[Star Wars]What has given people the impression that the clones were terrible at aiming and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn?

It's commonly joked that the Stormtroopers can't couldn't shoot fish in a barrel... But they actually are the elite troops of the Empire, so is it some resistance PR that they can't hit anything (which doesn't make sense since if you are up against the elite, i would imagine you'd want them to know and not try to take them straight on, but to use tactics in order to preserve the strength of your troops...)

So where does this false information come from and why has it stuck so well?

Rebel, sorry, *New Republic* propaganda holovids. They gloss over the point that they were ordered not to shoot them, but to make the chase seem real.

It takes dicipline and skill to disregard their own lives in such a manner that the chase seems real. not to mention that they shoot near them without accidentally hitting.
