I like the idea of asteroids interfering with the signal, but then again Vader did tell his crew to move out of the field so that wouldn't happen.

Rivel's subtle over-emphasis on certain words much like Jone's Vader and of course the one and only Ian Mcdirmad from RotJ SHOULD have been emulated for the new ESB scene but wasn't to my surprised. Ian pulled a Portman and phoned it in from Israel or wherever. I remember the Yes... Yesss...., not brilliant stuff, but effective none-the less in making this character seem mysterious and creepy as he should. The new, flat, "yes, yes, can it be done", bla bla bla well... it's not the same. *wahh*
