Imagine if it had stayed on when Obi-Wan died. His robes probably would've caught fire when the lit saber fell on them. :p One could almost make a version where it does that and when Vader pokes the robes with his foot, he's actually putting out the fire. Haha...oy.
Oh, um...ESB:R is cool.
Yes, and then Vader's cape catches on fire, and as Luke shoots the door control and everyone is getting onboard the Falcon, Vader is catching on fire and frantically trying to put himself out. Meanwhile, the stormtroopers try to put Vader out, only to realize just how easy plastic melts, much less the acrylic undergarments underneath.
Later, everyone on Yavin 4 is wondering: "Shouldn't the Death Star be here by now?" Whereupon an edit later and the DS is the Towering Inferno.
