3:13 I can say that this is actually incorrect, something a lot of people still fail to understand is that the stormtroopers are not bad at aiming, they are well trained and good soldiers. The reason why they missed every shot on the death star was because Tarkin ordered them to so that Leia could escape from the death star and lead the empire to the rebel base. This was said in the movie. In the end, the stormtroopers ARE precise, just Disney ruined them.

[@Lips0fDeceit]

Fr idk why people still think stormtroopers can't aim Disney literally only made them doofuses to get laughs

[@5353Jumper]

Also there is the thing that the force may be assisting some and hindering others. Like in the Rogue One scene "I am one with the force..." where they all miss him as long as he has his faith shield. And people like Luke, Leia, and even Han may just know when to duck or when to jag a bit to not get hit due to their force intuition. "The force is strong with this one" also goes a long way towards "this one is hard to hit".

[@wilhelmhetrick8948]

That is the reason. Stormtroopers are excellent shots when not shooting at main characters. But it doesn't make sense in the first place for the elite of the Empire to be bad shots. They are highly trained before they even become Stormtroopers, and they do constant training after they're basic training is done.

[@nlrenzo9432]

That could be tho

[@nlrenzo9432]

Would be cooler if they made it a sandtrooper

[@FNLastname]

I believe its actually from the fall of the empire, and when bibba took over. he was prob one of the few survivors that they caught and 'punished'. this is also apparent since you saw them 'installing' the bucket heads on spikes shortly after boba gets out. remember, they had to restore order after jabba got chocked out by a bikini clad lady. so bibba separated the districts. so its very likely that is also the case. also stormtrooper armor is made of plasteel, which is good at absorbing blaster bolts and distributing the effect to the rest of the body, usually incapacitating the wearer over killing them. it is very poor against everything else. so it being melted, but still mostly present is because of its poor chemical resistance. i think that trooper was 'killed' more recently.

[@dobbysboggart6883]

​@@FNLastname ... Boba fell into the pit BEFORE the Empire fell.

[@FNLastname]

@@dobbysboggart6883 this is true, however, stormtroopers exsist, even after the fall of the empire. the question should be raised as to how long boba was in the pit for. since the sarlacc has the interesting ability to keep things inside alive in a mental coma-like state while it slowly digests them.

[@WardenWolf]

Good premise. Another thing to remember is the Sarlacc has tentacles and can grab things that get too close to the pit. The stormtrooper didn't necessarily have to fall in; he just got too close and was grabbed.

[@girl1213]

Well...remember this is the Pit of Carkoon. It didn't bother pulling Lando into it, just holding him to keep from getting away, because it was used to Jabba "throwing" food straight into it. So while it could have just pulled the trooper into it, the falling seems more accurate just based on the fact the sarlacc was used to being fed this way. The thing wasn't exactly starving either. So either or.

[@InfinityOrNone]

In Obi-Wan's defense, the Tuskan Raiders use slugthrowers, not blasters. So when he's talking about the blaster marks, he might be saying that the sand people are inaccurate with blasters because they are too adjusted to the supersonic ballistics of a slugthrower instead of the slow-speed, seemingly-linear, non-ballistic trajectory of a blaster.

[@FNLastname]

when the script was written, all gun-like weapons were blasters. it was later in other books that classified 'projectile weapons' as slug throwers. I don't even think any movies or shows used the term slug throwers, I could be wrong. also, sand people have a general distrust with technology that is not of their own. which is why they dont typically use blasters, or speeders. they are seen as primitives because of that, but their history tells them that technology is what lead to the loss of the water on Tatooine (which is sorta true, but not canon for the rakata empire, yet)

[@eeveeofalltrades4780]

Well, Obi-Wan *does* have a history of saying things partially without explaining them and leading to confusion about the real meaning.

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

"slow-speed hitscan" I don't think you know what hitscan means.

[@InfinityOrNone]

@@xxfalconarasxx5659 No, I do, I just needed a usable bit of terminology that people would be familiar with to describe the non-ballistic trajectory taken by blaster bolts. I could have elaborately described the qualities of blaster bolts as following a purely linear trajectory (with respects to local conditions and not to a non-planetary frame of reference) and a relatively slow rate of travel along this same trajectory, but it was just easier to compare them to a hitscan weapon in an FPS with a delayed particle effect.

[@FNLastname]

@@xxfalconarasxx5659 i agree, they don't. they should have used velocity or speed. a hit-scan is basically a ray cast, or a vector 'laser' that reports the detected hitbox(s) in videogames (mainly). so, using a hit scan for a semi-physical laser blast is silly.

