Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* The page image is from a scene in Videogame/XWing that comes up if your character's starfighter is destroyed in a Tour Of Duty WITHOUT the character in it being captured or killed; basically, a scene that shows your character being taken in by the rebels and taken to the medical frigate for treatment. [[UncannyValley The medical droid, with its lifeless black eyes]] (presented in a background with UnnaturallyBlueLighting, for that matter) is from a scene that, though disturbing, [[MindScrew is actually supposed to imply the relatively more reassuring outcome]]. Conversely, a character who is captured is [[spoiler:shown being taken to the Executor and being interrogated by Vader much like he interrogated Leia in ''Film/ANewHope'', except with red-orange lighting instead of blue lighting,]] and a character who is killed [[spoiler:is implied to be in a coffin that is... simply dropped through a hole in some spacecraft near a planet, while other mourning soldiers watch; and then the coffin hits the planet and burns up in the atmosphere.]] Both are semi-disturbing in their own ways, but can't hold a candle to the medical-treatment scene.

* The scene in which Darth Vader executes Overlord Ghorin after he is set up by the Rebels to look like he sent poisoned grain to the Empire. The look of fear on the man's face as the Dark Lord closes in for the kill is what really seals the moment, and once the deed is done he is left slumped over in his throne. Even worse, he never knew about the Rebel plot to frame him. [[AssholeVictim Though considering what he tried to do to the Rebels]], [[LaserGuidedKarma he totally had it coming]].

** The robot is a 2-1B medical droid, so fans familiar with Star Wars lore can relax a little...but it could still be a little less creepy. 2-1Bs ''don't have black eyes''; their eyes are light golden bulb-like things.
