[QUOTE]Originally posted by E. Cartman: [QB] "I'm sure I recall Dooku referring to Windu as being his former master." After Mace sneaks up on Dooku and Jango from behind and pulls out his Bad Mothafucker, a mildly surprised Dooku acknowledges his presence with "Master Windu..." - he's merely being polite. Later, Obi-Wan gets the same treatment ("Master Kenobi..."). "I seem to recall, years ago, the Star Wars lore that said Vadar, as a youth, fell into a volcano whilst fighting in a duel with Obiwan. Does this have any weight, or was it mere fanfic speculation?" This was in the novelization of [i]Return of the Jedi[/i]. Obi-Wan tells Luke: "We fought... your father fell into a molten pit. When your father clawed his way out of that fiery pool, the change had been burned into him forever --- he was Darth Vader, without a trace of Anakin Skywalker. Irredeemably dark. Scarred. Kept alive only by machinery and his own black will... " Near the end, we get a glimpse of Vader's thoughts: "These were memories he wanted none of, not now. Memories of molten lava, crawling up his back... no. This boy had pulled him from that pit --- here, now, with this act. This boy was good." As to how much weight it carries... that's a matter of perspective, really. Very little of what Kenobi says can be taken literally, as he seems to have a cynical and figurative attitude towards truth. "It also seemed to me, that in Ep II, 3PO doesn't remember R2 at all. Again his memory must've been erased in between I and II." Well, R2 and 3PO didn't spend much quality time together... maybe Lars wiped his memory when he purchased and subsequently married Schmi (unlikely, since 3PO did remember Anakin & Padme), or the droid's got a pretty selective case of amnesia. "But this Padme and Leia going to Aldaran after the Clone wars, where's this from? Does Padme/Amadala have actual basis in Wars lore?" Leia is a senator from Alderaan and an adopted member of the royal family, so it stands to reason she was taken there by Padme and Organa during the final years of the Clone Wars (which ended some twenty years prior to [i]A New Hope[/i]). "I thought the main characters and events of Ep I and II were invented and written then and there by Lucas at the inception of the films." They were, for the most part. The problem is that there's a whole lot of semi-established "canon" which Lucas is going directly against, leading to contradictions within the SW universe and a very ugly mess for us fanboys to clean up.
