Many of the retired 501st essentially became stormtrooper drill-instructors and taught them combat techniques and whatnot. Scorch from Republic Commando became one. Also, with many of the 501st, they ended up being one of the first phases of Darktroopers to parallel Vader and all his cybernetics. The experiments were horrific though, and Vader ended up discontinuing the program. In 'The Mandalorian', they revealed that Moff Gideon ended up restarting the Darktrooper Program and made Phase 2 Darktroopers which are primarily droids without the organics involved. The reason why 501st were prioritized for Darktroopers was their inhibitor chip allowing them to more easily sync-up with the Darktrooper cybernetics. Fun little bit of nightmare fuel when you realize that's where the problem began- the extremely-painful and traumatic cybernetic rejections scared the mainly-cybernetic Vader to the degree that he as a _Sith Lord_ was like, "naw bro, this is a bit extreme and inhumane- even for me." Edit: If I remember right, they put Commander Cody through the Darktrooper Program.

The effect was so well done for its time that it became ubiquitous in sci-fi explosions
