This guy was a fag.
He's literally seen Vader kill people with it though
why would you even backtalk Vader?
>destroying planets is nothing compared to being able to choke people from a few metres away

in the EU powerful Force Users like Sheev could literally summon Force Storms that could fuck up entire fleets so he's not totally autistic.

The force in the OT is pretty clearly some kind of compelling destiny sort of power
The force is implied to be tied to fate itself, so I would say that the hand of god is stronger than anything they can make, and since the force put Luke in the right place at the right time and gave him the ability to blow up the superweapon Vader was 100% right
>in the EU powerful Force Users like Sheev
Palpatine doesn't have a first name in the EU, he renounced it to spite his father Cosinga. Sheev is mouse droppings.
Imagine the smell
because in episode 4, vader was nothing special but a dog for the emperor. a special counsel. motti was a high ranking official. notice grand moff tarkin (think like a governor level) commands vader around like nothing.

Wrong. Tarkin informs the board of officers that the Emperor has just dissolved the senate at the beginning of the scene Vader Force chokes Motti. And he's named as Palpatine in the book that came out a year before the movie even did.
If I was a Jedi I'd be depressed knowing that all my actions are just the will of the force
I'd probably use the will of my force of some twi'lek Jedi
I mean, if you were a high-ranking officer in a strict authoritarian regime and some spook in a crazy costume and mask implied to have magical powers with no stated rank was just pacing around your meeting with even higher-ranked officers, fucking with him would probably be a bad idea. Even if his powers aren't real, someone higher on the totem pole than you thinks they are.

>what power does a gun have compared to the hand of the person who wields it?
i challenge you to a duel. you have a choice between your fist and a pistol.
>Hey Smitty, you hear about what Vader did in the war council? He choked some staff officer half to death with some kind of mindpower from like 6 feet away and the poor guy shit his pants in the process. Had to sanitize the entire room.
great. palpatine doesn't exist in episode 4.
sigh
The point is that the force is some kind of analog of destiny
In this case if it's a duel of man with pistol versus unarmed man favored by the force, the force will arrange the universe so that the pistol shot misses and an anvil falls on his head
I get why the Stormtroopers accompany Vader, they probably respect how he slaps the officers around.
Impressive get and post
You only know the force wins because you've seen the end of the movie.
Vader after a co-worker tells him to stop interjecting bible verses into memos
Kreia when?
Nah, in the original Star Wars, Ben says the force "surrounds, binds, and flows" through everything, and the Jedi can feel and direct it to help him meet a goal. So the Jedi should be able to use the force to feel the intention of the shooter and either move to avoid the shot, or intercept the arm in some manner, as Ben did in Tatooine in the Cantina when he hacked off dudes arm.

Hello seth
He literally just proved he did retard. "La la im not listening" nonsense doesnt change this. Keep up
Vader is though. He's like a commissar, there to oversee certain things and represent the Emperor's interests. Palpatine doesn't just have to control worlds, he has to retain control of the military. You think that aggressive little shit armed with what he thinks is the ultimate power in the galaxy wouldn't consider a coup? What keeps them in line is Vader who could kill everyone in that room with minimal fuss
vader was about winning hearts and minds.

Sheev...Sheev, wake up. Have you ever heard of sliders?
Sliders were one of the specialties available at Dex's Diner. Like the rest of the food served there, they were greasy and unhealthy, but also cheap and filling. Sliders were small and square. Most were served with Mongo Beefhead patties on trans-shipped medium-density food-boards, although some replaced the patty with another base like firaxan shark fillet, which was used in the Manaan slider. When Dexter Jettster ran the diner, he rejected elaborated preparations, and merely grilled the food-board and perforated it with five holes. Sliders were popular among the diner's customers, and regulars would even travel light-years back to Coruscant to satisfy their cravings for them. To avoid gastrointestinal distress, patrons would often furtively take a mild antidote before eating the tasty food. Sliders were garnished with Dexter's so-called special sauce, to which some visitors accused him of adding small quantities of addictive drugs. He was a good friend.

