Well, they failed at that, Tatooine had a high anti-Imperial sentiment.
How so? I mean, other than a few farmboys, why would population of Tattooine be concerned with the Empire. Not like they gave them any trouble or anything.

The inhabitants of Tatooine dont like any outlanders.
There really wasnt any good reason for a coverup by the stormtroopers, and it would waste their time.
Speculating and looking at this like a murder-mystery, who then had a motive to make Luke think it was a stormtrooper coverup ? Obi-Wan maybe, who forsaw the need to go to Alderaan with Luke ??   Did Obi-Wan have a secret partnership with the Sandpeople ?

Not exactly that, but Tatooine, specifically Mos Eisley and maybe Mos Espa, were filled with people on the run from the Empire. Former journalists, runaway slaves, Intelligence agents disillusioned by Palpatine, dissidents, persecuted, etc. All with warrants on them.

I agree that the troops used "any means necessary" to find the droids, even though they were long gone.

That was totally stellar. I never knew Beru liked to drink and fight.
and when the stormtroopers finally find "Duke", he's blowing up their battlestations and turning their darklords.

Maybe the Dewbacks could breathe fire. Yeah right they probably just blew it up. I have to read that story in the Mos Eisley Cantina book now.

The Lars homestead was destroyed for the same reasons as the Tantive IV and the Jawa sandcrawler: No one who had even temporarily had custody of the stolen Death Star plans was to be left alive, on the off-chance that they had accessed them.
