Note his lieutenant did the same.

 

It's a survival reaction, dude. It's like when you hear a loud noise, you naturally blink, even if you're wearing goggles.

 

He sees a ship flying at him, he naturally ducks, even though there's a deflector shield.

b) he knows the Falcon doesn't have a cloaking device but he assumes that it just disappears.

 

Umm...

 

"They can't have disappeared." ~ Captain Needa

 

Needa did not assume that it disappeared. He probably thought they went into hyperspace, as Piett then later suggests.

 

Boba was the only bounty hunter who figures it out. Not everyone can be as clever as the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy.

Why would he think they were out of range of their sensors if they were never at the end of their sensors? That is an illogical assumption. If they were able to travel from right next to the ship to outside of the sensors within a second, there is no way any TIE is going to find them. The only rational explaination was that they jumped to lightspeed, and he was responsible enough to explain to Vader personally. I'm still gonna stick with Tarkin though.

General Veers

 

Because he never did!

 

AND

 

Because of his tatics in the battle of hoth, he figured that if he placed his :atat: 's a certain distance away from each other that they could easly cover each other and he placed At-Sts in between them to further cover them (was cut from movie due to a stop film camra error)

http://www.starwars.com/databank/vehicle/atst/?id=bts

 

What he diden't know was that the rebels were resource full enough to convert Civilian Hauling speeders in to what we now call the snow or AIRSPEEDER!

 

Once he saw this tatic he quickly changed stragety an had minimal casualties 2 At-ats and 1 At-St, I think

according to movie and cut futage!

 

And well he diden't die besides!

 

BTW Great topic TK

My second choice has got to be Veers. He was another of the lucky officers to escape the Death Star. In one video game (I forgot which it is), Veers has crash-landed his shuttle in the jungles of Yavin IV, after the destruction of the Death Star. He and his shuttle crew are forced to survive in the jungles.

 

Not to mention his AT-AT looked awesome. :p

 

That would be Starwars: Force commander

He also escaped according to some other EU stuff I just don't know what!

 

He wasen't a general then!

He got promoted later!

In the original script they wanted to have Hobbie crash his Snowspeeder into the cockpit of Veers' AT-AT, killing him and bringing the AT-AT down, much like the A-Wing into Admiral Piett's Super Star Destroyer. Thankfully for us Veers fans this scene was cut, and Veers lived on to command more battles even as far into the Imperial Remnant.
