: A Marine buddy (an avid marksman) pointed out to me once that in all three Star Wars flicks, it has been proven time and time again that the Troopers can't hit the broadside of a star cruiser with their blasters (most noteably the scene just after old Obi Wan was cut down by Vader, and Luke screams out and the troops open fire, unable to hit anyone, least of all a kid who was just standing there until Obi Wan told him to boogie), yet earlier in that same film, Ben Kenobi points out that "these blastpoints are too accurate for Sand People; only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise,"
: Wait a parsec here--
: In Episode One, Sand Folks shot AND hit those pod racer things moving at twice the speed of sound from a thousand yards away or so.
: Had Sand People become THAT rusty in the thirty or forty years between?
: Ah, well--just felt like sharing that one, since I was rolling with laughter for a little while over it.
: Let's be careful out there.
