Some friends of mine and I had this theory that the basic Stormies can
only shoot well if they aren't a planet. They couldn't shoot two guys, a
girl, and a piece-of-fur on the first Death Star (it's round, therefore it
qualifies as a planet as far as this theory was concerned). They only
managed to shoot 3PO in Cloud City. They couldn't shoot teddy bears on
Endor. They did, however, do a decent job of pasting the Rebel Fleet
Troopers on the Tantive IV...which was in the belly of an ISD, neither of
which are shaped like planets.
Non-standard troops, on the other hand, did not suffer this limitation
(perhaps it's a prereq for promotion to elite units?), as the Sandtroopers
very efficiently erased a Jawa tribe, the Snowtroopers mowed down the Echo
Base Troopers, and the Biker Scouts did a decent job of holding their own
against one Jedi Knight and one Force-sensitive.
Guys whose faces you can see were never addressed in this theory, so
I'm not sure where Death Star Troopers and Imperial Officers fall into this,
but Death Star Gunners obviously rank with the non-standard troops, as they
never missed a planet that they shot at.
