[net.sf-lovers] Food for thought...........TESB, the "other, etc.

   Another thing I forgot to mention....

     When speaking about the dark side of the Force, Yoda says something to the
effect that once the dark side takes over, you are forever in its sway.

     That would tend to rule out a turnabout by Vader.  Does anyone remember
the exact quote??

   The other day, I saw TESB for the second time. 
   The scene in which Darth Vader wards off Han's blaster fire using the
   force answered one of those questions which had been bothering me since
   I saw Star Wars for the first time, to wit, how can our heros stroll
   through barrages of enemy fire without getting even singed while 
   the Imperial Troopers fall right and left.  Obviously the force
   (as well as the necessity for character continuity) protects them and
   redirects enemy fire.  

     And I thought that the guys in white armor were just incredibly 
     bad shots...

I think the force is with Han Solo, too - although he's not the other.

I should point out however that Han did NOT hit Darth Vader in the death
star battle.  He hit Vader's wingman, and that ship went out of control
and crashed into Vader's ship.
