![]() The Death Troopers were largely wiped out during the events of Rogue One, and the ISB is more useful for preventing a war than serving in one (something they eventually failed to do anyway). But even then these units were hardly enough to alter the course of a war - Inferno Squadron were a pain for the Rebellion sure, but there was only so much they could do as they were a very small unit of soldiers. That’s not to say the Empire didn’t have some powerful units on their side - special force units like Inferno Squad and the Death Troopers were definitely a cut above the rest of the military, and organisations like the Imperial Security Bureau were very effective at routing out resistance to the Empire and shutting it down fast (as seen in Andor and Rebels). In turn, Stormtrooper’s were famous (even in canon) for their bad aim and often did not handle a combat situation well, often losing skirmishes even when they vastly outnumbered their opposition (a reason the Rebellion would eventually win). The Empire on the other hand used the general population to fill their Stormtrooper ranks - these people did not receive anywhere near the level of training the average Clone did, and most likely just went into the military because it was an easy way to leave their life behind and see more of the Galaxy. The only reason that the Clone Wars went on for as long as it did was because the separatist army was able to maintain their build level for new units during the war, so they were able to maintain some level of dominance just in sheer numbers. Couple this with the Jedi’s leadership and you had an incredibly robust and efficient military. The clones were literally bred for war, with each clone receiving vast military training from the moment they were born. ![]() The Clone hierarchy was clear, the Jedi generals commanded from the front lines and Republic admirals served the fleets. The Republic’s military was very well organised by the time of the Clone Wars. Even if you ignore the fact that the Empire is an allegory for the Nazis, in reality this is not a close contest. ![]()
