"Thanks a lot spolierboy."

How did I spoil the film at all?

1. The Emperor's name from the classic trilogy has been commonly known to be PALPATINE since his action figure was released back in 1983/84 with RETURN OF THE JEDI.

2. Emperor Palpatine in 1983's RETURN OF THE JEDI wears the same style robe as DARTH SIDIOUS of 1999's THE PHANTOM MENACE and 2002's ATTACK OF THE CLONES. Darth Vader is clearly the Emperor's apprentice in EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI. So common sense would lead you to conclude that Palpatine is...

3. Obi-Wan Kenobi in 1977's STAR WARS tells Luke that his former pupil DARTH VADER betrayed the Jedi, hunted down and killed them all, allowing the Empire to rise.

4. In 1980's EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, Vader tells Boba Fett "no disintegrations" when trying to capture Han Solo, indicating the two figures have worked together in the past.

5. In the commentary on the EPISODE TWO (ATTACK OF THE CLONES) DVD, George Lucas states the Clone Troopers become the STORM TROOPERS of the classic trilogy.

6. The Sith follow "the rule of two (2)." Meaning there can only be one (1) apprentice and one (1) master. When the apprentice kills the master, he becomes the master and can seek out an apprentice. Conversely, the master can find another willing to become his apprentice and if the hopeful kills the existing apprentice he can take his place. The Emperor gleefully pitted his apprentice Vader against Luke in RETURN OF THE JEDI. In THE PHANTOM MENACE, we see that Darth Maul before he is cut in two. At the end of ATTACK OF THE CLONES, we learn that Count Dooku is really the Sith Apprentice DARTH TYRANNUS. So guess what? For Anakin Skywalker to become DARTH VADER, he must kill ______ first. I wonder who that is?

7. George Lucas stated in an interview back in 1979 that Darth Vader fell into a lava pit during his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi which is why he is more-man-than-machine.

Posting common knowledge is not a "spoiler." I can't be held responsible if you just found out that Darth Vader is really Luke Skywalker's father...you are only 20 years behind the general pop culture if you just found out...
