...an entire legion of the Emperor's best troops can get beaten up by a rabble of teddy bears with sticks and stones.

Also what use is stormtrooper armour if it doesn't stop laser blasts or Ewok sticks?

1. That's the one thing they never trained for.

2. Chicks dig uniforms.

I think you underestimate the Ewok's fierceness and skill at being a hunter.

Watch this fanfilm (http://www.theforce.net/theater/shortfilms/invisible/) to witness the horror and terrible power that is the Ewok! :ewok:

Hey, stormies weren't trained for that. And Ewok's cutness is a disguise for their vicoiusness...

*** Oh, armor stops bullets and glancing laser blasts that most Rebels do, since they weren't trained for combat...

Right you are Rhett.

Hmm, I dont have anything to add here.

Well, if the ewoks didnt defeat the stormtroopers then they would have an eaven worse reputation than they already have!!

Ewoks beat up stormies with sticks, Yoda beats up R2 with a stick, coincidence? I'm beginning to think Yoda is an Ewok in disguise. Wickets brother perhaps.

Certainly would explain a lot...

You know, I've always wondered why Yoda has hair coming out of his ears...maybe that's Ewok hair coming out of his mask's earholes...


...I see a conspiracy...

:D

The stormies were overconfident. They see a bunch of little teddy bear people and just go "heh, you've got to be joking" :D

Any of you that know anything about the Navy, is that they wear whites as "show" uniforms, not to be worn in combat. I would assume it is the same for the Stormtroopers in the Imperial Navy. They are not "real" uniforms, they are just for show, after all who would really take on the Empire, they have had it easy for 20 or more years.

I think there is something in the stormtrooper uniform that makes any enemy lasers be attracted to them, and for the stormies to miss from point blank range....

But Storm Troopers are part of the army not navy. The reason they have trouble with accuracy is the helmets they wear. Plus they are fighting agaisnt elite Rebel commandos and seasoned smugglers. The Ewoks would get in close and dog pile the troopers rendering them helpless. But Storm Troopers are not cannon fodder. We all saw them handle a whole ship full of Rebel soldiers and officers in Ep4 and only loose 3 of their own.

I think that there are stormies both in the army and navy, correct me if I'm wrong guys.

I always thought that stormtroopers were like marines, they could either be on a ship or on the ground. Aren't they supposed to be elite too?

Yeah. They were until the start of the Rebellion and can't predict wild native ewoks...

Not all Storm Troopers are elite. Theyve got a regular infantry just like everyone else. Troopers on ships and stations who are security are not elite. They dont need to be. Most of the time they just stand around. Troopers who go on secret missions like tracking droids with top secret plans on Tatooine or guarding a secret bunker to a Death Star shield generator on Endor are elite. But so are the Rebel commandos along with legions of angry Ewoks. :)

It is known as the Imperial Navy, since they are linked with the Star Destroyers.... For want of a better term, they are technically marines...

Nevertheless, it would have sucked if the imps won the battle.

StormTroopers are not exactly marines. Some are trained for space battles, some for desert, some for snowy places.
So they aren't both on ships and ground. It's like saying every soldier who's ever been on a ship to be transported to a certain location, a marine.

Well i dont blame them because its of thier helmets they wear, Have you ever worn a stormie helmet? you can barely see anything like luke said in ANH ''I can barely see anything'' when he had that stormtrooper helmet on and i have my own stormtrooper armor too and i know how it feels

your own Stormy armour? :p bleah... *walks out*

I'm so sorry TK-99, but now I picture you as the bearded dude that removes his helmet in this nerds video (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/video/tv/nerds.html)!) lmfao :lol: ...

I see Lexx feels the same way as me

Im no nerd but i know some nerds i meet at some starwars convention centers that have and i just got my armor for my b-day from my aunt and i never really wanted to get it

how accurate is that armor TK-99, and do you know how much she paid for it?

Pretty well done and the only thing thats missing from it is the comlink in the helmet, and i dont really know how much she paid for it sorry

thanks.:)

Dark jedi are you thinking of getting stormtrooper armor?

possibly.:)

well if you are its gonna be hard to find it, in real life of course but on the internet you can find al sorts of stuff

a lot of them at ebay are going for about $1,000. i talked to a guy with the 501st about it but he said if you buy them from someone, then you will pay around $800+.

:eek: WOW thats some armor lol:eek: stormcrap armor (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2916480471&category=19255)

im just joking,Now that armor is so doll and stupid, o my god who would buy that well maybe something like this armor (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3315480277&category=790) they would buy

No I feel ashamed to be human when I'm surrounded by too many geeks...

True but...there is alot of interesting stuff there

I wanted to goto Celebration2 but I had school. Maybe I'll goto Celebration 3 for Ep 3. I'll be in College.

sorry pal, but the people who DO NOT want stormtrooper armour are the new geeks.

starwars rocks, you should have gone to the SW exhibition at the sydney power house, it was fantastic ! not really a convention but pretty good.

Thousands, maybe millions of people go to Star Wars conventions all over the world. Sure must be a lot of geeks:rolleyes:...

Though Lynk, last time I checked, this was a Star Wars forum, so there is likely to be people on here who attend stuff like that. And why should they be put down for something they enjoy?

*shrugs*

Ewoks and Yoda are one of the best creatures that were ever made on starwars. Just because there little doesn't mean that they can't open up a can of whoop lol.

I agree completely that the storm troopers just weren't trained against such primitive combat. All they have is a gun, and can't even shoot straight o.O

I could never work out why the stormtroopers wore that armour though. I mean if the armour doesn't block blaster bolts, and they can't even see or move in the stuff, then wouldn't they be better off not wearing it?

i thought they wore the armor to strike fear into their enemies.
besides, it worked for the clone troopers!:)

no its just that thats the empires footman wear that uniform

Well, that still doesn't explain why they couldn't have all worn matching uniforms...would've made it a lot easier for them I think;)

but its like this: Commanders wear thier commander unforms and footmens wear thier stormtrooper uniforms and probably they get used to the helmets when there trying to see

all officers wear uniforms when not in combat to. there the guys on the death star with black unis.

your talking about the Navy troopers

i thought that the empire only had a navy and a form of special ops. troops posted on planets are just detachment crews from the navy, right? that's what i thought.

what do you mean special ops?
