    Just a few observations after seeing TESB again the other day....

     There was NO music playing when Boba Fett took off with Han.

     My impression is that there is a definite resemblence, in both voice
and visage, between Obiwan and the Emperor.  I, however, failed to do the
incredibly obvious; could someone out there in Netland who intends to see
the movie PLEASE stick around for the credits and perhaps resolve the
controversy by noting who played the Emperor!!

     There are certain hints that Han is somewhat adept in the Force:

----He was the one who blindsided Vader during the battle of the Death Star,
without Vader being tipped off by the Force!

----He found Luke during whiteout conditions, with probably hundreds of acres
to cover. (Also note that he appears in the same spot as Obiwan's apparition!)

----Other than Obiwan, Luke, and Vader, he is the only one that I can remember
who uses a lightsaber!

----In the asteroid field, not only does he miss all the asteroids, but he
outmaneuvers presumably the best fighter pilots in the galaxy! (They were
part of Vader's fleet, hence more likely to be the best.)

----In the dining room scene, Vader must parry Han's shots before wresting
the blaster from him.  Vader should've been able to see in Han's mind that
he would shoot, or presumably some scared officer would've fragged him by now.


     Note: These are only observations/speculations.  I have no definite
op
inion.  I think I'll wait until RotJ.
