assistant: .
A) Yes, Tarkin's got balls. But obviously, Vader respects him, or he
wouldn't do anything he says. So Tarkin has that confidence.
we can tell that Vader has contempt for Fett (by his use of :bounty
hunter", etc like you said), and yet Fett still talks back to him!
B) Lando has just struck a bargain with Vader and had it borken when he
yells, he's not being brave, he's doing irrational things. i am
surprised Vader didn't crush his windpipe, and i think the only thing
that saved Lando's life was the fact that GL had written him into
RotJ...
C) All Vader did was ppush the gun down to keep Fett from shooting. It's
not like Fett's never taking orders, either, i mean, that's his JOB.
taking orders to kill people, taking orders to capture people, doing
what the people in charge tell him to. he is a hired soldier.

but you are correct, most of the books are crap. however, the Tales of

information on the littel background characters of Star Wars. i
recommend them.
