Re: Another STAR WARS thread
Grievous wasn't force sensitive. He was just trained w/ lightsabers and abnormally fast because he's mostly machine.
The life on Yoda's planet is what blocked them from seeing Yoda, not necessarily the dark side cave (which also helped, but wasn't the main reason). Vader was not even part of the military in ep 3 or 4. He was there on behalf of the Emperor. Once Luke was found he began being the head of the Empire behind the Emperor. Return of the Jedi is the Jedi as a whole and isn't Luke or Anakin. Same w/ Revenge of the Sith. And it was supposed to be named Revenge of the Jedi and the posters that have that are worth a ton. Yeah, SW nerd, read through most of the books up until about 25-28 yrs after ep 6. Really good for the SW geek in everyone.

Re: Another STAR WARS thread
Ahh thanks for clarifying!
Speaking of respect, I was reading about why Boba Fett was so revered/respected by Vader. (He was so insistent that Fett would be compensated for Solo if he died in freezing, etc.) Fett was also like the Pimp of Jabba's bounty-hunters. What book(s) outline why he is so respected/feared? -ZEN

Re: TL;DR Nerdy Questions...

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Also, afaik in ep. 4 it wasn't like Vader was 2nd in command for the whole empire. I remember the scene as moff guy as head honcho in the room, vader number 2 (although obviously special connection to the emperor). [/ QUOTE ] That's my point. Vader was second in command in episodes 3, 5, and 6. Why wasn't he second in command in 4? [/ QUOTE ] god im a nit. think of it as duel hierarchies- kind of like a SS and wehrmacht. vader is 2nd in the quasi-religous force driven sith heirarchy, but not necessarily the same for the regular military. In fact, he doesn't really have military rank. [/ QUOTE ] Let's use a modern example. Dick Cheney is the Vice-President and isn't in the Navy. Do you think some random Captain in the Navy would start shooting off at the mouth at him? And contrast the behavior of Tarkin and the random dude with Episode 5: everyone on the Star Destroyer, even the Admirals and Captains, were scared to death of Vader.

[/ QUOTE ] As my 5 year old is apt to ask, "How did Darth Vader build a second death star?" "Well, he must have had a lot of people help him" "But they were all killed on the first death star" uh.... right. well, a lot of them at least. Vader was the only survivor- must have jacked up his standing in the empire some.
