Heh, yeah, I got what you meant. Like I said, nothing in the first paragraph of my post made any sense.

But then again, if a group of 15 nameless extras with big guns can come in and do that, surely six main characters, one of whom is a lightsaber-wielding killing machine, one who pulled off some kind of vaguely awesome general-promoting maneuver at the Battle of Tanaab, one who is a swiss army knife of destruction, and one who's a freaking arm-dismembering Wookiee(!) could have accomplished the same thing if their almighty leader wasn't so dead set on getting them all captured, sexually molested, and eaten by not one but two giant monsters!

But I'm honestly beginning to think I made too much of an airtight argument. I really expected and even hoped someone could come in and go, "Well, really, if you just want to be a hater, you'd overlook this extremely obvious and obviously genius tactical maneuver of..." and proceed to go into this overly technical explanation of how awesome everything about this rescue operation was.

But maybe that's impossible...
