The sad decline of the capabilities of the 
empire stormtroopers (contrast their effective
capture of the ship containing Princess L. at
the start of SW with their inability to overcome
a bunch of dwarf teddy bears at the end of RotJ)
must surely be due to the same ecological disaster
that lead to the decline and fall of the Roman
Empire, namely lead plumbing (only here it
was not only the leaders, but also the troops).
