... take down the AT-ST with the cannons of his spaceship?
Those walkers are slow and AFAIK cannot shoot upwards making them ideal targets for aircraft (spacecraft) air strikes.

It's too much of a risk to have the AT-ST targeting his ship.

Exactly. We don't know what kind of antiaircraft capabilities they have. While it doesn't appear they can aim their guns too close to the vertical, they could certainly fire at his ship on the way in, while he was trying to close the distance. Just sustaining real damage on that backwater planet would be a problem. No industrial base to speak of, trying to get your ship fixed in one of their little towns or villages would be next to impossible.

Not sure that would be better than the trenches they dug.

What would've made way more sense is not starting a fight with anyone during their little mission. Just stay outside in the dark until they found the AT-ST. Then throw the bomb in it and run.

May try to hijack it too. That village could use a giant guard.
