@@NguyenReactions They are nothing compared to republic commandos. Republic commandos are in their own seperate squads. I would say they are comparable to maybe some type of nerfed arc trooper. But republic commandos had better training, better armor, better weapons, and better combat. If they went up against delta squad or the bad batch they would be doomed, even if it was the rogue one version of the death troopers.
You know what pissed me off about was how Disney totally nerfed them. Death Troopers were supposed to be the elite, and they straight up made them like weak regular Stormtroopers.
So did with the stormtroopers, but nobody talks about that it seems... In RO the death troopers decimated the rebels until "force force, bullshit plot armor excuse" and the missed every shot... i am... starting to hate star wars...

@@GenZratatouille Jedi I understand, if he was dodging bullets. An experienced rebel doesn't make sense unless she was using cover or something. She was in the open. The death troopers were just missing every shot for some reason.
Honestly I’m fine with them not speaking in garbled voices, considering most of their lines aren’t towards other Death Troopers, so it makes sense that they would disable the encryption. The fact that they can go down in a single hit is stupid though
Going down in 1 hit makes sense, as the Death Troopers only area that they are barely improve by is their armors defensive combat functionality. They do have added bits of armor, but the way Storm Trooper style armor works it does little to support them in taking a hit, considering their armor operates the same. - The armor spreads the pain of the shot, this will remove the trooper from the fight, but massively increases survival, and gets them back into the field by the next week. The real injustice is how lacking their active combat abilities were, as they were displayed as barely any more competent than storms. All we really see in rebels is their greater strategic choices of using cover and barebone communicative tactics, rather than being clearly the elites they are. The bad aim and inability to see through smoke is horrendous. Death troopers should have been used to add suspense, which could have helped pressure the characters to better drive the struggle they go through: a result of the troopers improved combative abilities and gear.
@@bigpapan.g3245 I agree with your second point. Death Troopers were used completely wrong. However, while their armor itself wasn’t really stronger compared to standard stormtrooper armor, it had built in electromagnet shields. These aren’t as good as the shields on something like Katarn-class armor, because their main use it scrambling electronic frequencies, but it did still reduce the power of most blaster bolts to the point pistols were practically useless. Look at the finally battle in Rouge One, for example. Baze unloads a burst into a DT at one point with his blaster (which, as a reminder, needs a battery backpack because it outputs so much energy), and it takes a good half dozen shots before he goes down. If an overcharged MG takes that long, I doubt Kanan’s hand blaster could take them down in one shot.
@@ClonedGamer001 Rogue One does a better job at giving the Death Troopers justice to their elite status. Considering how Rebel's has ignored many of their more advanced aspects, going as far as to limiting them to be blinded by smokescreens. We are then left with 4 routes of possible outcomes to explain why. 1- The blasters that did defeat the Death Trooper's were powerful enough to bypass their defenses. 2- Rebel's takes place at an early phase of Death Troopers, a time where their further improved armor systems had yet to be employed. Rebel's displays give additional reasons to prove why they would be improved in later years during the Empires reign: adding defense, vision, and more. 3- The weapons used against the DT in Rogue One were weak enough for the DT to fight through. Which is possible, as the rebel forces did struggle to obtain viable weaponry, and we have more consistent displays of Death Trooper's troubling with more capable blasters: as seen in both Rebel's and The Mandalorian. 4- Inconsistent and/or Bad Writing
@@bigpapan.g3245 My take on each of your four points 1- I mean, obviously you have to break the shield before you actually hit what’s behind it. My point is that the blaster used by Baze in Rouge One (an MWC-35 repeating cannon) was designed to be mounted in place as an _anti-vehicle cannon,_ and still took several shots to take down one Death Trooper. The MWC-35 supposedly had the power of five blaster rifles per shot, for reference. 2- Both Rebels and Rouge One take place in 0 BBY, so unless the equipment upgrade was developed impossibly quick, that’s out 3- While it is true that the equipment used by the Rebels varied from stolen imperial equipment to kit-bashed weapons that barely functioned, Baze’s blaster was purpose built, and once again, was intended to take down light vehicles. If one of those needed several shots to take down a Death Trooper, I really doubt one shot from Kanan’s blaster (a DL-18) or a deflected shot from one of the DT’s own weapons (a E-11D carbine) would break through 4- The correct option. Lazy writing is the only reason, full stop.

