Hmm. I knew about that one since the SE, and I was sort of looking out for it (but not intently), but I didn't notice it. I'll check it again tonight, unless you can email me a few screenshots in the next few hours so I can get a handle on it.
I'd say the energy has to be expended somehow, so the bolts are exploding against whatever F/force field he's projecting. And Vader could probably block the shots without raising his hand, it just looks better
The fact that he does it slowly shows how little it matters - if he moved quickly it would appear that he was in some danger.
This is one of those things where the editors made deliberate choices about how they cut the scene, and I think those choices should override concerns about cause and effect.
That said, I do intend to make a better job of the top hatch on the Falcon by re-editing the scene. Makes you wonder why they noticed that when they did the SE, but not all the other stuff

Received the disk this morning. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet but just wanted to say thanks.

First, Han is firing shells out the top of his blaster, which, never land.
Thanks, I missed that one. There were shells in ANH too (I painted them out when I did my SE LD to DVD conversion), but the 2004 DVD cleanup process seems to have treated most of them as dirt and wiped them away.

Is he using the Force to block the blasts and if so, why are they flashing like explosions.
