I'm with most of you though. I got so tired of hearing him say "The story was always written and this is always the way it was suppose to be". Bullshit. If that's true, he would've cast someone young for the Anakin reveal and they would've had Greedo shoot first when they were originally filming the scene. As it is, they had 3 different people playing Darth Vader. There's no reason they couldn't have added a fourth.
I recently posted in another thread that in 1977 Darth Vader appeared in the credits as 'Lord Darth Vader' but in the 2004 DVD credits it's been changed to just 'Darth Vader'. This, along with the fact that Ben refers to him as 'Darth' makes me think that originally Darth was actually the name of Luke's Father's Murderer, NOT a title (his title was Lord, his name was Darth Vader). Darth Vader's character was then altered to be Luke's Father rather than the killer of Luke's Father and then when the idea of 'Darth' being a title was used in the prequels, the credits of the original movie were altered to accomodate this change. But Lucas had the whole story planned all along because he's a genius, so I must be wrong...I'm with most of you though.
