The storm troopers were ordered not to hit the rebels, because Grand Moff Tarkin hid a tracker on the Millennium Falcon and wanted to track the rebels to the rebel base. Can't track them if they're dead. There are multiple lines of dialogue in the film explaining this.

I always thought this could be talking about the weapons, e.g. imperials had fancy well made guns that made a precise impact, whereas sand people used cheap homemade shootaz which made messy holes. No idea if that's true in lore though.

The best part about the force is that it acts as this crazy plot armor. Ah yes this tuskan sharpshooter was able to land their shot by way of the force; it balances all things.
