[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 190151, member: 79"] I never said Obi-wan was helpless. He simply wasn't defending himself. He even turned off his lighrtsaber, if I recall correctly. Luke saw it even before the pause. It seems more likely Vader paused because suddenly the his old foe was dropping his guard and he suspected some trick. I certainly would have in his position. [B][/B] Leia's torture scene is quite rightly not shown. It would not have fit the tone of the movie to actually show her getting tortured. I wouldn't read anything more into it than there is. Otherwisewe have to start questioning is Beru and Owen really died, since we never see them get killed. And from what I recall...Leia doesn't crack over that threat. She gives them the location of an abandoned rebel base. Dantooine. Leia neve says 'There's no such weapon!; that I recall. Checking the scriptseems to confirm that. Leia's the one who was getting the plans for the station to the alliance,she has to have a pretty good idea what the Death Star can do.;) [B][/B] What hapened to Beru and Owen is pretty obvious. Stormtroopers track the driods to the jawas. Then interrogate and kill the jawas. From there ther track leads to Owen and Beru and the same thing happens. Interrogate, then kill. I doubt there was any specific order to kill them,just a generic 'get rid of witnesses'. order. [/QUOTE]
