Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Pre-release)

The crazy thing about those outtakes is the last one at yavin. When the older pilot tells Luke that he previously met his dad. The tone leads me to believe that Lucas hadn't decided yet about anakin being vader
 
Well, he hadn't, but regardless, Red Leader could have met Anakin when he was still Anakin. "When I was a boy" was probably well before Luke was born. ;)

Yeah he meant he knew Anakin during the Clone Wars. It doesn't matter about Vader because if I remember correctly Lucas said that only the Emperor, Yoda, Obi Wan, and Luke know Vader was Anakin Skywalker (post ESB until Luke tells Leia). Tarkin knows that Vader was a Jedi Knight, but not who he was. That is unless the new EU screwed with that.

In the new Tarkin novel its heavily implied Tarkin knows it's Anakin.
 
It's not so much that people knew anakin. It's that they know he has a son. That was a pretty guarded secret

I think it would be more of a propaganda tool for the Emperor if Anakin was assumed to have been killed in Order 66. He could say that even the greatest Jedi was taken out.

You mean that Jedi he always hung out with? That wasn't exactly a secret. Also, you're giving that slack way too much credit.

Luke: "Ben! Why didn't you tell me? You told me that Darth Vader betrayed and murdered my father."
Obi-Wan: "Your father...was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and "became" Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So what I told you was true...from a certain point of view."

So, from a certain point of view, Anakin died before Order 66 was given and executed.
 
I thought we already had a full trailer?!

From this moment on, I boycott any new footage.

No, all we've had are two teasers.

Yeah, I was thinking I had read that Lucasfilm's presence at SDCC would be light, but this is obviously not the case. I wish there was gonna be a live feed of their presentation!
