The minions and mooks of major villains are almost certainly not getting paid enough to put up with the sort of things that PCs tend to do to them. They really should be spending most of their time just trying to get out of the way of the various weapons and spells being slung in their direction. Try playing them that way once in a while for a change.

Also, Luke's sword gets extremely close to Chewbacca in this scene.
