His plan is the same as Luke Skywalker's plan to take out the AT-AT walkers in The Empire Strikes Back: go for the legs. It isn't so much the plan itself that's interesting, as much as how he brings it up. He calls Empire a "really old movie," and honestly wonders if any of the others have seen it.
