I hope so that they are, in just about every single source, they are noted as the Elite shock troops of the Empire and as SF and they were. With Imperial Army Troopers being the main planet fighting force.
I hope they keep it as such, because it's what made the GE unique. They didn't have just a single thing, they had regular troopers(which honestly, they are underrated, the Army Troopers are awesome even if they don't appear very often) and then elite troopers as Stormtroopers.
Then you had specialized variants of the Stormtroopers and then finally you had Special Forces both Army and Stormtroopers and then you had the elite within the elite....the Imperial Royal Guardsmen.
The GE had all their bases covered and were extremely versatile, along with having loads of manpower and highly trained troops.
It was pretty much like so...
Army Troopers < SF Army Troopers < Stormtroopers < Variant Stormtroopers < Special Forces Stormtroopers < Imperial Guardsmen(and there variants).
The Imperial Navy isn't anything to scoff at either.
The GE military is terribly underrated and overshadowed by the GAR, when they are just as awesome and capable.

Stormtroopers should be incompetent and bungling just like in the OT. They're like the ninjas in the "American Ninja" movies. People claim they're these deadly warriors but they're actually completely useless.
It exists because people can't seem to actually watch a movie and actually see the details and context behind certain scenes, even when it's spelled out right infront of them.
Really it's all a lie.
See? My point proven, the Stormtroopers in the OT weren't incompetent. This just has stuck, because people didn't actually watch what was going on.

These things and more."
It really just annoys the hell out of me....I'm probably one of the few, who actually know what Stormtroopers can do, in fact the entirety of what the GE can do, I'm pretty wired into it.
And...the comments about Stormtroopers just...drive me up the wall. It's worse than anything else, because...you don't even need to go into the EU...whatsoever to find out that Stormtroopers were competent and showed some nice accurate shots in the movies.
