issue #10 and the first appearance of scar squadron is #21 his first cover appearance is #24

Can you do/do you have a video on stromtroopers?
It sounds like the main Star Wars comic series is becoming an anthology series.
I had a theory for a while that the Death Troopers from Rogue One were possibly the remnants from the bad batch. I hadn't heard of this specific comic until now, and can't wait to check it out! As much as I like most of the new canon books/comics/shows, I am slightly concerned with the new canon of muddling the timelines and creating issues of why we haven't seen any of it in the OT.
Really want to see Black Series figures of Scar Squad
yeah! that's the empire I like!
the scar squad vs the bad batch vs the hand of judgment
hey, can someone give me the link to it?

I would really like to see those guys in a ⭐️Wars movie one day
Do i have to have read the other star wars comics to understand this one?
Maybe it's just me, but for Kreel, I think a forearm-mounted blade like the ones on the agile Jedi-hunting clones (can't remember their name for the life of me) would fit him better.
Anybody else think once Clone wars got it’s final season and were able to make Clone force 99 these guys have been put aside and now are in a state of limbo where they aren’t dead but Lucas films has no plans on using them cause they’ve got the bad batch and Crosshair’s squad hunting them?

I rly need some help. I rly wanna buy this comic, but I’m rly confused atm. I couldn’t find any English version, but only German ones (which is not a problem for me as a German). Is it called „the last flight of the Harbringer“ (ger: der letzte Flug der Harbringer), and I obly found the comic with a cover that shows a X-Wing in front of a star destroyer. Is this this comic? I mean, on the Star Wars wiki they say that the cover looks quite different and shows stormtroopers....
prepare for the since he has a lightsaber he is snoke comments
Hey Star Wars explained, did you know that princess leia's cell number is actually finn's Stormtrooper number? Like so he can see this! How do I know this? Well, in the book a new hope: the princess, the scoundrel and the farm boy, it is revealed. I think it's a cool little nod to the force awakens, or the other way around.

In the new canon, Kreel is an important character in Luke's life and development as a Jedi. He trains Luke to fight with a light saber for a short time. He beats him in training obviously. Then later when they meet again, Kreel beats him in hand to hand, until Luke uses the force to pin him with debris. I think in their third duel Luke takes him out.
Oh and he’s got a lightsaber how subtle
I hope to see a rematch between Kreel and Luke in a lightsaber battle at the end of this arc, just to see the evolution of Luke's fighting abilities
I want see the squad in the Ashoka series
Can we please get a comic fleshing out Grievous? I know it might take a while, but it seems to me they almost did the opposite of that when Disney canon rolled around.
Darth Vader comics is down so does anyone know where I can find the comics free online?
Where did he get the lightsaber?
What is your opinion on Star Wars battlefront
Can you do a video about the theory that Kylo Ren is an agent for the Resistance?
Heh, so the SCAR Troopers are the Imperial equivalent of ARC Troopers.
