I rule out the possibility of some photograhpic or filming error because, after all, this is a $M Lucas production. I noticed in the scene at the beginning where DV comes down the platform of his shuttle (the most obvious scene with this so called rain) that there was a lot of venting gasses eminating from the shuttle. At first I assumed that what I was seeing was some residue of these gasses but they persisted in a more wider angle shot. It somehow didn't quite fit. Return of the Rain When the big E comes on board there's some more of the rain as with DV but again the effect just doesn't seem to have proper continuity. Maybe it is something to do with the force, some sort of eminance to instill a sence of fear into the hearts of the stormtroopers already waiting at attention in the cavernous landing bay.
