As we know the crew stole these troopers armour and used it as a disguise. But what happened to their bodies? We’re not shown any evidence that their bodies were disposed before take off, so what actually happened?plus did Han actually kill them or did he shot them unconscious (idk) ?
Was just curious if this is an undertaking that has been done before, if not maybe this can be a community mission of this sub to count?
In ANH, Obi Wan looks at the blaster marks on the Sandcrawler and says “These blast points are too accurate for Sand People, only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise”.
In TCW series, the Clone soldiers are extra lethal and well trained. Especially certain legions (the 501st and the 212th).
In Rebels, we see Cpt. Rex is still the deadly soldier he was when he was younger.
In TFA we see the recruitment process of the First Order Stormtroopers which is a continuation of the Empires recruitment process. Kidnapping young children and training them up from birth to be deadly soldiers. Essentially the same process as the clones (with an extra decade or two).
In conclusion... there is plenty of evidence to show that the Stormtroopers are deadly soldiers with precision accuracy. So why do they appear to miss so much? My theory is that they choose to miss. Just like Finn in TFA who has regrets, I think a lot of the Stormtroopers have souls and feelings still. They understand their orders but they choose to execute poorly in order to maintain their conscience.
Alternatively, it could be Vader ordering the troopers to avoid casualties to whatever degree possible. Even if it means taking a blaster shot. This would mean Vader knows the importance of the Rebellion in taking down Sidious and he is choosing to (not help) but be less of a hindrance.
I haven’t put a ton of thought into these theories, so please criticize any plot holes! Hope you enjoy the read!
Edit: a lot of people are saying an easier explanation is “The Force”. I don’t disagree at all, but I like to explore and discuss deeper alternatives. Second Edit: added spacing for an easier read! (And some fancy formatting)
