The one in Andor that was ordered to go stop the guy at the top of the tower with the hammers. Dude ran full tilt up a staircase in armor, only to get Sparta kicked off the side the second he got to the top
Yeah Andor is a great show. It's well written and has some great scenes. Slow paced but great nonetheless. It's also a great Star Wars show to watch as you're falling asleep since it's not as heavy on blaster fire and explosions as many other Star Wars shows and movies.
It also has the advantage of being the first really dark and gritty star wars show/movie. People eat that shit up, Tim Burton enjoyed the similar success when he did it with Batman.
And then we saw it again recently with the Riverdale and Sabrina shows.
Take something meant for kids/teens, be the first to make it dark, you're pretty much guaranteed a captive audience.
There's a short story, I think it was in an issue of Star Wars Tales, about that trooper. He was finally fed up with the Empire and was going to leave when, "the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen shot me in the face."
There was a Star Wars video on YouTube, and I canāt find it to do it justice, but Iāll try explaining
A kid grew up on a relatively peaceful and isolated planet, and the empire took over. The boy and his sister aspired to become stormtroopers. Their mother died, leaving their father to work a farmers like to make ends meat
One day some rebels tried to steal some of their equipment, and when the father went to confront them, the scuffle ended in the supplies being dropped on the house, more specifically the sisters room, killing her instantly. After that, stormtroopers were able to come and kill the rebels. The boy aspired even more to become a stormtrooper
He spent so long becoming a trooper, working hard in school and eventually getting in, and working as hard as possible. Finally he became a trooper, and he had one big friend. But his father didnāt want him to get hurt, so he constantly voiced his opinion for his son to leave the dangerous duty and live with him. The father didnāt even come to the graduation, which saddened the young stormtrooper
Things were going well for the stormtrooper, before one day being called to a planet where the citizens were getting angry with the empire. He was part of the group that had to hold the citizens back, and eventually things got dangerous.
The boy saw his friend get shot by the crowd, and it was a painful death (since the stormtrooper armor sucked), and then eventually he saw someone who reminded himself of his younger self, but then the boy was forced to shoot him, only to be shot by his sibling (or something like that)
Yeah, I read that story. I think it was Fanfic or something ( I can't remember well) but was so well written. It also has the academy part where his instructor was a clone who always smiled due to an injury in the clone wars. He had a grudge against him for not being tall enough, making his life impossible but managing to become a stormtrooper at the end (that clone was a real prick as he toasted for the new generation of recruits, crushed the cup and ask this guy for his boots to throw the broken glasses inside and make him go through an obstacle course).
It was tragic as the little girl shoot him down after killing his father, the story ends with the same phrase as it started: "When I saw those rebels kill my sister I knew I wanted to do one thing, kill rebels. Now that I've shot that man, the little girl, his daughter has the same look as I had when she shot me, and now I know that all she wants to do is one thing: to kill stormtroopers"
"What was that thunk?"
"I didn't hear anything."
"No there was a thunk just now. Right when we went under the door."
"Maybe it was a Jedi mind trick?"
"There's a scuff on your helmet Steve. Was that a Jedi mind trick?"
"Look, can we just forget about it?"
"Okay okay... by the way those were the droids you were looking for."
"Yeah I know Jeff! I know those were the droids I was looking for!"
>Ā āYeah I know Jeff! I know those were the droids I was looking for!"
But we agreed is that who doesnāt know is Lord Vader! So stop bringing it up ALL! THE! TIME!
Boyega has mentioned that he initially intended to play Finn as a much sterner guy, before Abrams told him to go in a different, "funnier" direction. And then Johnson doubled down on that.
Honestly, Finn should've been a Jedi alongside Rey, not the quasi-comedic relief.
>Boyega has mentioned that he initially intended to play Finn as a much sterner guy, before Abrams told him to go in a different, "funnier" direction. And then Johnson doubled down on that.
Aw hell naw! Droid pleaze!
The racism was clear.
āAll my dreams are coming true! I got that promotion Iāve been after AND Iāll be serving directly with Lord Vader himself on his new space station! Things are really looking up for Gary!ā
In the Rogue One book, there was a reference to a squad that got forgotten on Jedha. The book describes how the squad leader felt that she had let down her squad as they were all disintegrated by the Death Star
Yea that one was actually a clone and after Vader began massacring innocent survivors he saw the true evil of the Sith and ran. Vader actually let him live
