Accuracy of Sandpeople vs. Imperial troops
Not defending Lucas' BS here, but I've always understood the "accuracy" statement to mean "what they were aiming at" rather than "how well they shoot". It is this way, even in modern shooting styles. You can be precise and still not be accurate.
i.e. try to stop an Abrams tank, it'd take a person extremely experienced to do so with a few rifles.
In this instance, Sandtroopers would know what to shoot to take down any large mechanical object on the planet their assigned based upon years of experience and training.
Sand-people, on the other hand, would just guess and shoot. Hitting whatever they felt would disable the machine. Therefor, it'd take a trained troop of stormtroopers 10-15 shots to stop a sand-crawler, whereas a group of sand people would take 100 or so shots to have the same effect.
Maybe I'm justifying Lucas' BS here, but I'd just never been able to criticize this part of our argument.