1:30 remember how the whole point of that thing on the side of the death troopers helmet is to allow them to see through smoke and shit? Disney? Anyone?
Apparently according to Pablo he said that Sabine’s Smoke Grenades are specialised, hence why the Death Troopers aren’t able to see properly. But seriously though, they should at least show it instead of just explain it behind the scenes.
One thing that always makes me laugh is that, we’re supposed to support the rebellion and hate the empire, yet we never see the “good guys” not automatically shoot or leave imperials aboard ships about to blow. Like, why not take some prisoners of war, maybe show the imperials that your not just savages who want to topple the government. Idk, just seems funny to me
In my opinion the Empire were the good guys. I have plenty of reasons but a big one is that they actually cared about establishing order and actually having a presence on just about all of the empires worlds and crime and corruption isn't nearly as bad during the Republic Era. Also the Republic that the rebels make is pretty much just the same as before with barely no presence on other Republic worlds other than the core worlds. Also the new republic is so incompetent even moreso than the Empire with the new republic allowing and barely doing anything about the reveal of a Empire remnant military junta just emerging to conquer and destroy the new republic not to mention desolving roughly 90% of their military.
@@adamisacomedian6344 huh???????? What???? The empire condoned slavery, made life hell if you weren’t a rich human, and the reason they cared about “order” is because Turns out being insane oppressors causes a shit ton of rebellions. What sort of awful comment is this?
Disney has to ruin everything right? if you're gonna make Death troopers lose cause they're fighting the good guys, atleast make the good guys struggle so you can give the Death troopers some proper respect
@@darkwolf4434 tf? no he's the only one keeping this franchise relevant. He made the clone wars great and the bad batch amazing. the only reason rebels was tolerable was his influence. Rebels is as shit as it is because disney censored it hard af
Theory: The death troopers on board the cargo transport are just regular storm troopers with normal equipment painted black. The kyber crystal onboard was meant to lure rebel Jedi and the guards had to look important as to not appear suspicious. It would not make sense for regular storm troopers to be guarding a kyber crystal. Thrawn probably planned the mission after finding out about about Kanan knowing exactly where kyber crystals were stored amongst 3 ships in season 1. The size of the crystal ensures that transporting it would be somewhat difficult or dangerous and the prisoners were on the ship to ensure that the rebels did not try to destroy the unstable crystal. What Thrawn did not expect was for Saw to be there to accept civilian casualties. This theory is dumb, but I’m doing the best I can to make sense of things.
The helmet thing was probably a joke they left in, but the only reason they never hit the main cast is because of plot armor, and the storm troopers let them escape the Death Star so they would lead the empire to the rebel base
I'm suprised they didn't blame Kathleen Kennedy. All the good episodes and scenes: God bless Filoni. All the bad Episodes and scenes: Kathleen Kenmedy ruined Star Wars.
This is just the worst....their entire distinct sound is because of encrypted channels to talk to each other. Secondly these are the best the Empire has to offer yet they're no better than Stormtroopers here, and lastly their visors have the ability to see through an impairment like smoke, that's kind of the whole point of them....I can't believe how bad they butchered these guys.
Considering none of the characters knew what they were saying it’s safe to say that is audience perspective, they did have scrambled voices to the characters just not to us so we understand them, like in movies when aliens aren’t speaking English but to us viewers they do so we understand them, I believe halo did that with elites at some point, as for power level they only really get seen fighting Jedi and the likes of saw Guerrera who’s fought them constantly, like look how weak mandos look in TCW but that’s only cause they’re seen fighting each other and the best of the best clones, and in s3 finale until bendu showed up the empire won
Also at 2:45 look how clear the voice through the com link on the receivers end is, she sounds completely different because on the death troopers side it’s scrambled still but the comlink unscrambles it for the officer
Would it have been cool if death troopers were kept mysterious by having them always speak in garbled noises? Maybe, but it would’ve been annoying having to decipher conversations between an officer and a DT. It would be like watching Luke talk to R2, just hearing him go “hm, good point” and being left to infer what the droid said to him. I guess it could’ve been a fun challenge for the writers but I think they decided it would’ve limited them somehow.
1:30 I thought Death troopers had the ability to see through smoke, these rebels would have never defeated them that easy. Disney has to nerf them soo much because it’s a kids show. Bruh
20 or so rounds at stationary targets between 3 elite death troopers at about 20 meters with the element of suprise and the high ground and they all miss. Hera grabs a blaster, does a 180 while landing on her back and one shots them with 100% accuracy. I hate plot armor so much.
You know, this is just disappointing and highlights the problems in rebels, the enemy never feel like a threat, in the clone wars the commando droids were elite troops and felt like a constant threat to our protagonists when they were on screen, whilst the rest of the droid army were incompetent the elite troops in it put Our heroes in danger and were not just another battle droid The death troops should play a similar part to the commando droids. A large threat that isn't easily defeated like an average stormtrooper. This version of death trooper's is just a re-skin of this shows depictions of stormtroopers, easily killed and humiliated with nothing special about them, just cannon fodder
Also another point is that droids could still be an incredible threat due to their numbers allowing to kill clones who didn’t have many allies at that moment
@@macvadda2318 I know witch is why I find it funny that people complain droids are useless in a 1v1 I mean they are meant to be lol, but yeah totally agree with you
I know this is late but that's why the clone wars were designed so well, the fact that they are clones allows them to have the same feeling as characters we love like rex or cody, but still allows death without killing off a main character.
No shit droids are shit. They're supposed to be shit. They're supposed to be cheap, weak but easy to mass produced. The idea stems from the Clone wars where the Republic prefers Quality while the CIS prefers Quantity. CIS army are able to beat Clone armies and Jedi through numbers
@@ventris425productions5 Even Thrawn was largely underwhelming in Rebels. His performance, voice acting, and only some of his participation was great, but compared to other media, Thrawn here wasn't all that great.
@@Imperialstorm03 Thrawn is artificially good in the story. By what I mean is that the Rebels lose half their brain cells when he's around. He doesn't win because he's smart, he wins because the Rebels become flaming retards when he's around.
@@firingallcylinders2949 Well, I know, but it still hurts. I mean they could have managed to make the rebels escape in a more realistic way. They could have let it be less Death Troopers or the troopers could have just arrived when the rebels were already in the ship or something like that.
Notice in the smoke scene that they can't see through smoke and their voice modulator is disabled? You can see that the Rebels disabled these, because the normally luminescent green eyes on the helmets are off. Saw Garrera is truly smart
Krenic: Stormtroopers secure the area Stormtroopers: YES SIR Krenic: Hovertank pilots uh pilot your hovertanks Hovertank pilots: Yes sir Krenic: Death troopers stand in the back and look really menacing Death troopers: *Silence*
"What about me, sir?" "Ah, shore trooper, you have the best job of them all." *"Four years in the academy for this, they didn't even give me a whistle."*
Fun fact: The reason the Death Troopers couldn't see through the smoke was because Sabine tampered with the smoke grenades to scrabble the sensors like she said in the episode since she was a former member of the empire.
@@omarbaba9892 It doesn't make much sense to why they would do that, since they can hear each other over comms so I just like to pretend they didn't have those yet

