I love this meme with stormtroopers, because instead of the guy in front being about to die he's in the safest possible place.

    There was a bit of fan-lore I read a while back that the stormtroopers intentionally missed because Vader didn't want them to kill his kids.. really its because it would make for bad cinema if the NPCs killed the main characters 30 seconds into their first scenes...

    It wasn't because of his kids, but as later explained (in expanded material) the Millenium Falcon had a tracking device installed soon after it was detained.

    Otherwise, consider that the Death Star could've blown the freighter out of the sky the moment it exited the hanger with its thousands of Point Defenses.
