According to Star Wars lore, Imperial stormtroopers are men and women who have been recruited (or conscripted) at a young age to serve as expendable foot soldiers of the Empire, gradually replacing clone troopers as their accelerated aging forces them to retire.
There are a lot of women in the stormtrooper ranks in Star Wars Battlefront II. In the Force Awakens there are a few women playing stormtroopers throughout the film as can be seen in some of the behind the scenes material.
After the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire, Emperor Palpatine quickly disbanded the Clone Army and replaced them with a new generation of human soldiers: the stormtroopers. They were recruited from the general population and trained to serve the Empire.
The phase 1 and phase 2 clone troopers are clones that have the same genetics as Jango Fett but the Stormtroopers from the empire aren't clones. We can't really notice this in the Original Trilogy but it's clear in the many Disney movies/series phase 1 and phase 2 Stormtrooper aren't clones.
The genetic template for the clone army was Jango Fett, seen in the prequel films when the clone conspiracy originally came to light. Finn looked altogether different, however, and he explained his background later in the same film as essentially becoming a young recruit when the First Order orphaned him.
Despite their intense indoctrination, enlisted stormtroopers were still capable of living civilian lives; they received pay, were given periods of leave time, and under some circumstances were given opportunities to retire from service.
Some clones disobeyed the infamous order than decimated the Jedi order, and refused to execute it. SOME of these Clones include; Captain Rex: Captain Rex, as most know removed his chip that would later be the way that Palpatine would execute order 66. Wolffe: As with Captain Rex Wolffe removed his bio chip.
But why? There have been various reasons for this very briefly touched on in expanded universe offerings. One reason being that the clones were too expensive to produce and raise. Another being that getting citizens to sign up to fight for the Empire made those same citizens and their families more loyal to the Empire.
Omega™ was the second unaltered clone in Star Wars history. She was also the first female clone in Star Wars. Author E.K. Johnston would later reveal the transgender clone trooper named Sister in the Star Wars novel Queen's Hope™. Sister aside, Omega is the most prominent female clone.
Outside of the films, the character appears in a number of canonical and non-canonical Star Wars works, such as comic books and video games, which depict him as an antihero rather than a villainous figure, and explore his past as both a bounty hunter and Mandalorian warrior.
Sith troopers, also known as Sith stormtroopers, were elite soldiers in the forces of the Sith Eternal, a cult that ruled the dark planet of Exegol in the Unknown Regions. The army comprised the children of the Sith Eternal, a cult that revered the dark side of the Force.
Phasma, a human female stormtrooper captain of the First Order, grew up as a member of the Scyre clan on the nuclear-ravaged world of Parnassos, where she became a formidable warrior, eventually becoming the clan's military leader.
Vader did not hunt for Yoda in any cinematic depiction. He and Sidious could not find Yoda as he had exiled himself on the planet Dagobah which had strong dark side energy that masked Yoda's presence in the Force.
Other clones, like Commander Cody, eventually abandoned the Empire after being guilt-ridden over their actions during Order 66, proving they cannot escape the fateful day.
"As long as your world is a member of the Empire of the Hand, you're eligible." Alien stormtroopers were Non-Humans who served the Galactic Empire and its successor states as stormtroopers.
As you would expect with such an elite force, the physical requirements are strict: Height between 5"10 and 6 feet tall. Slender and athletic build. Ability to maintain high energy levels and physical exertion while wearing the Stormtrooper uniform (in the summer heat!)
Yes. They have been explicitly confirmed in the new canon. Even way back in the day, Lucas himself said that there were female storm troopers, though none were stationed on the Death Star (which suggests that they were exceptionally rare, only in certain units, or both.
The fact that clones could defy the orders that are literally written into their brains caused a crisis of faith in the Empire. Since they couldn't command 100% control over the clones that they managed to ruin, regular conscripted soldiers offered an easier solution. Many of the issues were due to gradual mutations.
Their most distinguishing feature was their all-black armor—a stark contrast to the typical white armor common to other stormtroopers. This unique black armor provided some stealth benefits, which resulted from the stygian-triprismatic polymer material used in the production of the armor.
