  • still traps you in a (admittedly slightly better) ecosystem,

    That’s wrong. It comes with SteamOS which is an Arch based Linux Distro. While it launches into Steam’s big screen mode, you can always switch to desktop mode and have all the freedom you want. Install GOG, Epic, Heroic or another launcher? Go for it. Want to install Windows on your Machine or Deck? I don’t know why, but you can do.











  • Yeah, but sand people use slug throwers.

    Though there’s no canonical information about the speed of blaster bolts, they are very slow on screen. You can follow them with your naked eye.
    You can’t however see or follow the slug thrower’s bullet that might even travel at super sonic speeds.
    Leading a target is much easier the less time a projectile needs to reach it.

    However, sand people and stormtroopers train with different weapons on different targets for different situations. So it is very possible that sand people are generally better at shooting longer ranges with high speed projectiles, taking wind speed, gravitation, coriolis effect, etc into account while stormtroopers are superior (and more precise) in hectic, close quarters situations where you have to aim and shoot quickly.

    That being said, nobody checked for continuity while making the prequels anyway. And Obi-Wan is famous for talking about things “from a certain perspective.”
