Just noticed another ESB error.

In one scene we see Boba Fett on the bridge of the Executor, yet his ship is hiding in the garbage of the Avenger.

And just to point out again, the fact that the Millenium Falcon escapes the Avenger's attack by hiding on the back side of the control tower is one of the most ridiculous things in all six movies.

*Falcon flies past Avenger window*

4 Seconds Later....

*Falcon doesn't appear on cloaking scope*

The Millenium Falcon, could not, under any circumstances , fly past that bridge window and attach in 4 seconds. Don't you think the officers on that side of the ship would hear a strange thud? Did they bother to look out the window and notice that a large ship is blocking the view? What about all the TIE Fighters flying around the fleet? HOW COULD THEY NOT NOTICE?

And if this strategy worked so well, instead of saying "Attack those Star Destroyers at point blank range!", Lando could have suggested "Land on the back of those Star Destroyers. They'll never find us then!"

Yeah, I always wondered about that one, too. That's got to be some pretty fancy flying, if you ask me, but of course, Han is one of the best pilots around.

As for the ROTS, thing don't you think the Empire had learned it's lesson from ESB?

"Memo from Head command, watch for ships attaching on the backside."

Addendum: Did Lando know that trick? ;0

Or in AOTC, where Bobo Fett "learns" it by seeing Obi-Wan do it in the Asteroid field.

If Obi-Wan and Annie were such good friends, Vader ought to have known it as well, and had it written into the imperial warfare manual.

Han's a good pilot.

You gotta think of the overall timeline of the story...if anything, the Empire would have learned its lesson from ROTS...which took place before ESB.

[Despondent]

Not to nullify your point, but I believe he meant ROTJ, but maybe I'm wrong.

[CowboyCurtis]

Oops---Yes, you're right, I meant ROTJ, not ROTS.

[Giff]

Well in that case...all is forgiven

[barend]

maybe he just tried following the scorce of the distress of his friends, or maybe he did a google search on his on-board computer for 'city in the clouds' which turned up:
Did you mean: cloud city which upon clicking took him to http//:gww.bespin.gov.cs/lando/carbonite_frozen_meals.html

How did Luke find it?

I dunno...seems to me it wouldnt be very hard to deduce Cloud City from "City in the clouds"

great point, Giff.

Luke: "I saw.. I saw a city in the clouds."
Yoda: "Mmm. Friends you have there.
Luke: "They are in pain."
Yoda: "It is the future you see."
Luke: "the 'future so I need to leave NOW in order to get there in time, future' or the 'future where I need artoo to google map me to some unspecific cloud city' future?"
Yoda: "I've got your ship warming up."

WTF?

Sorry If I missed your mention, or forgot it, Barend. It obviously didn't bother you on January 3rd when you chimed in again in this thread, or maybe you missed something yourself.

It was kinda quiet at the time and I was hoping to encourage conversation.

But now that we're all back to work I'm sure the Eye of Sauron won't miss ANYthing.
