Ahh!  Good point.  If this is the case, though, you'd think that a vastly
superior starfleet could blow those rebel scum to kingdom come with their
turbo-lasers and TIE fighters.  I guess the force wasn't with them. ;-(

And somehow it doesn't seem out of character for the emporer to open fire
on the rebel fleet even if they WERE positioned in the midst of his OWN
starfleet.

Lucas' movies underestimate the power of technology turned to evil purposes.
How COULD a rag-tag little commando team outwit and outgun a FULL LEGION
of the emporer's finest troops.  Oh that's right... the good guys had a
legion of Ewoks..... BLECH!
