[QUOTE="Victim, post: 213125, member: 78"] My theory is that, once upon a time, Stormtroopers were bad asses. Then the empire conquers everything. Military budgets are cut. The Empire stops ordering stormtroopers cloned and trained by the weird people in Ep 2. Instead, they involve some defense contractors. Next thing you know, the entire Imperial Army, from the trooper to the armor is built by the lowest bidder. Ouch, that's no good. But they don't need an elite army anymore. Enter the Rebellion. Still using generic stormtroopers. Of course, the Empire spends all its money making Death Stars instead buying quality guys. See movies 4 - 6 for the results. "An entire Legion of my best troops."-Emperor Palpatine An entire legion at Endor? I think not. Instead, the experienced veterans leave for vacations, leaving the green recruits there to defend the shield generator. These inexperienced stormtroopers are unused to combat or Endor, and are thus taken by surprise and nearly wiped out by (whimper) teddy bears. [/QUOTE]
