Hahahaha, brillant!
The answer is no. Spending one third of the film on his rescue just to kill him would have been beyond stupid.
This never occurred to me before. I suppose that plot point helped make Empire great but constrained Kasdan and Lucas quite a bit… no matter what, you’re going to have to devote a significant portion of the film to the rescue attempt so it doesn’t come off as half-arsed, which gives less time for the other things you want to build up to. Part of why I think ROTJ is a great final chapter is it coped with this very well.
