“It’s not unusual to hear gunfire at a Trump rally, but usually it’s directed at chemtrails.”

Contrary to popular belief, the enemy of your enemy is quite often also a douche

Nah, a stormtrooper wouldn't have even been able to clip his ear.

One of them did hit Leia in Ep. VI.

Or was that a scout trooper?

That guy was filling in from Spaceball One, he was one of those Assholes.

Good point. They had different helmets, but close enough.

Waitaminit, if the Evil Empire wants Trump dead...

I'm so confused...

Well, the shooter was a registered Republican.

So, there's a theory that the storm troopers were ordered to miss so they wouldn't kill Luke and Leia. I definitely wouldn't put it past Trump to stage an assassination attempt to make himself into a matryr.

I could believe this lol. Of course it'd be cosplay and running from gunfire, as ya do, but ykwim.
