Vader obviously dealt with the shots with the force. Without special explanation, it's not reasonable to think his hand is going to stand up to laser blasts without using the force. So I think force use is clearly the original intention. But the eu has to go and muck it up. I think they explain that Vader's gloves were indestructible or something. They also say his gloves give him super-grip, so no that's not bionic streength that's allowing him to crush the rebel officers throat, it's his gloves. What a load of bull. Sometimes I think they set out to give explanations for things in the eu just to see how they can ruin the story. The eu is full of this bull.

Good Lord that sucks!
