You know, to go back a few posts and make another note about God and Satan, it occurs to me that God was portrayed on the movie screen by George Burns in "Oh God", while Satan was portrayed by Al Pacino in "Devil's Advocate".
I like the fact that God and Satan are both portrayed as dorks on the Simpsons. They are both Ned Flanders somehow. LOL

General Veers is cool- I definitely think raining death down on those puny Rebel scum from his AT-AT platoon rates as power on a personal level. And best British accent in the entire OT. PERIOD. (Event though I'm aussie and we mostly use 'Full Stop').

Well, I agree with Bean when he said "When you have cool badguys and crap heroes, the writer suck" (badly paraphrased, my bad)

Then again cool villains make the heroes' action worth a damn (Taking down Stormtrooper X is nothing, taking down Vader IS something)
