When the planet you are on is about to be vapourised does it matter?

Well it doesn't. I just don't think Luke would get to fly the sophisticated X-wing, if you apply logic and realism to the matter. Well maybe if you turn a blind eye and put several "if"s into the equation. But you seem to be so reluctant to do that when it comes to ROTJ.

But I'm not.

I can see it making sense that Red Leader would let Luke fly when the planet they are defending is about to be blown up but not making sense to send a gold, loud, fussy butlerdroid into a bunker siege situation (where stealth would be a plus) on a green planet.

I would love ROTJ to hold up to the same standard as ESB and ANH but it doesn't.
