Loving how the AT-STs and bombers are all pointing one way and the troopers are pointing a completely different way.

You're safe when directly in front of and typically behind groups of stormtroopers attempting to engage a target. By setting them up at an angle like this, their commander improves the likelihood of catching enemies in the hollow cone of blaster bolts on approach.

Good job bois. See you back at base for ration sticks and a swift round of sabacc.

Cool visual, but I don't understand why Stormtroopers lay prone in such small numbers in a position while there's this much firepower available.

I feel like they would either be in marching formation, assaulting, or not there in the first place.

Looks like a staging area. What with how close all the AT-STs are. Troopers probably setting notional defense and then chilling until new holo orders come in.
