Well the "Star Wars: Behind the Magic" CD-ROM it states; (not verbatim, but
close enough) that the Empire belived the 'Rebel Blockade Runner' was a
massive ship with enough firepower to defeat several Star Destroyers. They
discovered that it was merely a Corvette when Lord Vader capture Princess Leia.
Conflicting offical sources are kind of annoying as the movies do not really
provide any clarification. I do not recall a lower canon source such as one of
the expansion novels ever refering to a Corvette as a 'Blockade Runner'. If
there is such a reference then the Empire is silly for overreacting about the
'Rebel Blockade Runner.'
