    Is the caption ragebait, invoking Cunningham’s law? It’s neither Schrödinger’s nor a dilemma, it’s a reverse irresistible force paradox.

    Please don’t mention that pedophile more than necessary, his cat’s fame is more than enough.

    Stormtrooper’s only miss main karakters, the redshirt would be killed off to show how dangerous the empire was

    I mean, the redshirt is there to show that the protagonists are in actual real danger. Just like the stormtroopers managed to hit every nameless rebel soldier on the Tantive IV they should be able to hit redshirts with incredible precision.

        That and a strong force affinity makes it harder (though not impossible) to get shot, kinda like a pathfinding “way of least bullets” direction.

      Excluding clone-troopers and only in live acted Star Wars, Stormtroopers (sometime from off screen) have hit:

      1. All kinds of rebels on various planets in “Andor”
      2. A whole bunch of rebels in “rogue one”
      3. A bunch of rebels on the Tantive IV
      4. Leia (with a stunner) on the Tantive IV
      5. All those poor Jaws, plus Luke’s family.
      6. The hull of the millennium falcon (to no effect)
      7. A bunch of rebels on Hoth
      8. C-3P0 in cloud city
      9. Luke’s lightsaber blade in cloud city
      10. Leia on endor’s forest moon
      11. R2D2 on endor’s forest moon
      12. At least a few ewoks on endor’s forest moon.
      13. Din Djarin’s beskar armor
      14. A bunch of other mandaloroans and extras
      15. Some of those turtle-riding aliens in a distant galaxy in “Asoka”
      16. A bunch of innocent villagers on Jaku
      17. Poe’s parked X-wing (to great effect!)
      18. Poe in the arm
      19. Rei’s lightsaber blade a bunch of times
      20. The hull of the millennium falcon (again, to no effect)

      I think stormtroopers are more effective than Klingons, federation red-shirts, or the borg.

    The stormtrooper is female … she fires, misses and nearly kills the redshirt … reshirt recovers and the stormtrooper is so overwhelmed with grief that they become close friends … after a six month relationship, they get married and a year later have a child … the child turns out to be a half human half wookie … the birth severely complicates their marriage

      The half human-wook child grows up vengeful that their parents were both throwaways by their respective leadership. The child becomes the next emperor and destroys the Federation.
