Star Wars Rebels takes place 5 years before the events of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, and introduces us to the earliest incarnation of the Imperial Stormtrooper. These armor clad terrors can trace their roots back to the clones of Kamino, with ties further back to the Mandalorian Supercommandos themselves.
Though their blasters are far from accurate, it is nearly impossible to escape their numbers. Their vast legions are a constant plague for the Rebels Hera, Kanan, Zeb, Sabine, Ezra and Chopper.
