Have you ever saw the men in white armor and said to yourself "They are all the same." 

Actually these troopers are very different from each other. Not only in armor appearance, but in physical appearance, background story, quality of training, effectiveness, and even political difference. For the sake of story telling lets talk about each trooper in chronological order of who is who and how the trooper in Star Wars evolved.  

For The Republic! ( The Clone Trooper ) The ones who do hit their targets!

Background of Clone Troopers:
The Clone Troopers were the main body of the military of the Republic in the Clone Wars. However, Clone Troopers didn't start off as the main military body for the Republic. They were made in secret and ordered from Jedi Master Sifo Dise. Their creation started in between the movies Episode 1 and 2. Obi Wan Kenobi hunting down the bounty hunter Jango Fett discovered the secret army and was revealed to him that about 200,000 Clone Troopers were made with 1 million more on the way for the Republic. The Clone Troopers first battle was on the battle of Geinosis coliseum after the battles a 3 year wars started called The Clone Wars.

The Clone Wars:
 The Clone Wars Lasted for about 3 years and this also included the Jedi order to be shoe horsed into the military and lead the Clone Troopers. The Clones had different battalions and were marked by their different coloring regarding which battalion they belonged to as well as which Jedi General they fought with. The Clones had many battles and they won the war against the massive threat of the droid army. In the end due to Darth Sidious' plan and manipulating the government in the galaxy the clones had this thing called an inhibitor chip implanted in their brains ( Mind control chip ) and were given the famous and devastating Order 66. This meant all clones who were on the good side, turned on their Jedi leaders and killed them with a surprise assault.  After Order 66 Clones became the first and official Storm Troopers.

Training: ( Clone Trooper Training and Physical Appearance ):

Physical Appearance: 
Each clone trooper was exactly identical and looked exactly alike another clone trooper, this made manufacturing easier for armor creating as well as identifying friendly and foes. Clones were bred to be in top shape soldiers who can battle in any physical environment and they had many different factions of military that were trained for different purposes. Clones were also given accelerated aging meaning that a clone who was 10yrs old was really 20 years old to normal humans, however due to their accelerated aging their training was alot more intensive than normal soldiers. Clones had increased reaction time and endurance to last longer and react quicker than most soldiers.

Training: Sense the time of birth each clone is born and divided into separate pods or factions and they would grow up with each other as a company. Clones would learn battle tactics and team work at a young age and train extensively as effective combat soldiers or whatever field they are in. Clones were also trained by infamous and deadly Mandilorian Warriors as well as the galaxies deadliest Bounty Hunters ( Including Jango Fett himself ). This was top tier training for clones that normal humans wouldn't stand up to the physical or disciplinary demands of the Clone Core. In short because of this training and for comparison 1 Basic Clone Trooper = 7 Basic Imperial Storm Troopers. The clone troopers among all other troopers were the most effective soldiers in the entire galaxy and in Star Wars history.
 

Transaction from Clone Troopers to Storm Troopers: 

The soldiers changed sides completely after Oder 66. After The Clone Wars and the fall of the Jedi and Republic, The Empire was the new rule now and the military changed from Clone Troopers to being Storm Troopers. The Clone Troopers who were in the Clone Wars and bred from the cloning facility joined in Storm Trooper ranks and that is what Storm Troopers were at first, but eventually the Clones stopped filling the Storm Trooper Ranks due to the creators of the cloning facility rebelling against the empire. After a battle at the Kamino cloning facility and the downfall of the Kamino rebellion normal humans were being put in ranks of the Empire.

Storm Troopers:  For The Empire! ( The ones who miss targets)

Normally the Storm Troopers get a bad rap for how much they miss, but there are many theories as to why they miss their targets. However, in normal circumstances Storm Troopers are actually quite effective.

Background of Storm Troopers: 
Clone troopers initially started the Storm Trooper core and were the first to fill the ranks. After a Kamino uprising the Empire destroyed the cloning facility on Kamino thus ending the Jango Fett clone templates to continue in the Empire.

The Storm Troopers:
For the first 20 years of the Galactic Empires rule the Clone Storm Troopers held the universe in an iron fist, but later as the Clone Storm Troopers started dying off due to old age ( Accelerated Growth) the Empire started the recruitment of normal human beings. After normal humans were enlisted in the ranks of Storm Troopers the quality of military effectiveness drastically dropped when comparing them to their Clone counter parts. The Normal Storm Troopers trained at academy that had similar type of training like the clones, but not on the same effectiveness due to humans not being able to live up to Clone expectations in training. However, the Storm Troopers enemy was now anyone who decided to rebel against the Empire. Later on after the fall of the Empire a faction would break off and proclaim themselves as The First Order.

The battle against the Rebellion: 
Storm Troopers were often at times battling against the rebel alliance who was made up of many entities of humans and aliens along with the task of hunting surviving Jedi from order 66. Though the empire held order for the first 20 years, due to the lack of sympathy that the Galaxy had to the Empire many places would normally revolt against the Empire causing constant military demand. Eventually after many battles and death of Dart Sidious and Darth Vader the Empire would fall.

Training and Physical Appearance: 

Physical Appearance: 
Storm Troopers were just normal individuals, it could be men or women in the ranks.

Training: 
Storm Troopers were often sent to Storm Trooper Academies and trained to be effective soldiers, but quoted from Commander Cody a formal Clone Commander " These soldiers are not what they used to be ". Most Storm Trooper cadets were demoralized due to being trained by fear rather than hope, taught that strength in numbers was better than strength in tactics. Storm Troopers were not encouraged to be better than other piers, but merely be equal. Thus having a effective army, but only due to great numbers and competent leaders. In the end Storm Troopers had poorer training, but they were effective combative soldiers against other normal human paramilitaries like the rebellion. In short again 7 Storm Troopers = 1 Basic Clone Trooper.

Transaction from Storm Troopers to First Order Storm Troopers:

When the second death star was destroyed on Endor that is when the fall of the Empire began, and because the Empire was failing a small faction broke off from the Empire and became The First Order.


Long Live The Empire! The First Order ( The better storm trooper)

Background of Clone Troopers:
Breaking off from a failing Empire and under the command of Supreme Leader Snoke, not much is entirely known about First Order Troopers other than they originated from the Empire in the Outter Rim Planets.

The Reemergence of the Empire:
 In Star Wars: The Force Awakens we are introduced to the new villain order called the First Order. The group is fighting against the new and restored republic in the galaxy and their mission is galactic conquest and control the galaxy again and restore an empire once more.

The Battle against the Resistance: 
After using Star Killer base and destroying a vast majority of the republics military strong holds, the First Order suddenly shot up in power and started making alliances with more corporation type military providers. This gave the First Order not only military power, but stability in supplies. During the fall of the republic bases again the First Order started taking control of planets again and occupying them once more

Training and Physical Apperence:

Physical Appearance:
First Order Troopers followed the same template as Normal humans filling their ranks. 

Training: 
The First Orders troopers were much like the Storm Troopers of the Empire just really a little better trained and more extreme in their belief. Much like a Storm Trooper Academy, the difference was that the First Order kidnapped children from areas and trained them in secret to become a better paramilitary. In short First Order Troopers were worth 3 Normal Storm Troopers.

In the end though they can be similar, but the quality and training made big decisions in the Galaxy. Each faction of trooper are vastly different in a much more in-depth analysis. 

In fact here is a short list of best to worst: Clone Troopers, First Order, Empire Storm Trooper.

If you want to see that more in-depth analysis or check out who is better out of who check out these two other youtube vidoes from The Stupendous Wave as well as The Lore Master.
