The TIE Fighter Pilot Who Saved The Day in 'Star Wars'
Time

This highlights the key difference between the TPM (and the PT in general) and ANH.

The TIE pilot's panic is a human response, without it things may not have gone well for the Rebels but ultimately he panics because of Han and Chewie's human/Wookiee decision not to bail out on their new friends and their skill at shooting the first fighter and remaining undetected when entering the battle.

Luke has a free shot at the exhaust port because of a chance panic but it's his skill and his decision to trust the Force to guide his actions and not the previously demonstrated inadequate targeting computer.

In TPM Anakin is in the fighter by chance, in the battle by chance, slips through the shields (possibly by skill but we can't rule out chance) and fires at the reactor by chance and luck has it it's a direct hit.

The only skill he shows is escaping the hanger in time and these are skills we have already seen him using with greater effect in the podrace.

It's a dead conclusion, the kid has not grown at the end of the story, he hasn't learned anything new.

Fate or the Force or Lucas has done all the hard work for him.

 

 I always assumed VADER was the one who "panicked", vader is distracted by Han ("What!?") and crashes his fighter into the other (or they both could have been distracted and rammed eachother)

"That's not a "deleted" scene. Mark H. himself said that he never did that scene. What you see is someone else playing Luke. Big whoop."

Nonsense. It's a deleted scene that was cut out late in post, hence the score and effects being complete.

 from the official site

Star Wars fans were treated to a glimpse of bonus material, in the form of a long-lost deleted scene from Return of the Jedi. The scene has long been talked about online -- a sequence that depicts Luke Skywalker assembling his new, green-bladed lightsaber prior to infiltrating Jabba the Hutt's palace. After completing the Jedi weapon, Luke stashes it in R2-D2's dome. What makes the Jedi deleted clip so remarkable is that it made it all the way to postproduction before it was cut, so it is a rare example of a cut scene with completed visual effects and music.

Actor Mark Hamill came out to describe the scene, remarking that once again his original introduction in a Star Wars film was cut out (his Anchorhead introduction was, of course, cut from A New Hope). Luke's intro is purposely played as ominous, with his face cowled in shadows and his intentions unclear."I had the black cloak, the glove, and I thought, wow, this time around I get to be the antagonist. Little did I know I was predicting the path of the prequels," said Hamill, noting the similarities to Luke in this scene and Anakin Skywalker's appearance.

Not only the "ommhhh" from the special edition sounds like Vader through his mask, but in addition you really recognize James Earl Jones voice what is not the case of the old one.

I agree. The SE sounds more like vader rather a random arg from a dude. Besides the pre SE sounds like someones is spiting after he was smoking for 30 years.

If you all stacked with the pre SE arg i suggest adding a more robot effect to the voice like ady did in ANH:R? I still vote for the SE one


-Angel

 they both sound like Vader/Jones, end of story, in fact the AAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH! sounds more like Vader/Jones to me

thejediknighthusezni said: The problem is really the first two of Leia's quips (""Would it help..." and "This bucket...") Those two set the tone for everything that follows up to the kiss, and her tone of voice and  facial expressions seem just flat-out angry. They were trying to redo the ANH DS+Falcon relationship, but with everything Han just did, It's a little too much, IMO. My problem with it, since my first viewing of ESB, was that it doesn't seem to align with the circumstances. When Leia showed only anger towards Han in the sickbay, there weren't 10,000 Stormtroopers within seconds of landing on top of them. It just didn't ring right for me. Apparently, I'm not the only one. The whole 'Family Guy' bunch has pains-takingly animated a concern I had as a boy, 30 years ago. I would like to see her show some situational awareness, not go any lighter on Han. As it stands, the pure anger she displays in those two quips tilts the whole boarding to kiss sequence a little too much into the 'Single minded angry nag' area, IMO. but thats the reason the scene is so awesome

 

but thats what makes the scene so great IMO i mean it annoys han so much that when Threepio says something to han he (han) puts his finger up basically saying "Shut up Goldenrod" and then goes into the cockpit and has to hit the falcon to get it to start,

and besides she doesnt seem so mad as she seems tired of han
