The reason there were only like 4 stormtroopers per 10 infantry is because the Empire doesn't want to waste their highly trained shock troopers (contrary to popular belief stormtroopers were among the Empire's elite) on jobs that are better suited to the easily replaceable infantry of the Imperial Army. This makes even more sense when you consider how long this battle lasted in the timeline.

That would be a dream come true but unfortunately no star wars writer is intelligent enough to come up with something so nuanced

01:35 so in context, the capes were used because the Imperial Infantry Troopers & Stormtroopers literally had like no official “barracks” on Mimban, so using the capes, it was a sort of portable “sleeping bag” the Imperials would throw over themselves when in a “secured” area, because most of Mimban was nothing but mud and a soggy environment due to the planet wide oil and gas refineries. 04:20 so yes and no, they were the Mimban natives who have a bug like face but humanoid bodies that used tattered armor and planet suits are armor. Supposedly the planet is rich in oil and gases and originally the GAR clone mudjumpers (referenced in the Rookies episode of The Clone Wars) trained the native Minban to help fight off the Separatist Alliance so that the Galactic Republic could control the Oil and Gas refineries. After the Clone Wars, like all other planets, the new Galactic Empire of course now wanted to control the planet but of course the Mimban didn’t want (like all other Rebel cells across the galaxy) and thus started using old Republic weapons against the Galactic Empire which is why Han was deployed on Mimban with the Imperial Army Infantry. 06:31 Stormtroopers are always misrepresented as the one and only class of “Imperial Solder” in the Empire’s arsenal. In reality the Stormtroopers were mainly an “enforcer and guard” unit, that would police already controlled planets in the galaxy, and the Imperial and Sith bases and Star ships, in addition to short term skirmishes and to protect assets like commanding moffs and other Imperial leadership. Imperial Army Infantry such as The Mudtroopers we see here that Han Solo was drafted into, Shore/beach troopers like seen on Scarif, and Morak from Rogue One and The Mandalorian, and snow troopers, were deployed to the actual frontlines, and long term battle campaigns like trench warfare as seen here and the Battle of Hoth. It was during the years of the after math of the Battle of Endor, the downfall of Palpatine and Vader, and the Imperial Remnant/New Republic era when Stormtroopers were combined for all sorts of battles due to lack of numbers in the Imperial Army, and the treaties sign by Vizier Mas Ammeda to the New Republic.

@@devastater97 Additionally, Shoretroopers are classified as a type of Stormtrooper. However, their armor was built for sandy and wet costal regions. Meanwhile, Snowtroopers are also officially known as Cold Weather Assault Stormtroopers. Their armor is an evolution of the Clone Cold Assault Armor which was equipped by Clones in special roles or missions. Such as when Rex used that equipment on Pantora's ice moon. So that part of the other person's post is pretty inaccurate. Stormtroopers, like Clone Troopers before them, were elite assault units. While outside of a battle, both Clones and Stormtroopers assisted local law enforcement. Or even enforced laws themselves if they were a matter of military security or the local law enforcement was inadequate. Meanwhile, the Republic had local planetary armies led by a singular planet within the Republic (such as Naboo's and Pantora's military,) judiciary forces that were led by the senate (which include Senate Commandos,) and local militias to assist the Clone Armies in battle; or even lead the battle themselves if winning wasn't time sensitive. Imperial Army and Navy troopers worked the same way as the Republic's secondary armies and forces. Just on a larger scale. Basically, both Clones and Stormtroopers were very multirole units. While they enforced laws occasionally and often guarded military areas and vehicles, they also spearheaded or assisted attacks/defenses by other units. nb

When you asked why there weren't many stormtroopers in the battle, here's why: stormtroopers weren't your average infantry soldiers, they were more like marines. A smaller group of highly skilled and trained special forces units who were meant to be able to deploy quickly anywhere and then get out. The battle of mimban was a long, drawn out battle (think WW1), and so the majority of soldiers there needed to be expendable and be there for the long haul. If any stormtroopers were there, it was likely as shock troopers to break through enemy lines.

Yeah those regular guys that are not stormtroopers are just regular imperial infantry basically conscripts with less training than the stormtroopers. The stormtroopers are also not technically part of the army they are part of the navy like the Marines that's why they are always found on imperial ships because that was their main job to defend ships and protect high profile stations,camps,projects etc. that's also why we see them a lot because the main characters that we follow in the movies and shows are usually attacking more important targets.

Its AT-DTs not AT-ST confirmed by wookiepedia. Also the standart troopers are special version of imperial army troopers called mudtrooper/swamptrooper (more armor, cape, breath mask). THESE ARE NOT ELITE STROMTROOPERS BUT CASUAL IMPERIAL ARMY. The stormtroopers are special called wet-weather gear stromtrooper again wearing capes and having extra armor on forehead. The troooper with wierd helmet u mentioned has imperial navy trooper helmet. Also they are fighting the Mimbanese Liberation Army (this couldnt even be rebels because the first major battle of galactic civil war was 10years before this and the rebellion was just in the beginnings at this time by 10 BBY), Empire attacked Mimban because it has natural resources and the natives fought against them but they lost at the end but still their army fought really well against the Empire and was very strong. Please try to gather more information and dont tell people wrong information as a creator, thank you.