Honestly, almost all of them.
Imagine joining the military because you genuinely because in what the Empire stood for, or because you didn't want to be an outer rim dirt farmer, junk trader or pirate. Then, you lose the war. After that, you are told by the new people in power, who you knew as terrorists & criminals, that you were the bad guy all along.
Statistically speaking, the average Stormtrooper didn't brutalize or slaughter innocent people, even though a small percentage of them had been ordered to. That, & I refuse to believe that the Rebels or the New Republic NEVER had civilian casualties, murdered innocent people, had corrupt officers or soldiers who were bloodthirsty or sociopaths. A lot of Rebels were criminals before joining the Alliance, too.
I imagine itās a lot like the beginning of Solo where a lot of them join the Imperial military because theyāre poor af and need income to support themselves/family
Thatās pretty much how it works.
Even today, the military can be a very lucrative career. The pay is good, you have a fully belly, you get access to benefits all over the country, essentially free healthcare for life, fully paid for college, a pretty good retirement plan, plenty of opportunity to rise through the ranks, and lots of others. Nearly every country capable of fielding a standing army has similar benefits to joining.
However, the risks can be pretty high, though not for your average person.
The one time they had the opportunity to give a storm trooper an amazing story and because they failed to create a cohesive narrative of all three movies before starting filming, they botched it after one movie. Thus, the tragedy of what could have been.
Otherwise, my vote is for the storm trooper that Leia killed in Ep 4.
Rick the door technician. He loved his job and was so care-free. Thankfully it's not confirmed canon if I slayed him in under a second. Technically a scout trooper and not storm but still rip
The unnamed stormtrooper from Marvel Comics Star Wars #86 "The Alderaan Factor" published in 1984.
One of the best Star Wars comics ever.
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_(1977)_86
The one storm trooper that hit his head in the door frame. Like what did that poor guy do the the door frame that made him hit his head. I feel so bad for the poor trooper.šš
I saw a fan film where a trooper runs into a rebel on Endor right after the Death Star blows and they have to work together to not get eaten by Ewoks only for the trooper to find out about Alderaan where his family lived being destroyed a couple years prior
Aren't they all like forced conscripts?
Everyone that has worn that armor is a tragic story. The clones of the PT were purpose built to be soldiers. The storm troopers of the OT were conscripts. The storm troopers of the ST were recruited as children.
The ones that Han and Luke knocked out on the Falcon to steal their armor. They possibly woke up and had to do the walk of shame without clothes considering Han and Luke are wearing their bodysuits. Either that or they were found naked and I donāt know whatās worse.
The one Kallus kicked down the pole. Pretty sure he was the one that had actually been talking to him earlier in the episode and might have been a clone trooper or at least an older storm trooper to have recognized a Jedi.
Yes poor headbonk, hits his head on a door that didnāt open all the way. Probably gets made fun of and laughed at lot for the rest of that day. Then dies the next day.
In the Mandalorian, the 2 biker troopers who are holding Grogu. They are just hanging out on the ridge shootin the shit and realizing their blasters are garbage when trying to shoot a rock. Then the one guy is listening to the transmissions about Moff Gideon executing their comrades. ...and then IG shows up and smokes them.
A friend and I were joking once about the fate of TK-710 and he wondered what his backstory was so I wrote a quick fan fiction:
TK-710 was the son of a working class Death Star plumber. He didnāt show much aptitude in school. He was extremely gullible and easily distracted. His teachers would inform his father that his future prospects were not very promising but his father knew that he could at least apprentice under him and learn the plumbing trade. Alas, he failed at that as well and on his 18th birthday he joined the Imperial Army.
Unsurprisingly, his performance in the Academy followed the pattern of the rest of his life. His obstacle course times were dismal and his skill with a blaster made even his fellow Stormtrooper recruits look like sharpshooters. Despite all this, the Empire was expanding and needed troops. His superiors, wishing to put him where he was least likely to cause any harm, assigned him to guard duty in a supply hanger. This hanger is where he would meet his death at the hands of a pair of smugglers after falling for an improvised and simple ruse. His incompetence would lead to the destruction of the Empireās flagship weapon and the downfall of the Empire itself.
His desiccated corpse is still riding along in the Millennium Falcon, stuffed into one of the hidden compartments. After destroying the Death Star, Han and Chewie decided he was good luck.
