i remember thinking for YEARS "man all i hope is that we get to see vader (in his suit i thought at the time) kill some jedi" then i rememebr being all upset when i heard that episode three was going to be so much time before episode iv... i was worried i would miss out seeing an in suit vader kill the jedi that hid all over the galaxy trying to escape the purge..
imagine my surprise to find out that its even darker, cooler, more vicious than THAT! I never imagined, all the years that i was awaiting the PT, that a YOUNG Vader/Anakin would be killing even children.. children!
I don't know what I thought happened to the Jedi Younglings. I guess before I saw Episode 1, I always thought that Jedi were picked at a much older age. Once I learned that they were picked as close to birth as possible, it never dawned on me that the Empire would kill children in the Jedi Purge.
Now I'm amazed and like the character in "Enter The Dragon" who won't kill the defenseless cat.. I find that there is a point which even a dark soul like me won't go beyond..
I can't say that Im looking forward to seeing the younglings die. But I am excited to know that Lucas is not half the wuss I thought he was after seeing Ep I+II... knowing that he put the younglings dead bodies in Ep III
