Leia interrogated by Vader

This scene in the film always brings a smile - oddly enough.

George Lucas said he wanted things in the film to look 'familiar' - even though it was an other-worldly sci-fi fantasy movie. People could relate to it - starnage as it all was: it'd connect. Thing is though, that interrogation droid - or whatever it is - is very impressive, scary and futuristic; but it has this laughably familiar plastic syringe attached to it! Same as the ones we have in our own Galaxy. And is that all it does? All that anti-gravity, robotics, weird humming and it just runs into you with a needle? Could it be that Vader's too squeamish to do it himself?

"No sod off" says the trooper, "I'm, not doing it either. I'll shoot someone, anyone - from over there mind - but there's NO WAY I'm sticking a needle in someone's arm. Or anywhere else for that matter. Euw!"

The artwork here was partially ripped off from Howard Chaykin's Marvel comic adaptation - (see Leia, bottom panel), but the reflective surface of Vaders' helmet is quite well observed.

A green highlighter marker has been used here. Dad brought some home from work and I was just amazed by their effect. The black is done with a thick permanent marker.
