I admit I have tried to defend the whole Han rescue making sense before but truthfully, it just doesn't. It's a contrived mess just thought up in 5 mins so as to get all the main protagonists back on screen. As if Lucas was thinking that's what the audience would want to see. One thing that hasn't been pointed out (I assume) is how comes Fett didnt recognise Lando? Now I know he had his guards uniform on but the majority of his face was still discernable? Hadn't he clocked him at various points and thought, 'hang on, he looks kinda familiar? ESB Fett was portrayed as a cunning, intelligent bounty hunter. If I was Fett, when it all kicked off I would've just said see ya. I got paid for Solo and this ain't my beef. Pretty sure there are other gangsters out there to work for. It's like if you work in a bank and it gets robbed, what do you do? Try to be a hero? No, if your smart you do f*** all and try to get out of there if the opportunity presents itself. No rather than that we're led to believe that instead of just being out for himself, through some kind of blind loyalty to his gangster sub contractor that's never been established, he gets involved. And so we get the premature, comical death of one of the best parts of ESB.
