| TROOPS | comment |
TROOPS is a 1997 Star Wars Fan Film by Kevin Rubio, considered the Trope Codifier — if not the Trope Maker — of the genre.A dual parody of Star Wars and the reality show COPS, the short film follows a squad of Imperial Stormtroopers as they patrol on the desert planet Tatooine. It boasts professional quality costumes and special effects, and hilariously puts a couple of major incidents from A New Hope in a whole new light.Some of the cast and crew followed it up with a sequel series, I.M.P.S.: The Relentless, released in 2005. | |

The Cameo | |
| TROOPS / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Boba Fett is seen, during the opening titles; however, he does not appear in the actual episode. When Captain Bach stops to question some Jawas, the droid the Jawas have is Tom Servo, from Mystery Science Theater 3000. | |

| TROOPS / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: This film basically turns two horrific offscreen massacres from A New Hope into simple law enforcement jobs gone horribly wrong. | |

| TROOPS / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: The Stormtroopers, to an extent. It would seem they were not responsible for the massacre of the Lars family. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| TROOPS / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: At one point, one of the Stormtroopers, exasperated by the bickering between Owen and Beru, grumbles that "I could just shoot these people." | |

Not What It Looks Like | |
| TROOPS / int_52d1f46e | comment |
Not What It Looks Like: The short humorously puts two horrible massacres from A New Hope in a new light. The Jawas weren't massacred on purpose by Stormtroopers on their hunt for C-3PO and R2-D2, they were shot at when attempting to flee law enforcement, since they stole Imperial droids and supplies. The sandcrawler was also destroyed for that reason. Stormtroopers didn't kill Owen and Beru. Beru went crazy, took a crate full of thermal detonators from one of the Stormtroopers and detonated it, and Owen attempted to stop her. It didn't end well. | |

Minnesota Nice | |
| TROOPS / int_917bed8a | comment |
Minnesota Nice: Captain Jyanix Bach, who speaks with a thick Minnesotan accent in an apparent parody of Fargo. He becomes an Affably Evil subversion of the trope when he guns down the Jawas. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Averted, hilariously enough. The Stormtroopers surely don't miss the fleeing Jawas. | |
