Darth Vader's stormtroopers boarded the Tantive IV and engaged the rebel vanguard in a firefight, facing off against Princess Leia's personal cadre of veteran troopers.
This video tracks kill to death ratio, showing stormtrooper ability when fighting non heroic characters and rebels who lack 'plot shields'.
Additional casualties not accounted for in the video:
00:56 2 rebel bodies on the ground, killed off screen
01:01 1 stormtrooper body on the left, killed off screen
Increases tally to 3 dead stormtroopers and 12 dead rebels
The fighting continued for a short while (off screen), until Leia was captured and the remaining rebels either surrendered or were killed.
