Revenge of the sith v Empire strikes back

Hee hee...What is this weird point you keep pushing? Every second post is about people not knowing "Vader". wt...?

You mean, how Sidious just said "you will be known as Darth...Vader"?

...or how Yoda said "consumed by Darth Vader"?

Who knows...never bothered me though. Yoda probably just figured it out through the force.

Or maybe how this whole Darth/Sith thing works is that the spirits or beings of these various "Darths" have just been kinda floating around for eons until people give into the dark side enough and become embodied by them...like demons or something. So, Darth Sidious himself was actually just some normal dude that at one point got consumed by the Sith spirit "Sidious".

Who cares if it's not explained...it's kinda cool not knowing. Doesn't have any effect on the movie/storyline.

...honestly, I personally don't know and don't care much of what's outside the movies... kinda make a point of it.

I think this has been countered before: What do you think he was doing, sucking a bottle from mommy Palpatine? No. ANH explains how he's famous and known, because he's the exterminator of the Jedi. No need for any stupid "OMGUEZ, VAYDAH KEELD JEDAI, *FANBOY/GIRL SQUEAL!!* ;iehgeilohltoiuh" >_> Seriously.

Ummmm. ANH is after Sith...I don't think you've quite gotten what he's gettin' at.

Why is this poll still open.

It's not.

Yes. All you're saying is that the audience knows...he's wondering about how everyone knows (even the characters).

it should be re opened
i vote ESB
it cant be a tie
its preposterous
Sith is a muddled mess.just a bunch of scenes which dont fit whilst ESB is seamless
its the perfect movie
it says it all when one of the most memorable bits of an "event" movie is a scene with no dialogue and someone staring out of a window with a bit of haunting background music
if you rate SITH above EMPIRE you should be questioning your appreciation of if not STAR WARS but movies in general

"im weak.....im weak......dont kill me"
GIVE ME A BREAK!

Uuuugh! In ROTS! How did they know in ROTS! That's what I'm saying he's asking! Why do you keep talking about ANH??!! Obviously people knew about Vader 30 years later...

...maybe this dude doesn't realize that...which would mean he's asking a weirder question than I thought.

I put ESB and ANH above ROTS, personally...

Yea but who knew that the black suited guy is actually vader 19 years later, the whole galaxy knew that and obviously ROTS never explains how every body knows him, So of course lucas works with james luceno for RODV and i think RODV is not disregarded by GL

Obi-Wan explains why everyone knows him. 😐

Would you have rathered that GL had made the movie 30 minutes longer so we can see him defeating insignificant Jedi survivors and making speeches in the Senate - purely so it solves the non-existing problem of him being known in the OT?

A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he
turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi
Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father. Now the Jedi are all
but extinct. Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force - Obi-Wan Kenobi

He outright states that Vader hunted down and destroyed the Jedi. We also know that the Jedi were at their prime when this happened and were known throughout the galaxy for their strength and abilities. If this doesnt instill fear into people and make one known then I dont know what does.
