Is It Time to Retire the Stormtrooper Variants in Star Wars?

It’s worth noting that Snowtroopers and Scout Troopers were just a few of the many specialized stormtroopers created by the Empire after the original trilogy. Over the years, numerous stormtrooper variants have been introduced, such as Shoretroopers, Death Troopers, Swamp Troopers, Purge Troopers, and more. Each new Star Wars movie, TV series, video game, comic book, or novel since Disney acquired Lucasfilm has added at least one new type of stormtrooper. While some of these additions have enriched the Star Wars universe, the proliferation of stormtrooper variants in canon has caused problems that are likely to become more complex over time.