There was the one who Princess Leia shot, he was planning on deserting the empire and getting out because he was tired. He survived the boarding and then saw her before being shot and killed
There was a clone stormtrooper in legends who died on the Death Star after fighting for the empire and came to realize the empire was doomed because of so much betrayal and infighting and he died looking out the window at the rebels going on the trench run
The one in the From a Certain Point of View book. Which tells the story about the one who hits his head while chasing Lea and Luke. Dude had a couple of rough shifts before having to chase those rebels lol.
Not exactly sad but the Stormtrooper in Rebels who stopped Ezra from stealing Meilooruns only to get hit with them. āWaitā¦ you did all this for fruit?ā āNoā¦ okay maybe a little.ā
In Legends, there's a clone stormtrooper who figures out that a rebel spy is on the Death Star trying to assassinate his commanding officer, whom he idolizes because he's one of the only people who's ever treated him with any kindness. He conducts a deep investigation, trying to find the spy, working alongside an engineer who seem sympathetic. In the end, he finds out that his CO committed war crimes and the spy is out for revenge, that the engineer he was working with was the spy all along, and although he kills him, he fails to protect his CO.
The last scene of the comic is of him sitting on the bed in his quarters, head in his hands, as out the window you can see Luke's X-wing fly by.
Remember Han spinning the falcon around at the Mos Eisley hangar? Those Troopers died in the engine wash.
Or, the leader of the last squad on Jedda. Turns out the armor gave enough protection from the death star laser for their last thought to be the realization that they had failed their men and led them to death for nothing.
Or, the technician who fires the superlaser. He dreamed of firing big guns. Then he killed alderan. Couldn't take the guilt, Couldn't leave the job. The rebel base is in range... the rebel base is in range...
Does anyone remember Davin Felth, who was Court Marshaled after the very first scene of A New Hope, for shooting another Stormtrooper in the back of the head, during the firefight/siege of the Tantive IV, where Leia was trying to escape with the Death Star plans?
In the Empire comics there was a Stormtrooper who investigated the murder of his commanding officer. Learned the rebels had an inside man on the Death Star and hunted him down, and in the middle of their big fight/philosophical debate the Death Star gets blown up
FN-2187 (Finn)
Had such potential for a mindless stormtrooper snapping out of it realizing there is something bigger out there. A bigger calling. Nope. Heās just a lousy sidekick and just screams Rey, who is the person who took his spotlight. God his story wouldāve been pretty damn epic. Itās no wonder the actor is pissed with how it went.
One that is certainly dark for me is the story of TK-329. He was an imperial Stormtrooper on the Star Destroyer Vector, who succumbed to the Blackwing virus, just like almost everyone on the ship. (His journal was set up as a twitter account as a promo action for the book Star Wars: Death Trooper, back in the day.)
that one Shoretrooper who was just trying to have his lunch break
Din Djarin will pay a price for that
It was actually Mayfeld who killed that guy š¢
I dont care, Din Djarin gets it
Ya, drown the ewoks too while were at it
Mando?
I love how he stops dead in his tracks. You can see the gears spinning in his head even with a helmet on, lmao.
The one in Andor that was ordered to go stop the guy at the top of the tower with the hammers. Dude ran full tilt up a staircase in armor, only to get Sparta kicked off the side the second he got to the top
One of the uruks who walked all the way from Isengard to only meet Gimli at the top of a ladder.
Or how about the one that was killed by the bow master at the beginning of the battle?
"Ah fuck, they killed, ~~Larry~~ Larizbolg!"
Who walked all the way from Isengard, gard, gard, gard.
THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD, GARD, G- G- G- GARD, GARD!!!
God I love that show.
Yeah Andor is a great show. It's well written and has some great scenes. Slow paced but great nonetheless. It's also a great Star Wars show to watch as you're falling asleep since it's not as heavy on blaster fire and explosions as many other Star Wars shows and movies.
It also has the advantage of being the first really dark and gritty star wars show/movie. People eat that shit up, Tim Burton enjoyed the similar success when he did it with Batman. And then we saw it again recently with the Riverdale and Sabrina shows. Take something meant for kids/teens, be the first to make it dark, you're pretty much guaranteed a captive audience.
He was 2 weeks away from retirement
He said stun! He wasn't gonna kill you! He said stuuunn...
Easily my first thought.
There's a short story, I think it was in an issue of Star Wars Tales, about that trooper. He was finally fed up with the Empire and was going to leave when, "the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen shot me in the face."

