I saw Star Wars for the first time when I was 7 and it has shaped my life much like it has yours. I too am more likely to be interested in the villan than the hero. But I actually think this might be my favorite of all of the movies and it really tied itself into the first three for me. There was a symmetry to it.
And that's sort of what happens between Sith and Star Wars, somehow--suddenly, nobody in the known universe aside from the Emperor and Ben Kenobi can remember that Darth Vader used to be hunky young Anakin Skywalker (a bit of a boob even for a Jedi, but he sure could fly spaceships!).
Not that I'm defending Lucas and his wacky logic, that would be kind of like trying to defend Fontana's timeline. It simply can't be done. LOL But who else is really left at the end of Sith who knows that Anakin is really Vader? Vader pretty much slaughtered everyone who knew he had turned except Obi Wan and Yoda. And I doubt very seriously that Uncle Owen and Aunt Verue would have taken the baby had they known that Anikan was in fact Vader.
Hell, not ever Vader seems to remember...that's certainly the only reason I can think of that he never, apparently, thinks of looking for at least the one baby he suspects Padme probably had before she died ON HIS OWN HOMEWORLD, maybe LIVING WITH HIS ONLY KNOWN RELATIVES, possibly UNDER THE NAME OF SKYWALKER.
Well having seen the movie twice in two days, I will say that it appears that they made it look like Padme died while still pregnant. The scene with her in the coffin shows the trinket that Anakin gave her hanging across her very large belly. Also, are Owen and Verue SkyWalkers? Owen was the son of the man that Anakin's mother married, so ?????
Of course it makes no sense that he has the Skywalker name. LOL And maybe you can explain this to me, how is it that the last scene with Vader and the Emperor show the Death Star under construction and yet it's just finished during Star Wars. Hmmmm... the Empire must have some strict Union rules. LOL
All in all though I adored this move. It was the first of the new three to give me that sense of wonderment and excitement that I had as a kid. It was a better ending than I could have ever hoped for.
