Stormtrooper Effect
Imperial Stormtroopers in the original Star Wars trilogy possessed overwhelming numbers, professional military education and training, full armour, and military-grade firepower. At the beginning of the original 'Star Wars' movie, the Stormtroopers are portrayed as lethal when boarding a rebel ship, overwhelming it and killing most resistance in what seems like mere moments while taking only minimal losses themselves. At one point Obi-Wan Kenobi even comments on their effectiveness to Luke Skywalker when the pair find the destroyed Jawa sandcrawler, saying "These blast-points... Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise." Despite this, Stormtroopers appear to be incapable of defeating the film's protagonists even when they heavily outnumber them.
