Well, Leia wasn't taken to Vader's ship until Luke had entered Bespin's atmosphere. Also, if Luke hadn't shown up, Vader wouldn't have waited for him and probably would have gone with her to the shuttle. Thus, if Luke hadn't gone, Lando wouldn't have dared go against Vader (I assume) and she'd be dead.

or be used as bait to lure in skywalker at a later time,which was vaders plan the whole time.

That's the point I'm trying to make. Because Lucas fudged things up even between the second and third films, he created the continuity error I'm talking about.

Then why not just say so in the beginning???

Maybe the radar just pickes up ships, how do you know it differentiates between TIE fighters and Star Destroyers. with all the cloud cars flying around maybe he missed it.

You all are continuing this idea that I said Star Destroyers and TIE fighters landed. I'm not at all. I'm just talking about the Imperial Shuttle. I believe in ANH, Han looks at the radar and says "two TIE fighters coming in" or something like that.

its because you mentioned troop careers and other such thing in your complaint. and again if they had already arrived they had probably already landed, thus not on the radar.

Cloaking device. I believe the line was "No ship that small has a cloaking device" Keep in mind this is said by an Imperial Officer who is also probably cocky because he is the commander of a Star Destroyer of the Galactic Empire. Maybe power consumption of the cloaking devices would be too much for a normal ship that size. maybe there are civilian issue cloaking devices that you cant get put on ships that small for 'legality' reasons, ie the Empire doesnt allow it. but it never said they couldnt have one on it, just no ship does. But we all know Han has made plenty of modifications to the Falcon, many that im sure the Empire or any officials would even think to look for on his ship so why not a cloaking device. Because some Imperial Officer said so? So far in the films the Imperial Officers havent really giving me much of a reason to have the most confidence in them.

Now who is stretching. And you aren't following. The Falcon having a cloaking device isn't the problem. It's the Slave I and the Imperial Shuttle that I'm talking about. If the Imperial Shuttle had a cloaking device, I'm sure Han would have used it going down to Endor.

cause he didnt want to blow up when his ship hit the deflector sheild???

assuming radar works like it does here, its also very likely that while in a busy city a radar is a bit crowded and kind of hard to pick out an Imperial Shuttle landing. Plus, the shuttle might be 'drowned out' or all together hidden due to its positioning in the city/hangar bay/landing area.

Did you see alot of air traffic when we saw the shots of Bespin? I didn't.

i dont recall any shots of the entire cloud city that lasted more than a few seconds.

remember it was you who said you would be willing to provide answers/reasons for the plot holes in the PT. well, you have answers/reasons provided for what you find to be plot holes in the OT but your refuse to accept them. thats your choice, but it doesn mean they arent there and more likely/logical than the ones for some of the PT errors.

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.

i dont see any amount of huge squinting going on. i will be the first to admit that the OOT has issues, what film doesnt? I just concur with others that the PT has many more...
