It was my understanding that after agreeing who gets which twin and where everyone will go, that Yoda took one of the escape pods from the Tantive IV to Dagobah for permanent exile, yet we see a different one in style/type in the film. The starwars.com website mentions that there was some other freighter Yoda transferred to and took one of their escae pods to Dagobah (kinda odd as such things are recorded, like in ANH where one of the Death Star dudes comments that a number of the escape pods on the Millennium Falcon have been jettisoned, so if the other ship pulls into port missing one, its not too tough to establish were it was going and where a pod may have jettisoned to other parts, pretty easy to start a search if you're up to it). Anyhow, based on what appears onscreen, the viewer can be forgiven in thinking that the pod came from the Tantive IV and yet it looks different from the one C-3PO and R2 use to get off the Tantive IV to Tattooine, which strikes me as odd since the Tantive Iv isn't a state of the art ship even during the time of ROTS let alone ANH. I think a neat visual reference was lost if they appeared to be the same series pod. The big one Yoda has in ROTS gives the impression he could pull out of Dagobah if he wanted to.

ARe you talking about the deleted scene or the one he gets in on kashyyk? because we never really get a close look at the escape pod in a new hope. This is just pointless nagging here.

No, the one in the deleted scene where he emerges out of after landing on Dagobah.

And another thing, this is a FORUM, if you don't like the topic, you don't have to open it or respond. Not everyone chooses to post something critical of the forum's originator only to be shown that they were trying to make a flippant point about a point of a film when they really didn't look into the matter closely enough.
