Thanks to the unexpected announcement of the new game in the Gears of War saga, fans are more excited than ever to try this prequel. It will bring back two of the franchise’s classic characters as protagonists in a way never seen before.
Taking advantage of this resurgence in popularity, many fans are making all kinds of memes and jokes about these characters. In an unexpected comparison, a Reddit user talked about how certain soldiers in this franchise and Star Wars share a characteristic: they are totally disposable.
Both Gears of War and Star Wars Have Several Characteristics in Common
Having become one of the most iconic Xbox sagas, the Gears franchise has managed to garner numerous fans since its inception on the 360. These games, in particular, presented a unique gameplay design in which they implemented the ability to take cover during combat.
The gameplay, brimming with violence and showcasing remarkably unique weapons, has permanently revitalized the genre.
In a recent Reddit post, a user joked with a meme pointing out how this franchise and Star Wars have something in common with a certain type of soldier. This user highlighted how the Onyx Guard and the stormtroopers of Star Wars are practically the same.
They are both drippy as fuck too.

This is mainly due to the fact that both types of soldiers are completely disposable in combat, and the franchises have proven this time and again by showing how they constantly die.
Despite Being a Meme, This Statement is 100% Real
Obviously, a ton of users laughed at the meme, sharing their reactions and responding to the post about these two popular franchises. One user even stated that this would apply to any soldier in Gears of War who is not part of the Delta Squad, which tends to be the game’s protagonists.
Numerous fans were surprised by the number of these soldiers in all games and their rapid death in combat.
The comments persisted, discussing how the design of Star Wars stormtroopers primarily aimed to intimidate rather than significantly impact battle outcomes.
Even so, in various Star Wars series and movies, we have seen that, depending on the elite squadron presented, these soldiers could be much more valuable than they appear. For example, in games like Republic Commando.
In recent years, these two franchises have produced numerous games that are of a decent quality. As for Gears of War, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of this new title, announced on June 9.
It will take players to the origin of the conflict against the Locusts in a way never seen before in the franchise. The studio will bet 100% on terror and despair, as humans are not prepared for this battle.
