Poll: Storm troopers or Clone troopers

[KaZZaP]

God I'm gonna nerd out here....
Clone troopers are better because they we're made by real cloners. To make sure they couldnt make a clone army for anyone else the empire stole all those skinny guys technology and killed them all. Downside was they we're crappy cloners and they all came sort of retarded and thats why they all suck so much. They're like inbred hillbillies who can't even see straight let alone shoot straight.

And clones have Yoda for backup okay, gameover.

They... are the same.... army.... -_-

No they aren't; the Clones were higly trained to do there jobs were as the Storm troopers were just rushed in to the Galactic civil war with only basic training.

 

[mokes310]

Stormtroopers, without a DOUBT!

 

[mattttherman3]

You do realize that Clone Troopers and Storm Troopers are the same, well they were at one point but eventually they started getting people who were not clones, so the clones were better.

Both got nothing on Waffen SS (which I think was the inspiration for Storm troopers)

Your seriously going to compare Nazis with conventional rifles and tanks to space faring warriors wearing power armor and posses planet destroying superweapons. Thats what your going with.

A disciplined soldier is a weapon on his own, equipment is just an addition.
And yeah I think a squad of SS troops with their high caliber machine guns, panzerschrecks and granades would win against the same amount of stormtroopers with their terribly inaccurate and slow laser rifles and shitty tactics (I'm judging by their performance in the movies, not some nerdy book that describes how blasters work on 200 pages)

Yes when it comes to sheer fanatisim/genocide scales the Waffen SS beat all comers when their technology is taken into account.
Also you have to admit their all black uniforms were FINE.

Nazi Stormtroopers.

Also clones carry a heavy blaster rifle, whereas storm troopers have a standard blaster.

I mean this is a non-offensive way but, most of you are idiots.

They are NOT the same army. Normal clone troopers used the DC-15 and clone commando's used the DC-17 there is no such thing as a "heavy blaster rifle". ARC troopers got the DC-17 sometimes but generally speaking used Verpine (insects) weapons.

The ONLY clone troopers in service by episode 5 were the 501st, Vader's personal task force.

Clone troopers are superior in EVERY (save the obvious one of having a life span of no more then 30years) way to storm troopers. Storm troopers were just normal men who joined the army, were found to be good, and relegated to the Storm trooper corps.

Think of it like this, normal ppl with not a hell of a lot of talent were made infantry. If you were good, as in run fast, jump high, you were made a storm trooper. Think of them as the SWAT team compared to normal police officers.

My Star Wars knowledge is encyclopedic. I own every book. Yes, I am a giant nerd.

For true fans, this ones for you "Long live THRAWN"

Clone armies stink. One virus engineered specificly for one clone will destroy the entire army.

+1 for the true original storm troopers.

Hmmm...

 

[Madshaw]

Not all the storm troopers are cloned from jengo fett and trained from birth, there is an obvious answer here

 

[Kodlak]

Clone troopers are better as they are the same, and I'm guessing that the storm troopers are not all clones, probably people from controlled planets. Also the clones may have died by then because I think in the Episode II it says that the clones have accelerated growth... I'm probably wrong though (again).

 

[Socius]

the clones owned the stormtrooper, they were intelligent, strong and loyal... until order 66(6)... the stormtroopers were stupid, weak and wussies!

Hmmm...

That's not true.... THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!

 

[Littaly]

Which one of the Armies is better

Nerd sense tingling!

The Stormtroopers were technically not an army in the same way as they were during the clone wars. Also if you should go by what you see in the movies the stormtroopers couldn't hit an elephant from three meters away. But the bad Stormtroopers aim was only added for effect, they are actually the same.

 

[y8c616]

While in fact being the same army, the stormtroopers are a chronologically later, more advanced force. Therefore i think stormtroopers are superior.

The Clone Troopers were all the same, but the Stormtroopers weren't, despite being clones. In between Epsiodes 3 and 4, there was a rebellion on Kamino when the Kaminoans sympathised with the fledgling Rebel Alliance and started using the DNA of Jango Fett (kept on record) to create new clones to help the Rebels. The rebellion was put down and the Empire took control of the cloning chambers, and so the 501st Legion (Vader's own personal guard, Vader's Fist) were the only Stormtroopers left who were pure Jango Fett clones. Every other legion was forced to integrate with new clones taken from a variety of sources, usually high-ranking officers in the Imperial Navy. Personally I think this made the Stormtroopers more diverse, but weaker as well as they no longer were able to fight with the same troop cohesion and comfort as they did when they were all from one source. Obviously Vader's Fist were still as good as ever though, but the new guys weren't battle hardened like the Clone Troopers were. Therefore I think the Clone Troopers were better.

The Empire still produced clones, in fact, nearly half of the stormtroopers in service were clones. But, all clones in high ranks were demoted. Clones could not climb very far in rank. They were basically cannon fodder, peons. I think that's what made the Imperial Army weaker. It was a mix of clones and people and all of the clones were demoted from high ranks. If you look at The Clone Army of the Republic, every soldier, officer, and captain in the military was a clone, except for the Jedi, which had direct control over the clone army. But really, none of that stuff really matters.

But really, the reason the Imperial Army was weaker was because George Lucas HAD to make them weak bastards with horrible aim or else the heroes would've gotten their asses handed to them. Had the Empire been the lethally efficient machine that we read about in the books, it would have won in the movies.

So I'll go with the Clone Army.

That's what I'm saying, except that it wasn't nearly half. EVERY STORMTROOPER WAS A CLONE. It's just that they were cloned from different sources of DNA, not just Jango Fett (with the exception of Vader's Fist, his personal bodyguard). The events leading to this are detailed in the game SW Battlefront 2, which is recognised as canon in the Star Wars Extended Universe.
