And there was this gem…

Wow , just read that article and while it got a lot wrong , it did predict the episode 1 plot of Darth Vader starting out as a slave boy , and the pain inducing collar is not too unlike the chip that blows you up if you try to escape . Interesting that they knew the name Anakin Skywalker at this time . Where did that name first appear ?
I totally missed that! Maybe Lucas leaked it somewhere. The first I heard of it was ROTJ.
I’ve always liked the idea of Fett as ‘the other’. The implication that Fett had infiltrated the Empire by way of doing dirty work for Vader - and was secretly sparing his victims (“no disintegrations”) to raise an army - makes a lot of sense I think.
