Ah... Oh... I'm terribly sorry, sir...
It's the Rebels...
They're um... here.
I don't know what they want, but they've got a flag.

I still liked stormtroopers more when they weren't just so many clones of Boba Fett's dad. You'd think they'd pick someone to clone who could shoot straighter...

Fetch the nets!
He'll never make it past the electrified security grid.
We'll need to capture him alive in order to extract the memory chip from inside of his brain. The Rebels must never about the single secret flaw that could destroy my all-powerful Death-Spork.

Wonder Clive, Wonder Clive.
All the world's waiting for you,
and the power you possess.
In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights
And the old Red, White and Blue.
Wonder Clive, Wonder Clive.
Now the world is ready for you,
and the wonders you can do.
Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth.
Wonder Clive,
Get us out from under, Wonder Clive.
All our hopes are pinned on you.
And the magic that you do.
Stop a bullet cold,
Make the Axis fall,
Change their minds, and change the world.
Wonder Clive, Wonder Clive.
You're a wonder, Wonder Clive.

"Andromeda" had a great plot aside that explained why all the people in sci-fi land are such bad shots... Apparently, by the time the series is set, all weapons fire "smart bullets" that steer towards their target, which is how people on the ground with the space equivalent of an AK47 can strike clusters of sparks off the rear end of a rapidly departing space ship etc., and nobody ever looks along their sights to actually aim. But, everyone who expects to be in any sort of firefight carries a small ECM device that shifts the bullet's image of where they are slightly to one side or the other, causing them to miss. This has the unfortunate side effect of making the bullets hit and kill any minor characters they met on the latest pre-industrial planet they landed on while letting the heroes always survive. Simple, really, once it's been explained to you.
