I just assumed those little craft at the beginning were simply scouts sent to look for them so they could then send-in a transport of some kind. The snowspeeders would be faster and as combat-craft probably have better sensors besides.

Also, other notes! Something to remember about the Star Wars franchise is that it's all Science Fantasy. Not Fiction - Fantasy. It's.. blending the spirit of D&D with science. We never get an episode that just laser-focuses on how hyperdrives work, we never get a moment of the characters finding themselves chatting about how the Force works at a scientific level; it's all treated as.. "It simply is." Majority of people never ask how a kettle works, we all just accept that when you turn it on, it will make the water inside of it boil. It's a part of everyday life, and so it is for the characters in Star Wars. The weird and fantastical things aren't treated as worthy of being spoken about, because it doesn't matter to anybody until the thing isn't working. 1. Much as Yoda and Obi-Wan described it; the Force binds all things together. It's part of the fabric of the universe. It absolutely *can* be used remotely - not through the RF-signal or the viewscreen or the like, but, as Vader is a skilled practitioner of the Force, he can use it from a long distance away. Maybe not the entire galaxy away, but certainly to affect someone else aboard the same ship. - Related: Communicating with the Emperor from that far away would be incredibly difficult. Obi-wan is dead; he has returned to the Force, as all things do when they die. Think of it like the Buddhist belief of reincarnation. Obi-Wan learned to delay his turning around the Wheel of Samara so that he could linger as himself in the Force and help guide Luke. He isn't haunting a place like a ghost, he's exerting his ability to influence the energy of the Force so he can stay around slightly past his physical expiration. 2. Avoiding spoilers as much as I can, and explaining just what's on screen; the Emperor knowing anything about the Force is a SECRET. He (And Vader) have been on a crusade and have gone out of their way to squelch any and all knowledge of the Jedi, of the Force, and of anything related to it. It is one of the core principles of their Empire. They have done their very best to keep all of the control and learning of the Force restricted to themselves and those they allow. Regular, normal, everyday people (Including ranking officers - they're just normal people doing a job!) *DON'T* believe in the Force, and no longer think it exists. Think about it. Apparently, back in the 1300's, there were 'wizards' that could conjure fireballs, lightning bolts, illusions, and demons, yet you've never seen any of that happening, nor any proof. It's just fairy tale myth and legend, and nothing has ever come along to contradict that. Even it COULD be possible, are you going to believe it without ever seeing it? Add on the propaganda campaign.. and yeah, that should explain why everybody has a slightly skewed-from-one-another-view of the Force. Luke, Vader, Yoda, and the Emperor, are the only four people that we know about that have any idea of the truth of the Force. To everybody else, it's hocus pocus party tricks that have been peddled by snake oil salesmen to oblivion and back. 3. Astral projection? Yes. Absolutely. Darth Vader couldn't find Luke because he never knew to *look* for Luke. As far as he was aware, Luke never existed. Can't look for something if you don't know it exists! 4. The Empire is an overarching dictatorship government that uses force to bring everything and everyone around them to heel as they demand. Won't say more, since we'd be spoiling the Prequels! 5. Being physical isn't necessarily part of being a Jedi, but it's more the physical exertion and meditation that it brings on. Something for Luke to put his mind toward and stay focused on and 'in the zone', rather than letting him think about other things. The point that Yoda is trying to teach Luke for his entire time with the adorable puppet is to, "Calm down, relax, focus on the here and now, let the future sort itself out based on what you do now. Don't *want* for something and try to make it happen, just let it come to you by making the right moves." QED, with the cave. Yoda told Luke that he wouldn't need his lightsaber, and that he should just trust in himself and that he would be able to have the answer when he needed it. More or less that the only thing to fear is fear itself. The entire movie, Luke is being tested over and over and over, and every time he has to come up with an answer, he fails, because he is *not* humble, he is *not* focused on the here-and-now, he does *not* recognise that he is only a small cog in an infinitely large machine. The 'quitter' mentality isn't all that uncommon, especially with people that are learning something they *THOUGHT* they knew relatively well until they're presented with the reality that they actually know nothing about it. Until now, Luke has never had to think of himself as anything other than the physical, and he has always looked ahead to try and force things into the direction he wants them to be. He learned *A TRICK* from Obi-Wan and that made him prideful. This movie is about bashing that mentality out of him, and stripping him down to just what Yoda says; unlearn what he has learned about himself, and come to accept the reality of the universe and what he is in it, without striving to do more or do less than that. There is a negative aspect to the Jedi training, which is the teaching that ambition is inherently bad or toxic, but that is a discussion for a whole other wall of text! 6. Majority of the Imperial Stormtroopers.. are conscripts. Yep. "They just pick someone and say you're now gonna' do this." Accurate description! There are a few that join willingly, but majority are conscripts or else VERY down on their luck and in desperate situations that they are willing to do anything to get by, but don't have the street know-how to resort to crime. 7. Vader doesn't know Yoda taught Luke anything. As far as he knows, Obi-Wan is dead, but communing with Luke through the Force and teaching him thus. 8. It's, "Lay-ah", which everybody manages to remember as their line in the later iterations of the franchise, but some (Especially in these sets of movies where it matters most) still say, "Lee-ah". I think it's more or less resolved by the Return of the Jedi, though. Lay-ah.

