I was listening to my Limited Edition NPR Trilogy recordings on the way to work today. And in the scene from Empire Strikes Back where Han is frozen in carbonite and Lando confirms he survived the process. C3PO says, "Oh, Thank the Maker!" after hearing Han did survive. I think this is the same as the movie. But this is odd if you think about it now. Anakin/Darth Vader standing there, actually BEING C3p0's "maker". Unless you think the droid is refering to something spritual...meaning a God-like force and not the force referenced to in the movie. I assume he is talking of his own "maker"...being young Anakin (in the ATOC novel Shmi puts the metal on top and finishes c3po). I just thought it was weird, I wonder with what we know now if Vader would've been chuckling himself after c3po said that. Very odd.
