    That's also assuming it was the local garrison that got to them. Vader was the one who deployed the sandtroopers and we all know how extra he is.

    And frankly if it was Vader's troops then given how highly sensitive that data is, they also don't know if anyone has seen anything as well as Luke and the droids are gone. Meaning they could very easily have been making off to the nearest space port (which they do). Even if they saw it and didn't have the plans if anyone got to them you could get some info off of that meaning that's still a loose end. And better yet should any Rebel be coming to their aid you also have tied up loose ends with the murders meaning they can't find out what they saw if anything and you can quash anyone else reaching the plans before you do since the leads are dead.

    The Empire seemed to take a battering ram to any potential Death Star leaks in "Rogue One" by destroying Jedha city and then the entire Scarif facility, might explain why they didn't want the Lars and the Jawas around (REBELS also had them exterminate the Geonosians after their part in the project was over).. Probably would've destroyed R2-D2 had they got their hands on him.

    Kind of a weird thing about the Geonosians and Rebels is that while I can't imagine they're all bad, this is also the same species that kidnaps people and turns them if not alive into mind controlled actual zombie slaves. This is also the same race that has human bones littering the caverns leading to its actual leadership and will gladly have people tied up to be mauled by exotic monsters for entertainment.

    It's just one of those things where I'm surprised the Republic wasn't the ones to practically destroy Geonosis.

    I think it's implied that they're some sort of hive intelligence or hierarchy but it's never really explained that well, in either EU.

    The Rogue One prequel novel has Poggle and his drones briefly work on the initial stages of the Death Star for the Republic, but he and some others escape explaining how he's present with the Separatist leadership in ROTS.

    The first volume of the Vader comic also has a sad sort of coda for the Queen egg from Rebels, turns out it was a sterile Queen and she basically made her "children" out of the remaining battle droid factories on the planet.
