…of Stormtroopers. "In the Star Wars movies, the Imperial Stormtroopers' activities are pretty limited: Marching. Shooting things. Keeping order. More marching. What do they do the rest of the time? Twerk? Wait for the bus and bully battle droids like the rest of us? (OK, most of us don't bully battle droids.)
