Regarding the electro-needle this was posted in the ESB:R thread :

Maybe some sort of heated prong could be inserted into the shot instead of the needle

Just to add something to this little aspect at this point - a while back I was lucky enough to get a screenshot preview of the way that adywan intends to re-do his version of the 'Torture Droid's needle.

Although I can't divulge it's description, I'd just like to confirm that most people should absolutely love his latest version! It looks terrific and I'm looking forward to seeing it in motion. :)
