He's right, we are overthinking it, but somebody posed a question and we discussed. That's the cool thing about Star Wars - lots to think about. Before the prequels, I actually found it quite cool to imagine what the real deal was with Vader, what happened to him, what goes on in his mind, etc.

The 'improved ' Emperor lookd like absolute shit, plus the new dialogue was crap.

Also, on the VHS copies I own, I'm sure that Darth Vader's skin is pale white with pink scarrs, just like in RotJ. Maybe there is a problem with the DVD release at that scene?
No, I always remember him with a pink head, and I've only watched the DVDs once.

P.S Thanks for the info JediFlyer.

Er...No. I don't really like any rap, but I think I may have said that Dizzie Rascal was acceptable to my ears whereas most are not. I think he definitely has something that most other rappers don't, plus because he's English he stands out from the Dr. Dre clones, and I can relate to what he talks about more than the guys singing about killing cops in Long Beach.

Sure is.

Dunno if I believe your prof's kid wanted a piece of his mother though - he probably just didn't understand why daddy was allowed something he wasn't. I'm sure he's get just as angry if daddy was allowed to play with a toy truck and he wasn't.

Then again maybe it's true and we are all sickos who want to jump our Mums (or Dads).

Well, I can pretty safely say that, unless I make an extra special effort and maybe also do a bit of spamming, I won't make Jedi master tomorrow because I've still got 30 posts to go. But if you want to call a truce, maybe we can both log on and post back and forth and become Jedi Masters at the exact same time.

Failing that, I guess I pretty much lost the Gaffer/YIYF post war.

freud would say something really nasty about that. i hate freudian psych, it's such garbage.
What would Freud say about my brother and I having the same dream?


well his whole views were sexual tension and conflicts. and he'd probably say something like you both desire what each other has and live through each others lives in some connected way. but his theories were all mainly based on sex.

the part where you are being chased by a monkey (not sure what that would symbolize, maybe evolution who knows) means you're technically 'running away' from some repressed sexual feeling.
like i said, i don't believe in freudian psychology. Jung though dreams were important in psychology, but he didn't emphasis the whole sexual bit like Freud did.
Well, we were both pretty young when we were having the shared recurring dream (I was probably about 8, which would make him 6), so I'm not sure I really had any sexual issues at that age, repressed or otherwise. The bit about us both desiring what eachother has (talents, aspects of our personalities, etc) I would say is true even today, but in a respectful rather than resentful way (i.e I respect aspects of my bro that I wish I had, but I don't resent him for having them).

But the fact that we both had the same dream (and before anyone says one of us probably told the other which caused him to have the same or similar dream, that's not how it happened) is interesting. Maybe we have some kind of psychic sibling link. Maybe all sinlings have this ability?

I have no problem with minor inconsistencies either. If Vader was pink in ESB and then they decided it would look cooler if he was all grey and old looking for his unmasking in ROTJ, that's fine by me. For the same reaosn I had absolutely no problem with the Emperor looking a bit different in ROTJ than he did in ESB. But George Lucas can't think like that. He either has to alter one of the 2 so they match or make up some lame retcon excuse as to why this inconsistency isn't actaully an inconsistency but rather an intentional artistic decision.
