And how exactly would he find out about Yoda’s location?

Well it was a bit of a joke but… Yeah he senses him and hunts him down like he did before because he knows Obi-wan is no longer around to train Luke.

Unlike in the films he keeps on saying “Obi-wan has taught you well” even though he killed obi-wan after a few days. Obi-wan as a ghost only really provided guidance for Luke not really any proper training or at the very least it was quite minimal.

He was not meant to die in star wars that is why Yoda was created so Luke had a mentor again. But Vader was meant to hunt down and murder the Jedi was he not?

It’s either that or propel Yoda into the plot somehow other than just die peacefully. So that Hero death was a bit of a weak point.

If anything it was a missed opportunity Vader and Yoda in a scene together whatever the outcome it would have been really interesting.

I could actually imagine more Yoda and the Emperor with some cool dialogue and perhaps Vader Subdues in the background perhaps the Emperor sends in his muscle on Yoda or something like that.

It means I wrote a large post but then realised it was all nonsense and deleted it.

Not enough people read the EU.

People don’t like extensive deletion of posts 'round these parts. If this is like, just after you posted and immediately deleted it, then I don’t really care. I don’t care much anyway though, so no need to listen to me.

The fact that Leia loses her planet is extremely under used in her characterization. For ANH, that’s okay or whatever, because it’s a standalone fantasy fun adventure film. We don’t want a moping Princess being saved. But still. In ESB, there is no mention, same with ROTJ. Unfortunate. (On a similar note some people criticize Luke’s lack of reaction to his family’s death, but I think the fact that it provokes him to join the rebellion is about enough.)

There are also a large number of character and story problems with ROTJ, but these have been discussed at length.

As well, the acting isn’t perfect. I have arguments with my friends often about what is the best film trilogy and I always say the OT, but I always have to concede acting to stuff like LOTR, The Godfather, The Dark Knight, etc.

I don’t know he seemed to wanna join the rebellion long before that happened but could not since his uncle would not allow it.
