Write your reply.

assistant: So true, John!  You can actually see how they spliced the footage of him
using the Force in from the original.  As we all know the stormtroopers
in the background during that scene vanish, come back, vanish again,
now, thanks to you and me we know the answer why.  There was cut footage
there.
I also dislike how they cut the scene of Obi-Wan slaughtering the Jawas
and Lukes family.  When Obi-Wan first found out the droids landed (all
he had to do was look up and see the escape pod launch during the
battle, and before that Leia's father called him to tell him they were
coming, so he put two and two together) he went to get them, but Luke
had already purchased them.  So, in his anger he masacred all the Jawas
and then waited patiently for Luke to be alone in the canyon where he
could impress him with that stupid growl.  He then ever slightly led
Luke to the destroyed sandcrawler and tried to say the Empire did it
(remember, he was upset at the Death Star incident) and when Luke
freaked out about his family, you saw how Obi-Wan tried to stop him from
going home.  His uncle would tell him the truth!  So, Obi-Wan using his
Jedi Powers teleported to Lukes home and killed Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru
in cold blood.  Stormtroopers showed up to try and protect them, but
Obi-Wan drove them off in a hail of Force Sand.  Obi-Wan then returned
to the sandcrawler to cook and eat the Jawas just by the time Luke got
back.
He is a sick, sick old man.

They wrote:

Write your reply.

assistant: It was actually Vader who was called Lord of the Sith.  And you will get
many people telling you that the Sith are a race of aliens that the old
evil Jedi used to rule over.  It is covered in the Star Wars comics,
"Tales of the Jedi."  But don't believe that.  Only Lucas knows what the
"Sith" are/were.  In the movies Vader is never called that, and I'm
guessing it was a thread dropped by Lucas. The most believable report,
and the one that has been around the longest, is that the Sith are a
race that needs to wear special breathing equipement to live (like
Vader, he is just their leader, originally Vader was not disfigured
under that).  But that was changed.  I would wait until the new movies
to find out what the Sith are, and if they are not mentioned in them
then forget the Sith even exist.

no reason to use it of course.  The Emperor didn't have a lightsaber and
he could have taken Vader and Luke if not for his not thinking that
Vader might turn.
People are going to far with Yoda and stuff.  Yoda was old AND weak.
True, a Jedi Master but I'm willing to bet that the Emperor or Vader
could have taken him AT THE TIME of the movies.
