Can a Star Wars Blaster Bolt Be Dodged?

"Our favorite heroes in a galaxy far, far away always manage to dodge the blaster bolts of their foes. But could a human actually dodge the blasts of these weapons or are stormtroopers just really bad marksmen? The MythBusters put some extra science into science fiction to find out! ..."

I never saw a single person "dodge" in Star Wars, and I think it was universally agreed upon by children across the world that "Bad guys can't shoot good".

Did they really need to build a fucking set for that?

"Bad guys can't shoot good".
Agreed. It's simulated danger to keep the action moving.

That's called dressing the set, and when you have the budget, spend it! TV is all about the visuals.

It was a Stars Wars episode #2.

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

Okay, I'll be that guy.

(assumes Comic-book guy from Simpsons voice)

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.
