I've noticed something strange that's been bugging me for a long time. Now that I have a Star Wars blog I can ask the question out loud....sort of.

Anyways, I've noticed that in A New Hope, right after Darth Vader strikes Ben Kenobi down, he does something strange: After stepping on Kenobi's cloak he walks away. Meanwhile, Luke yells, "No!" and starts shooting at Stormtroopers. When they return fire, Leia pleads for Luke to come to the ship. She says, "Luke C'mon!" Han yells, "Blast the door, kid!" Then Vader suddenly turns around and starts walking towards the door that is now closing. He walks so close to the door that he probably walked right into it even after it closed.

So, the question is what would cause Vader to suddenly turn around? Did Leia yelling Luke's name grab Vader's attention? Or perhaps having Luke and Leia together caused some sort of ripple in the Force. I think my first guess is most likely, but if I think about it long enough I can come up with a plethora of reasons.

Has anybody else ever noticed this before?

As Always.
