Safer? How? They are just droids, they can,t do anything to him. It was a
backwater Imperial planet, no need to destroy equipment they can use and
save the Empire a credit or two. They might have had useful information no
the Rebels too.

Ah,yes, but R2-D2 has his number on him, remember? Also, Vader and threepio
had had a run-in before then, on alderran I think. C-3PO was working at a
party, and thought Vader was a new guard droid. :)

Well, yeah, he just shut them down so they couldn't warn Luke and Leia.
