In honor of Star Wars Day, we at Task & Purpose decided to focus on one of the most important tactical lessons from the Star Wars saga: Accurate shooting matters.

We’re looking at you, Stormtroopers.

When the world was first introduced to these Imperial 11 Bang Bangs, they appeared well trained in close-quarters combat. In the opening battle of A New Hope, the Stormtroopers stack up and crush resistance aboard the ship carrying Princess Leia. They even clear a path through the corpses for Darth Vader, showing that at least one of them is a first sergeant.

From that point on, though, Stormtroopers repeatedly show that they need to spend a lot more time on the rifle range. Indeed, their technique for trying to hit the target can best be described as a “death blossom” of indiscriminate fire.
