nope....did ya notice that the blaster bolts in the new trilogy seem to fly faster than the old trilogy ones????.....and I'm sure this has been done...but perhaps long ago and it's always a fun thread anyways
How about Obi-Wan in the first movie stating how the Stormtroopers have such "accurate shots" but somehow cannot manage to hit anybody (except Leah in ROTJ)
Actually, there's more to it than that. The original line is something like "These shots are too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial Stormtroopers could be this accurate." And then, as is well documented, for the rest of the trilogy the Stormtroopers can't hit shit. But then, we get to Episode I. And the Sand People pick off Podracers going 600 miles per hour.
Well that's probably cos they were planning to show Jabba originally and they used some nameless fat guy in a fur coat to film him... Plus when the did add him in the SE, he was just really poorly done CGI (and it took the poor chaps a year to do that...)
Did you notice...
The term "R2 unit" is applied to all astromech units in ANH. The "red" droid that blew up when they were buying him was refered to as an "R2 unit" rather than an astromech droid...
I suppose that Obi-Wan might have meant that only Stormtroopers could hit the side of a giant Sand Crawler.
Another thing (which I am sure most people have heard of/noticed) is in Empire, why does Obi say Yoda is the Jedi who trained him when it was Liam Niessen (Qui-Gon) that did the actual training?
GEE!!! The stormtroopers didnt blow up the sand crawler with their blaster rifles (not powerful enough). They must of used a Fortress or another type of cannon (target lock and fire).
Plus as has already been mentioned, the sand crawler wasnt a moving target. Its big and not much of a target.

But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya punk?

OBi Wan is not a liar, its the truth... From certain point of view...
