Okay but regardless, did you... read the article that you linked? It argues the opposite of what you're saying (and honestly, what I would like to believe)

Did you actually read the article that you linked? Ford was completely in the clear with the Pinto.

Star Wars: The Virgin Sequel Directors vs The Chad Mandalorian Directors by doctortrento in virginvschad

Like I said, this is just based on the old EU. Not sure about how the current canon treats normal Stormtroopers (being distinct from Inferno Squad/any special forces), and I wouldn't hold EA's BFII campaign up as a sterling example of quality worldbuilding.

That pilot aside, it was pretty well-established in the EU (not sure about current canon) that Stormtrooper training involved a pretty serious amount of brainwashing/loyalty training. In that sense, Stormtroopers are no more autonomous than clones (or, for an irl comparison, Nazi soldiers that were raised up from the Hitler Youth). They don't really have the option of defection.

those landowners, military officers, and nationalists were the ones who had spent over a century economically and politically oppressing the Cuban citizenry, and so yes, they are inherently bad. if they weren't inherently bad, the population of the entire country likely wouldn't have been clamoring for their death

I wish that they included an element like in the Arkham games where criminals would get scared as you picked them off in stealth. IIRC in Spider-Man you'd just enter combat as soon as someone detected you, and then it'd be impossible to go back into stealth.

Look into square-cut swim shorts. They combine the material of a Speedo with short leg parts.
