Tuskens finally take revenge for Anakin's attack, Ben sees his opportunity and blames it on Stormtroopers, Luke wipes out the Empire based on a false flag.

And storm troopers famously can’t hit the broad side of a barn, for that matter

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 18 points 11 months ago

The storm troopers were ordered not to hit the rebels, because Grand Moff Tarkin hid a tracker on the Millennium Falcon and wanted to track the rebels to the rebel base. Can't track them if they're dead. There are multiple lines of dialogue in the film explaining this.

If the Star Wars RPG, Stormtroopers are brutal and you pretty much avoid them like you would an overpowered boss battle. Same with the novels I think

It's that impenetrable plot shield those rebel scum are using.

I always thought this could be talking about the weapons, e.g. imperials had fancy well made guns that made a precise impact, whereas sand people used cheap homemade shootaz which made messy holes. No idea if that's true in lore though.

Or that they knew exactly where to shoot or put explosives to disable the sand crawler.

[-] evilgiraffe666@lemmy.one 3 points 11 months ago

Yes, better intelligence or optics. To be fair though, sand people should know about sand crawler workings right?

Wasn't the tuskan's shot a lucky hit? There were plenty of shots fired and they were treated as an obstacle in the race.

There is only one Star Wars movie.

The rest is fanfic. Huge, corporate fanfic.

Makes you wonder why a jedi master would say that.

Well... Obi-Wan's strained relationship with the truth is a plot-point in the trilogy, after all.

[-] Gnubyte@lemdit.com 5 points 11 months ago

The best part about the force is that it acts as this crazy plot armor. Ah yes this tuskan sharpshooter was able to land their shot by way of the force; it balances all things.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !starwarsmemes@lemmy.world
