Expert Marksmen? Yeah....right.
This is something that I thought of while I was at work. It made me laugh.

EP.4 A New Hope.

Luke and company come across a wrecked Sand Crawler.

Luke-"Look, there's gaffi sticks, bantha tracks,...I've never heard of them hitting anything this big before."

Ben-" They did'nt. But we are ment to think they did." "These blast points, are too accurate fo sand people. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise."

Let me repeat that last bit....Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.:^O

Look at the picture. The trooper is running and looking forward, but is shooting up to the left. Do you see the problem?

He had that a bit mixed up me thinks.

I think the Empire should have recruited sand people (But since they'er specists, I guess brainwashed humans will have to do) They can hit a podracer going 500+ mph, but the "trained" Stormtroopers cant even hit a two foot ball of fur that waddles away from them.

Think for a moment, of how many kills the Stormtroopers have gotten in all of the OT. I count about 6 or 7. Maby 8. AT-AT, AT-ST, and TIE kills not included.

Bang! Bang, Bang, Bang,Bang, Bang! Bangbangbangbangbangbangbang!
(reload clip) Bang, Bang! Stormtrooper-"Target down!" "Sir, five clips wont be enough for the other two!", "Sir? Sir?" "Stang, I thought this armor was supposed to protect us from rocks and sticks."

Look, we all know what Ben meant to say was 'Republic Clonetroopers' but Luke would never have understood this...or not. ;)

I totally agree, but if the Stormtroopers were excellent shots, then all the heros of The Saga would be dead within the first 1/2 hour of ANH! Every bad guy in any movie is always a bad shot. It's a basic cinematography law! :^O

MTFBWY, and Happy 30th Anniversary!

Yeah, I find that annoying as well. (You found the perfect picture for this entry, yodabud-- too funny!)

I've always gotten a good laugh out of that video, too...:^O
