Yeah, I got everything. My kids only broke a few more than I did. |

That’s crazy. I hope you don’t min B but I shared the pic with two collector pals And neither had even seen them before. They look like the absolute best if you were playing with your figures as a kid. |

I suspect that I still have that, at least the base. |

I had a lot of those playsets and I remember ones that I didn't have but I don't remember that one at all. It was cool to see. |

How exactly did Luke manage to drag a mortally wounded Vader, unnoticed, to the hangar at the end? Also, this from page 7: Monkey_Driven wrote: Palpatine is dead. Anything that says otherwise is just terrible fanfiction.

He did die. But so did Yoda and Obi-Wan. It’s Star Wars, things can happen. |

I like the idea that the big blue flash that comes up the shaft after Vader chucks him down there, is palpatines spirit escaping. Silly head canon but fun. |

Well, it was either than, or Palpatine was so powerful that he caused some kind of reactor to explode. Neither is particularly believable, but it looked cool. |

Well it kinda makes no sense I can confirm that shaft runs straight down into the core. It’s in all the reference books. But you see the falcon and x wings flying in there and no problem. So it sorta makes sense it’s his spirit. |

Maybe the Rebels didn't even destroy the second Death Star. Maybe Palpatine hit the core and blowed it up. I mean, Lando was surely going down a fake tunnel, b/c there is NO WAY the Empire would build a giant, ship-sized tunnel straight to the core of the Death Star after a farmer chucked a torpedo down their last, 12-inch vent. They were on a goose chase, and the only thing that REALLY blew up the Death Star was Palpatine's immense, Dark-side power striking the real core. IT'S ALL RIGHT THERE!! |

You should start a YouTube channel with that kind of insight you’d make millions. |

Why the fuck would there be a shaft going from the core all the way out to the throne room? Does he like bathing in radiation or something? |

I really miss the original version of this movie. The Jabba’s palace musical segment is unwatchable trash. Guess I’ll have to dig out the VHS player from the basement. |
