Personally I suspect that there was a scene that never made it.

The Emperor:
"Send in a elite stormtrooper battalion to capture those rebels."
Commander nr 1:
"Emperor we only got reserve battalion nr 27 free."
Commander nr 1 gets fried by the Emperor's force lightning.
The Emperor to Commander nr 2:
"Get me that elite stormtrooper battalion!"
Commander nr 2:
"Yes, Emperor!"
Commander nr 2 (that still wasn't able to get anything more than reserve battalion nr 27 free):
"Hmm, getting fried or send down reserve battalion nr 27. What to choose? That mission should be so easy that even reserve battalion nr 27 can't fail."

That makes so much more sence.
