The casual newcomer may mean well identifying the baddies under the blanket term of “stormtrooper”, but they’re unknowingly committing one of the biggest Star Wars faux pas possible. We’ve got your classic stormtroopers, fine, but we also have clone troopers in the prequel trilogy, First Order stormtroopers in the sequel trilogy, and variants of each including scout troopers, snowtroopers, shadow troopers, Sith troopers– the list goes on! Star Wars troopers are as multifarious and varied as the rest of us. You’ll be right most of the time, but sometimes that’s just dead wrong.
Anyone walking by the screen while watching just about any of the films will easily pick out the guy in white, or mostly white, armor and the iconic stormtrooper helmet and quickly say, “Oh yeah, that’s a bad guy.” Star Wars makes it really easy to figure out who the bad guys are.
