    That’s some pretty terrible assumption skills you got there, mate. I’ve seen stormtroopers with better precision than you.

      That’s some pretty terrible assumption skills you got there, mate. I’ve seen stormtroopers with better precision than you.

      My assumption skills? You seem to have completely missed the point the scenes in Star Wars, despite there being quite a bit of evidence against that belief. Some people just want to believe misinformation when it reinforces what they want to believe, especially if it’s funny or seems to mean there’s a plot hole or error in a film. Star Wars has plenty of those… Stormtrooper aim isn’t one of them.

      Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader have a scene discussing letting them escape, because they planted a homing beacon on the Millenium Falcon. The Stormtroopers are avoiding hitting them specifically so the Millenium Falcon can escape and the Empire can follow it back to the Rebel base. Tarkin literally says he’s taking a risk, so he clearly instructed them to let the prisoners escape.

      And that doesn’t even take into account several other comments from people through the films about Stormtrooper aim, including from Obi Wan who obviously was a General in the Republic Army and ostensibly knows what he’s talking about, and ignoring several scenes across the movies and shows where the Stormtroopers do fire accurately.

        I apologize for that. I made use of a unfair stereotype to make a cheap joke. Stormtroopers are capable, well trained military service men and women.
