My Thoughts During RotS [SPOILERS]

[Dagger75]

How the hell can they not know Padme was pregnent with twins? I guess Ultrasounds are to advanced. We can make a holonet which make holographic images and sends them across the galaxy in real time but not a simple sonagram. You think the "Chosen One" could feel the 2 minds of the babies. The Sith can bring you back to life but nothing else. Wonder what the wait is to get a cybernetic hand.

This is the past, remember?

No, I was wondering the same thing. Someone, somewhere, is a moron. But, then again, Padme probably never was checked by a doctor because then maybe they could've found out who the father was (and Anakin would've been kicked out or whatever).

In the original trilogy and followup history stuff, I always thought Vader fell long before the twins were born. I seem to recall Vader as a Hunter of Jedi. So, from my perception, Padme had went into hiding, and the Jedi were split up and hiding, as Darth Vader hunted down the last of them.

In the movies, the Clone Troopers (arranged and paid for by the Jedi, but loyal to the Emperor?) kill the Jedi. Vader kills some Jedi Babies (and I guess a couple real Jedi off-screen/ in holorecording).

Basically, Vader kind of sucked in Ep3.

So, Obi Wan having to be told by Yoda that "there is another" makes no real sense when he handed the kid over. Vader not knowing about the twins is reduced sense. (Leia was good at hiding her powers though!) Leia remembering her mother was just the drugs talking...

I wonder at what point Vader realized he had a son?

Probably after the Death Star blew up and the word of a Rebel hero named Skywalker being the one to take it down.

Who wants to bet Vader's first thought was "They couldn't have been that stupid to leave his name the same..."

I was just wondering what he knew during the Tattoine stuff in Ep4. I mean... the stormtroopers wipe out his step brother or whatnot?

It'd be amusing to see what Vader did during the mid-times. Probably went to Tattoine and got some good ole' revenge...

You could see that as a reminder, not a revelation.

Well with Obi Wan changing the message warning any remaining Jedi not to return to the temple you set up the Vader Jedi hunting years, tracking down the remaining Jedi.

I was talking to a co-worker about RotS today (whose a much more serious Star Wars fan than I am), and realized something. Palpatine never showed Anakin or Greivous his copy of the Evil Overlord List.

My sister-in-law didn't know she was having twins until she was 8 1/2 months pregnant, so its not outside the realm of probability.

Also the fact that she was probably trying to keep the pregnacy out of the spot light also adds to the chance that twins went undiscovered.

Exactly. Vader slaughtered people at the jedi temple (with the help of a horde of clone troopers), but the changed message meant that there would be lots of jedi who don't come home... and so vader spends a profitable couple of decades hunting them all down between Ep3 and Ep4
