[Star Wars: A New Hope] "There goes another one." "Hold your fire, there's no life forms. It must have short-circuited." Wait, what? Another one? How many escape capsules were jettisoned from the Rebel corvette Tantive IV? What happened to the other ones?

Once it was clear that the battle was lost and the Empire was going to take the *Tantive IV*, any rebel soldiers or officer near an escape capsule made an attempt to flee. 

Despite Vader *specifically* ordering that capsules not be fired upon, in case the rebels attempted to flee with the plans to the Death Star in one, an over zealous officer instructed the gunners to shoot down these capsules in a blood lusted thirst for more destruction. 

It was only when an unmanned capsule was detected that the officer finally lost interest and decided not to bother destroying this last one, although it did not save him from a damn good force choking when Vader found that he'd shot down a bunch already.