Battle of yavin hadn't happened yet
And just like a rainbow after a storm, that single act of unexpected kindness made Vader felt something he hadn't felt in a while. All those pointless wars, all that unnecessary suffering. All that fighting for bringing order to a world that was chaotic in nature. Ever since he was a kid, all he ever wanted was to be a pilot. But that dream was quickly forgotten. Despite his many victories and conquests across the galaxy, no achievement could ever compare to the humble recognition by another person of a skill he had, like they were recognizing he had value, almost like he...matter. A single tear rolled down his cheek. To Motti's surprise, he gave him a big hug and quietly said with a broken voice through his mask, "thank you". Even if he couldn't return to his pilot days, he could still train other kids like he once was and prevent them from committing the same mistakes he made. Vader left and never looked back. To a simpler life, without hate or fear, but with acceptance and peace.
That's just where he lived. He brought in bitches from Mos Eisley all the time, though, which is why he knew exactly where to go to find the sketchy pilots.

nah, baring 2 the prequels were atleast a visual spectacle to look at. meme podracing or darth maul's fight but they are much better scenes that any tie fighter chase or fight scene from the nu trilogy.
only way it can get worse is if they try even harder with the progressive themes and comedic bits so it ends up like a remake of space balls with a minority recast.

Why does a retard like Vader have more power than an admiral? Why does Sheev keep building giant space balls instead of fighting the rebels? No wonder the Empire lost.

> gets Force choked by Vader

What a pussy.
Based
The Force can kill planets too.
> Motti's full name was revealed by Star Wars creator George Lucas on an episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien on May 1, 2007. When Lucas was challenged to a trivia question by a fan—Late Night Associate Producer Jordan Schlansky—as to the name of the officer who Darth Vader Force chokes in A New Hope, Lucas jokingly replied "Conan Antonio Motti", a tuckerization of Conan O'Brien's name. The name was then confirmed in-universe by Star Wars Legends novels and eventually in the canon novel Tarkin.
Yikes!
This. The Force is literally God in Star Wars.
Was Vader ever sent to speak with the HR?
See, that's how you do it. Fuck the lorefags.

Is their no HR on the ship? Is he allowed to get away with it because the CCTV footage doesn't show him physically choking someone?
Vader was supposed to be an enforcer, the lapdog of the emperor, not some super powerful space jesus. He was outranked by those moffs in the council.
This whole scene was a metaphor for the struggle between the dying old ways and the new 'materialistic' Empire.
He’s more a commissar; technically outside the chain of command, but retaining the ability to influence.
Underrated post
The death star is a sith weapon
yes, it blows up planets, but its real purpose is to instill fear in the people.
fear, power, malice, control...these emotions are where the dark side draws its power
By putting the entire galaxy into a state of terror, sheev was cementing his place as the most powerful sith lord ever.
Sheev is a politician, yes, but at his core he is a sith lord and like vader, believes the dark side is more powerful than ships and weapons.

It amazes me to this day how many people got pleb-filtered by Attack of The Clones.
Jango never wanted to kill Padme. The whole situation was a ploy by Palpatine to lead them to the clones and make them think they had discovered kamino on their own, while also pushing Anakin and Padme closer together so that Anakin would be more susceptible to the dark side.

Obi-Wan didn't know any of that though
He's supposed to be clever. I think he probably pieced most of it together

I know it's meant to be deep thought but it looks like he's having a very thoughtful moment.

KINDA agree. Too it looked like that Vader was a political officer and him and Tarkin knew each other on a personal level.
Since Tarkin is officially in charge on the station, Vader is not going to overrule a Moff for a trivial thing.

>That's it? He just choked a guy? Man I was on Vaders strike force during the last mission. He made us shut off all the lights and hang back while he just started wading through the rebels. And I mean literally wading man. He just fired up that laser sword of his and just started flying around effortlessly hacking down rebels and hurling them around with that magic he uses. It was bizarre, because Vader always just seemed kind of slow and plodding to me but this guy, man. It was almost like it was a completely different person from the Vader you and I know. Lieutenant Fett was even telling me the other day that Vader is actually a Yeddeye, one of those weird shaman that fought the clone wars that the Major keeps telling us never happened even though the Major himself has a medal for meritous service from the war.

