As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I play Star Wars Galaxies. Whoop-tee-do; so do a few hundred thousand other people! But anyway, there are a myriad of things to do in this game. And a hundred thousand players who never use the word "myriad", but I digress!
A good Rebel aligned player can always have fun with stormtroopers, especially the low level ones who hang around Mos Eisley. It's like a routine I have when I'm going off-planet. First I go visit the junk dealer to unload the loot I've taken off dead bodies.
(That's a topic for another blog!) Then as I leave the bazaar plaza, I draw my lightsaber and take a poke at the stormie guarding the place. And I do mean a poke! A single stab of the lightsaber, which almost always hits him in the gut, or if I'm lucky, a few inches lower.
He's usually only level 25-50, so one amazing flourish of so-cho-whatever, and he's history. Then there's one on the way to the spaceport, and one guarding the entrance to the spaceport. I also get to whack these same guys when I come back to Tatooine. It's a habit.
Hey, if I don't attack them, they'll chase me and shoot at me and I have to kill them anyway. Which is good for a chuckle, too. A stormtrooper with a death wish!
I can also walk up behind one and poke him in the butt with the lightsaber, and he'll jump. He'll attack, of course, but none of them stand a chance against a fully trained Jedi Knight.
There are exceptions, though. A level 90 stormie is tough, but not impossible. TWO level 90s are a real challenge, except you can always send one away with a Jedi Mind Clouding trick.
Yesterday, while decorating "Life Day" trees on Talus, a live-player stormtrooper came by and sneezed on me, covering me with snot. So I send him a message that said "Imperial Slime! LOL" and he called me "Rebel Scum" and told me the Empire really didn't lose to the Ewoks, that was just a nasty rumor! LMAO.
All in all, stormtroopers make great targets. And Imperial officers are even better!
Next time maybe I'll write about Gungans and their floppy ears!

This really isn't a comment about the performance of Stormtroopers in SW:G, but rather, a comment on your idea about the quote in your introduction. I think what Obi-Wan means is not that they have good aim, but rather that they know where on the sandcrawler to hit...
Great entry though! I have considered playing SW:G myself, if it were not for the monthly

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

take a poke at the stormie
Traversing awfully close to the dark side, gl. :^O What's a knight to do?

If nothing else, it gives you a chance to hone your skills. :D

Giddy, you crack me up!

Ewwwwwwww! :p Loved your retaliation, though! :^O
Glad you are having such fun with SW Galaxies. I've never gotten into it myself, but I know a bunch of others that loooove it.

There is no luck. Just the will of the Force. ;)

Hahahaha!!! That was the most random thing I've heard all day!! :^O Isn't there a Force power called "Snot Deflection?"

I know something else I'd like you to write about killing. ;) But, I shall not go there.
Someday I'm gonna get around to playing Galaxies. It seems quite the experience! I'll let you know if I'm going to be on.
In the meantime...go kill some Gungans!! :^O

The true purpose of stormtroopers is to die for our amusement ]:)
I've played a lot of Jedi Knight games, so I know what it's like to mercilessly butcher stormies just because it's fun.

I have considered playing SW:G myself, if it were not for the monthly fee.
Yes, that's a problem, but since I don't smoke, drink, subscribe to magazines or buy crap, I figure I can afford a vice here or there!

They're so pathetic when they're trying to shoot at me!
I've never gotten into it myself, but I know a bunch of others that loooove it.
If you ever start to play, let me know so you can get in the same galaxy as me!
I loveth my vocabulary!!
And I loveth the chance to showeth it off!
Ahhh...how pleasently descriptive.
Even a Jedi has to earn a living!
There is no luck. Just the will of the Force.
Ooops! I knew that! It was trick comment! :D
Isn't there a Force power called "Snot Deflection?"
There should be!
I'll let you know if I'm going to be on.

As I tell everyone, let me know BEFORE you choose a Galaxy to play in! If we're in the same one, we can play together and I can get you leveled up faster!

Yes! The question of all time has been answered!
