Once again, I say that the final battle between Luke and old Orange-Eye was just TOO physical. I could have bought it if he just STOOD and threw sparks, but having him chase Luke around like he was trying to punish a bad puppy was not really believable. I would have thought the battle odd if it had not been done that way. The dark side of the force feeds on hate, agression, and fear. Did you see the big E's eyes when he was blasting Luke? The big E was MAD and had really worked himself into a keen lather. I would suspect that in order to perform really powerful Force-assisted activites, those relying on the dark side would have to do just that. This would be in contrast to those who rely on the light side, such as Yoda, who use inner tranquility to get the force to do what they want the force to do. Yoda works up a bit of a sweat in TESB when he raises Luke's fighter, but he certainly didn't act like he was excited. /mtr
