Wrong. This is Star Wars. Everything takes place far, far away.

I for one like the idea of his chambers being away from the action. Having Piett march all the way into the bowels of the ship makes Vader seem even more menacing. And has anyone mentioned the risk of having an A-wing crash into the bridge?

I guess I just don't see any benefit in altering that outside 'set' portion to try to make Vader seem 'isolated from the action' of the Bridge, especially since the footage doesn't seem to indicate that. It all comes down to....a certain point of view, but I'll take whatever comes of course.

However, I don't think any kind of out-of-control A-wings perhaps crashing into the Bridge area would have been at the forefront of the Executor designer's mind, considering the protective firepower that it supposedly has. I wouldn't think it would have any bearing on where Vaders quarters were situated, and I blame pure bad luck (and sloppy marksmanship from the Imperials) for that outcome in ROTJ. ;)

And good to have Adywan confirming a few more things in his latest post.
