Clones can be considered to good or bad guys, depending on the part of Star Wars history they’re from (my clone is considered one of the good guys).Īs you can see from the picture, there are several major differences between the two. The armor I wear is from the animated series (and no, I’m not Captain Rex). In short, these guys have so many variations and colors, you need a dictionary to figure them all out. Clone Troopers range from the all white “grunt” to ARCs to ARFs. In terms of their body type, clones are much more physically defined than the stormtroopers and are never shiny. Regardless of the variation, stormtroopers are all bad guys and serve the Empire.Ĭlone Troopers were first seen in Star Wars Episode II, as well as in Episode III.They are currently a major force in the Clone Wars Animated Series. Some of the different variations of stormtroopers include the sandtrooper and stormtrooper commander. A stormtrooper’s eyes are separated, where as the clone troopers have a one piece visor. The helmet they wear is pretty unique as well. The most popular version wears all white plastic armor (usually shiny) and have buttons on their ab plates (typically black, blue, or both). Stormtroopers appeared in Star Wars Episodes IV thru VI. Clone Trooper (Left) Stormtrooper (Right) Clone Trooper / Images: 501st Legion I’m not going to go into to much detail about their history, just what they look like so you can tell the difference if you ever run into one.įirst up, is Stormtrooper vs.
To help those who might find it all a bit confusing, I’d like to help you out.
The second thing is that just as many people don’t know the difference between a tie pilot and Darth Vader. The first thing is that most people don’t know the difference between a stormtrooper and a clone trooper. After trooping more than 50 events with the 501st Legion, I’ve come to realize a few things.
