Fan Theory Explains Why the Stormtroopers Can't Hit Anything
Stormtroopers are some of the least respected characters in the Star Wars movies. Perhaps it's because of their grunt status and lack of individuality (though that was busted a little by Finn in The Force Awakens), but mostly, I think it's because fans deride them for their terrible aim. There are tons of moments in the original trilogy when the Stormtroopers are shown to have absolutely awful aim, but a fan theory has emerged to explain that it was all a giant ruse. I'd never really considered this perspective before, so I figured it was worth passing along to you.
