Stormtrooper Syndrome 

A syndrome that’s identified with the symptoms of poor aim with a weapon (usually a gun), poor situational awareness, borderline useless tactics (such as not staying discreet), and 20/100+ vision (poor vision).

Basically the list of symptoms Stormtroopers suffer from Star Wars and is usually used to describe someone in a video game or in Laser tag.
This kid is so bad at Laser tag that he must be suffering from Stormtrooper Syndrome.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy 

Where any and all villains go to learn how to shoot. If they attended here, their shooting will inevitably be terrible, e.g., they will hit everything but their target.
Your shooting is terrible!

Hey, I went to the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy!

Stormtrooper Aim 

To have such horrendous aim that you are entirely incapable of hitting your target no matter how hard you try, similar to stormtroopers from Star wars.
Player 1: Bruh your trash is so aim you cant hit NoobLord69 you absolute bot.
Player2: Sorry, I have stormtrooper aim.

stormtrooper effect 

In movies and film, the tendency of the hero's shots to hit more, and the enemy's to hit less. Summarized as:

1. The more outnumbered the heroes are, the more the enemies will miss.
2. The more impossible and desperate the shot, the more likely it will hit.
The stormtrooper effect in action:

Watch Star Wars IV: A New Hope. The stormtroopers really can't hit the broad side of a barn, can they?

Gimli in Lord of the Rings III: Return of the King:
"Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?"

Stormtrooper

1) A soldier from Star Wars. This type of soldier wore white armor vaguely reminiscent of the human skeleton. The Stormtroopers had many different versions of armor, ranging from forest troopers to desert troopers. The Stormtroopers were commanded by the evil Empire.

It is rumored that all Stormtroopers are clones, remnants of the great Clone Wars.

2) Stormtroopers are considered, within the storyline of the movies and other fan works, to be extremely precise when shooting. This theory is disproven to the audience /many/ times over. The characters never seem to figure it out, though.
1) Random Stormtrooper picks up a part, and holds it up for his commander to see. "*click* Look sir. Droids. *click*"

2) Obi-Wan, pointing at a blasted hull of a transport: "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise"
