A Family of Stormies

I intended to look a couple things up on the Internet about whether there is such a thing as a female Stormtrooper so I could make fun of those stupid bows, but instead I discovered two of the funniest Wiki pages ever.

First was Wookieepedia: The Star Wars Wiki, which has a staggering 98,000 pages on it.  I'm going to be honest...I was way too lazy and frankly uninterested to read the super long article about the history of Stormtroopers.  I did, however, catch one sentence that said that members of the Rebel Alliance SpecForce (whatever that is) use slang terms for Stormtroopers, such as "Bucket Heads" and "Stormies". And then I laughed.

The other website was Villains Wiki. The site says this about the "Stormies": 

• They are noted for having poor aim. Despite their professional military training and noticeable combat effectiveness against less important characters, they are incapable of seriously injuring or even hitting the main protagonists. They also appear unrealistically vulnerable despite their armor, falling down, apparently dead, from a single shot to the shoulder or abdomen. 

I'm no Star Wars expert, but that sounds about right. Let's get real -- if any of them were a remotely good shot, Darth would have been running that show with no problem.  The ratio of Stormies to Luke Skywalkers was approximately four billion to one, yet somehow they dropped like flies at the mere sight of Mark Hamill.

So why would someone want to portray themself, their spouse and their children as nerdy villains with poor military training and plastic heads, you ask?  Great question, fellow sticker family hater. I have no idea.
