I just don't understand why the rebel fleet didn't retreat at the first sign of the sheild generator being up.

Surely retreating and picking a better time to attack would have been better than losing 2 capital ships in what could have ultimately been a failed attack.

I think Akbar really made a huge mistake but Solo's team pulled his arse out of the fire.

And why was Lando even leading the snub fighter attack? He just joined the alliance and is suddenly a squadron leader?

I've said all I can say about Jedi in my "review" I just wanted people to know why I hate this movie and i didn't even touch on the discombobulated ending sequence, lando's character, the lighting, editing, etc...Jedi completely lacks excitement.

This was their only chance. If the Endor mission failed, and there was not going to be another opportunity like that. They had no choice but to wait on the outcome of the scout team's mission.

Well, the Alliance was a pretty rag-tag group. Even Luke, who had presumably never even flown in space, was in command of at least two other ships at the end of Star Wars.

They were pinned in by all of the Star Destroyers blocking their exit.

The Death Star was already operational, though, which changed a whole lot. At that point, Lando was right. Their only chance was to see if Han could pull off a miracle and turn off the generator because if they waited until later a) the Death Star would be fully constructed and no longer exposed to an interior attack and b) they might escape with a quarter of the fleet that they arrived with so any future attack would be a joke.
