I love the repeated gag of R2 falling behind in one shot, then in a subsequent shot he's caught up again and falls behind again, repeatedly. I'll be watching for it when I rewatch The Empire Strikes Back this weekend.

I'll be watching for it when I rewatch The Empire Strikes Back this weekend. I always had an idea for a Monty Python-esque bit where R2 gets knocked over on his side early in the movie, and then about every 20 minutes the movie cuts back to him for a few seconds as he spins his wheels, rocks a little bit, spins his wheels again, pauses, spins his wheels again, and then it goes back to the action.

jivjov posted:My apologies for my incorrect terminology. I will endeavor to not repeat the mistake Thanks for acknowledging the incorrect terminology. It's important to remember that humans mostly dwell in jungles and mountains and spend most of their days foraging for fruits. Humans do NOT have tails which is pretty much the only distinction between humans and monkeys.

Super Fan posted:Those loving assholes just ignore R2 while he’s clearing struggling with those stairs He flies around with jet boosters later in the movie. He clearly just doesn't want to listen to their awkward flirting. Also probably why he's nowhere to be seen until they get to Tatooine. euphronius posted:Also In Jabbas palace it's never clear how he maneuvers the stairs I didn't catch this until my second viewing but those metal thuds in the background as he slowly made his way down the stairs cracked me up real good in the theater.

Cnut the Great posted:He tries to choke Motti to death and only stops because Tarkin tells him to. He also chokes Captain Antilles to death at the beginning. Darth Vader doesn't need angst about a long-lost son to want to go around angrily choking people to death. Dude's just a strangler, it's his natural state of being. I don't think he necessarily was trying to kill Conan, and Antilles is an enemy and a traitor rather than just an incompetent subordinate. He's described as "obsessed" with finding Luke in the opening of ESB. There is absolutely a key difference between a guy who serves the Empire willingly and loyally because he has nothing left and has become part of the machine both figuratively and literally, and a guy who found out he actually does have a personal mission to pursue. I've always thought that, if not for Luke and Leia, Vader would've never tried to betray the Emperor. He would have just remained a part of the machine. In ESB he cares about finding the rebels because he wants to find Luke, I don't even think retribution for the Empire is that important to him at that point.

Yeah, and I think Vader was probably kind of invigorated to find someone who could be a potential equal, even as a rival. Maybe especially as a rival. All he had to live for for years was his grudge against Obi-Wan, and I have to think that their confrontation was probably a huge letdown for him. It also makes me wonder what Palpatine was like during the Empire's apex, post Jedi purge. He seemed to live for corrupting and destroying the Jedi- that's what really brought him pleasure, taking control of the galaxy was almost incidental. With no more Jedi, I could easily see Palpatine settling into an existential malaise of sorts.

It does  Anakin made a hasty emotional decision and now that the dust has settled he's contemplating the long, uncertain future ahead of him, having a look at the Death Star, a technological terror that is insignificant compared to what he signed on for, the alleged deepest knowledge of the Force.
