Why did they use the Death Star and only take out a city on the two planets? Why not take out the whole planet? That is what the Death Star was designed for after all.

It was a weapon's test, and they had no need to destroy the entire planet.

What was the deal with the blind guy? He wasn't a Jedi but that dude kicked more arse than any Jedi ever so far in the movies.

Disney trying too hard to turn the force into something more spiritual than scientific.

Were all the storm troopers that could actually hit the broad side of a barn killed in this one movie? These dudes where crack shots, but in every other movie, storm troopers can't shoot for shite.

The plot armor was pretty thick on the main cast until they had to be written out, but the characters in this film are slightly above the average rebel soldier. The real answer is just that Star Wars was always considered a kid's film. Stormtrooper's look imposing, but the heroes are never meant to be in any real danger.
