^Apparently not to a large number of people.  Now that it's been pointed out, it seems obvious, but it originally looked to me as if the camera was panning till it looked to the floor of the abyss.  Is it that hard to believe that not everyone perceived it the same way?  In any case, who cares now?  Now everyone is on the same page that the 9/11 was not an inside job, Obama was born on US soil, and Luke got sucked into the side, so there's no need to beat anyone over the head about it.

In answer to your question, it seems likely that he was experiencing pull from all directions, happened to drift closer to one side (probably already closer to that side when falling, so the suction from that side was already pulling him slightly more than all other sides), and finally got close enough for one particular shaft to nab him

I had no problem understanding that he was sucked in, though the sound of it always sounded to me like his body scraping on the metal of the tube (can't listen to it now because I'm at work).  But visually it truly looks like he simply falls down to the bottom whereupon he is sucked into the tube.  Wookieepedia agrees with me (cue Wookieepedia accuracy criticisms, but the point is that enough people have read that article and not altered it).  I also have talked about this with family and friends many times throughout my life, and there seemed to be a common understanding.  Being sucked into the side is more realistic to me in many ways, but I wish it were visually more apparent now.

That was not a given for me.  I always thought those vents were present on the sides and bottom and he finally made it to the bottom, which always seemed unrealistic because simlpy falling or even being sucked in (which I assumed) would have still been quite damaging to his body, even with the sloping tube.  Very interesting, but I agree that it would be nice if that were visually made clearer.
