Star Wars Memes

There's gawd damn laser swords, I'll rationalize anything else I need to.

It's still real to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvd3aEsThbc

Or people are too dumb to understand decent writing. The storm troopers destroyed the rebels in the opening scene. They killed almost every fighter in the battle of Yavin. The only time they didn't perform well is when intentionally letting Leia escape. Sure there's plot armor, but there's also an explanation for a lot of it.

Or maybe you don’t understand the difference?

Clone troopers were highly trained and sometimes specialist trained clones of jango.

In the other hand, storm troopers are human “recruits” that are trained by suboptimal clones or left over clone troopers.

They are entirely different armies that were parts of mostly entirely different wars.

It's sad that we don't really get to see Stormtroopers at their peak outside of that one scene on the Tantive IV and that Disney nu-canon has essentially embraced the meme of them being inaccurate.

I think the way the story is constructed clashes with the way movies are filmed for entertainment. We are explicitly told that the Stormtroopers are a force to be feared, and shown that exactly one time, but the narrative requires a bunch of nameless faceless mooks for the heroes to mow down during their action scenes because that's more entertaining, so the Stormtroopers fill both roles and it gets muddled along the way.

As for the Tusken sniper who took out Teemto on the podracing circuit, I'd chalk that up to a lucky shot. There were a few of them shooting, and it was a target rich environment, an he was the only one to get nailed in the engine and suffer a catastrophic failure despite it being a multi-lap race.

I'm no star wars nerd, but if it's midiochlorians, then they're everywhere already.

If the Jedi isn't using/communing with them, it just blends into the background noise.

So when they went into hiding, they went to cities where it got lost in the noise, or incredibly isolated where one Jedi still wouldnt register on a planet wide scale even if it's Yoda.

Like, as long as they weren't in the space version of a subdivision, they wouldn't stick out. It had to be one extreme or another.

The ahsoka novel actually partly covers this. Ben basically went into some form of deep meditation for decades.

They spend a lot of time practicing to expand their mind and feel the Force. It's probably not too hard to figure out how to go the other way

Sith have been doing it for eons.

but all of them are the bad guys (although the separatists weren't necessarily that bad, especially compared to the empire)

Reminds me of my time playing Rising Storm 2, having a mosin (long, obselecent bolt action rifle) and taking way more than 8 shots at passing helicopters. I nailed a pilot in the head from pure luck and he commented on how cool/bullshit it was
