There has been talk about killing off Lando in ROTJ. I’m not sure whether I think that’s a good idea or not, but I’ve been thinking about how to do it if the decision is made to do so.
Here’s a thought.
The fleet starts moving away from the Death Star before the fatal shots are fired. They’re well coordinated and they know what’s coming. Wedge and Lando fire their shots more or less simultaneously and BOOM. They never have a chance to outrun the explosion. They know when they pull their triggers that they’re not getting out of there, but they don’t hesitate for a moment. The true epitome of heroism.