I forget who's in the Vader suit, other than that they're 7 feet tall, but his lines are dubbed-in by James Earl Jones (Remember Thulsa Doom from Conan the Barbarian?). Also, that intimidating breathing sound? It's a respirator, that suit is a life-support mech he needs because Vader got himself jacked-UP in the past by Obi Wan. Also, the main factions in the Original Trilogy are, by their full names, the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. That should be enough to figure out the general gist of what's going on, more specific details of that and more will be revealed in time.

David Prowst played Vader, and is deceased now. Peter Mayhew played Chewbacca. And, yes, both were tall. Peter Mayhew was really that tall. David Prowst was tall but had lifters in his boots to make him taller. James Earl Jones was the voice dub for Vader.

Luke did not give up and fling himself into an abyss. He used the force to "see" where he could throw himself and let himself drop, aiming for that specific vent. He did not know that it would open up and throw him onto the antenna, but the force helped him to choose the right vent at the right time to fall onto an antenna instead of into space.

You were speaking over a crucial piece of foreshadowing, no spoilers, but revisit the scene when Luke left, and Yoda and Obi-Wan were talking

EPS #1, 2 and 3 are "prequels". they come later.

Can't wait but I'm way more excited for the prequels. Way more politics and intrigue and strange relationships in those.

Vader could have sensed luke if he was searching for him, but he and the emperor thought all jedi were dead. also the only limit to the forces power is your own mental block, a jedi who has a strong connection to the force should be able to use the force to pull a star ship out of orbit with the same ease as lifting a pebble off the ground but the mind gets in the way, jedi dedicate their lives to trying to link with the force and reach a point of true unconscious understanding of the world. someone who uses the dark side can lift objects because they understand the power of the force, someone who can use the light side can lift objects because they understand the illusions of weight and distance and know how all things are connected in the force.

One thing to keep in mind regarding the Force and general long range detection or communication is that it doesn't function like a homing beacon or a direct link all of the time. Think of it more like standing in a crowded room with a hundred people, or a thousand people. Then try to imagine picking out one voice among them all - one 'aura' or 'presence' among them all. You might not be able to sense them, to hear them, until you're closer, or more familiar with the voice. It takes discipline, power, and control to have that level of precision. A person with growing power like Luke is making waves in the Force that Vader and the Emperor are picking up, even if they can't home in on his position quite yet. Distance and familiarity definitely plays a part, but the rules are never quite clearly defined. It's left vague and ambiguous to maintain an aura of mysticism.
