People weren't on their phones when they saw the Stormtroopers let the rebels get away from the death star so they could track them, heard one rebel say "they let us get away from the death star so they can track us," and then spent 50 years joking about how awful stormtrooper aim is
It's a good thing there's like 12-15 different scenes with stormtroopers who can't aim in the original trilogy then.
That’s just covering fire to cover for the first instance
And then Disney made the joke canon because of the algorithm.
to be fair all action movie baddies do have garbage aim despite being the scary powerful elite squad militia or something. i hate this trope so hard.
And Tarkin telling Vader, "You're sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship? I'm taking an awful risk, Vader. This had better work."
