MrDibble:
In The Force Awakens , it’s worse - we’re explicitly told that New Order Troopers are forcibly recruited as kids and “conditioned” (brainwashed) - you can’t send someone for “reconditioning”, like Finn was scheduled for, without them having been conditioned first. But even Finn has no problem immediately mowing down a whole hangar full of his fellow brainwashed child soldiers - with cannon fire - just as soon as he possibly can. And whooping while doing it.
And he does it with the very guy who shot his buddy, the one who left the bloody hand-streak down his helmet on Jakku. Or do you think that’s something he and Poe don’t talk about?

They are all fine. They were sent to live on a farm upstate.

From WookiePedia:
Unable to find the plans on board the Tantive IV, Darth Vader ordered a team of stormtroopers to sweep the planet below to find them. Afterward, the corvette was destroyed and the entire crew was killed. Imperial propaganda, including a falsified report by the survey vessel Wide-Eyed, would later proclaim that an asteroid storm caused the destruction of the Tantive IV.
Destroyed by an asteroid storm? What are the odds?
They just come up suddenly out of nowhere, like locusts.
If only there were some way to know where asteroids will be in the future…

Can’t be done.
An asteroid the size of Texas could be on a collision course with an inhabited planet and we wouldn’t know until only weeks before impact. What chance would a small ship have?
