K is correct.The only reason the Storm Troopers are so bad in the movies is so that the good guys would look better. Honestly, how the hell is a farm boy, snotty princess, walking carpet, and washed up Jedi going to break out of the Death Star, one of the most guarded location in the Empire, which housed the 501st Legion no less? They wouldn't. Realistically speaking, the good guys should have been smashed in a matter of minutes.
How do you know they were "unpracticed"? I'm sure they did drills, had shooting ranges etc. And the entire ordeal had to last for at least half an hour, more then enough time to form a counter-attack.
All Military tactics, stratagies, and logic agree that when numbers, terrain, training, and equippment are all in your favor then you shouldn't lose 😬
It's typical Hollywood "Kill the No-Names by the hundreds" shtick.
Originally posted by Bruce LeeroyI'll agree with the Hollywood thing, though going by what the BF2 narrator said, who'd have a good idea of what's going on at the time, they had boring shifts and practice was a rarity. Also, there's the other missions they took part on during the same year, which they practically botched up every time.

Assumption = No Evidence.No Evidence = Your spouting bullshit.
I'm simply speculating that if you stand near a Sith Lord you won't feel all honkey dorey, unless they are hiding themselves, a la Palpatine. Did I say it was a fact? No.
But, and this is a mighty but here, to speculate might be even more reliable than counting the slim sources for this debate; the majority of which are all suspect. For instance, people have mentioned that Stormtroopers are a little off with there targeting, true, but that just the general conventions for evil henchman in Hollywood cinema. Others have given evidence taken from videogames, not the most reliable source. It's a silly debate quite frankly, and if your asking for sources prepare to reach the universal truth in the matter, your stuffed.
