Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Yes. Exactly that. These are soldiers, they follow the orders they're given. Indeed, they're elite soldiers. The Emperor fully expects that if he orders them to their deaths they will follow those orders to the letter and die for him.
They were ordered to let the Rebels go, while also trying to make it look like they were trying to capture them. That means shooting at them and missing, but only just missing. It means letting yourself get shot if that's the only plausible way for those Rebels to escape. That takes incredible marksmanship and incredible discipline.
Remember Obi-wan himself stated earlier in that same movie that "only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise" when admiring the evidence of their assault on the Jawa sandcrawler. Obi-Wan knows what he's talking about. And that happened first, so you can't even call it a "retcon" by any standard.
Again, this is all stuff that was explicitly explained in the movie itself.
