<p>I <em>still</em> think that you could just cut out Vader's arrival in the beginning of <strong>JEDI</strong> and just start with C3P0 and R2 walking up to Jabba's palace, and leave the reveal of the Death Star 2 when the Emperor arrives.&nbsp; Vader's arrival to the DS2 adds nothing and is redundant, as we're reintroduced to the DS2 with the Emperor.</p>

<p>Disagree. Vader's arrival and conversation with Moff J sets up the ominous news that "The Emperor is coming here?!". The fear in J's voice, followed by his immediate, trembling resolve to redouble his efforts, tell the viewer a <em>lot</em> about the Emperor.</p>

<p>But you get all of that when the Emperor arrives.&nbsp; You don't need Vader to talk the Emperor up when he comes off as ultimate evil right out of the (shuttle's) gate, <em>not to mention</em> Moff J is pretty much a useless character, as you never really see him much (other than that one scene, and the rest were cut out).</p>
<p>And what is up with the coding on the talkbacks?</p>
