...is cool.

That is all.

[Despondent]

Well sure. All those guys at that meeting had an element of mystique about them, didn't they? Singling out one or two from that brief scene isn't hard.
Feel the same warmth from the galactic zoo which was the Jedi council?

Also, Admiral Motti was pretty smart---doesn't he show up in ESB? I may be wrong on that, but he may have seen that the Death Star was doomed and convenient left before it went 'kablooey.'

The Force was with him.

[Despondent]

Maybe. But you know, nothing says "kablooey" like the addition of a cgi hula hoop.

[CowboyCurtis]

Hahaha!!

And you're Obi-Wan quote in your sig is so apt nowadays.

There's a dude who has a white-ish uniform in contrast to the usual Imperial Grey. Maybe there's some sort of significance there, like he's in charge of the water opera for the Empire.

Also, Vader doesn't even warrant a seat at the table during the meeting. No wonder he wasn't too hot about the Death Star and its ultimate power in the universe status.

My god Tarkin is the shit! He kicks ass i wish he hadnt died, but he did and he went out in a super awsome classic pose.

He got Vader to sit at the kiddie table on board the Death Star, that makes him the bigger bad ass.

that's how old star wars worked...

character coolness was based on how much they stood up to or resisted Vader...

Bobba Fett: talked back, reminding him that he gots ta get paid.
(engsign-->)Admiral Piet: more by negative spacing. alot of people died around him. It was not a good time to be serving under Vader and this dude jumped several commisions in a very short time. I mean this dude went from cleaning dishes in the mess hall to commanding the fleet in one film.
Grand Moff (Govenor) Tarkin: "this bickering is pointless", "are you sure?", for a kid who challenged the jedi counsel and killed it's leader, and fought his own master twice, Vader certainly hung off every word this non-forcer had to say.
Han Solo: door opens, vader's standing there quite calmly, boba-fett is right there too (a man Han had been hoping to avoid for some time, and would have known jabba was seriously miffed if this dude had been sent after him) and han says 'what the hell' and takes a couple pot shots at Vader while he's there...
Luke Sky Walker: hadn't even finished his training... finds vader, opens his sabre... 'bring it'
Lando Calrision: yelled alot at vader (but ultimatley yeilded to each demand... but hey... it's not his fault)
Princess Liea: she had a mouth on her... but gave away nothing.
Obiwan Kenobi: 'only a master of evil' ...not that he was offended by it, but a quip's a quip and vader got served!
Motti: a great speech, the kind i would give, he got choked for it, and infront of a lot of people... but the important thing is that he said it.
