Ya, it's funny how the original republic clones can kick some serious tale in the clone wars series, and the next generation of troopers, imperial stormtroopers, act like the seperatist battle droids of the clone wars, kind of stupid and really can't shoot jack. Seems like a serious downgrade. I guess with all of the power seemingly in hand, they started getting slack and produced inferior products. Sounds a lot like the rise and fall of most ruling powers past and present in Earths' history.
