^Also the Stormtroopers didn't "miss wildly". In the opening scene they gun down and capture most of the Rebs we see. And while in the Death Star chasing our heroes, well, as Leia says- "They let us go. It's the only explanation for the ease of our escape."
And Boba Fett wasn't working for the Empire in their search for the droids, he was busy working for Jabba lookin' for Han.
The Stormtroopers are only Boba clones if you accept the prequels and Boba was only on Tattooine at the time if you accept the SE.

Really, it’s just refreshing to see Star Wars speculation that’s not about the new trilogy.

No, it's still stale to hear silly speculations based on the PT and SE.
