Sorry I should have said relies on rather than trusting.
His 'improvisation' hinges on Artoo being up on that barge balcony and is made more convenient by all the other characters being where they are.
If that didn't happen The Empire would have won the war.
See bonkers insane luck all round.
You might as well said invisible wizards did it.
You don't think luck plays any part in...
- ANH - garbage masher sequence.
- ESB - Luke just happening to fall out the bottom of Bespin so Leia could rescue him?
There is luck in Threepio turning his phone on in time (well within the realms of plausible luck and excusable dramatic license) but the rest is Artoo's skill and the Bespin thing is down to Luke communicating via the Force to someome we later learn is Force sensitive herself.
So the layers of luck are much less than in that sequence.
Agreed, I've no problem with a bit of luck and winging it, which is what goes on in ROTJ.
Yes Leia uses the force to rescue luke from that pylon. But the force had nothing to do with getting him to that pylon. If he had somehow surved that massive fall and landed ANYWHERE else in Bespin. Leia would've had to abandon Luke because her, Lando and Chewie caouldn't have fought backinto Bespin against the whole Empire.
Plus how come Vader just leaves Bespin anyway?!? Why doesn't he at least attempt to get some of his troopers to go find where Luke landed and arrest him?!?
SOOOO many plot holes in all 6 SW films. But in the OT I'm having SOOOO much fun I don't care for a second!
