It's not Darth Vader's fault that Stormtroopers can't hit anything with their blasters.

The cake is a lie.

What I never understood is how Ben Kenobi was so far off when he said that "only Imperial Stormtroopers are that accurate" when they found the shot-up Sandcrawler in Star Wars. Those guys couldn't hit the broadside of a barn - what was Kenobi talking about?!?!?!!?
I think Ben was talking about how accurate the Storm Troppers are compared to Sandpeople. If that is true, how bad of aim are Sandpeople? No wonder they attacked Luke with a Bantha Stick and didn't shoot him.

sandpeople don't even use blasters.

How long had it been since Kenobi had been around Storm Troopers, though? Perhaps he didn't realize how the bureaucracy and corporate attitude of the Empire's middle management had diminished their training.
