I know its kinda late saying this but......
I don't post here much but rest assured i have found a surfire way to escort those buggers back to the village. Once you kill all the Sith guarding them Hits CTR+O to open options, go to controls and then check OFF the box saying "Character runs by default" or something to that effect. This will allow you to walk instead of running. The next thing you want to do is target the villager so you can see how far away they are. As you start to walk away they will follow at about 8-9 meters from you. If you ever happen to get past 13m they will stop and wont follow anymore which can be a real pain whn you hit a slope or a canyon. So if you hit a really high slope hit prone and crawl up it. It take a long time but I have complete 4 in a row by doing this.
Just a little tip for last minute people that need this mission

Turning off the run by default works well but you can get more than 13m ahead of them. You can run atleast 30m ahead and then walk and they will catch up. The furthest i have been away from the villager was 80m when going up and down the hills. If the get stuck just go back and use the radial menu to select follow me and he presto you are back on track.

By the time of my 10th escort mission (twice for alt), i was actually having fun. Once you get the basic strategy down of killing the sith, it's like a stealth mission to get them back. You have to constantly check your radar, know which creatures are most likely to attack and which you can still get close to even if they are red on radar. On my last mission, i had to thread the needle between a lair of enraged rancors on my left and nightsisters on my right. Stealth is fun.

I honestely don't know why people have so many problems with it....
I did the quest both with a MRanger/MCH and a TKM/Smuggler...
Ingredients:
* kill the sith
* talk to the villager
* do NOT run (turn autorun off)
* keep the villager targeted (! so you can see at what range they are)
* head back to village
* don't let the villager get beyond the 120m distance... So stop at 110m and wait for the villager to catch up...
* keep an eye out for aggroes, however, in both cases, I have not found any NPC going to attack the villager...
* i managed to fullfilll ever rescue missions talking to whip even when the villager was over 90m away from me...
