Stormtroopers

Stormtroopers were soldiers used serving in the First Galactic Empire that lasted from 19 BBY til 4 ABY. They replaced Clone Troopers that were the name of the soldiers who served in the Republic during the Clone Wars.

History
Stormtrooper costumes were used to replace the typical Clone Trooper costume after 19 BBY, many of these troopers were aboard the first Death Star, that exploded in the Battle of Yavin and even though they were the successors of the Clone Troopers, they seemed to be less powerful and also clumsier. This can be explained by how The Empire might have started to use normal people as Stormtroopers instead of only clones.
