The Trope Namer excuses on the wiki for it does have a good excuse for the first Star Wars movie. The idea that the Storm Troopers are treating the hero's with Kid Gloves so they can find the base would explain why they always missed there.

my comeback is the heroes didn't do much better a job at shooting. also in obiwans words a sandperson is far less accurate than a storm trooper. kinda says alot about the tuskans doesn't it? considering the best shot they had was to clip a pod in episode 1 (and it wasn't even the heroes)

I seriously think the trope should be renamed "Stormtrooper Effect".
