Everyone has heard joke that stormtroopers can't aim – but Star Wars proves that's not true, especially with Darth Vader's forces in A New Hope.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Wars's stormtroopers missing their shots has always been a cultural meme, but it's not true at all when honestly looking at Darth Vader's forces. Stormtroopers are the high-skilled forces of the Galactic Empire during its 23-year reign over the galaxy, but one might not know about their suggested skills.
Darth Vader's stormtroopers were the 501st Legion, the same group of clones that served under Anakin during the Clone Wars - but they're known during the Empire's reign as "Vader's Fist". For a group with a terrifying name and lore-testified terrifying reputation, their reputation among fans does not seem comparable.
Darth Vader's Stormtroopers Were Aiming To Miss In A New Hope In A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi describes stormtroopers as immensely precise shots when examining the wreckage of the Jawa's sandcrawler on Tatooine. The stormtroopers also demolish the rebel forces on the Tantive IV in the film's opening scene. The film takes extra steps to legitimize the threat of the stormtroopers, though they're still viewed as inept.
The Imperial leaders have a very specific goal in A New Hope: Eliminate the Rebellion, destroy their base, and keep the Death Star as the dominant power in the galaxy. In order to do so, they need the location of the rebel base, which is on Yavin 4. To get this location, they allowed the rebels to escape the Death Star after placing a tracking device on the Millennium Falcon. In doing so, they tracked the Falcon back to Yavin 4, knowing exactly where to target the Death Star.