Everyone says they’re mad because the Death Troopers were nerfed and that they’re supposed to be a super solider... I could care less. No, what really makes me made is... They can speak, and people understand them......... *Angry Tron Noises*
Design-wise, I actually really love what they did with the death troopers, the normal ones are supposed to have attachments on the sides of their helmets, but without them, like seen here, they manage to look alot sleeker and (in my opinion) cooler, where as the death trooper specialist (seen at 1:28) has the thing on their helmet along with their extra combat gear. Normally it's the other way around, but like this, they look better in my opinion
@@ventris425productions5 Yeah, but they're too thin for my taste. I mean, their physical capabilities are supposed to be "somewhat beyond human". Do their stick legs and noodle arms look super human to you?
1:43 Fun fact: The person who voices the commanding Death Trooper in the Kyber Crystal Episode (Jennifer Hale) also voices Aayla Secura in the Clone Wars
She is mostly known in Video Games such as the female Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect series, Bastila Shan in Knights of the Old Republic, Samus Aran in the Metroid Prime trilogy, and Rivet in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
I find it amazing that the description of their height, weight, etc. have been completely ignored after their first appearance. It went from “ The few, the proud, the elite” to “anyone who wants to be can be.”
@@andruspolanco6935 even if that’s the case they would have stuck behind cover and a shot from a small hand blaster is not enough to kill a death trooper
In the book guide it states they have an advanced HUB with Infrared and night vision with a targeting system and range finder which is that helmet camera thing that some have but the night vision and infrared are built into the helmet with the HUD that links to their weapons but all stormtroopers and Clone troopers have that but it’s not used for plot shielding
For the issue of the death troopers not being able to see through smoke, it’s plausible that Sabine is using IR Jamming smoke, which scrambles anything that uses infrared to see through obstacles. As for why their voices aren’t scrambled and their tactics generally suck, I have no explanation.
Kinda wished they made them as strong as possible and made them to where you had to outsmart them rather then nerfing them all together because those guys can see through smoke with ease

