Also should be pointed out with the incinerator trooper, the flame was more concentrated that a regular flame trooper meaning it was much hotter hence "incinerator trooper" they were known for wiping out buildings of enemies like seen in mandalorians finale

I hate star wars media that makes stormtroopers seem untrained and stupid. It takes all menace out of the story and generally just makes me not care because there are no consequences for the main characters actions. I much prefer how they are portrayed in things like Andor

Love the video. I do like what Allen from Generation Tech said about the stormtrooper corps; they're basically little more than a glorified light infantry recruited more for their fanaticism to Palpatine and the Empire than their competency and fighting ability. They had to rely entirely on the other branches (Imperial Navy and Army) for even the most basic things like transportation.

It's hard to disagree with that. Although they were portrayed as feared troopers and intimidating to ordinary citizens. Stormtroopers had to rely on sheer numbers to overwhelm capable opponents.

According to Lucas canon, stormtroopers are the navy seals of the empire, which is stupid considering how much there were, and how they actually acted. Plus the death troopers have taken over that role. While yeah stormtroopers seem super loyal to the empire, rebels made it seen like stormtroopers enlist either out of fear for themselves and family's safety, or sometimes out of racist and xenophobic ideologies that align with the empire. So while that statement is mostly correct, from the way their portrayed on scene, and also never in actual war I might add, only in occupational roles, seem more like another way for the empire to control and fear monger its occupied territories by making people enlist for safety. And they probably save costs by making stormtroopers their poster boys, instilling fear with them, and safety by joining. While they let the actually well trained army and navy handle the war. Anyways my point is, instead of "Stormtroopers are the stupidity loyal soldiers of the empire, while the army does the real work" its more like "Stormtroopers are the way the empire controls its occupied territories by instilling fear into people and make them join the stormtrooper corp, NOT out of loyalty and admiration of the empire, while the army does the real work" idk doesn't really matter no screenwriter ever or will ever portray stormtroopers the same way.

The redundancy in certain trooped types is pretty bizarre, the 4 different types of trooper trained for volcanic environments indicates a lack of oversight in story and communication between departments in real life. The Crimson Trooper at the very end is the most egregious, the design, which I highly doubt was superficial, appears to be based of the Royal Guard Stormtrooper armor, which is a far more interesting and logical use for that design than being another trooper who works around lava.

It would not surprise me to see that the Empire allowed for the redundant troops as some sort of experiment to see what loadout and gear worked the best. Maybe some behind the scenes politics in the military forced the creation of separate but same in function units.

Same with the troopers that operate vehicles. First there were the troopers in Rebels that operated speeder bikes, tanks and walkers, then there's the one operating the tank on Jedah in Rogue One that looks completely different from the Rebels design, and then there were the other troopers using the speeder bikes in Solo that also have their own design. Or that there's two different types of Snow Troopers, the ones in Empire and the other design used in Solo. Huge amount of redundancy all around

My head canon is that some variants were phased out over time and replaced by other versions, and that over time more and more of them just wore regular stormtrooper armour with some additions or painted stripes.

I know it's always a moment of excitement when they introduce a new trooper variant or TIE variant, but some of these are just ridiculous. They should focus on the environmental specialty variants (of which are still redundant like coastal defense, swamp, and wet weather). From those you can have weapon specialists being some variation of their environmental specialty. Like a Rocket Trooper or Sniper attached to a Snow Trooper unit will wear snow trooper armor. Something like a demolition trooper would simply be a snowtrooper that can plant explosives. This will leave fewer armor variations/trooper types for the ever budget conscious Empire to produce. Then they can keep all the elite/special operations variants as those actually look cool and deserve to be set apart. Though ideally the standard stormtrooper armor should be engineered to handle each environment, just with some modular add-ons if necessary.

I once heard that the Stormtrooper in Star Wars lore was inspired by the Nazis during World War II probably because of the shape of the helmet that the Germans were wearing and George Lucas had an idea to create that resemblance.
