    Engine light on isn’t always scary, just means something has disturbed the normal course of things and might need some looking into. A flashing engine light however, that can be worse that even the low oil pressure (which is bad).

    Battery just means your alternator is screwed up somehow. I’ve driven mine like a EV before with a charger along for the ride to charge back up. Not great on the battery long term, but for short trips it’s doable.

    Temp - well, that could be anything depending on if it’s an idiot light or a gauge. See the needle on a gauge go up quickly, same rule as the flashing engine light. Pull over and shut down.

    Stormtroopers only miss when they’re ordered to miss. Han was an idiot at that point of the movie, should have guessed like Leia that they got away a bit too easily, and if the Falcon is so fast he should have led the Death Star through hundreds of jumps before he popped back to the rebel base. He should have been doing things like the Han of ESB that made star destroyer generals look like privates.

    It wasn’t that disfigured. When I first saw it when it came out I recognized him, whereas the people that usually watch it in release order now see some young guy they haven’t yet seen, like Luke would. And why is he young but Yoda and Obi-Wan not? Appearance at the end of life as a Jedi doesn’t work, as supposedly he’s been “saved” by Luke.

    Now I can easily explain why Luke understand who he is using the Force, they sense who each other is. Same reason why he can see them at all. But it’s one of Lucas’ bad ideas for edits.

    You know what edit is the absolute worst that I cringe when I see it? No, it’s not Rick Berman McCallum’ (“so much more detail, so dense”) add ons because CGI is so hot. It’s the one originally deleted scene (I think, pretty sure it wasn’t there) of Han and Jabba. I liked the scene, but the manner of edit and CGI work is so bad with Han stepping on his tail it stands out, and then Han’s ending line of “you’re a wonderful human being” leaves new viewers confused.
