Rookies? Where does that come from, man?

I knew of that scene but it doesn't really adjusts to what I said. Where's the mention to Anakin the Jedi, not the pilot? Where's the astonishment of what I've talked in my post? Anakin, as it is shown in the Prequels (here's the thing) is rather a legend, someone you would say "Do you REALLY have something to do with Skywalker?"; not that mere alussion. And I always thought of this in ESB, where the Luke's father question is almost filling the air of the film.

I'm just playin' with ya, man.

Is Anakin really a legend in the prequels? Or just a rising star among the small ranks of the Jedi and some people in the galactic senate? It is the EU that makes Anakin a much larger figure than what was actually portrayed in the film.

As far as the air in Empire, it is really only there if you choose to look at it that way. Vader and the Emperor do talk about the Son of Skywalker, but that is just a hint that will be made good later in the film. If you are looking at it with the family already in mind (or having previously watched the third episode) your view has already been determined.
