They just don't know how to take advantage of it, not without the plans. But their actions (not limited to Leia's apparent "lure them to Yavin" gambit) do suggest that they were confident of finding a way pretty easily once they had the plans to analyse. | |

| Apr 6, 2015 at 22:28 | comment | added | Wad Cheber | It is easier to blow up a Death Star that is chasing you wherever you are going than a Death Star on the other side of the galaxy. It saves fuel, travel time, and scouting missions. From her point of view, they were basically leading the Death Star into a trap - which is exactly how it worked out. | |

Or she realizes that she's in an argument with a stubborn, stuck up, scruffy looking nerf herder and that she's not going to convince anyone, and relents. - How did Han even know to go to Yavin? Either she told him, or perhaps it was part of the data on R2?
