vaderios said:Its a damn lift . thats how vader and luke reached the tower.
Not debating that it's a lift that Luke and Vader came up in, but clearly the enormous shaft the emperor falls into isn't just to accomodate a 2 man lift...
The fact that there's a lift is incidental, and doesn't make it exclusively a lift shaft. If it was, it would only need to be wide enough to accomodate the lift itsef. Hence, reactor.
Anyway, in the words of Tarkin, this bickering is pointless.
