Also, I'd really like to do Chewbacca as a mute human, played by Giovanni Ribisi. I think him and Denzel could pull off an awesome Han/Chewie. It'd be different fo sho, but I think it would be cool, and they'd still maintain the original feel.

Pardon me on the Darth Maul vs Darth Vader Eference, I didnt know it was an ifnitnite, I read in a big SW tales vol.3 book.

Still I can call on other comic examples, his battles with the Dark Woman, an assasin that got on board the Executor some time after hoth, And his battle with Boba Fett on Tatooine.

And of course, I point to his handling of Combat Droids in Shadows of the Empire as evidence of his combat skills.

Who's Dark Woman?

Also, remember, when he's fighting battle droids, they aren'r exerting any TK to hold him down, the way force users do when they fight one another.

Perhaps, the weight of his suit, with the addition of being held down, is enough to prevent him from really being agile.

The Dark Woman, A powerful master who trained Aurra Sing intially.

Id just like to point out that earlier you said that Vaders armor prevented him from moving with more agility and now you are saying thats its the Armor and opponent's TK.

And did he beat her? What kind of feats did he perform in this battle?

Your point being? Obviously, something is holding him down. If it's not the armour alone, than it must be the armour, as well as his opponent's TK.

I was unaware that the Dark Woman survived the purge. Good to hear. Hmmm, just how old would she be? She already looked to be in her late fifties (at least) during the "Hunt for Aura Sing" comic series - purely from wrinkles (my own bias and opinion :) )... And with at least three decades between that series and ESB... Not bad for an eighty year old woman.

I can only assume she was killed by Vader, or did the writers keep her alive for later use?

Are you sure? I have it in a collection of Star Wars: Tales and it doesn't say anything about being an infininte. :?

to put this infinitives tales to rest its just that. Most of the Tales series is a Tale or Tales myths if you will, only about a handfull dosent have some character remembering a story or talking to another character about an event. It is very possible if the story is not an infinitie so to speak it could have been exagerated or dreamt about
