4. Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi Princess Leia
Were going to one of the film-logic classics now, otherwise known as the Stormtrooper Armoury. Its been established throughout the original Star Wars series that if you hit a stormtrooper with your average blaster laser, theyre going down and wont get back up again. It doesnt really matter where you hit them, as long as you do from arse to elbow, everythings a fatal shot and nobody gets back up again. However, the Star Wars universe bends its own logic when it comes to Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi, namely when she gets hit in the arm with a blaster. Yes, by regular standards its not a mortal wound, but if were going off past experience, even being hit with a laser is enough to worry you. I suppose the only case study we have for this is the Stormtroopers, but if anything, that just makes Leias situation seem worse. After all, if you compare the two, the Princess isnt coming off well Stormtroopers are literally bred for battle and wear good armour Leia is a combatant with far less experience and far less armour. So if youre going to put money on who would survive a blast, it wouldnt be the plucky female, lets put it like that. However, Leia appears to shrug off her wound as it was barely a scratch before claiming its not that bad, really. Just to make matters more confusing, she blows away two troopers with two blasts of her own, effectively flipping consistency the bird and establishing herself as some sort super-person. Just how the hell is she able to do that? To me, its pretty confusing. She should be dead, or at least very badly hurt.
