I'm not calling him Dave.

You are calling him Dave Vader.

I can't remember...did you ever figure out if Lord Lord would work, or did you decide not to use it?

I haven't thought about it any more.  It doesn't come into play until the end of ROTR, and I'm a long way from that.

I came across this while reading the Revisited thread for ESB. Perhaps it could be incorporated into this edit?

Luke really needed to listen to his ELO mix tapes on the way to Dagobah.

It really would be funny to have something like this as a DVD extra. :) Something from the 70's could be playing. Maybe a Star Wars song by Meco! Haha. Actually, that's more elevator music material.

I just thought of a funny scene. You know when Luke is going through the depths of Cloud City, following/getting away from Vader, and he steps in that tunnel that light up? What if the usual circus music came on and those like started blinking? Heh.

Since Yoda is so old, I think the effects of his age should begin to appear in tRSB and RotR (Ep. 6). What I have in mind is that there should frequently be long, awkward pauses, followed by "I am wondering, why are you here?" or just the last bit of that sentence. He could also stop talking mid-sentence, Luke could prompt him or be confused, and then he could start talking to himself or something like Gollum/Smeagol.

Some example monologue for Yoda talking to himself could be...

YODA1: He is too old, yes, too old to begin the training.

YODA2: 800 years have I trained Jedi, too old I am not!

YODA1: A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. My own council will I keep on who is to be trained!

YODA2: A serious mind have I! Hmm-hmm! (laughing)

YODA1: I cannot teach him, he has no patience.

YODA2: 800 years have I--

YODA1: Much anger in him, like his father.

YODA2: Hear you nothing I say?

He could have several debates with himself about whether or not to train himself, and it could go on and on...and more monologue:

YODA2: End your training now, choose the quick and easy path, as Vader did, become an agent of evil. Start down the dark path, forever it will dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did to Obi-Wan's apprentice.

YODA1: Much anger in him.

YODA2: Mudhole, slimy this is!

YODA1: My home this is!

It might be best to give Yoda a serious and a silly personality in tRSB and RotR to make it more clear to the audience that he is talking to himself. All of the examples I gave use available dialogue, and I only scratched the surface of what you could do with him.

If you want a good list of Yoda dialogue, there is a lot at http://www.yodajeff.com/multimedia/sounds/ mostly from tESB and RotJ.

I like the idea of a Gollum/Smeagol Yoda conversation!

Vader: Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father.

Luke: He told me enough!  He told me you killed him!

Vader: No, I am your father.

Luke: That's not true.  That's impossible!

Vader: Totes ma gotes.

Finally a post here! This thread's been dead for two months.

If you can make it obvious enough that the noise is coming from them, AT-ATs should bark (high-pitched yipping, preferably). Maybe you could sync the barking sound with lasers firing.

^hilarious.

 Is that sarcastic, or did you mean to write "HILARIOUS!!"*?

*Or maybe the watered-down version: "Hilarious!"?

Vader should deflect Han's fire with Wonderwoman's bracelets or similar.

I wonder if there is enough Harrison dialogue out there to change the line to, "Laugh it up fuzz-crab"?

There's a pretty good one called "Star Wars Minute" in which two guys and a guest go through Star Wars one minute at a time. 

That's pretty cool, they're on minute 35 of Empire, the one where I always think that Vader walks through an airport metal detector when he enters the base. Someone needs to add the metal detector sounds at that point.

TV's Frink said:

Someone needs to post that in the right place so I don't forget.

You're welcome. ;)

Perhaps Old Ben's ghost could say to Luke on Hoth, "There you will learn from Yoda. The Jedi Master who instructed the Jedi Master who instructed the Jedi Master who instructed me."
