lol...

I would hate to get into an extra-cannonical argument on who's leading the rebels... but if I had to venture a bet... I'd say that Leia, Luke, and Han are those who choose that position.

Notice Mon Mothma isn't with them.. I would say that the Rebel Alliance broke apart... and sent out to distant corners of the galaxy so that if they did get attacked, the whole alliance woudn't be destroyed in "one swift stroke."

Then you have the alliance fleet out in space.

If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that Luke could have led the alliance to Hoth saying it was a good place to hide... using the force as his guide... but not knowing much about EU I couldn't say... but it is, I suppose, a bit odd of a line. He's not REALLY in charge... but he could have still led them to Hoth...

Like how Lara Roslin led the caravan of the stars to the home of the 13th colony... she may not have done it alone... but the records of Pithia say such... is she wrong? lol