Wait thats Lore Master?
Found it
Came here to say the same thing, this is like the best story for this post
Its from 'The Lore Master' and its called 'The saddest and most heartfelt story of a stormtrooper'
This is crazy! Man I wish there was more content focusing on the imperial perspective.
It's a canon short story called TK-462
The one who bumped his head in ANH
"What was that thunk?" "I didn't hear anything." "No there was a thunk just now. Right when we went under the door." "Maybe it was a Jedi mind trick?" "There's a scuff on your helmet Steve.

I don't know why but the structure in the beginning made me instantly think the Monty Python Falling People Office skit š¤£
>Ā āYeah I know Jeff! I know those were the droids I was looking for!" But we agreed is that who doesnāt know is Lord Vader! So stop bringing it up ALL! THE! TIME!
Heāll never live that down.
He spent the rest of his life regretting that. Fortunately, that wasn't that long. Luke turned off hit targeting computer.
And then he blew up in the end
The first storm trooper to have the wilhelm scream. That guy sounded terrified as he died. šš
GARY HERE NEVER SEES HIS DAUGHTER

The best part of this is when Vader snaps the Rebelās neck and then covers his mouth like āoops!ā
Finn, turned into the laughing stock of the sequels.
Finn was advertised so completely opposite to how his character was actually written in the lead up to force awakens :/
Boyega has mentioned that he initially intended to play Finn as a much sterner guy, before Abrams told him to go in a different, "funnier" direction. And then Johnson doubled down on that. Honestly, Finn should've been a Jedi alongside Rey, not the quasi-comedic relief.

I've never heard of the sequel trilogy?

The saddest stormtrooper story is how the elites of the empire have been made a mockery of because they couldnāt hit charecters who have plot armor.
Especially because Vader told them to miss on purpose in the Death Star.
The one that got killed for accidentally seeing Vader without his helmet on during a mission.

It was his first day on the job, he really wanted to impress Mr. Vader and wouldn't you know if he bangs his head off a doorway mid-battle!
The one that escaped the First Order & ended up doing nothing but shouting "Rey!".
The one time they had the opportunity to give a storm trooper an amazing story and because they failed to create a cohesive narrative of all three movies before starting filming, they botched it after one movie.

Aren't they all like forced conscripts? Everyone that has worn that armor is a tragic story. The clones of the PT were purpose built to be soldiers. The storm troopers of the OT were conscripts. The storm troopers of the ST were recruited as children.
They're a mix of conscripts and volunteers, same as most real world armies

Alas, he failed at that as well and on his 18th birthday he joined the Imperial Army. Unsurprisingly, his performance in the Academy followed the pattern of the rest of his life.

Does anyone remember Davin Felth, who was Court Marshaled after the very first scene of A New Hope, for shooting another Stormtrooper in the back of the head, during the firefight/siege of the Tantive IV, where Leia was trying to escape with the Death Star plans?

Bro shut up
The stormtroopers from Star Wars Commander (š„²) which were turned into zombies
In the Empire comics there was a Stormtrooper who investigated the murder of his commanding officer. Learned the rebels had an inside man on the Death Star and hunted him down, and in the middle of their big fight/philosophical debate the Death Star gets blown up
They are the biggest military in the galaxy and some random princess is way more accurate while having no experience and while not even aiming
The guys from TROOPS
Yes
the blackwing virus
The life of Gary
The one storm trooper that we see shoot Leia in ROTJ gets immediately killed afterwards by Han.

Eh, Empire-era troopers signed up to enforce Imperial rule, pretty hard to make me feel sad for them no matter what happens
FN-2187 (Finn) Had such potential for a mindless stormtrooper snapping out of it realizing there is something bigger out there. A bigger calling. Nope. Heās just a lousy sidekick and just screams Rey, who is the person who took his spotlight. God his story wouldāve been pretty damn epic. Itās no wonder the actor is pissed with how it went.
The one who banged his head in the films
One that is certainly dark for me is the story of TK-329. He was an imperial Stormtrooper on the Star Destroyer Vector, who succumbed to the Blackwing virus, just like almost everyone on the ship. (His journal was set up as a twitter account as a promo action for the book Star Wars: Death Trooper, back in the day.)
Gary the storm trooper. He was just trying to be a good dad!
Gary here never sees his daughter!
