Condensation

I'll have you know, we are comparing the rank and file of the Empire to the "heroes" of the Rebellion. In practically every case where it's disposable Stormtroopers against disposable Rebel Troopers, the Stormtrooper win; in fact, they don't just win, they win easily. A prime example is the opening scene of A New Hope. The Rebels were holding a choke point where only one Stormtrooper could get through at a time. In theory and in history, such a position could be held by half as many rebels against twice as many enemies for a long time. Instead, the rebels take more casualties than the Stormtroopers do before easily forcing the Rebels to retreat. Throughout the rest of the battle for the Tantive IV, the Stormtrooper continue to easily stomp the rebels. Then on the Death Star, they take a noticeable dip in quality, only for it to be revealed that they were ordered to miss on purpose, and allow the rebels to escape.

Well... this escalated quickly.

And that's not all!!
You can count on me to blow any joke about Stormtroopers way out of proportions.
