One thing I still am not to fond of is the pull out of light speed behind their shields in order to bypass them… not only did it feel incredibly rushed but it seems like the Star Wars equivalent of Treknobabble, and if it was that easy why bother disabling the shields at all? Couldn’t the X-Wing squadron have just done the same thing to lead into their attack?
Perhaps because it’s an old smugglers trick, requiring an incredible amount of timing and luck, and they almost slammed the Falcon into the planet attempting it?
Funny thing, more or less the same idea was present in the original draft of The Phantom Menace (when returning to Naboo), but in that Obi-wan has Anakin decide when to drop out using his super powerful force abilities.
