    “And these blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.” He said, looking at a sand crawler with random scortch marks all over the hull that still looks fairly intact.

      The first bit of the campaign in EA’s SW Battlefront II was great largely for NOT doing this. Stormtroopers were depicted as well trained and professional, and it was pretty great until the light side arch started to kick in.

      I’d LOVE a SW TV series that focuses on a squad of stormtroopers. Pull inspiration from shit like MASH, Saving Private To Ryan, Jarhead, etc, and you’d have a pretty good cocktail of serious/intense/a dash of humor. Humanize then - make us set their indoctrination, and even root for them against the rebel ‘terrorists’.

          Never even heard of it, but just did a search. I tried one of the other animated SW series a while ago, and didn’t make it very far.

          If this one even semi-matches the description of my last post, then fuck yeah, I’ll give it a shot!

            The main characters were introduced in season 7 of the animated Clone Wars series, and their “spinoff” has 3 seasons on Disney+.

            Its definitely top tier & worth your time.

            It is hard to get into the animated series because they start off pretty kid-oriented, but I promise you they get good and are worth sticking with.

            Bad Batch largely doesn’t have that problem because it’s mostly an extension of The Clone Wars.
