Hey all,

I'm rewatching Return of the Jedi for the billionth time, and had to stop the movie to come here and ask this question. I don't know why I didn't consider this before, but... after Lando call's the Emperor's bluff and deduces that the Second Death Star's shields are still up, why don't the Rebels just Hyperspace their fleet away from there? Especially after the Imperial Fleet arrives on the scene. Are Han, Luke, & Leia really THAT important to the Rebellion? Are they (i.e. the Rebellion) really willing to go all in, to sacrifice their entire assault fleet on the off chance that the heroes and their ground team might find a way to turn off the DSII shields DESPITE the Empire obviously awaiting the Rebel campaign? I mean, the Rebels walks straight into a trap but continues to fight, keeping going even after the frigging DSII demonstrate its operational status! How the hell are these guys still fighting after that, and why?

Now, I do not mean this as a critique...
