If anything, Luke's arrival hindered their escape because they had to go back for him.
Um, no. Lando cowered everytime Vader said anything to him. Lando only stood up to the Empire when Vader was distracted. If Vader had been walking with the Stormtroopers to the shuttle, I don't think Lando could have found enough courage, even if it was out of the bottom of a Colt .45.

And something that I know for sure no one else has addressed in this thread... Luke was talking about the Imperial Academy when speaking of Biggs and Tank. They joined the Imperial Academy, and that's where Luke was aiming to go as well. But in that Biggs on Tatooine scene that was cut out of the movie, Biggs informs Luke that, the next chance he gets, he's going to defect to the Rebel Alliance. Who's to say that Tank does the same thing, though? As for Tanks's whereabouts when Luke is reunited with Biggs on Yavin? He could be an Imperial officer for all we know!
That's a good point, but you'd think Luke would bring him up when talking to Biggs about Tattoine. Oh well, just one of those things.
Here's a continuity error, but it's a simple one that happens in all films:
Luke goes out the window in the air shaft on Bespin and falls down towards the platform below, in which he has to grapple the side of the walkway to stay from plummeting to his death. Both hands, holding tight on the walkways. Where does his lightsaber go and how does he get it back in the next scene?
