The battle of Endor has sone inconsistencies and plot holes as well:
-(Something already addressed for the rebel transport ships escaping Hoth in ESB) space has infinite directions. How exactly the imperial fleet and the Death Star blocks all escape routes?
Later, Piett says the Emperor himself wants the imperial star destroyers to prevent the rebels from escaping rather than join the battle, because he has "something special planned for them". Then the Death Star fires its superlaser. Then Ackbar orders the fleet to retreat. So the rebels can escape? But I though they couldn't at that point.
At sublight speeds, presumably the Imperial ships would overrun the Rebels, so escape depends on plotting a relevant hyperspace course. Perhaps hyperspace routes can only be done along certain vectors, and enemy ships can block these?
