1. The throne room is at the top of a very tall tower ( we actually get to see the tower once ). The elevator ( which DV uses all the time ) runs inside ( or at least along ) the wall of the tower . There is plenty of space left for the shaft . Why a shaft ? For the Emperor to draw power for those blue bolts , of course ! It takes a good deal of power to punch through the air ( with the greatest of ease .... there , I just couldn't resist it .... ). 2. The force doesn't seem to care all that much for blood relationships . Yes , I know , Luke , Leia and Anakin and all that sort of thing . But guess what folks , Uncle Owen is O-W-K's brother !!!!! (read the book carefully ) . That tiny bit of wisdom is disclosed by Obi-Wan himself in the scene right after Yoda's death , if I remember correctly .... Now back to my real work....
