Luke’s X-Wing?
So I watched Empire Strikes Back when it came out at the movies and have probably seen it more than a dozen times over the year. I recently bought the trilogy on DVD and for the very first time I twigged to something I had never noticed before.
What happens to Luke’s X-Wing?
Lord Vader and the forces of the Galactic Empire as part of a trap surreptitiously allow Luke into Cloud City. Luke and company escapes the trap in the Millennium Falcon, while Solo is taken away in the Slave.
Cloud City remained in the hands of the Galactic Empire until the end of the Galactic Civil War. Ergo, when the heroes hastily departed Cloud City, Luke’s X-Wing should have remained in the hands of Imperial forces.
So how did he get it back? Or was he issued another one for Return of the Jedi and subsequent Expanded Universe stories (and told not to crash this one into swamp worlds and not to leave it where those bully’s in the Galactic Empire could find it?)
Or am I looking too closely at this?
