I don't know what the living force idea is, but I thought the escape from Jabba's palace was fairly straightforward.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

First I'll send Lando to infiltrate the place way ahead of everyone else. Then I'll send my droids and my lightsaber to plead for Solo's life but have them be captured instead. Then I'll have my sister pretend to be a bounty hunter who's brought Chewie, have them try to free Han but be captured instead. Then I'll go, threaten Jabba if he doesn't release all of my friends I had captured, and be captured instead. Then when Han and I are about to be executed and are completely surrounded by Jabba's guards, I'll have R2 give me my lightsaber and then I'll kill absolutely everybody. Yes, this is a great plan!Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

It worked, didn't it?

It definitely doesn´t speak for Luke ...
considering the fact that Lukes Droids were sent in before Leia appeared there as Bounty Hunter
lets one guess that Luke never expected her to succeed (but instead expected her to get captured and put into skimpy slavegirls outfits)
(in contrast to Leia herself who seemed to have believed that her disguise has worked and she could free Han this way and was really surprised when she suddenly was surrounded by Jabbas court after freeing Han)
So with other words, Luke seems to have sent at least 2 of his pawns (Leia and C-3PO) in without any knowledge of his "great Plan", just in order to have his great entrance after all had been captured
If I were Leia (which I am fortunately not ... I don´t think Metal Bikinis would fit me well) I would have been at least a little bit mad at Luke for this

Also, for Leia to have been convincing, she would have probably had to have done some sexy-sexy stuff with Jabba..."Aha, you must have supported the Iraq war and wear underpants made out of firearms, just like every other American!" LoinburgerComment

(Which is why his actions make sense if he was an adherent of the Living Force. Then, he didn't actually have a plan at all and was simply doing, in each moment, what he thought was the will of the Force by following his instincts. It worked because the Force works. That or it was just a movie.)Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

I thought the plan was to get all his people on the inside so that he would have an advantage when Jabba refused his offer. Only Leia really ****ed it up by getting captured, but she wasn't going to do much anyway.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

also sucky about RotJ:
r2's bleeps and whatnot are different
darth vader's voice sounds different
Luke's green light saber instead of the light bluish one (blue>green)
the sound Luke's light saber is different (AND SUCKS)
Leia's voice is all raspy because Carrie Fisher partied too hard and aged about two or three times the normal rate in between the movies
Anakin, at the end in spirit form, is apparently considered good, forgiven, and able to hang with Yoda and Obiwan. Must be nice being an immortal force spirit. I'm sure that's a comfort to the children he murdered. Do they get in on the whole being a spirit thing? Also, if people strong in the force get to live on after death, then isn't the "dead" Emperor also a spirit too?
and speaking of Anakin being a spirit... putting Hayden whatshisface in at the end of RotJ officially makes it part of the prequels, imo
