The Mind Probe is also a jedi power in canon. Who is to say which one he was talking about? 😉 If someone can say that Luke transmitted his thoughts to Vader, instead of vader reading his mind, then i can say that the mind probe that he was talking about is also the established jedi Mind Probe 😉

And, if we are using wiki, this clears up that Vader was using the mind probe (thus reading Luke’;s mind) in ROTJ 😉

I read through your link. I don’t know who wrote all of that stuff. But obviously we know with Disney take over that Kylo could “read minds”.

The question is if in OT that Vader could “read minds”. And there’s nothing in those movies to say that he can.

Also, the fact is in ANH that the “mind probe” was that black round floating ball. Everyone has understood that to be true. I’ve always thought that.

Now, we’re not talking about someone later on retconning the thing. So we’re talking about what was true in 1983.
