obvious in the use of the wampa and space slug The best speech is the one an Imperial Admiral gives while watching Vader with his mask off This scene of the mask off was very brief in the movie, but

liked the first book or should I say the 4th Heh , but this one I liked evenPerhaps because the movie itself was my favourite one in the original trilogy Certainly also because the asides, this time,
