Originally posted by darthsith19though that does look like absolute pwnage, we also have to look at the numbers. there are twice as many stormtroopers as there are rebels in that scene... one on one, i still think that the trooper would win, especially if he was an old clone...
Well, this should tell you something:How are we supposed to know who wins in a Grenade fight?
At the Battle of Endor, the Emperor's best stormtroopers were present on the planet...however, most of them died. Meanwhile, I saw very few Rebel trooper deaths in those scenes...
Yes, the Ewoks were involved, of course, but that doesn't keep Rebels from being shot at...
I think a Rebel trooper would possibly win. Possibly.

Depends on which Stormtrooper and which rebel, if its some Stormtrooper from elite squads and a ordinary Rebel, then the Stormtroopers and vica-versa.
I always find that quote of Sidious, when he says my finest legion of Stormtroopers.........., if thats his finest, what is the lamest like, they didn't do themselves credit on Endor, being beaten by teddy bears.
Databank
The military soldiers unswervingly loyal to the Emperor, stormtroopers represented the most visible extension of Imperial might. They were shock troopers meant to strike with speed and accuracy, putting down insurrections and maintaining order on the farflung worlds of the Empire.
The movie heavily downgrades Stormtroopers and underrated in here.
K is correct.
The only reason the Storm Troopers are so bad in the movies is so that the good guys would look better. Honestly, how the hell is a farm boy, snotty princess, walking carpet, and washed up Jedi going to break out of the Death Star, one of the most guarded location in the Empire, which housed the 501st Legion no less? They wouldn't. Realistically speaking, the good guys should have been smashed in a matter of minutes.

I'm not sure, but I don't think it genuinely matters; they'd feel some kind of evil presence. It's a Sith Lord for christs sake.
They obviously knew their ship had just been captured by a Star Destroyer so we can speculate that their morale was low.
