Rate Revenge of the Sith *SPOILERS*

For the sake of the story as it exists today, just assume that Kenobi had invested so much into Luke that he really didn't see Leia as a possibility.

Well she did become a politician… and who knows maybe that’s what lead to Palpatine’s path to the dark side.

Besides, compared to some of the other edits in the original trilogy, this one would be minor for Lucas to pull off. It be like the Star Wars Christmas Special, it never happened!

one thing that kind of baffled me was that Obi-Wan apparently didn't know that Anakin was the father of Padme's child until he guessed it when he talked to her near the end of the movie. Just how dense are the Jedi? Everyone knew that Padme was pregnant, and nobody wondered about it? Anakin and Padme were all smoochy and huggy right before the arena scene, and they did it right in front of Obi-Wan! Who did they think was the father? Did they think Padme went out and picked up sailors in bars?

Obi-Wan and Anakin had been out in the outer rim for months, the first time that Obi-wan did see her after returning he did understand that it was Anakin's. As for the rest of the Jedi, they simply didn't know about the connection between the two of them, or of some of Anakin's other indiscretions.

Possibly...though I don't remember one like that off the top of my head. The novel is a fairly good indication of some cut scenes, though, and I still haven't read that yet.

I don't know, I just finished reading it and there are a fair number of variations in thigs that are in both, not to mention things missing from the movie that I'd just as likely chalk them up as additions by the author.

I like the change in Palpatine story of Plagueis to Anakin at the opera (clears up the we can learn it together bit), there is also a definitive statement on the relation between Sidious and Plagueis.

By the way, did you pick up the comic adaptation yet? I'm interested in the variations in that.

Well she did become a politician… and who knows maybe that’s what lead to Palpatine’s path to the dark side.

Maybe Obi-wan was jus dismissing her since he doesn't like politicians.

My words were spoken mostly in jest... I’m in the opinion that it should have been handled differently also but I’m not sure how you could have had the story you had without Obi-Wan being present for the birth. (Without it seeming that he was avoiding it just to avoid it.)

I have a friend who has a theory about Palpatine’s own turn to evil. He kept hearing people say “There goes Palpatine – he’s a Naboobian” and eventually this twisted him to evil.

That's actually quite clever. Maybe it was a combination of the two?
