but Luke on his own escaping the Imperial Palace on the Imperial capital planet just doesn't make sense.

Wait, bingo wings, why are you saying Luke on Coruscant in the Imperial Palace wouldn't make sense(after the Emperor dies)?

I think he means that Luke, by himself, basically assassinates the leader of the Empire and his right hand man, then just walks out.

On the nosey ;-)

You ever seen The Wizard of Oz?

What did the guards do to Dorothy?

They all became friends of Dorothy...erm (maybe I should rephrase that).

Star Wars is a little different (even if the Jabba's palace door scene is a direct lift from the Emerald City).

The Empire isn't being held together just by the power of the Emperor, it's also kept going be the fanatical ambition of those in charge. Tarkin seemed to be the sort of person who would support the Empire even if it's head of state wasn't a prune faced warlock.
