I thnik the clone armour was better because it was lit and easyer to move around in.But the storm trooper armour is good because it has more tools ot use and is more intimidateing to it enmys.

if i notice, in a new hope leia has to hit the stormtrooper dead in the cheast with her blaster to be effective, the armor doesn't protect against the military grade blasters the rebels have, but it does protect against civilan weapons and huniting blasters. also, the empire designs flaws into their eciupment to better motivate their soldiers, cruel, but that's the empire for you. also, in the new hope, you will notice that vader says the line: "several fighters have broken off from the main group." the movie focuses on the important part of the battle, where the minority of the fighters are, the rest of the rebellion is engaging the death star in other areas to disorent them and distract them from the important part, that's why the aid had to analyze the attack to discover the danger of what they where actually doing. also, the lack of shields and hyperdrive on ties make them more manoverable.

I personally hate starwars and think that it would be a much better world if it never existed. Do you people realize that you are the biggest losers on the planet and that even Meseret is pulling your leg without you realizing... it's all a con! People are getting their own amusement out of ridiculing you. I would just like to say that you should get a life and that Star Wars is not even real so get over it! It sucks... own up to that realization! Maybe you could even be able to get a date if you would just listen to my advice. You need to have your own unique personality... i don't think "star wars" is one! Stop being such geeks... it really is quite awful!

Take it easy, Porthos, no need to get upset, we're all friends here. However, I guess I'm just kind of dumb because I couldn't put two and two together. also, I don't believe Lucas ever intended on making the last three movies to begin with, so he had to do a lot of patch work plotting. At least I think so. Bang, my all time favorite is Jaws. I've seen it at least twenty times. I guess it was the first movie I ever saw that sparked my imagination. Take care.

Maybe you should actually see all three movies before you start asking questions. At the end of Ep 3 Captain Antilles clearly ordered his tech crew to COMPLETELY WIPE THREEPIO'S MEMORY. Owen makes a point of it to Luke to wipe the droids memories as well. Even if you never saw Ep 3 there was enough for everyone to put two and two together and guess Threepio had a memory wipe at some point. Now why didnt Owen recognize Threepio? Because all Protocol droids tend to act the same. That and its been 20 years and droids are as cheap and easy to replace as car tires, so who really gets attatched enough to a droid to really learn its name by heart? They probably went through a dozen of them over Luke's life, Tattooines climate isnt that good for droids. Wouldnt suprise me if Owen drank a lot either.

Hi Rand! If I'm not mistaken, near the end of Episode 3, "Revenge of the Sith," Senator Organa (Jimmy Smits' character) mentions to another officer to have the droids' memory banks erased, referring to C3PO and R2D2; thus, they would not remember Uncle Owen, the Tatooine farm, or Anakin building C3PO. For me, however, this brings up a whole new set of issues that have bothered ever since "The Empire Strikes Back." In the very first "Star Wars" in 1977--even before it became known as Episode 4, "A New Hope"--it was if Luke, Han, Leia, and everyone else were simply caught up in an intergalactic struggle, and being in the wrong plae at the wrong time, they became heroes. But by the time of "The Empire Strikes Back," it's like the entire universe revolves around our heroes, a trend that has continued to the present day. The movies have definitely lost a lot of their innocence since the 1977 movie, which I feel is still the best movie ever made. Have a good one, everyone.

I've only recently watched Episodes 1-2 and have a few questions. If Annakin built C3PO and he knew Obi Wan and worked for Uncle Owen before the events in the first Star Wars movie, why didn't he know Owen when he and luke bought the droids in Star Wars? And if he did recognize Owen, why didn't C3P0 mention that he had once worked there, or say he had never heard of an Obi Wan when Luke watched Leia's recording? Take Care.

Their armor was blast-resistant, its not so much that it stopped the laser weapons as it had a chance of "bouncing" them off. Ever notice that they couldn't be stopped? There were lots of them and they could take a few pot-shots without being killed. I bet a storm-trooper or two could show you some armor that had taken quite a few shots in its time!
P.S. This is my first post, I kinda like this site.

I've been watching the original movies on cable and I have an even better question. Why did the stormtroopers even bother with armor if it couldn't even stop the arrows the Ewoks used? Take Care.

it's a movie and they wanted the bad guys (the empire) to look cool and tough. thats why they made the armor. i dont think they had stopping blaster fire in mind when they made them.

I love the previous post...someone actually coming to the site to call people losers. Now THAT'S a real loser.
About the armor. You haven't forgotten the Hummer proboem in Iraq...no belly armor on armored tops. and lack of side reinforcement.
So theorectically the Empire could have rushed into war suddenly, mass produced a flawed design that didn't match the upgrade in blasters.

The empire did not find it important to have a large amount of shields. If you recall in episode 6 after 5 shots from A wings the "super star destroyer" lost its main bridge deflector shields and after 1 kamikaze the rest of the ship was destroyed. the empire was fighting a physiological battle. If you send 50 Ties head on to one ship firing it doesn't matter if a single shot hits you will freak the pilot to death. Also look at the first Death Star, it had ultimate fire power and yet 1 proper hit would destroy it. Not to mention you only see the rebels send 12 ships to attack it. The empire thought they would be crazy to attack it. They thought that if they could get enough fire power then no one would bother them anyway, They were slightly simular to the Russians in WW2 throwing men out some even without guns. Part of the phycologiicall battle is that everything looks profeshinal therfore the armor was just to make them all look the same,so shields were not to important.
