Cuco: Comments should be disabled for this country. Racists are upset that there's a black stormtrooper in the new "Star Wars." Eddie: Don't tell them about Obi Juan Kenobi.
I find the whole saga of “Star War” ridiculous. I mean in the opening scene of the first installment in 1977 there was lots of shooting by the stormtroopers yet none of the bullets fired hit their targets. Come on now you would think that in the future there would be smart bullets. Miniaturization would provide guidance and target acquisition features. Yet the same old bullets were fired as in the 1800’s. But that Star Wars episode has to have been way, way in the future to have galactic space travel and spaceships that can go as fast as the speed of light. Obviously, I am not the only one to have noticed this: “the stormtrooper effect,” a common cliché in action movies, was named after these soldiers and their poor sharpshooter skills when encountering major protagonists.
