Stormtroopers are the elite shock troops of the Galactic Empire in the Star Wars universe, known for their distinctive white armor and unwavering loyalty to Emperor Palpatine. In 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,' they serve as the primary ground forces used to maintain control across the galaxy. Their role is to enforce the Empire's rule, suppress resistance, and protect key Imperial installations. Though individually not the most skilled soldiers, their strength lies in their numbers and the fear they instill in those who oppose the Empire.