I mean I believe it ends with them straight blowing up tens of thousands of people on a ship, Rebels? More like Terrorists
@@adamisacomedian6344 huh???????? What???? The empire condoned slavery, made life hell if you weren’t a rich human, and the reason they cared about “order” is because Turns out being insane oppressors causes a shit ton of rebellions. What sort of awful comment is this?

Theory: The death troopers on board the cargo transport are just regular storm troopers with normal equipment painted black. The kyber crystal onboard was meant to lure rebel Jedi and the guards had to look important as to not appear suspicious. It would not make sense for regular storm troopers to be guarding a kyber crystal. Thrawn probably planned the mission after finding out about about Kanan knowing exactly where kyber crystals were stored amongst 3 ships in season 1. The size of the crystal ensures that transporting it would be somewhat difficult or dangerous and the prisoners were on the ship to ensure that the rebels did not try to destroy the unstable crystal. What Thrawn did not expect was for Saw to be there to accept civilian casualties. This theory is dumb, but I’m doing the best I can to make sense of things.
I think you might be giving them too much credit (both the directors of the show and the imperials) but nice theory :)

Reminder that even standard stormtrooper helmets can see through smoke
When is that showcased in the movies or shows?

More like death trooper first day at work and having 0 experience
I like how these comments all blame Disney but never specifically blame Dave Filoni for this...........
The helmet thing was probably a joke they left in, but the only reason they never hit the main cast is because of plot armor, and the storm troopers let them escape the Death Star so they would lead the empire to the rebel base
I'm suprised they didn't blame Kathleen Kennedy.
All the good episodes and scenes: God bless Filoni.
All the bad Episodes and scenes: Kathleen Kenmedy ruined Star Wars.
Well if felonies had his way these guys would be more of a trouble for the rebels
@MUHAMMAD AZLAN SHAH BIN HAZIZUL - well they can’t be super op
@Mr Glass Finally, someone smart.
This is just the worst....their entire distinct sound is because of encrypted channels to talk to each other. Secondly these are the best the Empire has to offer yet they're no better than Stormtroopers here, and lastly their visors have the ability to see through an impairment like smoke, that's kind of the whole point of them....I can't believe how bad they butchered these guys.
Considering none of the characters knew what they were saying it’s safe to say that is audience perspective, they did have scrambled voices to the characters just not to us so we understand them, like in movies when aliens aren’t speaking English but to us viewers they do so we understand them, I believe halo did that with elites at some point, as for power level they only really get seen fighting Jedi and the likes of saw Guerrera who’s fought them constantly, like look how weak mandos look in TCW but that’s only cause they’re seen fighting each other and the best of the best clones, and in s3 finale until bendu showed up the empire won
Also at 2:45 look how clear the voice through the com link on the receivers end is, she sounds completely different because on the death troopers side it’s scrambled still but the comlink unscrambles it for the officer
@@connorgarvin2056 thats honestly overthinking it
Would it have been cool if death troopers were kept mysterious by having them always speak in garbled noises? Maybe, but it would’ve been annoying having to decipher conversations between an officer and a DT. It would be like watching Luke talk to R2, just hearing him go “hm, good point” and being left to infer what the droid said to him.
I guess it could’ve been a fun challenge for the writers but I think they decided it would’ve limited them somehow.
Dude,these guys were nerfed heavily.
Nah man.

