Ten things that the final Star Wars needs to resolve. A really interesting article to read even if you're a casual Star Wars watcher.

EDIT: Uh, I think I just heard a radio commercial for a local TV news story about zombies. Zombies. O.o

OTHER EDIT: O'Reilly's talking about the Real ID Act. Kill me now.

Nah, that's fine, I can wait until the movie comes out. I wasn't asking because I had to know right away, but rather because I don't have anything else to do until May 19.

But I am glad that everyone who's been spoiled has suggested to me that all my questions actually have answers. There were a couple that I wouldn't have blamed Lucas for not quibbling over.

Well, some you need to read between the lines. Allow me to give an example. There are things in the comics which are contradicted.

This is NOT a spoiler for the movie, but it IS background. I will reveal what is NOT revealed in the movie, but as it is background, I will leave space so you are not spoiled.

Ok, that should be enough spoiler space.

In the game Jedi Knight, they reference the Valley of the Jedi. Way back when, the Sith were a society, and there were lots of them. A Sith Lord, Darth Bane, was the sole surviver of a battle with the Jedi, in the trap which resulted in the spirits being trapped in the Valley. He felt there were too many Sith Lords, and so decided there would only be two at a time, a master, and an apprentice. So the Sith were trained this way, and as they fought to oppose the Jedi, they became better at stealth, and less open about their power. As a result, they were more powerful, as there was less infighting, and the individual Lords were able to follow their instincts. Thus revenge refers to all but one of the Sith Lords being killed.


This is technically not a spoiler, but it is a plot point in the movie.

Still interested? Ok.

Darth Sidious was undetected for a simple reason... HE WASN'T USING THE FORCE. He was using regular human ability, thus there was nothing to detect. He was able to cloak himself, and as that was what he was focusing on (think passive sonar) he was able to counter the Jedi's actions, without needing to use the force.
