No, that's just my own opinion, I never actually said it was a fact...

Mmmhmm, there goes your credibility.

You want to talk about credibility? Answer this question (Third time lucky), and then we'll discuss credibility:
When where the troopers in any way identified or adressed by their legion ID in the movie of RotS?

And this is movie vs. movie?

Great, we can use EU pertaining to the movies to back it up, end of story. I believe those're the rules of the forum

That still does not mean that the EU reference is more canon than the movie reference though. It might 'back up' a point that the movie has already made, but it certainly does not add to or detract anything from the validity of the movie. Example: Vader striking down Obi-Wan in ANH. Regardless of what the novelization said, the movie did not show Obi-Wan having any great difficulty in defending himself against Vader (nor of Vader being able to best him) The movie did however, show Obi-Wan glance at Luke, give him a 'check this out' look, and then hold his saber to his face and close his eyes. That was clearly not a combative attitude, but one intentionally leaving him completely open to the attack. Given that he had been able to hold Vader off with no difficulty for the rest of the duel, there is no evidence to suggest that Vader could have over come him and struck him down, so the conclusion is that Obi-Wan let Vader strike him down, because he wanted to become one with the Force.

And it's a coincidence Lucas gave numerous nods to the EU within the movies?

Exactly.In an interview somewhere,Lucas said that Dark Empire,Dark Empire 2,and Empire's End were the closest thing to a Sequel Trilogy. 😉Go look it up on Wookieepedia.

He also told LA to put colors on Delta Squad in the Republic Commando video game so as to keep up with the continuity. 😉

And as I said before, for every reference he does keep from the EU, he just as quickly writes over it with a movie. History of Boba Fett (one of my worst characters) for example... Anakin falling in lava somehow turning to catching fire in the movie...

There's no confirmation of Vader hunted down and destroying the Jedi Knight?

It was mentioned in ANH.

And Vader was holding off Kenobi quite well, too. It's also arguable that he was toying with Kenobi. Compare how he (Prowse) fights in ANH to how he fights in ESB (He is a professional fencer in the Bespin Duel).

Okay, I stopped reading the posts. I'm just saying on-topic things now. George Lucas says that Vader and Obi Wan have grown more powerful sense that last time they fought. From A New Hope, the novel. Also, it shouldn't be debated as to weather Vader beat Kenobi, because he did.

"Vader found himself face to face with his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Vader defeated the aged Jedi Knight in a lightsaber duel." http://starwars.com/databank/character/darthvader/index.html
