It's because the protagonists have the FORCE surrounding them! Everyone knows that laser beams are repelled by mitoclorians.
Thursday, August 20. 2009Why I Love Wikipedia
After reading another ill-informed article on Slashdot, I came across this awesome wikipedia article in the comments.
Principle of Evil Marksmanship I especially enjoyed this: Imperial Stormtroopers in the original Star Wars trilogy, despite overwhelming numbers, professional military education and training, full armour, military-grade firepower, and noticeable combat effectiveness against non-speaking characters, were incapable of seriously harming or indeed even hitting the film's protagonists. At one point Obi-Wan Kenobi even comments on Stormtrooper effectiveness to Luke Skywalker when the pair find the destroyed Jawa sandcrawler, saying "These blast-points... Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise." In fact, at the beginning of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the Stormtroopers are portrayed as lethal when invading a rebel ship, overwhelming it and killing most resistance in what seems like mere moments, whereas later the main protagonists would dispatch many of them without ever receiving a scratch in return.
