Luke's Ladder
I saw this topic over at TFN and it never occurred to me before. In ESB, when Luke leaves Dagobah, he climbs up the ladder into his x wing. Then starts to take off. Uh....where does the ladder go ? It sure won't fit in the cockpit and it doesn't retract into the ship. Ideas ?

It's only a ladder, so perhaps the Rebels are quite prepared to just discard them and leave them in the snow! Heh heh, imagine a load of ladders laying down across the wastes of Hoth.

I said so. They are just hooked on the edge. You can watch a guy lift one off Luke's ship at the end of ANH before he goes into battle when they ask him if he wants a new R2 unit.

Maybe there's a storage for it. The fact that we can't see it being hauled in, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. That's movie magic for you.

Well I don't like it. If Luke didn't pull it in, it could have fallen down on top of Yoda. Now what do you think of that ?

Yeah I've got that song! "The long-term contract I had to sign, said we'd be making these movies till the end of time."
Darn, I'm so daft. I thought Gundy meant the scene where Luke leaves Hoth in his X-Wing. That's why I said all the rubbish about Hoth.
Well anyways, perhaps the ladder can sort of shorten and then fit underneath the X-Wing, packed against the hull if you know what I mean. Damn, I need to draw a diagram to show you.

xming ? is this a new ship I've never heard of ?
and finti, that cornfield comment was from an old twilight zone episode that queeq and I rehashed on an old thread. If you would like me to explain it all again, just let me know. Or I'll be happy to send you a long, boring e-mail.

Its possible that there are two completely different types of ladder. The one used in the rebel base is the standard one but there is a weaker retractable one that is stored on the X-Wing (ming) and controlled by the Astromech

Yes. I think that is a very good idea.
