THe Empire were meant to be the best fighters in the galaxy. It could've been a white lie though, which they found out at the behest of all common sense and logic when losing to the most stupid things in the whole series.

The Elves shouldn't have been there in the first place. Though even if they were, they could have returned immediatly to Lothlorien after the battle to help their kin defeat Sauron's Northern armies.

I agree with Gothmog, the elves shouldn't have been there anyway

Hey, those teddybears were awesome, least ways to my 6 year old brain when I first saw it. Besides, they had HAN SOLO AND STINKIN' (literally) CHEWBACCA! There's no way they could lose!


But then, having Luke on your side doesn't help.

Rather, Hayden Christensen attempting to be Anakin.

@Drauglin- yes, the teddybears were awesome. :) You might find, if you haven't already seen it, the How it Should Have Ended for Star Wars VI to be amusing. One can find it on Youtube.

I've seen the LotR one, and that was entertaining but also stupid, just because I know that that wouldn't have worked.

Do not speak their name, these Gungans. At least the teddybears, imo, were superior to them.

And yes, Boba's return was highly amusing. :)

'Teddybears' are superior to nothing!

The Gungans, especially the infamous Jar-Jar are horrible as well, but not as bad as Eeewoks.

Hey give storm troopers a break, you try cloning ONE guy like a million times and see how well your millionth clone can shoot. They're lucky they didnt have an army of drooling idiots by the time of return of the jedi.

How did Galadhrim become Stormtroopers?

Clonong doesn't work like that, they are trained afterwards.

Agreed, it is said in the 2nd film that every clone trooper gets trained if I'm right.
Trained in combat tactics etc. etc.
Perhaps (if not certain) the ones suited or chosen for command are given a better training.

But we are going astray, the Galadhrim do have the "storm trooper effect".
They all die somehow warriors of unrivalled strength, and the peasants who have no training whatsoever somehow live.

The Galadhrim got the first strike and the heaviest attack, they where being swarmed and stormed at the deeping-wall. I don't know how many elves arrived at Helmsdeep, I thought it was around 700, and there where about 300 rohirrim.

The rohirrim (and I mean Theoden) was kindy cocky, he was certain that the fortress couldn't fall, let alone breached. Then the magic of Saruman breached the deeping wall and there was no holding back the uruks.

But the elves arriving at Helmsdeep is made up, and as said before it was 700 Galadhrim or an elven princess coming to the rescue (NOT!).

(here comes the nerd in me) The Stormtroopers came from a variety of genetic codes after the short lived Clone Rebellion on Kamino.

The Galadhrim didn't belong there to begin with, they belonged up in Mirkwood kicking the Necromancer out of Dol Guldor.

I dont know if u remember but the necromancer is Suron, see his is a Mairar corrupted by melkor or morgurth so he is an evil angel. Plus he had attached a huge amount of him power in the ring so he did not die he just became a weakened spirit adm fled to a sanctuary. This had happened Suron before during the days of Morgurth when he changed himself into a werewolf and fought Huron hound of omrë. So at the time of helms deep Suron had returned to his tower in mordor.

Yes, I know. I should have put the Necromancer's forces.