Don't worry, that one was also me
I post some version of that in every Motti thread I see
Thank you for reminding me, I meant to go over sleep with you, too.
You see sleep is a biological process engaged in by many beings, both sentient and non-sentient, such as humans for the purpose of rest and rejuvenation. Sentient beings that slept generally did so according to a set routine and often utilized a comfortable piece of furniture, such as a bed, for the purpose.[1] During sleep, many beings experienced dreams, nighttime visions that often played out as fantastical versions of things they had seen in real-life. A lack of sleep could have deleterious effects on one's psyche.[2]
After Anakin Skywalker began experiencing Force visions during sleep of his mother, Shmi Skywalker Lars, dying, he began having trouble sleeping.[2] He later experienced this same problem after witnessing a Force vision during sleep of his wife Padmé Amidala dying in childbirth. Darth Sidious killed his master, Darth Plagueis, in his sleep.[3]
My word, you were there for that last one, weren’t you? I suppose he couldn’t have been a good friend.

Gotta look slick for when the Emperor visits in person.
Is that a real Woodoo Hide shine Lord Vader?
How many times a week do you buff?
Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed
The star wars comic shows him killing troopers all the time tho
What an absolutely fantastic scene.
Here you see multiple factions vying for power: The Death Star fanboys, the ArmyNavyfags, Tarkin, and Vader.
The ArmyNavyfags, represented by Tagge, are nervous that their significance in the Empire will wane with the Death Star's public reveal. They're making a stink about the stolen data tapes because they want to delay the station's activation.
The DS fanboys see that they have the chance to be the biggest swinging dick in the galaxy and are eager to get on with it.
In walks Tarkin and Vader.
Tarkin announces the dissolution of the Senate and states that fear of the Death Star will maintain order. While saying this, he looks at Motti, who smirks, thinking he's getting commended for being a loyal DS fanboy. So Motti gets a big head and boasts about the station's invulnerability. While saying this, he smirks back at Tarkin, he's playing it up, reaffirming his loyalty.
Vader admonishes Motti, pointing out that The Force is more powerful than the technological terror of the Death Star. It's important to remember that Vader, while technically under Tarkin's command, was placed on the station to be the Emperor's commisar and ensure nobody gets any bright ideas about using the superweapon to stage a coup. His statement is an open threat to everybody in the room.
Motti doesn't get the hint. He thinks the Station makes his faction top dog and believes he has Tarkin's backing because of those aforementioned smirks. He never explicitly doubts that the Force or the Jedi are real, just that, like the Imperial Navy, their time has come and gone. So Vader chokes him.
Everyone gets the point.
That whole scene of bickering officers and statesmen scheming for power in a polished board room is meant to contrast with the dusty, ragtag Rebel Alliance, which is always depicted as unified and focused in their goals. It is extremely subtle and well executed.
And yet all anyone talks about is
>Haha, he doesn't believe in Jedi, haha!
>"sticking it to that nigger Windu"
It's actually a good scene. Provides a clear background for the original trilogy, the state of the Empire, the fall of the Senate, and the construction of the Death Star in about 5 minutes, something the prequels couldn't do in more than 7 hours of convoluted nonsense.
>something the prequels couldn't do in more than 7 hours of convoluted nonsense.

holy fucking reddit
Great Jedi Purge? Are you kidding me Vader? Theres not enough evidence to support this ever happening.
the scene has always been a favorite of mine.
it helps it that the movie probably spends too long getting the droids to luke and luke to Obi Wan, to the point that we start to forget about the Empire, so the contrast is very strong.
This happened in the comics.
So something like Mauler as a Jedi, while Russel Greer is on the dark side?
>I don’t know about you but 6,000 Jedi seems like quite a lot
This. Combined with Obi-Wan’s tale and the capture of Leia, you learn everything you need to know about the backdrop.

