Highly underrated troopers. Always loved their armor. I remember when I was little I thought it was another transitional armor kinda like the TK troopers or Triton squad troopers, but turns out these guys aren’t even considered stormtroopers.
It is kind of odd that they resemble Stormtroopers, when they're not even related to them. It's kind of like they were meant to fool you. I mean, shit, I thought they were Stormtroopers when I was younger! Also, the Stormtroopers on the Death Star can survive multiple impales, and it's very annoying.
@@MyPS4IsOnFirePleaseHelp Imperial Army Troopers kinda look like Storm Troopers also. I think its more of an "Imperial" thing than an exclusively Storm Trooper look.

@@Fulcrox they can still be elite units. It shouldn’t be hard to let the good guys look cool too when the empire has hundreds of variants based on the template of one.
I love how in the psp version galen vists ghe jedi temple 3 times and at that point the commandos just never straight up never remember what ship he keeps coming in
I always thought of it as Stormtroopers showing up until the end to be a sign of the Empire reaching its peak as you go to try to put a stop to it. The stormtroopers were a lot tougher and resistant to hits in the game. It also makes sense they would send Naval Commandos to hold down posts and be at frontier worlds.
Yeah! This on the WII was fucking top notch. Incredibly immersive when you get to actually swing the Sabre instead of sitting on the settee with a controller
Army Troopers came first in Legends actually, like a lot of the stuff used by early Expanded Universe writers they came from Roleplaying game sourcebooks from the late 80s and early 90s
They did, the Imperial Commandos in SWBF2EA are or were Imperial Navy Commandos, I say "were" because some newer source claimed they are ISB Special Forces, but that shouldn't make them "not be" Imperial Navy Commandos.
They sorta are. The Imperial Navy Commandos where to the regular Navy Troopers what the ARC Troopers where to the regular Clone Troopers. Unfortunately for them though they happen to end up against StarKiller for the majority of the game.
I always wondered why they had that cutscene of the militiaman taking over the AT-ST. It really dosen't change anything, the AT-ST would have attacked you anyways and it dosen't get stronger from being controlled by Kota's militiaman.
Because its far better than a stupid text saying "oh, that AT-ST is controlled by Kota Militia". It shows the skill of the Militia commandos and the effort put in the game
@@Fulcrox As for your first sentence, my point is, what's the difference between wether the AT-ST is controlled by a militiaman or a stormtrooper? As for the second, I can see your point.
That militiaman pulled out and lifted an whole a** grown man in full body armor with one hand. Something’s gonna be stronger by having him behind the wheel.
When I first played this as a kid, I thought this armour was the mid-way conversion between the Phase II Clone Armour and the Stormtrooper. Kinda like how the Empire still had remnants of the Republic not yet fully overhauled for the Empire. Though, the feeling of seeing Stormtroopers in the final levels and having my theory validated by the game was something else lol
Navy Commandos aren't actually part of the Stormtrooper Corps, though their armor is obviously similar in appearance. And Stormtroopers appeared nearly everywhere in other versions of the game, so, you're unfortunately incorrect on your "confirmed" theory with these guys. Unless I'm misinterpreting what you said.
Believe it or not, Imperial Navy Commandos aren't a Stormtrooper variant, they're completely unrelated to the Stormtrooper Corps. This is also mentioned in the video's description.
ngl but legends always had more of the cooler features like these guys and 501st had some great designs too them. Kotas milita did aswell and with the design you could see like a resemblance too like an early rebellion
This game had one of the best esthetics of all Star Wars contents. Filoni and Disney will never top this and (they will) always copy from legends make it worse.

Yep wouldn’t doubt it Dave always steals good designs and inspiration never giving credit to the source material. He did the same thing for the training droid voices from the first season of the bad batch those screams sound very close to the purge droid you fight as Starkiller…
First of all, the TK troopers are based on the Ralph Mcquarrie concept stormtrooper armor. (maybe the games designers also took inspiration from them) Second of all, He's not stealing anything, besides him and George back in the day re used quite a bit of stuff that was concept art or other assets. Those things you referenced aren't considered canon anymore (unfortunately) so why let an asset like that be forgotten.
@@ugiustuskeiserus8066 Oh my god it's called having an archive, George Lucas owns lucas arts, who in turn developed and published the force unleashed. Dave filoni and George obviously worked on the clone wars together and from time to time they would reuse assets from different media's. So quit calling it stealing since all these studios were interconnected and shared asset's and with lucasarts not being a game publisher anymore (as in not existing) Dave might've checked the old sounds archive and thought it would fit.
@@jocularplane Yes, I know they are based on the concept art, but he could've gotten inspiration from these troopers as well. Pretty sure George used concept art from his company as they were the inspiration for these designs to begin with. Dave just takes these designs and people act like he helped give us good content. He does nothing he takes previous designs and work and puts it into his shows biggest example is Rebels. If you were to show a Rebels design people would probably say it's from Rebels when it's actually concept art from Mcquarrie and they credit Dave for these new designs when he just takes it from the past. Yes don't let these concepts be forgotten is a good idea, but they are being forgotten when they are redone by a man who is lazy and can't be creative is all I'm saying.
Other way around the rebels are using the LAAT gunship, you can tell during the 2nd mission of the Wii/PS2 Force Unleashed Ram Kota's Rebel Malitia use the LAAT gunship
(PS2 Nostalgia) I've always thought their Armor looks so cool! In one picture of these 200 colectable Holocrons, you can see a concept sketch of an Black armored Imperial Navy Commando (Probably a Shadow Imperial Navy Commando) Would've been nice to see them as actuall enemies aswell. 0:52 this scene always got me, when they recognize the Rogue Shadow and immediatly run away 😂.

@@Pattern_Recognitions Both actually.

Sadly, this design is legends
Hunters helmet in the bad batch looks pretty similar to triton squads helmet in the ps2 version’s kashyyk intro. Not exact but similar.
I never noticed how the AT-ST commander has a wookie pelt sash.
They look cool. It's a pity that the PC/XBOX version is much more empty than the PSP/WII version of the game.
The fact that these guys aren’t even stormtroopers. The ones in this version were no push overs.
When I heard their dying voices I thought they were sick😂
Back when star wars was about a war
Thank you verra much i love thé armor❤
They look like slightly changed stormtroopers. And are as ineffective too.
I still don't get why as a kid the Wii version got more missions, costumes, and real time cutscenes and the Xbox version didn't
