Funny Star Wars thing

Ok, here's something that always amused me. In the original trilogy, Obi-wan says that the blast marks on the sand crawler couldn't be Tusken Raiders because "Only Imperial Stormtroppers could be that accurate." As we all know, for the rest of the movie it is proved conclusively that the Stormtroopers couldn't hit a Bantha at point blank range.

And then, in Episode 1...the Tuskens are picking off Pod Racers going 600 mph. hmm...

it's a big pod 😉

But yet Obi-wan thinks they couldn't hit a SANDCRAWLER. 🙂

well, stormtroopers should be looking and acting menacing, but if they could actually hit, Luke and hte others could never have survived the trilogy

True. And that would suck. I just found the whole thing amusing.

it fairly is
the same with the emperors "legion of his best troops" which get killed by ewoks

But the ewoks are a crack fighting force!

I'm kidding. Really. Put that blaster down...

hahaha reminds me of a sceen in spaceballs. I could just picture the Emperor looking down from the death star... "wtf Ewok's!! who the hell is in charge down there".

Vader replies "An @sshole my master"

"I know he's an @sshole but what's his name?" askes Sidious.

"that is his name sir, Commander 1st class Phillip @sshole, he's in charge of our troops down there" states Vader.

"what?.. who put that man in charge?" askes Sidious

"His cousin, general A. @sshole"

Sidious: "well no wonder we're getting our ass kicked by a bunch of teddy bears, I'm surrounded by @ssholes"

🙂

ok, my two cents, what obi-wan meant was that the blast points accuratly targeted mechanical weaknesses in the sandcrawler, not that they hit the target. as for the ewoks killing storm troopers. the troopers are clones and are therefore ependable. somewhere along the line, palpy decided to cut costs and gave them their crappier, cheaper, and weaker modern uniforms, their strenght is in numbers, not stamina

you're kinda the serious type aren't ya Mr, Jello 🙂

Seems that way.

they're clones from the best bounty hunter there was at the time, someone who can kill a beast (forgot the name, that green-red beast of AOTC, with horns) with one shot! surely they can hit a few walking teddybears than!

Yeah, but they're dumbed down clones. Not only have they removed any chance of free will or independent thought, but by the time of the OT the source hasn't been around for 20 years. The clones would get understandably diluted by then.

😄 Hmm another thing Tusken Raider guns shoot high velocity projectiles not blaster shots...

True. They dont shhot laser bolts. Oh and the stormtroopers, according to EU and which they surely did anyway was using a Laser Canon to destroy the sandcrawler, some thing big with a lot of fire power. They didnt use their little blastechs to destroy it. A few good shots of a Floating Fortress and everything turns into nothing.

They didnt use their little blastechs to destroy it. A few good shots of a Floating Fortress and everything turns into nothing. So targeting is much easier, because it uses a computer.
Finaly the stormtroopers did well to kill all the rebel fleet troopers on the Tantive IV and the rebels at Hoth (blizzard force snowtroopers).

the other thing with endor is that the scouts might be human infantry, not clones at all

Ignore my first post. If someone could delete it please. sorry.

Yeah I noticed the Stormtrooper accuracy thing too. I was wondering a similar thing about the Scout Troopers in ep VI. The scene where Wicket W. Warrick (the Ewok) goes and jumps on the speeder bike and all the guards go and follow him, leaving the door unguarded. That was stupid on their part.

Oh and yerss the green-red thing with horns is called a reek.

technically, we don't know that all the stormtroopers are clones yet. 3 will answer if thats true or not. I just figure new armor equals new generation and some humans mixed. That one commander guy Vader talks to on the Tantive IV was in a stormtrooper suit later, so apparently some could be human.
