New Motee!!
After the attack on the Temple, Obi-Wan and Yoda enter the Temple disguised. Amazed at the carnage, Obi-Wan wants to see for himself the damage Anakin has inflicted.
He finds the holoscan recording. Obi-Wan, staring, cannot believe what he sees and hears.
In front of him he sees Anakin bow before the Sith Lord.
"The traitors have been destroyed, Lord Sidious. And the
archives are secured. Our ancient holocrons are again in the hands
of the Sith," says Vader.
"Good . . . good . . . Together, we shall master every secret of the
Force," says the Sith Master. "You have done well, my new apprentice. Do you feel your power growing?"
"Yes, my Master."
"Lord Vader, your skills are unmatched by any Sith before you.
Go forth, my boy. Go forth, and bring peace to our Empire."
Obi-Wan shuts down the holoscan, then collapses on the floor in agony.

han solo?.....wtf?....and the old holocron rumour again....lotta people be eating hats right now on forums all over the net....
Rumour is that Lucas cut this scene because it clashed with the EU explanation of how Han saved Chewie, and that he worried his SW fans would rebel if Han Solo's character was destroyed thanks to Episode III.....
And he is right about that>I mean SW is Lucas' thing, but rewriting all SW-history(EU-based) he'd destroy the greater context of SW-history(in this example; Han's story).
Let us not forget the fact that EU has a fairly great deal of sales in merchandise(in it's own right) of the total Lucasfilm incomings.
Lucas signed a contract in which he gave exclusive rights to EU-material>what is possible, what isn't.
Even as SW-creator you can't just simply tinker with that.
And ofcourse nowdays these trademark (prequel)films and EU just don't depend on the mind of just ONE MAN anymore, but on offers/demands/
comprimising by LF-employees, writers, fans and public in common>>>it is lived by many people across the globe.
You just have to think in the greater (public)context concerning the name 'SW' has become!
If GL didn't see that, the fans wouldn't have taken SW that serious anymore.
Luckily even Lucas saw that in time!
A great example; Lucas always had the basic outline of the Obi/Ani-duel
in a lava-environment(and was already written in some EU-material).
So, in time people/fans started to believe in that and saw this(piece of SW-history) happening in their minds.
Had he placed the duel in a Naboo-like environment in which Obi-Wan had thrown acid at Ani at some point, the whole issue wouldn't have worked, because he would've destroyed the fans pre-made vision in one egocentric decision.
Enough said...hope you people understand what I mean!!!
