R2 and 3PO units are all over the place in the old republic so its possible that Anakin wouldn't recognize one or 2 droids. Also in the original trilogy Darth doesn't come into contact with artoo-detoo or see-threepio.

The Tantoinee thing I have no idea, besides making padme look still pregnant when they buried her, I have no idea why if the twins were so powerful with the force that emperor didn't get the force email.

I also never understood why Tat played so much importance in the 2nd trilogy when its such a backwater world in the outer rim.

Vader never directly encounters the droids, and once Luke is revealed to him, the question becomes moot. He knows the score.

I think what you're bemoaning is the lack of the "let me announce the obvious in a speech" revelations so common in movies for the weak minded.


Now back to the ass waxing discussions.

Vader does come into contact with Threepio on Bespin. The comics expand on the backstory here:



I would guess that since Luke & Leia were never trained at all, their Force presence was never revealed until they started utilizing the Force themselves. Leia communicated with Jacen and Jaina while they were still in the womb, so they were already on their way to having that Force presence. Not so with their mother and uncle.

As for Tatooine, yeah...just too painful of a place for Vader to go to with all the memories there. Kenobi knew this and therefore made that planet his hideaway with Luke. This is why it became important in the second trilogy as well as being the planet of choice for Jabba. What better place to run a criminal organization than some backwater world in the outer rim, or as one stormtrooper in the short film "Troops" described it, "the ass-end of space."?

I've always been content to just be all like, "that movie is stupid" (sorry Chris'n'Darin), but now I have a reason to be all like, "that movie is stupid because it makes no SENSE", which I appreciate. kthx.

.... I have no idea why if the twins were so powerful with the force that emperor didn't get the force email.

Somebody explain this shit to me.



Darth Vader owns R2D2 for a good part of his life.
He also BUILT C3PO when he was like 8 years old.

AAAAANNNNNDDDDD, he buried his mother at Uncle Owen's crib.



How the fuck:
1) did he not EVER once go back there , and stumble upon his children?
2) not remember the droids in Episode 4?




Sorry, this is disturbing my ass this morning.

I will say this, if lucas had yoda say on Dagobah when he was talking to Obi-Wan something like "Watched him I have, dark side protected him i have, still a jedi he must not be." would have made everything moot.

and that's my problem with Lucas, he shouldn't be allowed to write screenplays. Cause according to the myth, Georgie knew all of this before he put pen to paper, yeah right.

Maybe there are alot of droids that are the same make & model (like cars)

You're wrong...it's Chewbacca that makes no sense!

actually there is a board somewhere that states that Chewbacca is the backbone of the rebellion and the main mover behind the scenes.

ill edit it in.

Although the Death Star plans need to get to Yavin as soon as possible, Obi-Wan needs to make one more diversion first. If the Empire knows that Leia is a Rebel leader, then they also know about her father and the whole Organa family may need immediate evacuation. Fortunately, before coming to Tattoine, R2 had already arranged transport, which is waiting at Mos Eisley, under the command of the Rebellion's other chief field agent and espionage asset. Chewbacca.

20 years earlier, Chewbacca was second in command of the defence of his planet. He's there in the tactical conferences and there on the front lines and is a personal friend of Yoda's. When he needed reliable people to join the embryonic Alliance, who else would Yoda turn to but his old friend from Kashykk? Given his background, there is no way that Chewie would spend the crucial years of the rebellion as the second-in-command to (sorry Han) a low-level smuggler. Unless it's his cover. In fact, Chewie is a top-line spy and flies what is in many ways the Rebellion's best ship.

The Millenium Falcon may look like a beat-up old freighter but it can outrun any Imperial ship in normal space or hyperspace, hang in a firefight with a Star Destroyer or outmaneouvre a dozen top-of-the-line TIE fighters. It's a remarkable feat of engineering and must have cost a colossal fortune to build. How does Han come to own a ship like that? He only thinks he does, actually it's Chewie's. Half-way through RotS, we see the Falcon landing at the Senate building on Coruscant. If it's the same ship (which of course it is) then it was the personal transport of one of the senatorial delegations - a much more likely source to commission its design. That delegatino must have later joined the Rebellion and given it the use of the Falcon. In fact, if the delegation is the one from Kashykk, then the ship may have belonged to Chewbacca as early as RotS.

Han is Chewie's front man. It's much better, and safer for him, if he doesn't know what's really going on. Chewie used to work with Lando Calrissian in a similar way but Lando wanted to settle down, so Chewie arranged for him to lose the Falcon in a card game to Han Solo, an even better choice as partner. Han and Chewie's working method is pretty much what we see in the cantina scene: Chewie make the contacts and sets up the deals, then turns them over to Han who haggles over the price and gives the final yea or nay. This lets Chewie wander the seamy underside of the galaxy pretty much at will, making contacts, gathering and passing information with no-one was the wiser, especially not Han.

just a piece of the op.

well done that man.

Imago said:

Well, he had no reason to go back there. As far as he knew, there was nothing for him there. He didn't know about the children.