I've seen this movie a million times but I never thought of how well-laid out it is. But of course it is, because no one forgets this scene; it's memorable and does a fantastic job of explaining everything in depth without even getting close to boring people. Lucas would have had a much, much better reception for the prequels had he taken the genius of this scene to heart.
It really helps hammer home the mystery and potential power of the force, too.
On the one hand, Vader literally lifts a finger to choke someone, remains perfectly calm, and never implies he's exerting the slightest bit of effort to do so.
On the other, the fact his face, breath and body are completely hidden means that we can't be sure he's just hiding any strain.
Much better than some over the top dickwaving or too deep 4 u shit.
I see the scene in a new light now, cool thanks user
Palpatine probably pushed out propaganda suggesting that the force was a myth and jedi were simply scam artists trying to subvert the republic.
Six million? Give me a break, Vader. I know you people aren’t very good with math, but seriously? Come on. Ancient magic? What the hell. Now tell me who are the owners of most star destroyers? What is the most common dual citizenship among politicians in the senate? Who are the owners of most media? It’s so obvious, yet nobody seems to care. At least, I’m proud to say that the Death Star remains free and uncompromised. But the name isn’t catchy enough. I’m planning to rename it the Daily Stormer. What do you think?

>Luke, did I ever tell you about the Sith Assassin Asajj Ventress?, She was the apprentice to Count Dooku (Who was a Good Friend) and was this Sexy Bald Dathomirian Lady who Dual Wielded Lightsabers. We used to fight all the time during the Clone Wars, and every time we did, Flirting would follow. She even saved my life from Darth Maul (who was ANOTHER Good Friend) and His Brother, Anyway, After she Rescued me, she suggested we let this flirting come to light and fuck, right then and there, after all Sex isnt forbidden for a Jedi, and the council wouldnt miss me for another evening. Ill tell you this Luke, she certainly knew her way around the bed, after all, Nightsister Culture is about Dominating Males, and ill tell you this, she certainly did. She even put on her Nightsister Leathers for me! Made me nut in seconds seeing her in that, She rubbed it all over her Smooth Head!. She was a Good Friend
>the genius of this scene
That motherfucker didn't know what he was doing, and he was FAR from being a "genius". Lucas stole that scene, as it's pretty much a direct ripoff of Kubricks "war room" scenes from Dr. Strangelove.
Pretty much every shot in "Star Wars" was ripped off from some other movie, be it a Kubrick, Kurosawa, or old school Buster Keaton film. Lucas is a hack.
>Lucas stole that scene, as it's pretty much a direct ripoff of Kubricks "war room" scenes from Dr. Strangelove.
Really?
>I remember watching you win the Boonta Eve Podracing Classic back on Tatooine with my old man back in 32 BBY
He looks older but the actor was only 30 when the movie was filmed.
Space. It's from space.
looks like the tortanic cinematic
You tell me.
He stole the entire "Han and Luke fight the Tie fighters after escaping the Death Star" scene pretty much frame for frame from a film called "12 O-Clock High" about bombers running missions during WW II.
Total hack. Him and his Jew buddy, both.
Do you watch movies on mute?
Something tells me you've never seen Dr. Strangelove

>it's bullshitting user relies on nobody having watched the movies he's using as a bludgeon episode
Haven't we had this rerun enough times?
wouldn't it have been simpler just to have Kamino contact them and state their army was ready instead of letting them go on a goose chase that needed to many variable to go right in order for it to work, especially in the case were they captured Jango only for him to tell them info that could jeopardize the whole plan.
>a few hundred Jedi in the entire galaxy
>everyone is supposed to think their powers are real
No. He used an exhaust port the designer purposefully left the cover out of the plans for so it could be blow'd up.
They would never capture Jango because he wasn't on scene at all, only watching. At least in theory.
Further, Palpatine needed Padme to think she was in danger to both prepare the senate for war, and to get Anakin to serve as her bodyguard so they could fall in love etc.
If Kamino just contact the jedi council, they would have immediately told them to fuck off and disband the army. But Obi-Wan finding it alone himself acts suspectingly and then we know the rest
>Ben was a stud.
go to bed, Ben, this is getting sad
>and ill tell you this, she certainly did

