Good point. Just saw that this morning, I don't know how I forgot. But, yeah, that's hardly a crux of my argument.

Anyway, there are several questions. One, could Ben's death have benefitted from more danger? Two, did the presence of stormtroopers in that situation increase the level of danger? Three, if so, have stormtroopers (and their counterparts) become exponentially more pathetic as time goes on? Four, what happened to stealth? Five, how did the scouts in ROTJ not realize that many of their own men went missing at the same time their speeder bike began to randomly explode in the forest, and did they not manage to put two and two together (maybe slightly justified in that it was a trap all along)?
