Trivia[]
- One famous Stormtrooper was FN-2199.
- They appear in almost every Star Wars game.
- They appear to derive their name from elite German assault troops during WWI, who were referred to as "stormtroopers".
- Contrary to popular belief, Stormtroopers do not have poor aim. This is shown in the beginning of A New Hope when Stormtroopers are taking Tantive IV with little to no effort. When Luke thinks that the sandcrawler was attacked by Tusken Raiders, Obi Wan comments that the blast points are too accurate for Sand People and that only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise. When Luke, Ben, Han and Chewie arrive at the Death Star and rescue Leia, the Stormtroopers were ordered to deliberately miss the heroes while shooting at them so the Empire could track them to the rebel base, indicating that Stormtroopers are actually good marksmen.
