Long post to start the new page. Since it came up, here's a few reactions to Return of the Jedi:quote:Vader died because his life support system got zorched by The Emperor. I thought this was one of the weakest moments of the film. His normally stentorious automatic breathing apperatus developed a definite hitch and a squeak which almost made me laugh out loud. quote:In the rebels' holographic simulation (a beautiful effect), the Death Star is shown in a geostationary (well, endorstationary) orbit. It is also shown as being only a few Death-Star-radii from the surface, and certainly less than one Endor-radius. quote:Well, it's time to start the roaring discussions going. ROTJ was a fine film, but not as good as the other two. First, it was too busy getting all the things done it had to, and second, it was not nearly as imaginative. There were no surprises. So it's Leia - whoopdedo. So Vader told the truth - tralala! I may not have predicted these things, but the reason I didn't was because they were too obvious, and from TESB I got the impression Lucas liked the "Big Surprise". So here are some questions/comments: quote:After seeing "Return of the Jedi" Wednesday, I was left with a question. I'm pretty sure that Episodes I, II, and II will be about Anakin (Darth Vader) Skywalker and how he was drawn to the Dark Side of the force (what is the offer he couldn't refuse?). But, what will Episodes VII, VIII, and IX be about? Will the Empire rise into power once more, lead by a sinister, new leader? Or will a new enemy terrorize the galaxy?

I bet the force is with Han to some degree, he's such good pilot and shot. quote:But, what will Episodes VII, VIII, and IX be about?

quote:4) What extra power does the Emperor have that he can shoot blue bolts from his fingers? We have never seen the force ever do anything like that before. Just who is the Emperor anyway? Is the force strong in his family? Is he a member of the Skywalker Clan? Are the Skywalkers like the Amber family? What about Obi Wan's family. I guess that Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were not truly related to Luke.

These honestly aren't nearly as angry as I was expecting/hoping. They actually seem to generally like the movie and only have the same jokes we do about convenient bottomless pits.

Darko posted:Youd prolly like it because movies were more of an event, home video was barely existant, and the spectacle was more about seeing the good guys win. People werent really combing through and seeing the nuance of Empire by rewatching constantly then. Depending on your age, you would probably have liked it too just because non critics watched movies a lot differently then. salacious crumb had more personality than any of the heroes in eps 7-9

quote:7) Of course if Vader had not died, then all kinds of neat things could have happened. Now good, and with the Emperor gone, he would be the acting Emperor. He could have managed the rebellion single-handedly, turning the great power of the empire and the death star over to the Jedi for peaceful use. Instead, they blew up the death star, which was quite a waste of equipment and otherwise innocent lives.

This made me look up whether vader had the gold arm from episode 2 in the suit and quote:Anakin nearly lost his mechno-arm after his fall into darkness and his transformation to Darth Vader. At the climax of his epic duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, Vader lost both legs and his remaining biological arm to Kenobi's blade, and was left to die on a black sand bank. Darth Sidious saved him, however, and set his medical droids to work on the wounded Sith apprentice. Now known as Darth Vader, the Dark Lord was given an upgraded prosthetic arm which was heavier, but even more powerful than the last. A month later, this arm was severed by Jedi Master Tsui Choi when Vader confronted several Jedi in the Conclave on Kessel. It was replaced with another artificial arm. This arm was then severed by Starkiller's clone, who used his former master's blade on him during the Battle of Kamino in 1 BBY. Sometime after his escape from Dantooine he got it replaced again. During a battle with his son Luke Skywalker at the Temple of Pomojema on Circarpous IV, also known as Mimban, Vader lost his mechanical arm again, but it was replaced. Years later, after his many failures at defeating the Rebel Alliance, this arm would be destroyed by Darth Sidious as punishment. It was soon replaced, and this arm would have its hand severed at the wrist once again by Luke.
