I've always gone with the meditation chamber idea. And, yeah, it is just the helmet, not the mask, if you consider the figure based off of it to be accurate. There's a meditation egg playset that has Vader with removable helmet but not mask (as opposed to the standalone figure that removes the helmet and mask in one piece. So, logically, that's what it is. In terms of the movie, there are actually two opinions on the commentary about why this happens. According to Lucas, it's so we can see that Darth Vader is indeed human and not a robot, so his revelation at the end of the movie makes sense. According to Kershner, though, immediately after that clip, he said that it was to add mystery and ambiguity to Vader. "Is he human? Is he an android? We don't know!"

Wow... I mean... Wow, dude...


Heh, thanks. It would be nice, though, if some hot celebrity women would make cameos, though, and fall madly in love with me. Damn, not even in my dreams!

And, yeah, I used to have the falling dream all the time as a kid. Except with me, my dreams would end with me suddenly being on top of a high platform inside a three-ring circus tent, and then I'd dive off of it and wake up when I landed face-first. I haven't had that happen in years. However, when I'm lying in bed, not quite asleep, I'll often feel a sharp falling/landing sensation that will wake me up. My hypothesis is that I stop breathing (because I do that sometimes), and that's the feeling of me finally catching my breath. As a kid, I could control my dreams a lot of the times. I would become aware that I was dreaming and be able to twist its reality (to an extent) to my own will. And if things ever got too intense, I would be able to pull myself out of a dream and wake myself up at will. As a very young child, I would just blink to do that. As I got a little bit older, I would open my eyes really wide until my physical eyes popped open. I wish I could still do stuff like that.

I always have awesome dreams, and the usually have celebrity cameos in them too! I remember I've had Richard Dawson (from Family Feud), Rob Schneider, and Gavin Macleod (Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Love Boat) make appearances in my dreams. Last night was a really cool one. I dreamed that a John Gotti-looking mob boss was trying to climb up through a chimney-looking contraption. And, in my theatre classes, it was the end of the year, and our class uniforms were Jedi robes. And my professor used a special wand to make glyphs appear on the walls.

I'd have to say Groucho Marx. While Karl was good on political ideology, he didn't seem like the real active sort, although I could be wrong. Nevertheless, Groucho is much more physical, as evidenced by his movies. First he'd trick old Karl with a disguise to get him to pay him all his money. A few slapstick moments and a cigar-shimmy later, and Karl would be stranded out in the cold in his communist shorts!
