Tuskens finally take revenge for Anakin’s attack, Ben sees his opportunity and blames it on Stormtroopers, Luke wipes out the Empire based on a false flag.

And storm troopers famously can’t hit the broad side of a barn, for that matter

The storm troopers were ordered not to hit the rebels, because Grand Moff Tarkin hid a tracker on the Millennium Falcon and wanted to track the rebels to the rebel base. Can’t track them if they’re dead. There are multiple lines of dialogue in the film explaining this.

If the Star Wars RPG, Stormtroopers are brutal and you pretty much avoid them like you would an overpowered boss battle. Same with the novels I think

It’s that impenetrable plot shield those rebel scum are using.

I always thought this could be talking about the weapons, e.g. imperials had fancy well made guns that made a precise impact, whereas sand people used cheap homemade shootaz which made messy holes. No idea if that’s true in lore though.

Or that they knew exactly where to shoot or put explosives to disable the sand crawler.

Yes, better intelligence or optics. To be fair though, sand people should know about sand crawler workings right?

Sand people used banthas to get around. Sandcrawlers were used by Jawas. Not sure if you knew that or not.

Wasn’t the tuskan’s shot a lucky hit? There were plenty of shots fired and they were treated as an obstacle in the race.

There is only one Star Wars movie.

The rest is fanfic. Huge, corporate fanfic.
