And honestly, it would just be far less cool if Luke said it.  When Hitchcock was asked why one of his characters didn't just go to the police, he said because it'd be boring.  That principle is at play.  It makes for a more exciting movie.

 

Thank you for bringing up this quote. It's lost far too often. There's a logic and language to film that isn't 1:1 with reality. 

Another Hitchcock quote about plot holes: "I’m not interested in logic, I’m interested in effect. If the audience ever thinks about logic, it’s on their way home after the show, and by that time, you see, they’ve paid for their tickets."

A little cynical but I think it speaks to a fundamental truth about filmmaking.
