Oh god, I know he is. It's going to ooze out in the first episode. But Star Wars always had that stuff. I just hope they do it simply and move on. Star Wars has also always been about quickly moving on.

Anyone hoping HT gives us an Indy 2.0 now they're closer to Ford?

I would count Tarkin -- he was the other key villain in STAR WARS -- and back in the day his presence added to the movie and he, along with Alec, gave a certain credibility to an otherwise difficult to explain picture.

I say, let them keep trying with Han Solo until they get it right. There are multiple versions of Solo they can do to practice, and most hardcore SW will buy them, but there's only ONE Indy, with ONE costume, so IF they make another one, they should get it right. So let them practice on Solo for a while.

Looks like they still have a long way to go. I hope they hold until they get it right. Then go crazy with Star Wars, Indy and Blade Runner.

It's funny, because he (Tarkin) was in charge, not Vader. Tarkin was second in command after the Emperor, am I right? Yet, Vader got all the attention

If you watch, Vader starts out as just a dog-o-war henchman for, seemingly, Tarkin... but as the movie progresses you begin to realize that Vader is actually the smart one. The "this had better work" scene shows this. Vader has the tricky plan -- the switch, to let the heroes think they got away. Even Tarkin looks concerned about how he'll be perceived if Vader's plan actually works.
Vader: smart AND powerful. That's why we all love him.
That's also why I like ANH Vader best. Before he got muddled by his family ties.

Still, Vader had to go to the Emperor and explain that the hell happened to their 20 year project.

Vader's got all those Force powers, yet we saw him defer to Tarkin during the choke scene. He's a company man, but he's got his eyes on the top prize. And in the end, Tarkin's essentially a Nazi stooge. An officious stooge, but a stooge nonetheless.
And every time I hear "dog of war," I'm reminded of this:

He's "holding" Vader's leash. Vader wants to kill-kill-kill! Like a rabid dog. It's Tarkin that holds him back from being total death. See, Tarkin's a nice old man after all.

Well, she is into gold bikinis and chains. George Lucas, the sexual deviant!

You should be reminded of that every day. Make it so. You puppy.

Vader was like an SS officer in the first film. He was basically Tarkin's *****.
He had to go out there and fly with grunts to defend the Death Star. Vader wasn't hardcore until Empire.

Vader's like an office manager in ANH. Underneath his shiny, black armor, he's wearing an ill-fitting, short-sleeved shirt and a clip-on tie. Wait a sec, I think I ripped off Mel Brooks.

What!?
He wanted to go out a fly with the grunts. He even had his own special TIE. He was smart again -- get off that damn thing before it blows.
In Empire he got shined up, lazy -- eating in his chamber, choking officers for silly offenses -- only when he got active and personal in Cloud City did he get cool again. Even though he had a sit-down dinner with Han and the gang.
Ever wonder what they talked about?
