It's not even a fight; it's a sacrifice. God you people are bad at watching Star Wars.
This post reminds of how a small pet peeve of mine is when people joke about stormtroops having poor aim based on A New Hope. In the opening scene, the stormtroops annihilate the Rebels; the only man they lose is the first one through the door, which makes sense. Later, Obi-Wan
correctly identifies that the blast marks on the Jawa's barge are from stormtroopers, because they are so precise and accurate. Finally, we have Darth Vader
explicitly state that he was letting Luke and Co. escape the Death Star because they had installed a tracker on their ship. The stormtroopers were supposed to be scaring them off back to the Falcon.
Then some people toss that out the window for "LOL, they can't shoot." I feel like if that movie were made today, the director would throw in even more dialogue with some thing like:
Officer: Have those troopers taken to extra training. Their shooting was inexcusable.
Vader: No. They were following my orders.
Officer: But they never landed a single shot.
Vader: Yes. I told them to intentionally miss all of their shots in order to direct the Rebels back to their ship.
Which is all information a viewer can easily surmise by just watching the original film. Leia even later correctly guesses that their escape was too easy. It's all there in the film.