[@davidsirmons]

I think everyone forgets....when you fall into the Sarlaac pit, you don't die. You're still conscious, are aware, though more like a half-awake, lingering dream state, and you're in agony as it both feeds from you and keeps you alive for a millennium after initially connecting its tissues and circulatory system into your own. The storm trooper isn't dead; any other captured beings in the Sarlaac's belly would likewise be not dead (unless having died before falling in). Further, as I understand it, there is no filtering of atmospheric gasses in a stormtrooper's respirator, only particle filtration. Not sure where they got the idea they needed such a plot device, but it's not correct as far as I know. If anyone has clarification on this by legitimate sources, let me know.

[@JacobL2006]

The stormtrooper probably starved or something like that to death

[@davidford1564]

Anyone who has been deployed to a theater of operations can tell you that there is a difference between marksmanship and combat accuracy. Shooting the track of a sandcrawler only takes marksmanship. Shooting someone who is also shooting at you is an entirely different situation. In a real firefight, most of your shots will miss with rare exceptions.

[@snipedude4953]

A story in Tales from Jabba's Palace, just before Jabba's barge reached the Sarlacc some Stormtroopers where pursuing a character and ended up being devoured.

[@velhaw8737]

Republic better, prequals better then the OT lol

[@markthompson7846]

I read that book

[@chasekemp4982]

I don’t think Kenobi was talking about the stormtroopers accuracy with a blaster but their precision at where they targeted the sand crawler. The sand people would not have the same knowledge about machines as the stormtroopers would.

[@girl1213]

There's also the fact that the Sand People don't have animosity towards the Jawas in the same capacity as they do with humans. Sure, they don't like one another, but Jawas don't attack their villages, and there's nothing in a Sandcrawler that the Sand People find useful or significant. So they are civil towards one another and tend to just avoid each other.

[@hatuletoh]

I always took Obi-Wan's "only Stormtroopers..." quote to have referred to where the hits on the Jawa crawler had been placed. In other words, Obi-Wan was saying, "this vehicle was shot up by someone who knew where and how to hit it so as to disable it. The hits are centered around critical parts of the machine. Sand people don't have that kind of technical knowledge, and wouldn't have known how to have focused their shots on the delicate parts of the crawler; therefore, Imperial Stormtroopers." It's still kind of an excuse for the line, but it makes sense in-universe that an ancient old sand crawler could keep the Jawas safe from the random, hit-and-run attacks of the local Tuscan raiders, but wasn't sturdy enough to stand up to a coordinated attack from modern weapons wielded by people with the knowledge of how to exploit the machine's weaknesses.

[@niina83]

Even more so after The Book of Boba Fett, where we see Tuskan's utter confusion when they are introduced to some speeders.. (to which they proceed to bonk with sticks and tools) Neither did the Mandalorian know what to do when one took off with parts of his ship. He actually climbed it in desperation after his blaster didn't do any damage to it's hull. So yeah, i'd agree with it being Imperial Stormtroopers with data on those crawlers that used heavy blaster cannons or some explosive charges to focus on the tracks of the crawler.

[@davidkanengieter]

That's how I always understood it as well, they knew where to shoot to stop the crawler

[@johnnyblacklaughingcoffin406]

but to be fait its Plot Armor in the Movies and Stormtroopers are some of the most Precise Shooters and they can definitely hit crazy shots if not for Plot Armor

I’ve heard of a story from legends where a patrol of Stormtroopers chased a little girl who was residing on the planet to likely inquire about the missing droids.

[@SnakewithaGun]

Long as there is a fuel source. Burning whatever it touches. It'll create it's own oxygen. Plus the fuel used in the flamethrower would not need oxygen to work. It may be that air inside the digestive track of a sarlac might be acidic and nearly impossible to breath for too long before slipping into a coma from CO2 poisoning.

So, it forces the obvious conclusion that the trooper was there for the sole purpose of advancing Boba's storyline.

[@jaron788]

Possible rebuttals to claims though: 1) stromtroopers are accurate as heck, it’s the gear and helmet, this was stated and shown multiple times throughout rebels, novels, etc. 2) the tuskens are inaccurate, boba had trained with them and became one with them, thus improving their accuracy. In episode 1, the tuskens have absolutely 0 aim while shooting at the racers, only hitting 1 shot on Anakins podracer in the back although there were like 8 tuskens and it was an open track with multiple podracers on it. Of course, anything is subject to change and it’s up for interpretation, just my thoughts

[@frsstyy2225]

Storm troopers have incredible aim, but we normally see them against people with plot armor

[@FormulaFox]

Obi-Wan was not lying about Stormtroopers. 1) At the point in the movie that line is given, we've seen the Stormtroopers as nothing less than ruthlessly effective. 2) The Stormtroopers are under orders to let the group escape the Death Star after they spring Leia. 3) Stormtroopers as portrayed in the original trilogy are considerably MORE accurate than real-world soldiers. Also, the main characters having plot armor makes sense in universe. Every time the Stormtroopers become unable to hit the broadside of a barn(discounting the Death Star escape due to reason #2), there is a Force sensitive character in the group, and we know Force sensitives can sometimes influence the world around them without knowing it.

