Hmmmm. Just watched the latest fan-o-matic and wanting to point out something I figured a while ago. In my head, I see the scene playing out thus:

Palps: I told you to remain on the command ship.

Vader: A small rebel force has landed on Endor.

Palps: You couldn't have told me over the phone?

I think making Vader a hologram in this scene could work — just cut the first line or replace it with something more suitable, and make the other cuts if you like, and it works just as well.
