Vader is taken off guard by Luke's strength in the force, the Han is able to take him and his men by surprise. No one would actually say Vader was being reckless because he is so powerful, but it did almost get him killed.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-35708165984829100472015-06-17T15:32:39.334-07:002015-06-17T15:32:39.334-07:00Overall, I think Vader is a very disciplined villa...Overall, I think Vader is a very disciplined villain.

I'm just not trying to be blog-o-spheric about it. I don't care if I get followers or anything.

But it forces me to pay closer attention to the show than I might otherwise, because I sit through it once for fun, then a second time for details I may have missed, I have a notebook where I take notes and everything.

It also makes for an interesting contrast with the more cautious Darth Vader of A New Hope: "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed."The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.com
