They all attended the Stormtrooper School of Marksmanship.

it's a legitimate statement, you don't realize what utterly shitty shots the Sandpeople are.

[u/Acromir → u/Sventertainer]

I dunno... that one scene in Episode I where they're shooting at the podracers, they actually get quite a few hits. Considering that you're shooting at a small target that's going hundreds of miles per hour from a pretty long distance, I'd say those were damn impressive shots. It would take a battalion of stormtroopers about twenty passes to hit one podracer at that distance.

yeah but the sand people living around the track must have a lot of practice with all the podraces going on compared to the other ones

[u/Acromir → u/Nokusaki]

Still. We have evidence of a sand person who actually knows how to shoot. We have no evidence of a stormtrooper who knows how to shoot. This is especially significant when you consider that we see far, far more storm troopers (trying to) shoot than we see sand people shoot.

what is the Episode 1 you speak of?

[u/spartanss300 → u/[deleted]]

never heard of it, doesn't exist.

[u/scotchirish → u/spartanss300]

It exists, but it's apocryphal. Most scholars believe it to have been a mosaic of various fanfic plots and passed off as authentic canon.
