This video is based on the short story "TK-462" found in Star Wars Insider #166 for those who wish to read it themselves :)

“Aren’t you a little short to be a storm trooper?”
- Lasser

I love that image of the kid saluting the stormtrooper, mostly because the stormtrooper salutes back and it's giving me heart diabetes

[FarizIskandar]

Imagine how many stormtroopers that went through harsh and torturous training just to miss all of their shots and gets instantly killed by some monks with fancy glow sticks.

What did we learn kids?
“Always make sure you leave no one to take revenge on you”

[darthutah]

I wouldn't mind a video game about being a stormtrooper. Not just fighting the rebels but basically doing the same stuff that TK-462 did.

Doesn't compare to the tragedy of Gary the Stormtrooper.

Gary never gets to see his daughter because of that rebel scum! So sad!

Rebels: Kills little sister

The boy: So you have chosen... death.

[insurancescam]

Rebels: *Kills sister*
The 12-year-old: It's treason then...

[triplestripe]

The rebels were more of an extremist group when they started, they did stuff like this often in the years before organa and other political figures joined.

"That's how it begins... The fever... The rage..."

It always bothered me how Stormtroopers wore all this armor, but one blaster bolt is enough to kill one

[hunterkiller]

It's a cycle. Empire blow up rebels today, rebels blow up the Empire tomorrow, and so on.

[TheMillionKing]

This just proves how there was no real good guys during this war....

[rlmccormack]

Stormtroopers, can’t help but feel sorry for em.
Can you make a video on the Jedi survivor of Order 66 who became king of a planet?

"I, TK-462, have a dream."

[wdcain]

Sad but I still feel that the unnamed Stormtrooper Princess Leia shot right before her capture in ep4 is real sad. We see the guy came from poverty and joined the Empire to escape from it but immediately realized how awful the gov't was from the hellish Stormtrooper training. He was planning on defecting to the Rebellion when he boarded a ship when he got shot by the most beautiful woman he'd ever saw. It was a touching story that Garth Ennis really delivered.

“Recycling air and turning it back into oxygen”

Seems legit

[jebronlames]

That's war for you, You kill one of mine I kill one of yours, and the cycle just keeps continuing until one side can't keep up
