Star Wars is full of incompetent Stormtroopers though. I mean the Death Star was the most important piece of tech in the entire galaxy, and the troopers aboard it couldn’t kill a farmer, a diplomat and two smugglers. An old man in a robe also managed to walk around completely unnoticed by security.
Yeah but now we’re talking about two different things. Bad guys having bad aim when they shoot at good guys is standard. Having a military think and act like they are on the set of Spaceballs is just something else entirely.
I was more questioning why those trooper were posted on the Death Star to begin with. Not exactly the best guys to guard the biggest, most important weapon in the possession of the Empire. It was plot convenience back then, and I think it’s just the same today that Finn was in the right place at the wrong time. Maybe I’m wrong, but I feel like we’re praising one film, and condemning another for essentially doing the same things. TFA kind of makes bad habit of it, but they’re still kind of the same things.