It was more obvious in Ep. 8 when 2 Stormtroopers waiting on their speeders outside the town to receive confirmation to enter after snatching the baby Yoda. They tried to shoot at a target close range to stave off boredom and both of them missed horribly. When IG11 suddenly showed up, one of them, out of reflex action, took one shot at IG11 BUT that was also a miss and the droid wasn't even 15 feet from the trooper.

[@DONOTAPROACH]

u forgot that he would be tourtured because you are kept alive inside the sarlacc

[@owendoll2983]

This entire video boils down to “well, there were no stormtroopers on Tatooine in Return of the Jedi, but we did see them on Tatooine in A New Hope.” In the business, we call that “reaching.” Also if that stormtrooper has been in the Sarlacc’s stomach since before Return of the Jedi, then how does his little floopy respirator work after being drenched in acid for potential weeks?

[@bill9068]

This is honestly the best content we've seen from disney so far for sure.

[@MrGeekFreek]

It was Stormtrooper Gary.

[@waterbears9874]

I seriously just wish storm troopers would be taken more seriously in star wars

[@jimriver912]

What I wonder is who is next to the stormtrooper, we clearly see something that doesn't match both the sarlacc colors and the stormtrooper and it was probably there for a reason. NEED MORE SARLACC FLASHBACKS

[@willwaggenspack6411]

I think the whole first episode should be him getting out of sarlac

[@Tores444]

I never took the storm trooper aim thing serious because just cause the literal heroes of the story don't get shot doesn't mean others dont

[@KraytTheGreat]

"Stormtroopers can't hit anything" Rebels on Echo Base and the Tantive IV: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@joerogers9626]

It's Finn. He defected, flew a TIE, crashed, got lost in the desert, fell into the Sarlacc and over the course of x years went delusional with thirst, hunger and lack of oxygen, confused Tatooine for a place called Jakku, dreamed up finding people, a girl, flying off world, wielding a lightsabre, fighting a war with those rebel terrorists Han and Leia he'd heard so much about in briefings. As the Sarlacc consumed him the dream became a nightmare. The Death Star destroyed in an ocean, the emporer dead and exiled to a world no one had heard of. A jedi master drinking blue milk from the tit, ghosts that could touch things and people surviving the vacuum of space. Eventually, it fades to black. The rebels win. Finn is the ultimate third wheel in his final moments in trippy dreamland. The Sarlacc has its way. The acid burns, his breath short and bones aching. He dies and with it, those dreams and that reality.

eh u dont die when you get swallowed by a sarlacc, it keeps you alive in mind numbing pain, for 1000 years

[@Trodevr]

Maybe

[@stephenwenham2966]

Are you telling me that the high tech Empire had no kind of Sat Nav and no surveys of the planet had been carried out? No one had mapped the terrain in the past. Given that the Empire was on a constant search for secret rebel bases thousands of planets must have been surveyed so no doubt a planet with a space port would surely be...Hence the Sarlaac location would be known and logged on charts.

[@pandorasflame7742]

When talking about Obi-Wan and Stormtroopers, remember that the last ones he saw when he said that were probably still clones.

[@FNLastname]

i doubt that, we will see in the obi-wan show.

[@_dinnerbox]

i love this moment in star wars so much some that stormtrooper is the best he said in new hope "look sir droids!"

[@articusramos808]

Remember ep1? They can hit those pod racers. I think it's because them Sand people hunt regularly.

[@WokStarEntertainment]

3:06 I hope you know when they(the main characters) where on the Death Star the stormtroopers where told don’t kill them

[@callen0892]

Does anyone else think that not EVERYTHING needs to be explained?!

[@iphonesans8468]

Some good old justice for underrated stormtroopers

[@estivon2464]

Due to how the sarlacc digests prey there is a good chance the storm trooper is actually alive as the sarlacc keeps its prey alive for very long times even years, so boba might have just killed this guy :\

[@vger4156]

Maybe the Stormtroopers in A New Hope, where members of the 501st, allegedly they were the best of the best. Of course, they got their helmets handed to them by Ewoks.

[@turkeybeard2010]

Probably couldn't see the pit because of his poor vision from the helmet, and or a sandstorm.

I was thinking the stormtrooper was the one from a new hope with the line “look sir, droid” as soon as I saw the episode 💯😂

I remember reading a thing before where the movies are analyzed and it turns out that STs have a higher hit ratio than US Marines lol

[@uncommonsense4084]

I think we might be finding out who the stormtrooper in the sarlaac is in the Obiwan series.

[@theyreoutthere.huntinggear]

The Sand people are so accurate they hit pod racers mid race. Anakins to be precise. And a few others they actually take down. They are master snipers you could say.

