Why the Empire Didn't Shoot the Escape Pod #starwars | Star Wars Explained
Report from the Holocron of Xela. Description: Why didn’t the Imperials shoot the escape pod containing R2-D2 and C-3PO? Gunnery Captain Bolvan ordered Lieutenant Hija to hold his fire because there were no life forms aboard. He made that order because, according to the book From a Certain Point of View, “Fleet bureaucrats had issued a new policy that tied gunnery officers’ promotions to their kill ratios.” That policy was created because of rebel propaganda that showed Imperials to be poor shots. So firing upon what Bolvan thought was an empty escape pod would have damaged his ratio, potentially hurting his chances at a promotion.
