@markbird1: no offense intended, my friend! Just making fun of my own witty remark ;)
Still, I think it's completely unnecesary to show Dak covered in blood. As many posted before, there's no need to be Captain Obvious all the time: when I saw the film for the first time (I was 10 too), I didn't have any problem to imagine that Dak was down with the laser hit so he wasn't able to answer Luke, it all made perfectly sense as it was... and I tell you Ady is not going to add a shot of Dak bleeding, because that's what GL would do :P
