Why ruin a strong, emotional character moment with a hint to a dumb mcguffin chase three films down the road?
Well it is kinda strange how he tells Luke to go immediately after taking the helmet off.
That was because he knew he was going to die. He only had a few seconds of life left, so he didn’t have time for a melodramatic goodbye. Either way, it’s certainly no reason to add a forced reference to some dumb McGuffin that was in a movie made 35 years later.
