Well, the incestual topic I brought up before.

'No ship that small could make it this far out into space' or something to that effect, yet Vader has a similar ship and seems to make it back to civilization ok.


The issue is that the TIE fighter has no light speed engines, making it nearly impossible for the one ship to plod its way to the middle of no where. In the EU it says something like he goes into a state of meditation to survive the trip...


The EU doesn't count in most instances. I mean, it works in the absense of a real definition or excuse, but really...it's just a plot hole that is left unplugged. If the line about ships that small wasn't in the film, you could leave the mystery of Vader getting back. Unfortunately, you say that in the Star Wars universe, it's impossible and then expect us to believe he did it that way.

"Once down the path of darkness, forever will it consume you", yet Luke goes down the path of darkness 3 times, the Cave, his swing at the Emperor and his assualt on his father out of rage. Yet, somehow he shakes that all off?



Quote

i think one could easily diferintiate between heading down the dark path and slipping up 3 times. Lets look at it with different words substituting the word sin for dark side. Even great men make mistakes and sin from time to time, but that is very different from actively participating in sin, aka selling drugs, cheating on you spouse, etc.

We aren't talking about normal people, in your analogy the Jedi would be priests, and if a priests sins 3 times on such an epic scale, he wouldn't be a priest much longer. Unless he's Catholic.

"There is another", yet her life is meaningless enough for Yoda to let her die?


Quote

when does yoda ever say let her die?

Yoda tells Luke to let Leia die, if he values her cause. If he let's her die, the 'other' is no longer there. Thus its a self-fullfilling prophecy. By Luke going, it preserves 'the other'. If he stays, there is no other. It's a conundrum.

Boba Fett's Jedi abilities allow him to know the exact course the Falcon will be taking at a slow rate of speed, well enough to tell the Imperial Star Destroyers to go ahead, land, take control of the city, set up a garison and deal and ultimatium to Lando Calrissian.
Even if this isn't so, even if they arrived seconds before Han did, they seemed to work it all out pretty quickly cause in a matter of seconds, the Bespin planes go from shooting down the Falcon, to helping it land and Lando is able to meet them on the landing platform, all in a span of about 40 seconds. In that 40 second span, all the Imperial Troops are able to hide, so Han and Leia don't see them. Not only that, but they don't see the troop transports that would have been needed to bring the troops down to the city in the clouds, which would have had to have flown right past them to fit the above time table.

1. its not like vader has to set up a garrison to take control, he simply has to make contact and say " listen here mr. colt 45, you either do as i say or i will level you little city. Deal?" When you can jump in a few star distroyer that are mostlikely in orbit some where else in the lando system you dont need to physically take over.

2. planets are big, and one can land on them without landing in the exact city you need to be in. Troops could have been moving all around the city from other cities all while han and leia are arguing in the room. Houston has two major air ports, one near downtown and one on the northside you could land at one and never see whats going on in the other.


I was under the impression that the city in the clouds was the only city on the planet, and that the rest of the planet was gas mining. Lando says the Empire arrived just before they got there. Thus, for the Bespin pod-planes to be shooting at Han and Leia and then to stop in a less than a minute real-time, it means atleast an Imperial Shuttle would have to land in the city, which is in view of the Falcon. The reason I say this, is that in order for Vader to talk to Lando, and then Lando appear on the docking bay, it would have to cut it close as well. And as they say about the Falcon, no ship that small has a cloaking device. Either Lando is lying, or Han and Chewie are blind.

Some WTF stuff:
1.Tank went to the Academy, did he die? Where did Tank go?
2.If a door is magnetically sealed, wouldn't it attract all the metal waste in the trash compactor?
3.How many Sandpeople did you see walking the way Obi-Wan says they did?
4.5 X-Wing's and a Corellian don't dare take their chances against the Dark Lord of the Sith, who is the strongest opponent to the Rebellion. Of course not, he's only drifting into space all by himself. Don't worry about it, let's get back and party.
5.Why does Chewy need a protocol droid while in a detention cell, and for that matter, why let him put it back together in the spare time? I've known people that have worked in prisons, and not too often do they give them things they can swing at you. Han can't get a bed with legs, but Chewy can tinker around with a droid in his spare time.

1. I have no idea what you are talking about


"You said that when Tank and Biggs left........."

2. Speakers are also magnetized, but they can be sealed so that they wont effect your television screen or you computer moniter. I imagine that the same thing could happen with the door, since the last thing you want is to have to send some one in there to scrap off the crap that get stuck to the door. A better question would be why is there some sort of create in the garabage dump.

If I shoot a laser at my speaker, my speaker blows up. Did the door blow up?

4. maybe they assumed he is died whether it be by the shot that han hit him with or by the huge explosion of the death star.

They couldn't see him on their radar?