Based moment
You do realize the Rebels literally disable a scene before?
Any movie: *Creates elite new Troopers that are trained to kill rebels*
Disney: Best I can do is get shot once and die
I like the insane detail on the comms, The female death troopers voice doesnt have the usual muffle when she is talking to the bridge
20 or so rounds at stationary targets between 3 elite death troopers at about 20 meters with the element of suprise and the high ground and they all miss.
Hera grabs a blaster, does a 180 while landing on her back and one shots them with 100% accuracy. I hate plot armor so much.
You know, this is just disappointing and highlights the problems in rebels, the enemy never feel like a threat, in the clone wars the commando droids were elite troops and felt like a constant threat to our protagonists when they were on screen, whilst the rest of the droid army were incompetent the elite troops in it put Our heroes in danger and were not just another battle droid
The death troops should play a similar part to the commando droids. A large threat that isn't easily defeated like an average stormtrooper. This version of death trooper's is just a re-skin of this shows depictions of stormtroopers, easily killed and humiliated with nothing special about them, just cannon fodder
Also another point is that droids could still be an incredible threat due to their numbers allowing to kill clones who didn’t have many allies at that moment
@@ventris425productions5 tbh, the droids were kinda meant to be strength in numbers
@@macvadda2318 I know witch is why I find it funny that people complain droids are useless in a 1v1 I mean they are meant to be lol, but yeah totally agree with you
I know this is late but that's why the clone wars were designed so well, the fact that they are clones allows them to have the same feeling as characters we love like rex or cody, but still allows death without killing off a main character.
No shit droids are shit. They're supposed to be shit. They're supposed to be cheap, weak but easy to mass produced. The idea stems from the Clone wars where the Republic prefers Quality while the CIS prefers Quantity. CIS army are able to beat Clone armies and Jedi through numbers

@@ventris425productions5 I'll have to agree there.... Somewhat.
@@Imperialstorm03 Thrawn is artificially good in the story. By what I mean is that the Rebels lose half their brain cells when he's around. He doesn't win because he's smart, he wins because the Rebels become flaming retards when he's around.
Anyone else find the sound their blasters make oddly satisfying? Especially at 1:21 ?
3:41 3:54 4:07 Is the coolest voice imo, almost sounds like an Aperture bot.

This is plot armor, and naturally Syndulla hits her first shot.....if this was true to canon the rebels would have been dead in seconds.
@@firingallcylinders2949 Well, I know, but it still hurts. I mean they could have managed to make the rebels escape in a more realistic way. They could have let it be less Death Troopers or the troopers could have just arrived when the rebels were already in the ship or something like that.

Notice in the smoke scene that they can't see through smoke and their voice modulator is disabled? You can see that the Rebels disabled these, because the normally luminescent green eyes on the helmets are off. Saw Garrera is truly smart

Fun fact: The reason the Death Troopers couldn't see through the smoke was because Sabine tampered with the smoke grenades to scrabble the sensors like she said in the episode since she was a former member of the empire.
Also they could probably turn the voice scramblers off

No, That Elite's name was ES-02, this is DT-16
I wish they would make a death trooper series where we actually see them winning battles, successfully accomplishing top secret missions, and other cool stuff.
Pretty late to say anything but the Death Trooper don't seem weak minded so its unclear why the mind trick worked on him.
Everyone says they’re mad because the Death Troopers were nerfed and that they’re supposed to be a super solider... I could care less.
No, what really makes me made is...
They can speak, and people understand them......... *Angry Tron Noises*
Its probably audience perspective
Design-wise, I actually really love what they did with the death troopers, the normal ones are supposed to have attachments on the sides of their helmets, but without them, like seen here, they manage to look alot sleeker and (in my opinion) cooler, where as the death trooper specialist (seen at 1:28) has the thing on their helmet along with their extra combat gear. Normally it's the other way around, but like this, they look better in my opinion
I think the sleek ones look better in rebels but the armoured ones look better in rogue one
@@ventris425productions5 Yeah, but they're too thin for my taste. I mean, their physical capabilities are supposed to be "somewhat beyond human". Do their stick legs and noodle arms look super human to you?

