but thats not really the point. the point is that Yoda never really leaves (or tells Luk) to leave) Leia to die which is what you said. And if Luke had stayed and completed his training there might not have been any need for another hope to be present. I mean, if this 'other' existed from the beginning why didnt Ben and Yoda just start training them both and have them fight Vader and the Emperor together, would have made it a lot easier. maybe they know more about the situation than we do.
I never continued any idea bout the Star Destroyer and TIE fighters landing. I said that the radar might not be able to distinguish (or maybe it was broken, i mean much as I love the ship, the Falcon is a 'hunk a junk') between the two. read the comment and it never even says that a ship had to currently be on the planet at the time, just that even if they were (both, just one, or none) maybe it couldnt differentiate.
there were at least a couple ships flying around, plus if han sees a blip on the radar he's supposed to assume it belongs to the Empire who he was more than convinced that he left wondering what happened to him. I mean, he's in a mining city, it could be any number of transports. plus if you go by your time line the shuttle would most likely be landing or even landed at that point so not be in range of his radar. plus floating city, access from all sides? maybe they came in the back door.
Imperial shuttle doesnt have a cloaking device because of its use in the Empire, why would they waste money fitting it with a cloaking device? also, apparently, based on the Imperial Officers comment, the Empire doesnt put cloaking devices on ships that small, which is why he would beleive that no ship that small has a cloaking device. so all it takes is for one officer to be wrong (not that much of a stretch considering who we are dealing with) and that comment means absolutly nothing.
I would be suprised it Fett didnt have a cloaking device, in his line of work its very likely that he would. which reminds me, we saw where fett was parked, did you see a docking bay with the Falcon on it? more reason to believe they were on different sides of the city.
im not squinting, i can come up with these explanations (and even more complicated ones for OT and PT) pretty darn easily. Besides, most movies have little inconsistancies here and there. I never said that these bother me. or that the ones in the PT bother me. the ones that bother me are the ones between the PT and OT that are caused by the poor planing/writing of the PT stories.

Never said there weren't explanations for these, but these are continuity errors all the same that take a considerable amount of squinting to make believable. So, anyone that can do that for these things, I don't want to hear complaints about the PT.
totally agree, goes well with my theory that many people out there consciously (or maybe subconsciously) want to hate the PT because they dont want anything to be as good as their sacred Star Wars. Even a perfect PT storyline/movies wouldnt have satisfied some people.
