A gun that blows up fighter jets in a single shot doesnt need to scratch a man because Star Wars.
Yes, i can easily get behind this logic.

The guns on an X-Wing are approximatly 15ft. long high powered laser cannons used to vaporize enemy fighters, as shown 5 seconds before same gun hits a trooper in the chest and causes him to stumble backwards and fall over with his upper body fully intact.

I prefer to think the storm trooper was just absolutely liquified inside his armor

Has anyone mentioned that the stormtrooper in the fancy gold armour and cape is played by a woman? Because I'm pretty sure that is making certain people piss themselves in furious anger.

Also, he stole a TIE and crashed in the desert. And I don't think you can actually fly those without the breathing stuff on the pilot uniform but it might have been changed in the new models.

He's actually pretty fit, he just has a weirdly thick face

Also he's black and that is white genocide

Tie Fighters and X-Wings duking it out in atmoshperic environment is pretty much causing parts of my brain to shut down, which on the other hand might come in handy during the movie...

You think TIEs and X-Wings can't operate in an atmosphere?

Jek Tono Porkins was the resident expert on strafing in red squadron, and brought this skill to bear during the battle of yavin by running interference strafing turbolaser towers to distract from the trench runners. His hubris in his belief as an expert strafer is ultimately how he was killed when he flew to close to an exploding turbolaser tower and was struck by debris, destroying him.

In a world that deems X-wing cannons being only slightly lethal vs infantry totally fine, this concept is close to perfect.

The x-wing laser hits the ground in front of the stormtrooper, and rubble strikes him/her knocking him/her over. You can tell because the x-wing's left (pilot's perspective) canon shoots before the right canon, and the explosion from the right canon is clearly visible several feet in front of the stormtrooper. The left canon explosion would have to be even further from the trooper, with the blast obscured by the white armor.
