The joke about the stormtroopers is that they are terrible shots and can’t hit anything. They have the main characters hopelessly outnumbered throughout the original movie, yet no main character ever get hit, while the stormtroopers get hit by the dozens. Also, white armor at a paintball match. And, this is a strip about geeks, so a certain level of pop cultural geek knowledge is reasonably expected from the target audience.

They’re precise when they’re not shooting at heroes.
