it was announced he was out, but not that he was doing his own films. I can't imagine they will be any good. glad to see him removed from the Star Wars franchise.

Yeah, the Rick McCallum thing was mentioned in one of the other threads.

It's about time that Lucasfilm put out a statement. It's been six weeks, and the only news that anyone has had of this is when the hosts of the Force-Cast asked Steven Sansweet about it on their Oct. 30 show (the week of the big announcement). As great as the Force-Cast is, anybody who worked at the top of Lucasfilm for 20 years deserved better than that.

And as I said in the other thread, I don't blame McCallum for the movies being bad. His job wasn't to make a film that I would like; his job was to help his boss make the films he wanted to make. But hopefully, because they've known each other for a longer period of time, Kathleen Kennedy will be able to say no to George more easily.

I think we've sunk to a new low.

The Star Wars Transformers are an abomination to both franchises. An awful attempt to cash grab on both properties, which from what I can tell not even most stupid kids like.

I wouldn't go so far as to call TF Star Wars figures an abomination. Both are sci-fi franchises that I like. I just think that some new characters should have been created that cross both universes. Battle droids who could transform into fighting vehicles would make sense, for instance.

But attempting to shoehorn Star Wars characters into the vehicles and places they use are just baffling. So Darth Vader is the Death Star? How did he get to be the size of an entire moon? Obi-Wan Kenobi is his own ship? Wouldn't it break all of his bones to transform?

I find it more annoying when Star Wars is slapped onto something with which it has nothing in common. Darth Tater, pictured above, and the SW Angry Birds are both examples of "what the heck?" to me.

Ever wanted to know what Yoda looked like in his young, pot-smoking student days?

No?

I don't blame you.

But here it is anyway:

I don't get why they redubbed the non-Vader parts.

Easier to redub the whole thing than to switch back and forth between new audio and original audio.

Plus voice cameos for friends. But yeah, it's a tad annoying.

Question.

Ignoring the prequel trilogy. In Ep 4, Luke is told that Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are two separate people. In Ep 5, we are told that (and depending on which version you watch), Luke is possibly or is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker. Then Darth Vader tells Luke, he is his father.

At what stage, does Luke know, that Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader? He asks Yoda if Darth Vader is his father, to which Yoda confirms - but then he has the 'point of view' conversation with Ben, asking why Ben didn't tell him etc, but it appears to be common knowledge.

I ask this, as I'm watching Machete order and now I'm on the third film(Ep 2) and it appears that Darth Vader and Anakin are still two separate people.

Something else to ponder - how do Yoda and Obi Wan know Vader is Anakin? As far as they're aware, Obi Wan killed Vader on the lava planet.....

I think once Vader says that he's his father Luke pretty much excepts it as fact. He probably believes Obi lied to him, and that's why he questions him to get confirmation. He never particularly questions it, as he calls him Father when he's on the Falcon at the end of ESB. Even though they were in hiding, I'm sure that Obi and Yoda were in contact with the rest of the universe in some form and found out what was happening. Plus, they probably were able to tell through the force that Anakin was in fact Vader.
