I just watched ESB (the special edition), and paid attention to this series of shots.

It's not even the line that annoys me the most. Or the shot of the Lambda shuttle flying toward the Executor. It's the fact that they cut away to an extremely slow shot of Vader landing on the Death Star in the middle of what is supposed to be the most tense part of the film (the rescue of Luke). In an instant, all of the drama falls away and we are left to stare at a miming Moff Jerjerrod. Why?!
