Also I just gotta bring this up, but about movie Stormtroopers they aren't as bad as some may think. Let's see why...
ANH- After the detention area thing, the Stormtroopers were ordered to let Luke and co. go. Remember what Leia said? "They let us go, it's the only reason for the ease of our escape." Remember that the Empire wanted to find the Rebel Base, what better way to do that then to track a ship heading right for it?
ESB- Stormtroopers quickly overtook Echo Base, they took over Bespin without any citizen knowing about it.
ROTJ- They overtook that Endor strike team quickly and without firing a single shot, the Rebels were done for really if it weren't for the Ewoks. Even then during that battle, it turned around for the Rebels when Chewie hijacked an AT-ST.
Also lol those saying movie Stormtroopers can't shoot. Ok...I guess everyone just forgets these scenes here?
5:24 R2 gets blasted.
Oh and video doesn't show it, but Leia does get wounded if everyone remembers.
Also before someone brings it up about the Ewoks, take a very good look at the battle and tell me...what do you see?
I'll tell you. You see groups of Ewoks ganging up on 1 or 2 Stormtroopers in a group. At 5:06 you see at least 3 Ewoks attacking 1 Stormtrooper alone.
Everywhere else what do you see? Stormtroopers just getting knocked down before the scene switches, so how do we know what happens after? All the Stormtroopers do is get knocked down, that hardly means they are killed ESPECIALLY when their armor protects them from blunt trauma.
The Scout Troopers I will admit got screwed, but then they are riding fast on speeder bikes so that isn't exactly great for them, especially the one that drove right into rope and knocked off his bike, which the impact more than likely broke his neck considering the speed.
At 7:44 you see a large group throwing rocks at what? 3-4 Stormtroopers? When there are like what? 6-7 Ewoks up there throwing down rocks?
This isn't including the number of things going against the Stormtrooper legion(Tempest Force) such as...
1. Terrain was not suited for them at all, they didn't really know the location, the legion was just sent there to capture the Rebel Strike force which they did.
2. Chewie hijacked an AT-ST and used it against the legion, turning the battle around.
3. Rebel SpecForce Wilderness Fighters(Rebels trained for that kinda terrain, they are the Rangers of the Alliance) along with Han/Leia/Chewie were helping out the Ewoks.
