That's been "explained"... as him not expecting to die, or something? Ben and Yoda both let themselves go...

They've also said Luke just burned Vader's armour.

If he just burned the armour, how come you can see his head in the fire (I think)?

no that was his helmet. You could be getting the image confused with the EP 1 scene where they burned Quin's body.

Quin?

You mean "Qui-Gon Jinn" ?

That's the point Jan.... He didn't disappear. Which would imply that he did not "become one with the force".

Question one: Why not?
Question two: How come you can see his ghost?

Maybe he DID dissapear but it isn't shown.

Joren: Aye, that's who I mean.

Before I say anything, I'll note that I'm just repeating GL's claims.

"Anakin Skywalker" disapeared when he died. The armour remained because it was "Darth Vader" - remember that Anakin only became Darth Vader after his near-death. So, therefor, when Anakin died and vanished his armour did not, because it wasn't part of Anakin... or something.

Quickie version: GL is dumb.

You know you guys take this shit way too seriously?

I mean, I know GL fucked up and the DVD is shit. Lighten up. Even back when Lucas hadn't gone insane/senile, its not like he was the most perfect fucking guy in the world. It doesn't all have to make perfect sense somehow. Maybe George just fucked up the original RotJ when you could see Vader's body. I highly doubt there is some 'greater answer' behind it all.

Well, I saw ESB last night on DVD and it annoyed the hell out me about the new dialogue between Vader and the Emperor. I also hated he replaced Boba's voice. He now sounds like a moron.

I am going to kick GL's ass.
