I don't recall any stormtroopers getting taken out by arrows. Blasters, all the time, so their argument is still valid, but I don't remember arrows... In fact, I thought they specifically showed arrows bounce of them, but maybe I'm thinking of the ATSTs

I don't know, the government treats the average soldier like complete shit, before, during, and after their tours. I really don't think the government will be able to count on the military. The various police forces? Oh yeah. Stormtroopers on call.

Have to disagree with Star Wars.

Without the massive appeal the series built, this movie wouldn't get many good reviews at all. The plot is an insane jumble of random events and plotholes that should have been embarrassing. To enumerate a few:

1) Randomly Melennium Falcon happens to be at the right place, right time (I can buy this, barely, because it's fun)

2) Before they can even have a full conversation (something the filmmakers seemed determined to avoid, even though, as this list shows, dialogue can make riveting cinema) HS and Chewie burst in. I could buy into this, if not for the rapid-fire pace of these events, as it is it just seems random and things are starting to get silly.

3) Before THEY can even have a full conversation not one, but two gangs HAPPEN upon the group, for no reason, except some executive was apparently worried about giving the audience a moment to reflect and MAYBE develop some connection with the characters.

4) Kylo Ren kicks ass. He's the only Force master EVER to stop a blaster bolt mid progress. He's got some serious juice!

5) Kylo Ren can't fight his way out of a paper bag (a bag named Finn) narrowly winning the fight and merely wounding the otherwise fairly useless ex-stormtrooper.

6) Kylo Ren is BEATEN by some chick with no training whatsoever! (Don't get me wrong, I like Rey, but the good guys are SUPPOSED to be weaker than the bad guys, and what's the point in Jedi training if she already kicks Evil's ass? )

7) WTF is up with this whiny Emo? He is, bar-none, the worst villain of the entire SW series thus far. It's not surprising that they defeat him, he's so useless, what's surprising is it takes them so damn long to beat his whining Emo shitty-at-lightsaber-duelling ass.

IMO the whole film was a hot mess that reeked of far too much studio interference which turns artistic vision into "more explosions!"

In summary, and this is totally true, my ten-year-old son, who loved the first 3 SWs (I won't let him watch the prequels) when asked what he thought of it replied, "Too many explosions." This is the mediocrity paradigm of big-budget Hollywood films at it's pinnacle.

I was at a drugstore the other day and they had a 12" stormtrooper doll, and I really, really wanted to buy it. I didn't in the end because they'd decided not to put a pricetag on it so I didn't know how much it cost and it was the sort of thing that might be $10 or might be $40. I didn't care quite enough to find out.

It would have looked pretty cool on my desk at work, though.

I'd buy into the whole 'Stormtroopers can't aim for shit' except in episode IV, when they attacked the Jawas and tried to make it look like Sandpeople, Ben Kenobi problaims "Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise." http://www.moviequotedb.com/movies/star-wars-episode-iv-a-new-hope/quote_29886.html

Okay, I'll be that guy.

Actually, by the time of Episodes 4, 5, & 6 the technology of cloning from Jango Fett's DNA had been lost. Most of the stormtroopers at the time of Episode 4 consisted of human recruits (as evidenced by their various heights, weights, and voices in the movies). Hence, the stormtroopers' lack of blaster accuracy cannot be attributed to cloning degradation.

Dude, the Stormtrooper are clones. Did you ever make a copy of a VHS copy? They're always shittier than the original.
Bobba Fett > Stormtrooper

I won't defend this particular cop's actions but damn there's a serious bias against cops on this site, and in the media generally. It's approaching zeitgeist levels. Guys, they're not all fucking power-tripping stormtroopers. News isn't news unless it's bad. Yes, speak out against things like this , but get a grip.

But... where's the dance off with the stormtroopers?
