Darth Vader's suit
Time

Darth Vader1 said:

I was hoping to see a scene in ROTS of Anakin in a bacta tank. It’s like they just put the suit on over burned flesh without even removing the remainders of his clothing or cleaning the burned skin. I know those burns would have hurt, but a good bath with some scrubbing would have probably helped alleviate the pain of the burns overtime. I think it is also wrong that once the suit is done it is like he is just ready to go. You’d think a guy like that would need to rest in the hospital for quite some time with constant care to get over that. I could barely get out of bed for 2 weeks just after falling off my bike & scraping my hands bad.

That’s the entire point of that scene. It was done purposely that way in order to keep Vader in pain, angry, and subservient, and thus focused as a weapon of the Dark Side and not a redeemable human with good inside him.

Anakin could have easily overthrown the Emperor, and Palpatine knew this, but not if he was made dependent. Vader was a slave, not an equal, and we all know the Emperor was always on the lookout for a better replacement apprentice at every opportunity.

Maybe he goes into a medically induced hibernation type sleep that makes it ok for him to be sitting up.

I was in the grocery store the other day and they played Madonna’s Die Another Day. It was weird in that context.

Someone is posting the first draft of the Jurassic Park script on Facebook!
Time

28-31! The facility tour ends and we’ve met most of our main players as the dinosaur tour begins. No Muldoon yet. Very interesting!

No Richard Kiley, nothing about “sparing no expense” yet, either, which was a big callback in the book. I’m enjoying it because it follows the book much more closely, but it’s weird because it’s more streamlined in odd ways.

Also: Please let me know if you find images out of order. It’s gotten big enough that it’s harder to manage.
