Humans have 10 thumbs though…

Thank you.

It’s always so refreshing to see someone do the thing you were expecting would happen!

I’m wondering how to get “shiny teeth and me” into a comment somewhere…

Stay at home, wear a mask. Good advice, now that COVID is back on the rise!

Reading these comments after watching Guardians of the Galaxy 3 just hits different. Unless Elon himself is removed from his position, crimes like these simply won’t stop.

This… Isn’t the answer.

More to the point, every answer to this question is talking about something completely different. Vader was distracted. Vader was only clued into Leia’s existence after Luke thought about her. Vader had too much on his plate…!

But this answer, even among all the above, is reaching at things that just make no sense. By your logic, every force user would be crippled at the battle of Geonosis, with hundreds of jedi and sith present.

Qui-Gon and a young Obi-Wan took on Darth Maul, where the latter was able to use his ability without seemingly any hindrance at all. Similarly with Obi-Wan and Anakin against Count Dooku. When Yoda steps in, it’s 3 jedi against Dooku. There’s no evidence of Dooku bring weakened, as he matches Yoda in force abilities without much effort. By your logic, the sith in both encounters should have been weakened. That is clearly not the case.

The simple and obvious truth is this: at the time of writing, Lucas never intended for Leia to be Luke’s sister (hence their kiss) and so, there simply wasn’t anything for Darth Vader to sense. Retconning that and then adding in some wishy-washy explanation just trashes the credibility of the franchise.
