Vader: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
Motti: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebel's hidden for... (chokes)
Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Motti: (continues to choke)
Tarkin: Enough of this! Vader, release him!
Vader: As you wish.
Motti: (falls to table, breathing deeply)

EDIT: Misspelled "conjure".

Read my response to Warbler above. I am not talking about democracy, I am asking why are WE right and THEY are wrong.


Oh, dear lord, Ric, please drop the relativist bullcrap. We are right because we believe in the rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for everyone, even those who *peacefully* disagree with us. They are wrong because they riot and kill people over some friggin polticial cartoons, they treat their women like property and slaves, they send their children to blow up civilians in the name of some distant nameless Divinity who supposedly will give them virgins and wine throughout eternity if they kill the infidels! If that isn't evil, what is, Ric?


Relativism isn't "bullcrap," Chaltab. Do you honestly think anyone we've fought against truly thought they were wrong? That they openly embraced the dark side? Of course they thought they were right, just like we think we're right. It's the inability to accept any opposing viewpoint as a legitimate viewpoint that leads to conflict in the first place. Yes, there are many exceptions. I have no idea what the hell led Germany to believe they were justified in the Jewish genocide, but they obviously thought that. Conversely, the fundamentalists you mentioned obviously think we're completely wrong as well for having what they view as a sinful, partying lifestyle with no responsibility and no adhering to the same rules that they so staunchly follow.

I never looked at it like this before. I always believed Luke ignored the emperor and focused on Vader.


I believe that's generally the way it's perceived, especially since that was what the Emperor was telling him to do all along.

Well, actually I have seen AWK before but I can't remember what it stands for.

(yes this implies that I have put two and two together, ie. making his name into an acrynym and vice versa to understand previous discussions. and yes this also implies that I have an insanely awful memory because I have forgotten already.)

Did he have an Obi-Wan ID pic?


Yes.

I can't see the picture you posted, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I remember hearing a rumor recently that Universal's new direct-to-home video line (the one that made that new useless sequel to American Pie) wanted to do a BTTF4. And I really hope they don't. Is that what you're talking about?

And there's a way to find out if your discs are screwed up or not. First, I'm assuming you have them in widescreen, otherwise there's nothing to worry about, as the fullscreen in this case is the full picture. Along the bottom edge of the discs are the copyright information. If you have the fixed versions, 2 and 3 will have a "V2" written at the end of that copyright info. Here's what you should look for:

"C 2002 Universal Studios. 10 universal City Plaza, Universal City, CA 91608. All Rights Reserved. V2" If the V2 (for Version 2, obviously) isn't there, then you have the misframed versions.
