Hello everyone,
Been away from the forum for a little while. Took me an hour to catch up on 12 pages of posts.
Saw the new video.... freakin awesome!
My only suggestion is that the displays in the control room look so bland. But I think Adywan said he had something in mind to spruce them up like he did in ANH:R.
Also, I would like to say thanks for everyones comments on the luke/hoth escape. I was surprised at how spirited the debate came.
However, I still feel that if Han is such a great pilot. Then why wouldn't he look at his sensor scope and take one of those "paths" that Luke did.
The point of Vader focusing on the falcon is very valid. It is just too bad we couldn't add a line in for Vader saying. "I want that ship no matter what" or " all ships in blockade focus on that ship". (He does say "I want that ship not excuses" later on though) but it isn't clear at that point in the movie. We know that he wants Skywalker and could believe he is on the Falcon. However, if he can't sense that Luke is not on the Falcon, then why wouldn't he assume Luke could be in one of the many other ships leaving. Thus keeping the blockade intact? Maybe he senses Leia instead of Luke?
We as viewers are left to speculate on Vaders motivations on the blockade, or that Luke used the force, or Han was just unlucky to fly into the blockade (Which upon reflection, is what happens throughout the entire movie). So maybe I just answered my own question.
Matticon.
