Tarkin in the clone wars. — Page 3

I hope the plan fails... remember, at Cloud City they were unsure if Solo would survive. It'd make for something really dark.

I think they were unsure BECAUSE NO ONE HAD EVER DONE IT BEFORE!

With Cloud City's equipment.

What's left to explain?

Vader's dialogue regarding the carbon freezing:

This facility is crude, but it should be adequate to freeze Skywalker for his journey to the Emperor.

He doesn't seem unfamiliar with the process.

I don't know why some of you don't complain about they using blasters. After all, it's lack of creativity too, isn't it?

If carbonite exists in the Star Wars universe, in what sense does it show lack of imagination? It's not like a villain is frezzing someone in carbonite to see if the facility is okay for his plan to succeed.

Carbon freezing is used once.

It doesn't make it a unique event. The dialogue of the scene indicates that. Neither does this episode make it common.

Wow this thread has de-evolved into a TFN apologist piece.

What's a TFN apologist?

Anyway:

Here. (For those interested...)

Complaints start in 3... 2... 1...

What's a TFN apologist?

TheForce.net apologist.

Someone who excuses everything Lucas does.

Oh, but I don't.

I think it's much stronger than that.  An excuse admits that there is some wrong doing.

An apologist champions the thing, not merely, er... apologizes for it.  Regardless of the etymology.

Remember that the semantic range of the English word "apology" is significantly different than that of the Greek work απολογια, whence our English word is derived. Απολογια does not have the sense of "an expression of regret" or "the seeking of forgiveness," but rather "a strong defense." So an apologist is someone who defends a particular school of thought.

Classically, "apologetics" and "polemics" have been closely tied together, with apologetics being the defense of one's particular ideology, and polemics being an attack on contrary ideologies.

Luke is shaping up to be something like Bill Murray in The Man Who Knew Too Little.

Apparently everyone knows what's going on but him.

Maybe in the course of TCW, Luke will also go on a zany space adventure and learn all about the Force, the Empire, and Vader being his father. But then, after he returns to Tatooine, Captain Antilles will have his memory wiped so that ANH sill works.

lolz everybody.

I hope annoying kid Han Solo is there to fly him around on A millennium falcon.

Can a good carbon freeze wipe your memory? ;-)

Maybe Richard Lester's Superman shows up and kisses everybody.
