I think that Darth Vader (pre final duel and armour) should strike Windu down.

Or does Anakin only become Vader after the duel with Kenobi? I can't remember.

I think that becoming Darth Vader requires that Anakin die, like Obi-Wan said in ROTJ, until he gets his armor he's still simply Anakin.

Personally, I want to see Obi-Wan and Anakin fight, Anakin become Darth Vader, then a brawl as someone else mentioned with Mace Windu holding off Darth Vader in full getup while Yoda and Obi escape with the kids. Just because I want to 1) see Mace fight and 2) see Darth Vader in action, and that's a way to get both in one package.

imdb.com says that Daniel Logan will return to play Boba Fett.

So unless we have aging drugs, or the film takes place over a long period of time, it's only going to be set a few years in the future.

I just have to wonder how different he will be in Episode III, I mean, just how much can a guy change anyway?

Not too different. He's already pretty evil in AOTC.

That was the first thing that came to my mind. I was hoping Boba would kill Windu as revenge for the death of his father. With only a 2-3 year time difference though it would have been very hard to explain in a decent and plausable manner.

What do you have against it?

btw, nice avatar

Well, there's the fact that Mace would be getting killed off by a friggin' kid. Hardly the coolest way to die, especially for a Samuel L. Jackson character.

I guess what goes around comes around...

Probably course of action for Fett/Windu/Anakin-Vader/Obi-Wan (IMHO)

The Jedi find out about his marriage to Padme, including she's pregnant now with the twins (possibly via Palpatine bringing it up as a matter of grave concern for his potiental successor, Padme)
The Jedi order Anakin to either leave the order and except a jedi supervisor, or divorce Padme, never see her again, and the twins are turned over to the temple for training, and Anakin never gets to see them
The message is delievered by Obi-wan at a secret meeting place being used to avoid Bounty Hunters hired by Dooku/Sidious, in this case, a factory
Anakin loses it, and ends up fighting Obi-Wan, Obi-wan is forced to wound Anakin, which causes Anakin to do the 'famous molten pit'
Anakin crawls out, now over to the Dark Side
Palpatine, who was watching, rescues him, and turns him into Darth Vader
Vader kills Dooku to save Padme
Padme realises just what has happened to Anakin, perhaps via the twins growing force potiental (who knows) and flee's.
Vader pursues Padme, who runs right into the Jedi temple
Padme gives birth to the twins
Palpatine comes with Vader, as it's time to finish off the Jedi order on Coruscant, and scatter them to be hunted
Boba Fett follows them, and gives Vader a weapon of some kind
Vader attacks the temple, and demands the Jedi give up Padme and surrender. The Jedi attack, and Vader slaughters them left, right and center, including cutting down Padawan's and kids
Mace Windu comes out and challenges Vader to a one on one duel. If Windu wins, Vader and Palaptine surrender, if they win, Windu is dead, and the Jedi will not protect Padme. (Buying time for Padme to escape with Obi-wan and Yoda)
Vader duels Windu. Boba Fett sniper shoots at Windu during the fight, distracting him
Vader uses the weapon, the 'smart rope' from RoTJ
Vader kills Windu
Vader goes into the Jedi temple, while Palpatine declares the Jedi traitors that tried to kill him, and one of them, Darth Vader, just saved him.
Vader fights Obi-Wan and Yoda in the temple, perhaps in the Jedi Council chamber and the liabrary while Padme gets the transport ready to leave
Transports full of fleeing Jedi start taking off. Knowing Vader can't track them all and doesn't know if the kids survived or were even born yet, Obi-wan and Yoda take off.
Vader goes to the transport chamber to try to find the co-ordinates
Padme is waiting for him with his old lightsaber
Padme refuses to let Anakin go any further
Vader tries to tempt her, and demands to know the fate of the children. Padme claims there son was still-borne
Padme and Vader fight. Padme holds her own pretty well, as the Jedi still on planet, not able to make it to a transport, are using the Force to help her fight.
Obi-Wan and Yoda make it to there hidden transports. Luke is in Obi-wan's, Leia is in Yoda's. They take the kids to there new homes
Padme see's the transports take off, and is distracted, moving her arm slightly
Vader, trying to disarm her without killing her, miscalculates because of the arm-drop thing, and kills her

Only one small problem...Leia remembers her mother's face.

What's the average that children start remember stuff like faces and being able to recall that one was beautiful? That's about the minimum that Padme and Leia can be when they are separated.

No idea. Earth, no force children without mental prompting about 1 to 2 years. My earliest memory I was about 16 months old, next one after that is probably about 3.

however, make one of them a force strong baby, remembering something years later with possible force prompting from her Jedi Knight brother...

However, add in Padme smiling over her kids, Luke asleep, Leia awake, and that they have force potiental, then a short EU story where Bail Organa explains a picture leia recognizes is her mother.... "kind" could be added by Leia's interuptation of what her mother should have been like, and the image in the picture. Padme playing with kids or helping the weak would consitute kind.

Besides, I like the idea of Padme dying to protect her kids

For four months now, Hayden Christensen has been working out like a fiend and basically scarfing down everything he can lay his hands on in order to bulk up for his role in the next Star Wars where his Anakin Skywalker will finally evolve into the dreaded Darth Vader.

I have to admit I laughed out loud when I read this just because I'd finished an Andy McNab book which used "bulking up" as slang for vomiting.

So far, the Canadian actor's packed about 20 pounds onto his rangy, six-foot-one-inch frame. But Christensen figures he's got at least another 10 to 15 to go before he'll have amassed the heft that the Dark-Side Darth demands.

Jesus, I haven't weighed 190 since Junior High.
