The Original Trilogy / Re: Are Luke and Han close friends or just teammates?
« on: April 17, 2011, 12:05 AM »Regarding Han being the only one to go after Luke on Hoth. Han was the only one that was able to because he was a free agent. Everyone else was part of the military structure, which prevented them from attempting to rescue Luke. Riekeen/Leia could not safely send others because odds of success were so small, they could not justify risking the lives of their men to possibly save one person. All of Luke's other "friends" within the alliance had to operate within the military structure, would be going AWOL to search for Luke, how does that help their cause?
Other rebels went out to look for Luke....but they did all return before they shut the doors.
