What is the most effective infantry unit in Star Wars?

Which of these is the most effective infantry unit to build an army around?

1. Super Battle Droid (Sturdy, dangerous, reliable, slightly expensive)
2. Battle Droid (Ineffective, extremely cheap)
3. Stormtrooper (Reliable, usually effective, independently thinking, relatively cheap)
4. Clone Trooper (Extremely dangerous, reliable, independently thinking, moderate cost)
5. Droideka (Immensely dangerous, sturdy, reliable, immensely expensive)
6. Rebel/ New Republic Trooper (Effective, reliable, fueled by morals and causes, mildly expensive)
7. Yuuzhan Vong Trooper (Dangerous, independently thinking, moderate cost)

So? Which is it?

Droidekas are just killing machines. Repetetive firing and shielding makes them even dangerous to Jedi.

Clone Troopers are clones of Jango, who was one of the deadliest humans. They are fast, sharp thinking, good aim, etc.

I would say it comes between Clone Troopers and Droidekas.

The Empire's military is greater than anyone elses, but that was due to outrageous numbers and advanced technology. Stormtroopers themselves aren't that badass.

Gotta go with the droideka.

Droideka's shields don't always work (Jar Jar took one out in ep1 with a stray blaster shot). For their cost, I'd say that Yuuzhan Vong warriors are probably the best. Their armor can stop blaster bolts and their amphistaffs would slice through the armor on a Droideka with ease.

Clone Troopers, hands down. Sure 15 Droidekas > 15 Clone Troopers but the Clone Troopers are overall the most effective.

Exactly^.

A droideka could not fly a ship, give out orders, or have as good manuvers as the clones, they are after all around the best troopers, if not the Yuz....

You are persuasive.

The most effective infantry unit in Star Wars is the Mandalorian shocktrooper. Dangerous, reliable, independently thinking, and fueled by their culture. Well worth the cost.

1.) and 2.) I would not build any army out of droids. Their lack of independent thinking is their downfall.

3.) All in all, a regular human with Imperial styled military training and brainwashing. Effective only in numbers.

4.) Bred and trained from a highly skilled bounty hunter. However, lack of enterprising thought, which is needed to keep them in line and from suffering clone madness is again a drawback. Their extreme loyalty would compensate.

5.) F*ck no. Shouldn't have to explain why.

6.) Pretty much the same as the Stormtroopers, only without the Imperial training and brainwashing. Just ordinary soldiers really.

7.) Stronger than any man or droid, fiercely devoted to their cause. Highly skilled, Force-resistant, tall, won't stop until their enemy is overcome while employing enterprising thought.

Yuuzhan Vong get my vote.

About the Mandalorian Supercommando's, I didn't put them on for the simple reason that they'd dominate.

I would say the stormtroopers have the mass population and technology. I like to think of them like clones(bad***) and not thier lame selfs in thge movies.

I was curious about this; you'd think that, regardless of their movie performance, the Stormtroopers (being trained by a more militaristic regime and equipped with superior numbers and technology) would be greater than the Clone Troopers or the droids...

Exactly, couldn't have said it any better.

The movies really don't do the Stormies any justice.

Didn't some of the clones become stormtroopers? Is Battlefront II canon?

Of course, moviewise only, Han Solo is almost as bad.
The special effects didn't do anyone justice.

This is a good point. Clones are like the perfect troops, that is after all what they were designed to be.

Gotta go with clone troopers.

Clones. They were after all, clones of and partially trained by Jango, not some silly half-assed military academy. Droids cant think and therefore cant make needed in-battle decisions that can ultimately win or lose you a battle.

socks, because they never give up.

ok just kidding, id have to agree with subjeckt

Please answer. I really don't know.