[@RickHawkDavison]

His name was John Jinglehimer smith.. 😭

[@Balthorium]

Stormtroopers need pressure suits because their Death Stars and ships get blown up so often. They just pick up survivors in space.

[@FNLastname]

actually, their armor is designed for limited space activities. its a watered down, but more general purpose armor then what the clones used. basically, it had a little of everything, because they needed a trooper force that can deal with anything, anywhere at a lower cost. specialized armors were rare in the empire. but they still existed. Keep in mind, stormtroopers are part of the imperial navy. there is still the normal soldiers that are part of the imperial army. stormtroopers are trained in a watered down version of ARC trooper training. this however was dependent on which academy they went too. but for the most part, stormtroopers are actually better trained then the normal troopers from the imperial army, which are usually just conscripts.

[@siiir1322]

[@lucasart328]

Lmfao

[@kraxusgaming9483]

honestly the stormtrooper aim thing is kind of just a meme tbh they are actually very accurate at times especially the stronger elites aka the darktroopers and what not but that's besides the point most of their inaccuracy was because they were ordered to let them escape in a new hope and also the force is a thing

[@RickHawkDavison]

Dude, your a detective.

[@i-thalhawkins9813]

They combined the desert And someone fell in !? Wow

[@vibesandstuff76]

Do we need to know this? It doesn't matter who the stormtrooper was. They were expendable. They meant nothing to the Empire. We don't need answers to every damn question or unknown in the Star Wars universe. What if he did accidentally fall in? What if he purposely jumped in because he hated his life? Either way, what does it matter? It doesn't change anything. Don't get me wrong, it's fun to speculate sometimes, but I feel like Star Wars fans can sometimes cross a line of trying to find answers to every unknown. For me, that ruins some of the mystery and some of what made the originals so much fun.

[@iamcheese4681]

It’s interesting to see theorists try to connect the pieces between plot holes in the writing.

[@Tristyn_Waterman]

I think the reason obi--wan remarked on the storm troopers' accuracy about the sandcrawler was not necessarily because of how they are good at aiming but because stormtroopers would know what areas of a sandcrawler to target in order to bring it down and those were probably the areas that took the most fire

[@MrNBridger]

There is a better question: Where are the other people that fell into Sarlacc in Episode VI?

They're probably in it's other stomachs somewhere.

That Stormtrooper wasn't dead. The Sarlacc keeps its prey alive even passed their natural lifespans and forces them to suffer intense physical and mental pain while digesting them. The process usually takes around a thousand years.

[@daetslovactmandcarry6999]

That doesn’t make sense; If a Stormtrooper searching for the droids had fallen in, the rest of his squad would have noticed and tried to rescue him, then dropped a thermal detonator down the crater (literally shoving a bomb down its throat). Further, it makes a LOT of sense there’d have been Stormtroopers on Tantooine long before Vader arrived on _DEVASTATOR._ They were the Emperor’s primry enforcers throughout the Empire, so at least a few should be found in any given system under his control. The armor “looks” like ANH era, so it’s reasonable to assume he’s a relatively new Stormtrooper (¿a decade at most?). However he got there, he did so without the rest of the Empire finding out… And that would suggest someone PUT him there fore their own reasons, but also did so without removing his armor- A neat trick all around. Liked the video anyways though. 😉

[@rjpx947]

Re: Obi-Wan's remarks in a New Hope on the Stormtroopers. Biggs remarked to Luke at Tosche that his grumpy uncle could hold off a Sandpeople raiding party by himself with one blaster. Safe to say that on similar open desert with pretty even odds, even Stormtroopers would shoot up a party of Sandpeople. Imps raiding a Tusken Raider stronghold that's prepared for them would likely be another situation. For the sake of argument I'll assume they could provide very difficult ground or lethal results via sand traps, and other use of their native terrain. In addition, Tusken snipers are going to be accurate enough to bust up the Imp attacks, as we saw their sharpshooting in Phantom Menace on moving vehicles at significant range...Imps should not be hard for them to snipe. Safer to say that Kenobi was well versed on standard Imperial attacks, having fought the Empire many times, and knew the Jawa crawler wreck to be an Imperial hit, immediately on sight.

[@ray-0249]

I think obi wan was referring to the clone storm troopers he is pretty old and hadn’t seen any storm troopers for long time so he probably had no way of knowing they recruited their troops now. “We never did get use to the NEW guys.”

[@viorelush4187]

I did wonder about this. Thanks for the video!

[@appalachianunderground8474]

I think that I’ve read that there may have actually been a small group of Stormtroopers stationed on Tatooine already in place , which explains how they had such quick access to the trained Dewbacks , one of these guys may have stumbled into the pit at some point also , awesome video ✝️🇺🇸🤙🏻🅰️
