So Luke is trusting on Lando being on the skiff, Leia being chained next to Jabba, and Artoo being on the sail barge with Threepio.

None of these decisions he has any say in.

If we saw Lando paying Fett to turn a blind eye now and then and maybe Artoo reprogram 9D9 to get her to put him on the barge it might make some sense but then what about the Rancor?

The only reason they are out in the open is because Luke killed Jabba's other pit monster so was he pretending to be in peril back then?

Was it like American Wrestling (genuinely dangerous but mostly staged)? Did Leia allow herself to get captured on orally interfered with deliberately? How did they know for sure that Jabba wouldn't kill them all on the spot?

He doesn't seem as influenced by the Force as Bib Fortuna.

In ANH they Luke has a clear plan, which Han has doubts about and when it goes wrong they wig it with a mixture of skill and plausible good fortune.

There is no plan here it's all insane luck.
