Here is a grip I have, see if you notice it. When Vader basically gets peppered with Solo's laser blasts, there is all kinds of craziness going on. First, Han is firing shells out the top of his blaster, which, never land. But I don't think they are supposed to be there anyways. Secondly, some of the 'flash' explosions on Vader are not timed correctly, so you get Frame:blast hits Vader, Frame: flash instead of them being simultaneous. Because it moves so fast, it just looks like a garbled mess when watching it in real speed. Also, try and explain to me what is happening to Vader. Is he using the Force to block the blasts and if so, why are they flashing like explosions. If not, and they are hitting his metal body, why isn't his suit smoking where the laser blasts would have had to have gone in. Also, his left arm never gets up high enough to block the laser blast, and to fix this LFL basically just has him get hit in the forearm as he is raising his arm as if Han Solo is the quickest draw in the galaxy and Force using, Jedi sensing Vader can't react fast enough. A confusing bit indeed. THAT has always bugged me, but I had forgotten about it until MF brought up that scene for other reasons.
