This could almost fit into the small details thread, but I don’t think it’s particularly obscure.

I wonder why they (Kershner?) decided it was so important to make sure Lando demonstrated proper safety protocols by wearing a safety harness & clipping in when getting onto the Falcon’s roof and grabbing Luke under Cloud City. It’s also such a shame any shots of Lando actually on the roof of the Falcon grabbing Luke were cut.

I like to imagine that Lando, as a facility administrator, had many prior difficulties with laborers not following proper safety protocol. I imagine that he would have demonstrated himself on several occasions how to follow Space OSHA requirements when doing maintenance on the underside weather vanes, so when it came time to rescue Luke he would be a massive hypocrite if he didn’t follow his own regulations.
