It was merely a time filler, a transition scene. No tension. There's more excitement to be had from watching the pseudo-romance moments with Luke and Leia. Even as a 6 year old talking about the movie in the schoolyard the next day we were all over that and the death star moments with Vader -the scenes where you weren't sure how it would play out.Too much plot immunity can mess it up for a film as well. As an adult when I watch action movies the scenes with mooks don't catch me - I just see them as setting up for the real scene, you could drop them or change them to non fight scenes without much change in the story.Compare it to a film like Full Metal Jacket - there's not a fight scene in that entire flick were you don't wonder if we're headed for a TPK. As such, the conflicts in it grab you a lot stronger, make you feel them much more, and leace you savoring the drama in between with that much more interest. It matters more. Even if the movie's genre as a whole is not my style.</blockquote>
