Description
Strike Trooper!Let's face it, the cloning process is far from perfect. The Clone Troopers aren't the sharpest bunch that you could ask for as far as armies go, but considering they are up against mildly retarded robots that gives them the advantage. And by the time you get to the Stormtroopers in Episode Four, they can't even hit the broad side of the barn with their laser rifles.
So on occasion you need a higher grade of trooper like this guy. Specially trained by Jango Fett himself, when you need the best of the best you call these guys.
Strike Troopers are from my own little EU corner of the Star Wars universe along with these Jedi characters: [link]

Wow. I dig this. Because this is the kind of kick-ass guy that does his job. And he does it ever so efficiently. I like fan fics as much as the next SW fan, and I like concepts like this even more, granted they look authentic, as they should, and fit in with the SW stories that are official and certain. That said, this is the kind of bs that I look for...awesome stuff like this that I couldn't even get out of my head onto paper or the PC screen. All in all, I'm saying thanks and I appreciate what you do. This one is awesome. Deff checking out your gallery now.

Thanks. I don't do Star Wars art too often but it used to be all I drew as a kid so it holds a special place in my heart. Ha.

The stormtroopers are pretty pathetic. Once my low level SW RPG group killed over 60 of them as 2nd level characters. Now I use a whole new template so they are actually halfway decent. As is they are a total embarrassment to Jango and all the other templates they used. You'd think they cloned Luke's uncle the way they fight.

As far as galactic empires go they were pretty lame. An army of discount robots gave them a run for their money and they were defeated by Rebels in a bunch of crappy second hand space ships and Ewoks. They even had those cool Star Destroyers and a couple of Death Stars and they were so horribly mismanaged and unorganized they still couldn't get the advantage.

It tells you what a great writer Lucas is. His universe it best left in more capable hands.

I would pay to see ninja rocket Fetts take on mildly retarded robots in a flaming death cage match in Vegas.
I'd pay slightly less to see it on Endor. Cost of travel, ya know.

Well, plus I hear the accommodations there are terrible. All treehouses with grass beds.

Ugh, hay fever. I'm allergic to Ewok dander as well.

Seriously, though. Crappy clones versus crappy robots would be massively entertaining. Hopefully that's a sport that'll come about in our lifetimes.

I want it in a motorball arena with rocket skates.

That sounds pretty rad. Thrown in chainsaws and I'm sold.

Actually, according to most sources, just prior to episode 4 the Emperor banned the use of clones and destroyed the vast majority of clone troopers and went to a volunteer army. (hence Luke's wanting to go to the acedemy)
All Star Wars geekness aside, I really like your elite trooper. The black and purple combo is perfect.

Thanks, Skotti. I know you are a big SW fan, so that means a lot.
See, I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure if it had ever been made canon one way or the other. Of course there are Imperial officers by Episode 4 and I remember something about Han working for them before going renegade. It makes you wonder what they did with all the clones. If nothing else though, something did go wrong with Boba Fett. The guy is a serious slob compared to Jango.
Lucas needs to quit screwing around with the Clone Wars though and get to work filling in the gap between the original trilogy and the prequels!

Yeah, but to be honest, I'd rather see either Old Republic era, or Yuuzhan Vong War.

For real. A Knights of the Old Republic animated movie would be the shit!

Simple and very effective design. I like it.

Thanks. I just sorta blurred the lines between Trooper and Mandalorian a little more though. At first I thought I'd make the armor silver and the visor red, but then I realized "duh... Cylon".

Heh. Yeah, it's actually not difficult to imagine the missing link between the clones and the toasters.

Ooo, I like the way the armor looks
Nice work.
Yeah, those storm troopers really changed during that 20 year break, I mean some grew taller than their clone brothers...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Yeah, either the clone batches mutated or degenerated or maybe after awhile they just started cloning any ol' schmoe. "Hey, we've got this big kick ass battle station, why not cut back on the cloning budget..." And so fell the Empire.

yeah, I read somewhere that there wasn't much Jango genetic material, so then they started cloning random people. Nice drawing by the way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yeah they really let go with those later clone batches didn\'t they?

Ha. Well, they were finally defeated by the Ewoks, so that says something right there I think.
