- it had an RPG/ Lord of the Rings series of events journeys to it.
- the skull borers; raising the horror factor a bit, even if for only a moment
- Could Darth Vader be Luke’s last hope to learn about the Force?
- Is Vader a tragic victim of the Rebellion? Always being punished for their victories?
