Hey Chainsaw! Nice to see you back in an NPT thread.

I missed your imput when I was trying to put my ideas in order.

I, of course, like the idea of no Yoda on screen and the end of "Anakin" by the end of Ep II.

I'm not sure I understand your use of Vader tho.

Why does Anakin take Vader's place?

Is he just ALWAYS controled by the emperor?

The darkside is not his choice?

If it is...why?

Why would he take up Vader's crusade to wipe out the Jedi?

I know keeping the Vader secret takes a careful slight of hand, but this doesn't seem to play fair with the audience. Especially when it can't be explain in your story without blowing the secret and it's not explained in the OT.

You should DEF start your own thread.

I'd like to brainstorm with ya again.
