Well in the new Clone Wars series, Anakin already has his scar three months into the war and Grievous has already been unleashed on the Jedi, which means Hypori and the entire Obsession arc are being ignored by the 'new' canon. Apparently the movie and the new series are on the same level of canon as the movies.
Looks like it. Unless it's another scar over his right eye I'm thinking of.

You can see it as 1:05 - 1:06 pretty clearly. Ironic, since according to Wookiepedia Lucasfilms was trying to mesh with current continuity well, and here they go screwing it all up in the first part of the series.

This story was horrible and full of messing up continuity.
apparently it was the emperor idea to start the rebellion now and the rebel alliance as of episode 4 has only been around for less than 2 years. That's just one lame idea from many.

Agreed. So far, I completely deplore the entire plot to TFU once it passes the Jedi-hunting stage. Anything related to the Galactic Civil War is just... ridiculous. They took the concept (which wasn't bad) and trashed it.
....I saw all that business (it being sh!t and screwy, not the actual details) a mile away.
BTW: What continuity are you guys talking about? The entirety of Star Wars, from the films to the books to the games, has been based on taking everything that came before (or after, in the timeline) and completely erasing or refashioning it for the current trend.
Not to nit-pick, but how does Palpatine (essentially) allowing for the rise of the Rebellion mesh with the current EU and common-sense at all?
lol, fail....again.
Also: Everything I've read in this thread (and some of the things I've read elsewhere) make it quite clear that, contrary to what people grasping at straws are trying to make it seem like, Vader DID get his @$$ handed to him - sure, he held his own for a while, but he DID eventually get his @$$ kicked.
LAME. I thought Vader was the "Chosen One"? Even messed up, he's still supposed to be THE BEST aside from Palpatine, and the potential of Luke, (and Leia, if the implications of Yoda are regarded).
Enough ranting for now....
To be clear, it's not as if Palpatine ordered Vader to orchestrate the idea of rebellion; Mon Mothma, Garm Bel Iblis, and Bail Organa had been thinking of revolution prior to Palpatine's ascension to Galactic Emperor -- Starkiller merely gave them sufficient motivation to unite. They had been fighting the Empire for years prior.
