jedi_forever, Palpatine didn't tell Anakin he killed his kid, just padme. That's why she still looks pregnant at her funeral. They explain it better in the Ep.III novel. In all honesty, though. You shouldn't be so broken up about the way the saga turned out. Lucas had a purpose back then(OT). Now, he's old and bored. What did you expect? At least there are still awesome books and comics that do the SW universe justice. Let Lucas rape his creations with every lame-ass excuse he can come up with. We always have the laser discs.
