And so, while the movie did hint on the conflict between modern technology and the "trickery" of the Force, the ''Star Wars'' radio adaptation makes it much more prominent.

--> '''Tion:''' It's ''progress''.

* JackBauerInvestigationTechnique / MindProbe: The original ''Star Wars'' merely hints at Leia being tortured, with a shot of Vader entering her cell along with a scary-looking probe. In the radio drama, Vader injects her with a drug to make her more suggestible. When roofies aren't enough to convince Leia that Vader is a member of the Rebel Alliance who needs the stolen plans, Vader uses the Force to inflict psychic pain on Leia, and he again demands to know where the plans are.