I love the death troopers, massively underrated in the show. One thing I do love is the sound of their blasters at 1:21 1:24 1:46
Its called e - 11d
1:43 Fun fact: The person who voices the commanding Death Trooper in the Kyber Crystal Episode (Jennifer Hale) also voices Aayla Secura in the Clone Wars
She is mostly known in Video Games such as the female Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect series, Bastila Shan in Knights of the Old Republic, Samus Aran in the Metroid Prime trilogy, and Rivet in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
2:18 nice how they mention Director Orson Krennic and as well as the Chain of Imperial Command

The boss when you unlock him: *Death troopers here*

Man Death Troopers were so cool
Me too bro, i love the helnet design
They did the death troopers dirty in this show 😤
I just love that they sound inhuman even when their voices aren't scrambled (almost like Sev from Delta Squad)
The one thing that constantly takes me out of rebels is the fact no one* is killed by light sabers.
*Only 4 people.
Maul stabbed an Inquisitor and Grand Inquisitor beheaded 2 Imperial Officers
Ezra kills them when they break out Hondo
Why do they have to use them if they don’t differentiate them at all from normal stormtroopers?

6:04 IMPOSTER SUS!?!?!?!?!

I like the commander’s voice, the helmet makes her sound less human.
In 5:20, did you notice that the death trooper sounded a bit like a commando droid
oh true
They're not supposed to talk it's supposed to be scrambled like how the royal guards have their own language
Crazy how disney made every "elite" unit just fodder, first death troopers now commandos
Not in every project, blud.
when you re-watch your childhood show and you understand it connects with the canon: *interesting*
We are not part of your useless childhood. Go get a job anyways
Love to see shadow troopers and darktroopers and novatroopers in this.
Just imagine Ezra and Sabine and Zeb fighting 501st clones instead of deathtroopers, and plot armour was disabled.
Where the 501st is Vader is there too that means we get another siege of lothal part 2 scene
Lowkey the blaster sound effects for the e-11d sound better then the rouge one sound effect
Aren’t Death Troopers supposed to have scramblers so that most people wouldn’t understand what they were saying?
Yes
They can probably turn them off when they’re not on a mission
Death troopers have voice modificators that permit their voices to be heard only by vader and others death troopers btw.
I find it amazing that the description of their height, weight, etc. have been completely ignored after their first appearance. It went from “ The few, the proud, the elite” to “anyone who wants to be can be.”
I get they were fodder in this show, but damn his voice is cool
5:11
I agree
The idea that Death Trooper helmets cannot circumvent a smoke screen is hilarious.
3:52 That's a trooper!
Fact: this show would have done much better with clone wars/ bad batch animation
Worse part is there’s a scene in smoke where the rebels fool them when the death troopers Literally have night vision and something else
It's literally said that Sabine did something so they can't do that

3:57 Voice actor for Tom? Toonami
the Death Trooper voice is different in live-action
Voice scamblers
5:24 (Scrambled Voice) Alright you two, Numbers and Clearance Codes Now.
The Death Troopers are more easier to understand what they’re saying than Rogue One.
The rebels scene with the smoke always made me mad their helmets have a special heads up display that allows them to see through smokes or fogs
Death Troopers are bodyguards to high ranking officers of the Empire.
wait, why isnt their comms scrambled?
In the book guide it states they have an advanced HUB with Infrared and night vision with a targeting system and range finder which is that helmet camera thing that some have but the night vision and infrared are built into the helmet with the HUD that links to their weapons but all stormtroopers and Clone troopers have that but it’s not used for plot shielding
For the issue of the death troopers not being able to see through smoke, it’s plausible that Sabine is using IR Jamming smoke, which scrambles anything that uses infrared to see through obstacles. As for why their voices aren’t scrambled and their tactics generally suck, I have no explanation.
I love how the E-11d sounds in Rebels
3:53 yo if I were in Star Wars and I was a death trooper, that would be me guaranteed 😎
If I wanted to be part of the empire I would be a death trooper too 😎

Deploy the Shadow Troopers! Wait too expensive? Uhh, send out the Death Troopers! The living kind.
1:43 I'm sorry but did that death trooper just SPEAK?! God what happened to speaking in a language only they could understand
Filoni forgot
Kinda wished they made them as strong as possible and made them to where you had to outsmart them rather then nerfing them all together because those guys can see through smoke with ease
Death troopers speaking normally is strange
the Death Trooper voice is different in live-action
