I just had a thought.
Is it just me, or does Luke contribute very little to the battle of Endor after he gets captured? Like, I can’t imagine the battle going too differently regardless of what happened between him, Vader, and the Emperor.
He’s important to the set up for the fight (I’d hardly see shuttle Tydirium getting through without him), yes, but the Death star II would have been destroyed after he got captured no matter what, it seems.
Well, he was busy wrapping up the story arc of the trilogy, he didn’t have time to fight alongside the Ewoks.
Sure, lore-wise he didn’t really do much at the Battle of Endor, but plot-wise the was doing the most important job of movie.