For his rogue one and solo reactions he should have bought the visual dictionary books for them so every time he sees a ship or trooper he doesn't know he can look it up in the book

They shouldn’t have all been Stormtroopers. The point was that these soldiers are lower level Empire units. They’re more disposable. Han Solo didn’t make it into the Imperial Navy, he didn’t even make it into the Stormtroopers. He made it into the Mudtroopers. He got a really tough break into one of the roughest units of the Empire.

7:13 That helmet is an Imperial navy trooper helmet. A few troopers on Mimban can be seen wearing them, but most of the troopers are wearing slightly modified Imperial army trooper helmets.

Stormtroopers are Imperial Navy. "Mud" Troopers are Imperial Army. The mud Troopers wore caps to help keep the mud off of them.

I think Han speaking wookie in this instance had more to do so with the fact he was discussing his escape plan while surrounded by Imperials...

The guys with the slim helmets are the Imperial Army like the ATST pilots from Episode 6. They are they frontliners of the Empire compared to the Stormtroopers who are Shock Troopers and Elites. And the guy with that weird bowl helmet 7:13 was an Imperial Navy Trooper. You see a lot of them manning the Death Star in Episode 4.

DS Troopers were Naval Troopers that acted as Security in the navy on the Death Star under the command of Battlestation Command. They could be used for the Control computers and terminals but they are Soldiers. 7:47 not plot armor just medicine. Sabine not dying makes total sense. The place where she got stabbed is not crucial for survival and since she got instant medical assistance (maybe even force healing) makes it very realistic. I would rather complain about Reva and how tf she survived without any help. 8:45 Not a K2 but I don't know what it is though 11:20 ofc there is an entire battle. Mimban never sleeps.

There was a deleted longer version of a the battle scene which gives more context to what's happening. I wish they kept it in it really shows how brutal this campaign was

the reason why there aren't more stormtroopers is that they are elite units this is just infantry and there are a lot of robots at-pt

What Happened at Mimban was that the Empire wanted to basically to mine it out for the minerals (somewhat like they were going to do to Lothal). The Natives on the other hand didnt like this. What would usually happen when with something like this is just orbital bombardment of the unruly people, and then a quick deployment of ground troops to clear it up, nothing one or two star destroyers couldn't handle. The problem was Mimban's atmosphere is highly ionized, which would make any aerial support unusable. This is why what tie fighters there are fly so close to the surface. This called for a much larger ground force, hence why most of the troopers there aren't the Empire's elite stormtroopers, but the more common infantry often dubbed as "Mudtroopers". Why everything is muddy is just simple because of continued warfare on the planets surface, grinding down any vegetation that was once there. The main goal of the whole invasion was not to gain any strategic placements, but just to kill as many Mimbanese as people as possible.

We need full Star Wars movie like this. You know dark saving private Ryan like war movie in star wars

This is pretty much what a Warhammer 40k Guardsman movie would look like

I actually really liked how they handled Chewie. I think calling him a beast was less so trying to make Chewbacca a monster, and more so showing how the empire has no tolerance or decency for wookies and non-humanoid aliens. And the way Han doesn’t speak Wookie immediately but sees how it’s not stopping Chewie (probably because everyone speaks basic that was thrown down there) and only gets through to him by speaking his native language, is really cool! Besides, the alternative is Han just pretending to understand what Chewbacca is saying, which makes their relationship seem more like belligerent servitude rather than mutual friendship.

We need more of this kind of war in Star Wars

Based on the environment i imagine the capes are simultaneously there to protect against rain and to camouflage them. I also really like the way the Stormtroopers are represented in this scene, i think one of their lines includes them talking about flanking through enemy lines from a certain point so it really sold the idea of them being well... Stormtroopers.

Those are not AT-ST it a AT-DT

Great content as usual! I think the arrest of Ashoka in The Clone Wars season 5 could be a interesting theme for the next battle in 0.25 speed video.

It’s not a new planet, it’s been in Star Wars since the Splinter of the Minds eye book in the 1970s

Storm Troopers are basically marines, attached with the Imperial Navy, these guys are Imperial army. Conscript’s basically

I always loved how Star Wars had a thing for being inspired or based off real conflicts. for example, Scarif had a Vietnam/Pacific War vibe to it, and Mimban here has this WW1 theme that I absolutely dig.

Mimban isn’t new. We first saw it in 1978 in Splinter of the Minds Eye. (Also, Rogue One has SD’s in atmosphere)

7:16 this guy is probably an imperial navy trooper (who wear the same helmets as the ‘Death Star troopers’) hence why he’s the only one with that helmet type on the ground (which is an odd place for him to be but makes for interesting speculation) We see a couple more later hanging near the TIE pilots so they’re likely there to help coordinate the land/air portions of the battle if I had to guess 8:45 looks to be a model similar to EV-9D9

7:17 That’s an imperial navy trooper.

There was a star destroyer in atmosphere in Rogue One, before Solo was released. This ain't the first time.

Wish we could’ve seen the mudjumpers of the 224th during the clone wars here.

