Thoughts about Storm Troopers

I started to wonder why Storm Troopers were used to garrison Tatooine instead of regular Army troops. After all, Stormies are elite, assault troops and garrison duty would be wasting them.

I did finally realize why Storm Troopers were used to garrison for a couple reasons:

1. The completely sealed body armor of the Storm Troopers would allow them to operate in the harsh desert environment more comfortibly then regular Army troops. Along with the built-in sensor systems, Storm Troopers are better equiped to deal with any problems that they encounter on patrol.

2. The indoctrination and training of the Storm Troopers makes them complete loyal to the empire. Bridery and intimidation would not work against them. Given the underworld element on Tatooine, an uncorruptible garrison is necessary to insure order is maintain there.

I wonder if anyone knows of any other reasons for using Storm Troopers to garrison Tatooine.

Good Points. :D

It is kinda sad that we only get to see the mighty imperial army, in action only once in the entire OT. :cry:

Episode III had better be a fucking battle orgy.

All the way around; it needs to have a space battle to end all space battles, the land war we saw in Clones, and lots of Jedi combat, of course.

Seriously, I'm going to be sooooo disappointed if Ep III doesn't have an awesome space battle.

Spartans rule!
