He definitely doesn't know Vader is Anakin....Lucas didn't know when he wrote the conference room scene.
To me, that's the single most important thing to keep at the front of all story discussions involving any Lucas-penned Star Wars. The "saga" was written on the fly, so a great many things were simply not what they were changed to years later.
That's a detail that seems completely lost on other Star Wars boards. I'm truly shocked at how many younger fans actually buy the Original Vision bullshit. It's like they've completely taken leave of any actual thought.