That battle really has that all quiet on the western front feel to it witn han as Paul and Backet as Kat

Technically, Star Wars does have therapists. I'm not sure the Empier did, though. This was the Mimban Campaign. Basically, the Empire did what Empire does and tries to invade Mimban to secure resources and establish an Imperial regime. The local army fought back and made the campaign hell for the enemy.

0:27 i don't think that's the first time (es. Rogue one)

The entire battle of Mimban sequence feels like when a level 3 Cadet in Helldivers thinks that the bots "wont be too bad"

"Star Destroyers in the atmosphere for the first time in Live Action." Uhhhhh Rouge One did it like a solid two years earlier lmfao

Just noticed the Mimbani guys seemed to have rifles just like Kroot from Warhammer. Has that big axe / spike at the end for closing into melee and chopping people up. Also considering the fact most Imperial weapons were based off of Nazi equipment in terms of their general shape? That blaster being a form of blaster carbine that has the MP-40 shape would make sense. That was the aesthetic George Lucas had gone with.

7:13 this is an imperial Navy trooper, we see them fairly consistently through A New Hope, namely guarding Princess Leia’s cell in the detention block

Go find the extended deleted scenes from this battle if you want more of it!

Actually, stormtroopers are actually the Empire’s elite Naval troopers. The troopers on Mimban are Army troopers, grunts and footsoldiers who fought most of the Empire’s battles

This is an incredibly late comment but the reason there werent stormtroopers on Mimban is because this was early enough on in the Empire's history where the majority of Imperial forces were in the Imperial Army and the stormtroopers were what they actually were supposed to be: shock troopers. This was a war that was obviously inspired by world war 1 with high casualties etc and Imperial Army troopers (the guys with the gas masks and stuff) were either conscripts or cheaper to produce soldiers with less agressive training etc. Mimban was also basically a punishment area where imperial soldiers who washed out or were headstrong ended up.

Mimban troopers are called Mud Troopers btw, they were sent to the worst places.

Well... it wasn't ENTIRELY new. The planet I mean. And Star Destroyers were in atmosphere before this movie. ROGUE ONE CAME OUT BEFORE SOLO.

I just realized that the reason Beckett immediately had the soldiers loyalty was because he was realistic and not ranting about glory and stuff.

You can hear someone scream my leg, thats what the leg on the floor was

In Andor season 2, Andor might’ve met Solo and Chewie on Mimban

I love this battle because of its focus on the Empire's traditional military, rather than the stormtroopers which are supposed to be the elite.

2:41 that is actually pretty much what soldiers saw in WW1 in the trenches, which leads me to believe this was semi-based off of WW1, I mean soldiers basically just fired in the general area of the enemy hoping they killed some

in the old lore there was established that human and wookie vocal chords are made diffrently and while they could understand each other's language you couldnt speak it

7:19 deathstar trooper but they just used em because it looks cool.

Imagine a full scale Star Wars war movie in the style of Hacksaw Ridge, 1917, or Dunkirk, from the Empire’s perspective? That would be phenomenal! Also, just a couple sidenotes: most of the walkers shown except the one being lifted by the AT-Hauler, were not at AT-STs, but rather AT-DT (All Terrain Defense Turrets). And the reason why it wasn’t mostly storm troopers was due to the fact that this was a long-term occupation so the Imperial Army was deployed, with a few Stormtroopers to assist. Stormtroopers were typically the initial force, and did not care for long-term deployment. In fact, Stormtroopers were in a complete different chain of command than the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army. Although short, this is also one of my favorite battles in new Cannon, if not all of Star Wars :))

So are we just forgetting that the venators which were classed as Star Destoryers were in the atmosphere during Revenge of the sith

Don’t forget the Acclamator Class. Or in my opinion the more interesting and one that Disney is hell bent on trying to make us forget one, the Victory Class.

@@cpt.s.seiden oh yeah can't forget those greats

Bruh if we ever get a show that’s basically just starwars ww1 or 2 with a squad of imperial army troopers or storm troopers just trying to survive a war…that be fucking awesome.

Wish you watched the extended version instead of the final/retail one, it has a lot more details

I remember i watched this movie alone in the cinema BUT i dont remember this battle look so intense

We need either a live action or animated show focusing solely on ground troops. Like, maybe each one hour episode features a single battle from different times in galactic history? A Mimban-esque cinematography of a Clone Wars battle!

I have a spin off show pitch that’s basically band of brothers but in Star Wars based during the galactic civil war

Mimban had a battle in TCW so they could just do this but with clones the planets people again and droids

1:46 totally expected that to be a segue to a betterhelp ad

Stormtroopers are basically the Greej Beret while the ones in Solo are normal infantry

I think the navy troopers with the big shovel helmets are just logistics guys bringing supplies down from the SDs

Dude you realize chewie was in clone wars and revenge of the Sith 8:44

Another thing about the “imperial infantry” those are ‘Army Troopers’ basically civilians drafted for war, they are the front line for the empire, not stormtroopers, which are stronger, better trained, and more equipped. Army troopers where expendable and easy to produce, that’s who those people are :)
