That captain was dumb for letting 2 unknown people onboard his ship that is transporting an important prisoner.
On this point specifically, I think it was to point out the arrogance of the New Republic. The Empire had fallen already so, in his mind, there probably weren't that many threats around. They said that it was "an older code, but it checks out" (like in ROTJ)... so he probably thought they were some con artists... and certainly ones who didn't know how to use the Force. He had his security team with him... that should be enough, right?
