or just allowed themselves to be taken by tractor beam. the empire is quite stupid. for example, the whole story would have come to an abrupt end if they didn't:

Soldier 2: Hold your fire, there's no lifeforms aboard.
Terry: Hold your fire? What, are we paying by the laser now?
Soldier 2: You don't do the budget Terry, I do

Not only that, the protocol droid in TPM could tell what a jedi knight looks like without even seeing their faces, they can tell the storm troopers to kill all the jedi, Darth Vader and the Emperor couldn't kill Obi-wan or Yoda but, Obiwan managed to get away with "these aren't the droids you're looking for."

How about when the falcon hid in an asteroid field? Or how the ewoks took down the storm troopers? Or when an assassin couldn't kill Padme despite being a shape shifter?
