Why is Princess Leia the only main character who gets shot by the otherwise aim impaired Storm Troopers?

We all know that the henchmen and underlings can never seem to aim straight when they start shooting at the heroes - not even when they're as big as Dolph Lundgren - but in Star Wars, the Storm Troopers manage only twice to successfully shoot a main character, and it happens to be the same main character: Princess Leia. Leia gets shot down while making a run for it in the opening of A New Hope (it was only a stunner shot but it probably still gave her a headache) and then in Return of the Jedi Leia gets shot in the arm during the Endor battle. Although Han, Luke, Chewbacca, and even Lando take some abuse, they never get shot by the Storm Troopers.

Does that strike anyone else here as being not kosher?
