Why don't troopers just use the stun setting against the Jedi?
>>
they forgot
>>
>>63149972

Jedi can block bolts, so they can probably more easily block huge rings.
>>
>>63149972

They can block stun. Ahsoka does it in the clone wars.
>>
>>63149972

Propably the stun isn't very strong and only works against people without trained magic powers.
>>
>>63150131
but they cant block blasters?

technically, is this the only time in the entire trilogy that a stormtrooper has ever made a direct hit with his weapon on a main character?

He could do it

>>63149972
I think it was Darksaber (The Hutt Death Star story) in the EU, that established that actually brought this up.
Jedi actually CAN'T block it, so if we accept that canon, then t's because everyone were dumbasses.
OR, the Stun Setting didn't exist until after the Clone Wars, and your run of the mill Stormtrooper just had no idea that Jedi can block blaster bolts, and didn't think to switch it to Stun.
>>
>>63150360
Darksaber isn't canon anymore though, but Season 5 of clone wars is. So Jedi can in fact block stun
>>
>>63150360
>on, then t's because everyone were dumbasses.
At least this is consistent with the rest of the series.

Leia gets shot in the last one on the arm
>>
>>63150218
They shot Leia in the shoulder, but seriously. This is like criticisizing the Nazis in Indiana Jones for not hitting Indiana. Or the super advanced Borg in Star Trek for not assimilating the Enterprise every single time they met.
Sure, statistically it makes no sense that it wouldn't happen, unless they were grossly incompetent, but then you'd have no story.
So luck was on their side.
But since Luck doesn't exist, the Force willed them to miss so Luke can convince his father to throw Sheev into the pit and fulfil the prophecy.

>>63150400
The EU never was canon. Stop this meme.
I just brought it up, as "if we accept it", which is entirely based on your head canon.
Didn't know about the stun thing in Clone Wars though, so sure.
>>
>>63149972
Why didn't they use an M16?
>>
>>63150537

there are projectile weapons in the SW universe and they are known to be more effective against jedi than regular blasters tho they kinda suck against everything else
>>
>>63150588
Why? Rebels Never wear armor.
Plus in reality rail guns would BTFO lasers in space. Bullets are great but put them in zero gravity and they're 10x worse.
>>
>>63150218
Luke gets shot in the hand on jabbas raft

midichlorians

>>63150661

Wasn't a Stormtrooper, though.
>>
>>63150131
not canon.
>>
>>63150254
Yeah but could a jedu do it ?
>>
>>63150254
Vader was so based in that scene
>>
>>63152570
clone wars show is one of the few things considered canon now
>>
>>63152570
clone wars is canon faggola
>>
>>63149972
I never got how Lucas was concerned the fantastic Death Star explosion wasn't fancy enough yet he never did anything about this effect.
>>
Why don't we see Sith using the mind trick as often as the Jedi?
>>
>>63154694

Palpatine uses it in every scene he is in on everyone around him.
>>
>>63154694
Because that power goes more into masking their force sensitivity from the Jedi and corrupting those around them slowly over time.
