No because Yoda and Ben are the only 2 Jedi that learned how to become one with the force, all the others had their remains burned after death

So, how and when did Annikin learn? And why didn't his body disappear? I mean, he shows up at the end of Jedi right along with Ben and Yoda, so what's that all about? Did he not "become one with the force"? And if not, what does "becoming one with the force" mean except that your body disappears?

Another change I'd like to see (and much more do-able than my last suggestion) is to remove the shot of Vader stepping on Obi-Wans robe after he disappears. It makes it seem that Vader has no idea what just happened. If he really did "help the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights" then not only would he know what happened, he probably expected it. Right?

Ha! That's the only guess I've ever had.

I don't absolutely hate the idea of using cg soldiers as long as it could be done convincingly.

Is there anyway to make the rebel soldiers at the end ceremony pivot in unison when they turn to face the front of the room? They all turn so casually and sloppily. Not very military-like at all. Yet the sound effects imply a sharp snap as they turn. I've got no ideas on how to do it, but I'd really love to see it done.

I've always wondered, who is the "new officer" and why was he added?

I think some sound effect could be used to make it clear that Luke was sucked into the vent.

I'll have to check, but... Isn't there already a 'sucking' sound when Luke gets sucked in?

It's always been obvious to me that he was sucked into a vent on the side. Interesting to hear that some people have been confused about what went on there.

D'oh!  Now I feel like I've been walking around with toilet paper stuck to my shoe for the last few weeks.

Thanks for the heads up :)

Haha!  No worries!

So Vader won the Ultimate Villain Award? That's so wizard!

What does that even mean?

Go watch TPM.

...

Better yet, don't.

 

Ah, it's one of those things. Thanks for both pieces of advice. I'll certainly follow you on the second one.

Well, you'd be amazed what you can fit into a small hole when it stretches.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the winning answer.

Heres my thought from another thread.

Saw "Darth Vader" on the Scream awards last night. He won for Ultimate Villain. The film montage had mostly OT clips with a few Ep.3 shots of Anikin. The entire event was lame as usual, but I found Vaders acceptance speech kinda funny. He mentioned hating all the constant changes and remarked that he wouldn't be surprised to see an ewok in the deathstar trench next time. Then George showed up as if to show the world that not even a guy dressed and acting as Darth Vader clamoring for the originals and a huge auditorium of cheering fans will change his mind about deleting the originals and continuing to add silliness to the films. blah.

An entire Sandcrawler falls into the sarlac? How big is that thing??

Also keep in mind guys that the Sith eyes were already established with Ian McDiarmid's make-up:

If you discount the Prequels, who's to say that Palpatine is even human.....with the strange Prune-face forehead looks kind of alien to me.

J

Looks alien to me too. One of my first disappointments in the prequels  was finding out he was supposed to be human.

I'm just beaten down by it all. The fan restorations, for some reason, don't bring me any solace. I guess I'm really disappointed in Lucas - a man I admired so much in the past. His contempt for the OOT seems like borderline insanity.

I haven't liked anything Lucas has done for almost 20 years, so I guess I've had plenty of time to put my sunglasses on and deal with it. I'll just echo Boost and Frink. The fantastic new restorations, fanedits and documentaries, and the recently released deleted scenes make this one of the most exciting times to be a fan.

I thought they specifically had him cut in half to leave no doubt about his death and to quash any hopes of seeing him again?

As soon as he got chopped I thought "they'll bring him back with robot legs." I actually thought this could be a cool way to show an early version of the tech that would create Darth Vader. I certainly didn't think he was gone for good. And wasn't it, at the time, assumed that he would be the Darth Vader of the PT?

The other suggestion, again some of you may not like, is having a different Death Star explosion... The original explosion just doesn't seem very realistic to me, there's very little debry just some yellow particles.

I'm for this. I've always felt the DS explosion was unsatisfying. It just sorta POP!'s.

I can't live without these movies, and yet I cannot have them.

Yikes.

Alright that was selfish, I'm sorry. But these movies deserve to be seen by everyone, and the idea that future generations will not be able to see these essential films of american cinema just scares me.

Haha, yeah, I'm with ya there.

Have you seen the original? Much better than the dumb American version.
