  • Block blaster bolts? (Vader in V)

Maybe.

Deflected into the wall.

Well that’s why I said maybe, as we only see being deflected but Vader’s hand might absorb direct hits. But that would be pure speculation.

Did a stormtrooper die by a blast in the OT?

Leia alone kills a few per movie.

What I mean is, do we have any confirmation they’re truly dead or merely KO’d? I have always assumed stormtrooper armor would prevent a blast hit from being lethal but would not stop the wearer from being stunned.

It doesn’t have a name in the movies though. The closest is Luke’s “A city in the clouds”.

Han says it. But is that the planet or the city?

“Bespin, it’s pretty far but I think we can make it” (not those exact words IIRC). The city is unnamed, like Ach-To or D-Qar or Hosnian Prime.

When did Vader and Luke fly in the movies? They made great jumps but no flying.

Vader does his little floating jump down the stairs in the ESB dual I guess. It’s more like flying when they started using it as a Super Nintendo animation.

That’s what I think OP’s saying it’s flying but I just think of it as a big jump. OT Vader is more agile that he appears to be, although maybe not as agile as R1 Vader.