>could you choke Dantooine too Lord Vader?
At least the prequels somewhat explained how the Empire came to be, despite the execution being handled a bit clumsily.
The sequels didn't explain shit and only said that the nu-empire and rebellion existed. The only mention of politics came from the novels and from a fucking deleted scene.
Bullshit. Why would Vader give a fuck about him being called Anakin by some senile old woman?
Lucas Vader got his angst out of his system upon donning the suit, and became a pragmatic killing machine.
Disney Vader never grew out of his Linkin Park phase.
See? You faggots can have a good star Wars thread after all.
Why does this have me giggling so fucking hard?
>Lucas Vader got his angst out of his system upon donning the suit, and became a pragmatic killing machine.
>implying that EU Vader wasn't a sad moping sack of shit
Historical revisionists, leave
Yeah, that comic just made him look embarrassed:
>"This man is Anakin Skywalker"
>"Uh, n-no I'm not. SHUT UP!"
>implying that EU Vader wasn't a sad moping sack of shit
EUfags, leave.
>Lucas Vader got his angst out of his system upon donning the suit, and became a pragmatic killing machine.
Lucas made "Star Wars" for an adult audience, and that's clearly demonstrated by the fairly realistic and frequent depictions of violence, and adult themes throughout the entire film. We've got:
- Vader crushing a mans throat and killing him
- Leia blasting a stormtrooper
- Ben hacking off a dudes arm and killing another in the cantina
- Stormtrooper genocide of the Jawa's and Lukes only remaining family
That shit's pretty heavy for a kid flick.
It wasn't until "Star Wars" took off that Lucas got the idea to make it more kid friendly for (((marketing))) purposes.
He was pretty edgy in the legends EU. Even stabbed himself to kill a ressurrected Maul and then said that the only thing he hated more than Maul was himself. Basically, EU is garbage in general.
There was one good Darth Vader comic that they published in 2015 and since then a bunch of far less talented writers have been trying to do the same thing only they are shit. What the nucanon wants Vader to be like
>Anakin Skywalker was weak. I destroyed him!
What the comics keep saying instead because they suck
>m-muh Padme..
IDK why but reading those green text brought a tear to my eye
Well duel accepted, but for it to be an accurate metaphor, you get the pistol, but both your hands are chopped off
I won't call it adult per se but it was definitely for people between 15 to 24.
impressive
Holy shit kek
Loud and hard to overhear
dark vapour is my favorite character
this one is fucking gold
I bought a bunch of Empire propaganda posters and I wish this one came with it
requesting the CIA/Bane version of this
Not only that but he had to have it all blended into liquid and a huge fucking strawlike feeding tube
> eatin at the Death Star mess hall with my platoon after a costly victory on FeluciA
> serving us fried Acklay and a salad of different Felucian vegetation
> Vader stumbles in carrying a bucket with a red glowing plastic Krazy straw sticking out of it
> he plops right down next to me and my squad mates
> *robotic inhale* then a loud hollow *SLUUUUUUURP* through his straw
> Great intuition Theta squadron, the idea to cut down the trees and have them fall on the huts of the natives almost made me chuckle keep up the good work
> his cape fucking knocks over my blue milk as he gets up
> “Thanknyou Lord Vader!
Wookiee are Mexicans and gun fans gungans were niggers
> MFW Vader is your Death Star secret santa and he just gets you a $20 Subway giftcard. Great no effort, no thought gift -- Sith for brains.
this is actually a kino analysis for a kino scene
and i bet george lucas had nothing to do with it and fought AGAINST putting it in the film
look at me a quoted the thing
The hangar ...welding fumes and carries a distinct odor of ozone, a faint acrid smell."
I wish Darth Vader was my dad.
Quality post
Watch the prequels and then tell me what you think.
Just say he’s from a war movie or something
its crazy how memorable and quotable this scene is
the only prequel politics/senate scene I can remember and quote which had any impact was of course
"THE FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE, for a safer and secure society"
Most impressive
hello bump limit
I'll choose hand, you can choose pistol.
I beat you to death barehanded while your severed stumps flail uselessly at a pistol you'll never be able to fire.
The Council passed me over for promotion. You knew.
Tbh the political stuff in Revenge of the Sith was some of the prequels' most quotable lines
>So this is how democracy dies. To thunderous applause.
And
>I AM THE SENATE
But that was in part because George wanted to beat the audience over the head with the message. This scene is a lot more subtle and tells you a lot in a very short span of time, but still very quotable. Lucas is just terrible at writing.
Great post, user.
Made me appreciate Star Wars even more.
What is this a reference to?
