    Following up on 4LOM's post about Luke's actions at the end of ESB, and why he doesn't go after the troopers holding Leia and Chewie:

    Luke's stated purpose in leaving Dagobah for Bespin was to help his friends. So he gets there, and he sees the troopers carting them off. (Does he sense Han's presence even though he's carbon-frozen? i don't know.) He hears Leia shouting "it's a trap!", but what does he do? He (1) abandons his friends, and (2) walks directly into the "trap".

    Explanations:

    1. Luke's real purpose in going to Bespin was to confront Vader, and once he got there, the two sensed each others' presence, and Luke went directly for the duel.

    2. Luke thought that be going into that side door, he would be avoiding the "trap" Leia was shouting about. Maybe he thought the trap was to follow Leia, Fett, and the troopers.

    3. Luke sensed that Lando and Lobot had a plan to free the others, and he figured that they would be OK while he was fighting Vader.

    4. Vader simply overpowered Luke with a Jedi Mind Trick to make him ignore his friends and Leia's warning, and he went where Vader wanted him.

    >> 1-How can someone by "digested over 1000 years"?<<

    The Sarlacc sustains it's prey so that it can slowly feed off of them.

    >>2-After Han blows up the shield generator,Admiral Ackbar immediatly orders to attack the DS.How could he know that the shield was down?<

    "We should be able to get some kind of a reading on that shield- up or down."

    That and the huge ball of fire was probably a good hint [face_batting]

    >>3-After the Super Star Destroyer is defeated,Ackbar rests in his chair.Why?The DS was still up and there were many more Star Destroyers.<<

    Likely relieved that one of the most powerful ships in the Imperial fleet was about to be destroyed- not to mention the command ship of the Endor fleet he was currently engaged in combat with.

    He was also probably a tad(pole) sad at the loss of life.



    >>It was a sigh of relief, and possible mourning for Arvel Crynyd.<<

    lol- "Now he'll never be able to pay me back."

    >>Any idea why the guy sitting behind Lando during the Battle of Endor is dressed in the rebel commando uniform?<<

    That was Colonel Cracken- his small Tala Squadron of Z-95's often flies air support for Madine's commandos, so they probably have to work with the commandos on the ground at some point- so he probably wore that uniform if it was his most common one.
