>You know what, Fett? How about I don't give you Solo and just kill him, and if you don't like it, I can kill you too, or have my hundred soldiers shoot you. >Speaking of which, execute Luke and Chewbacca before they causes trouble, capture Leia and the droids and interrogate her and datamine them for all the Rebellion's vital information, and offer Lando the money we were going to give this bounty hunter in exchange for his allegiance to the Empire as to deny the Rebellion the advantage of a strong industrial underworld ally.
Boba fett was good at what he did and is how they found them in the first place. They used multiple bounty hunters as could be seen in the shot with the lizard dude and ig88. Why would they fuck over contracts? Might be the dumbest thing to try and critique.
Jace Young
that would be the smartest thing to do, ngl
Colton Watson
Vader didn't care about any of that. He wanted Luke.
Jose Martinez
Vader is a man of honor, he wouldn't double cross Fett like that.
William Diaz
Canonically, Boba could easily kill the stormtroopers on Bespin and could probably either kill or wound Vader enough to escape so that is retarded. Also why would Vader do that to someone who has done his job as requested and is a valuable ally?
Parker Clark
>man of honor >murders children
Caleb Lewis
I don't know if this is necessarily true for Vader, but it is often the case that the honorable thing is often not the smartest.
Noah Russell
>Fuck over Boba Fett >The best bounty hunter in the galaxy will never work for the Empire again >Will exclusively take contracts that undermine the empire

>execute Luke
really
Nathan Thompson
The Empire often hired bounty hunters to track down and eliminate or capture valuable targets. They had contacts and access to areas the Empires' troopers wouldn't be able to reach conspicuously. Screwing over a bounty hunter (one of the most famous no less) would burn that valuable bridge for cleaning up the Empires messes and quelling rebellions. Bounty Hunters were very useful, the smart thing is to keep them on side, and not double cross them because it allows you to save a few thousand credits or so (Darth Vader has his own castle, super star destroyer, legions of troops etc. The cost of this bounty was nothing to his budgets.)
Nathan Martinez
It was like 20 children with baby light sabers.. fair fight desu.
Henry Rodriguez
Go work in a daycare and see if you don't start to sympathize with Anakin.
Ian Perry
Lando was a collaborating asset, while sort of unwilling, he was doing as the empire asked, so double crossing him would just have hurt the Empires reputation. Luke was personally wanted by the Emperor to train as Darth Vaders replacement, and Darth Vader wanted his son to join him and overthrow the Emperor, so he wasn't going to kill him - Freezing him in carbonite WAS the best thing to do to neutralize him. Han was no longer a threat when he had been frozen, and Leia and Chewbacca would probably have been interrogated and executed post haste once Luke was frozen. Lando's double crossing of Vader was what foiled that, and it happened because Vader was being too harsh on him and not respecting their original deal. As soon as he turned Vader would have wanted to kill him, but never got the opportunity.
Ryder Torres
That shot of Vader at the end of the table and then shooting in that room was always striking to me, different than any other shot in star wars
Ethan Rodriguez
>kill Solo and Chewie for no reason >double-cross Fett and threaten to kill him for no reason >kill Luke, the son he has been pursuing for years, for no reason >interrogate Leia after she has already been proven to be resistant to torture techniques >"datamine" a homosexual butler and glorified GPS in the hope that they happen to be carrying literally all of the Rebellion's vital information >try to buy off Lando after killing his best friends when he was already hesitant to betray them and only went along because it meant the Empire would leave them alone You now see how shitty reddit "logic" is.
David Murphy
Why would Vader kill Fett after he had just shown what a great bounty hunter he was?
Hudson Thomas
The entire point of capturing them had zero to do with The Empire or Rebellion. Their suffering was to draw Luke out so Vader could turn him into his apperentice. With another Skywalker at his side, Vader would literally be unstoppable regardless of the state of the Rebellion.
Vader wanted to lure Luke there. That was it. Luke in carbonite or turned. The rest of it doesn't matter and all others were just extras.
Samuel Morales
vader wanted luke alive. he used solo to test the freezer to see if that would make handling a jedi prisoner easier. it worked. now you have a block of ice so who gives a shit what happens to it. lando, princess and chewie should have been executed though. maybe nuke the entire cloud city out of the sky for good measure as soon as youre done extracting luke out.
Bentley Jones
It was self-defence. When that many children get together they can be like piranha.
Matthew Gonzalez
underrated
Ryder Wood
It's a fairytale not meant to be realistic at all.
David Cooper
Has nothing to do with realism. OP, doesn't even address the context of the entire second act of the film.
Wow, everything is about this is so shitty, you could write for the new Star Wars episodes! You missed the point of literally every aspect of the original movie so hard, you deserve your own trilogy!
Watch out, Rian! Someone else might not get a trilogy too!
Aiden Ramirez
Vader only wanted Luke, retard. The whole thing was a trap for Luke because he wanted to meet with him and overthrow the Emperor with him. Did you not fucking pay attention?
Colton Flores
Absolute chads
Julian Powell
>. lando, princess and chewie should have been executed though.
Lando was still on his side at the time, and he needed Leia and Chewie to lure Luke to Bespin in case he didn't give in the first time with the Han torture. He needed a test on the freezer as soon as possible and if he kills Leia and Chewie he has no one else to send force visions to Luke to convince him to go into the damn thing after its confirmed working.
>maybe nuke the entire cloud city out of the sky for good measure as soon as youre done extracting luke out. Its possible he planned on doing that, but more likely he would have just been happy with Lando serving the Empire like he was before. He hated the Death Star for a reason.
Isaac Morgan
You're stupid. Go away, stupid person.
Kevin Watson
based Malak would do that like he did with Taris, Vader was a softy
Grayson Campbell
This plus the Empire gets a reputation for breaking contracts which harms their capacity to do business in general.
Joseph Howard
Remember that when Empire Strikes Back was made the original plan was for Star Wars to have several movies after. It was condensed to a trilogy because Empire was a stressful film to make especially for Lucas who had to put in his own money because it went beyond its original budget. Star Wars went dark for a whole decade because George was tired of Star Wars and wanted to make other stuff like Indiana Jones. Return of the Jedi was a rushjob to wrap the story up.
In Empire the rebel alliance is pretty much a joke compared to how powerful Vader and the Empire was. The Empire was not supposed to have its ass kicked by Vietcong Ewoks. They were especially not supposed to be defeated within just one movie.
Still on Anger,huh? AAAH the seven stages of nu-fans...Like a fine wine of butthurt.
Jaxson Phillips
only some guys got ewoked, the fleet and vader did the eeal damage
Thomas Ortiz
It still made the Empire feel crappier than what was originally portrayed. Hell the script for Return of the Jedi was to have the Empire army lose to Wookies. George changed that when he realized how expensive that would have been.
