There is absolutely NO excuse...

... as to why Stormtroopers are such monumentally bad shots. There were plenty of times during the films that things could have gone much better for the Empire if only these white-clad retards were able to shoot straight. It's ridiculous, and they should all be ashamed of themselves.

That is all I have to say on the matter.

Cute picture Smile

My theory is that they are direct descendants of those extras that played the Indians in 1930ies to 1950ies U.S. westerns ... and adding insult to injury, some idiot moron imbecile dimwit degenerate brain-dead prop-man painted all their visors black so they couldn't recognize a death star at 10 meters.

After further consultations and detailed analysis of pictorial evidence, it seems at least possible that there might be other contributing factors:

The bottle of scotch on the night table is of course obvious, but not to be discounted.
Behind the bottle is an object which could possibly be a pack of tablets of some sort.
How is it that storm-troopers still wear standard wrist-watches? How does one keep track of time zones at the speed of light? No wonder they always show up late.
The object beside the watch definitely looks like the clip used to secure the tubes on a water-pipe. Hmm.
Regrettably, the photo quality was not very good. It would have been interesting to know who he had on speed-dial.
The most interesting detail is the bed, which seems to be a double. It couldn't be that Darth ... nah, .... but it would explain his heavy breathing ....

Insanity

But if they were competent shots, the world would've been cheated out of an awesome movie and instead would be stuck with a more realistic depiction. Now what fun is that?

That's seriously one of the funniest pictures I've ever seen.

And you're totally right! They are shockingly bad at shooting.
They are all clones of each other as well, so they share their shooting ability.
A great shame to the Empire...
