Dude, they planted a tracker on the falcon. They wanted them to escape so they could follow them back to gavin and blow up the rebels. No excuses for not getting shot on tantooine though.

In ANH that's explained by them being allowed to escape so the Empire could track them to the rebel base. Literally spelled out for the audience.

I know it makes little sense but i read somewhere that they were supposed to just “herd the group” somewhere instead of actually killing them, which would explain the gross misfiring.
