Hot, horny and single. All those would be true about Vader. The first one literally in the context of this thread.
I was wondering about that too. Was it his armor or a Force thing?
Ladies and gentlemen, Rule #34.
I always thought it was a Force thing. You can’t just kill Vader with a blaster.
Wow.
And I was just going to make a fire-resistant joke. :smack:
In case it hasn’t been linked yet, here’s too much info about Vader’s injuries! (“Get a life will you people!”)
His body disappeared when he became a force ghost like when Obi-wan and Yoda died
The suit was all Luke had for the ceremony
And it’s a great visual for the movie
Yeah, if the armor is properly sealed, it becomes an Uncle Ben (Kenobi’s) Boil-in-the-bag Sith lord."
Can I get fries with that?
Did they actually do that for the Bluray edit, or is this just a fanwank? Cuz his body didn’t disappear in the old edits.
What’s going to suck is if Han, Chewie & Leia die but they don’t get to be force ghosts with a happy ending. I guess Leia could go force ghost, but Han and Chewie are screwed.
Chewie didn’t even get a medal at the end of ANH. I wouldn’t hold my breath for him to become a Force ghost.
I know. As a Wookie Rights Activist I’m offended Chewie gets treated like a second class citizen.
I don’t think you’d want a happy ending from Chewie.
Now Leia, that’s another story.
In some story in the EU, which is apparently no longer canon, they revealed that Chewie didn’t get a medal at the end of Star Wars only because he was too tall for Princess Leia to put one on him. He did get awarded one after the big ceremony.
Well, that’s gotta be a plot hole. Qui-gon Jinn, Obi-wan, and Yoda got to be Force ghosts. With Obi-wan and Yoda, we are shown that their corporeal bodies vanished. And in the closing scene of Return of the Jedi, we see Anakin Skywalker (being redeemed at the very end, no longer to be referred to as Darth Vader) appear as a Force ghost too. So we should have expected his corpse would disappear too.
I’d heard that, but color me unconvinced. He couldn’t have knelt? They couldn’t have brought out a royal stepstool for Leia? Harrumph.
Maybe only the human parts vanished and nobody noticed because “he’s more machine than man now.”
I’m pretty sure that featured in the Star Wars Holiday Special …
I’ll fanwank that Wookies, or some Wookies, have a cultural belief prohibiting the wearing of such frippery, akin to Jehovah’s Witnesses not celebrating holidays.
