Yeah. Vader was ignoring Jerjerrod telling him he had to wait, Jerjerrod shoved between him and the elevator, Vader objected, and the guards immediately leveled their pikes at Vader, which apparently surprised him, as he held off long enough to let Jerjerrod gasp out that it was at the Emperor's command.

Point is, their loyalty is to the Emperor. Anyone they're seconded to will know that. Forget it and think they're answerable to you at your peril.

Well apparently the story of what happened to the two guards when they tried to stop Yoda never made the rounds in the Royal Guard community... :D

I wouldn't be surprised if hairdryer was the inspiration :lol: inspiration comes from the strangest of places sometimes. I mean a street lamp was inspiration for the Slave 1.

Oh, I gotta dispell this myth every time it pops up. Nilo designed Slave I roughly inspired by a radar dish, with curves that made him think "Porsche" for the upper parts. The drawing George approved was showing an oblique angle where the base looked more elliptical than round, so that's how he built the model.

A while later, Joe Johnston -- who did not design that ship -- was asked about the inspiration for the ship's design, and he theorized it was the streetlights near ILM, which did look vaguely similar, but that was his guess, not actual informed fact. And that got propagated as inaccurate Star Wars lore for decades, along with the rotating cockpit that never actually existed in the design -- concept or execution.

That's fascinating! Where did you learn that from?
 
Woah....

Atom is showing ALL “Star Wars” movies in a 27 hour marathon on December 18th.

I don’t have the stamina for that.

Took me a second. Lots of reference works to slog through, and lots of instances of the erroneous story out there. *heh* Annotated Screenplays, page 212:
Joe Johnston showed me some of the ideas he had for Boba Fett, and I remember asking myself what his spaceship would look like. I remember seeing a radar dish and stopping to sketch it very quickly to see if I could get something out of it. The original design I had was round, but when you looked at it from the side, it became elliptical. For some reason, when I drew it, George thought it was elliptical, so that's what it became. When we were building the ship at ILM, somebody looked at street lamps and pointed out that they looked like Boba's ship. So everyone began to think that was where I got the idea for the design.

When Hyperbolic Trailer Reaction Video Guy hears about this, he is going to spontaneously combust from an overload of pure joy.

I don’t think he can take it...

One can always hope...

I always thought BTW that Slave 1 looked like a clothes iron.
 
So Ewan came out and said that the Obi-Wan show had been decided on 4 years ago! So he's been having to lie about coming back as Obi-Wan all this time!
