I get the feeling you think I’m of the opinion that ROTJ comes nearly straight after TESBSorry if I’ve responded to you before. I tend to forget what I’ve said n’ who I said it to around here anymore.
No, it’s not that. Instead I feel you simply missed my other reply a couple of posts earlier where I basically detail just by how different Luke is that I agree at least 6 months to a year has passed since TESB but the way you responded felt is as if I had said the opposite somewhere, maybe my comment about what Luke and Lando said before parting making a year implausible but I was just commenting solely on that one aspect alone irrespective of all the other factors that make it obvious that many months have indeed passed since TESB.
There is also an issue in the line of thinking of actually being indoctrinated as one of the gang as then at some point Lando would have had to carry out acts that proves his worth to his employer and colleagues which likely then makes him not really suitable anymore as an honorable and trust worthy member of the rebellion (he’d probably have blood on his hands).
R1 shows that dirty deeds aren’t something the rebellion is above, nor should they be.
That may be so but I doubt it would be viewed in the same light by Luke, Leia and Han (or Chewie for that matter 😛 ) especially when there would already be trust issues hanging over from Lando’s initial betrayal at Bespin. Plus it really depends on the specific deed and the characters themselves. I don’t see Lando being remotely the same as Cassian for instance or capable of such acts in view of the “bigger picture” which in this case, is not the galaxy but the life of his friend who I doubt would be ok with Lando having murdered / put to death locals or done other despicable deeds in order to affect a rescue.
Plus I think at this stage in the saga story the Rebellion need to be a clean and shining example to the galaxy now that they’re out in the open, as opposed to the early days of trying to start the Rebellion while remaining hidden and sink to low acts to keep it that way or get an edge on the Empire lest they be snuffed out for all time…
Anyways, I think we’re a bit off topic.
Hm. Good point. *Fist bump
Yes, lets move on 😃 (though I agree Dom that 3 years really is implausible and I think people just mistake or confuse the real 3 year gap between movies for the time gap in the story)
