He wasn't. In fact he was just a simple Imperial general without any Force powers at first, I believe.

You've gotta be careful with these statements, though, since not only do characters evolve throughout the early drafts, but names shuffle between the archetypes. So, for example, I've seen some people claim that Luke was an old General in early drafts, but it's more accurate to say that Obi-Wan bore the name "Luke Skywalker" in some drafts instead.

Originally, Tarkin's name was "Darth Vader". Obi-Wan's was "Luke Skywalker". And Luke's was "Anakin Starkiller"; in one draft, Anakin Starkiller is a girl. Starkiller also had a cyborg father, and a twin brother named Deak.

Oh, Lucas originally wanted Leia to be Japanese. He also toyed with the idea of Toshiro Mifume playing Obi-Wan; the name "Obi-Wan Kenobi" is actually a holdover of this idea.

I suppose that this is what GL is referring to when he says that he wrote a draft where Luke and Leia were sort of both in it and Vader was there as their father.

if you go to the jedi bendu script site you can find all the drafts. t he one i like is the starkiller one when vader is not luke's father and is more evil. and palpatine was a pawn of emperor valorum iirc alderaan was cloud city. and ogana minor was blown up. anakin was 300 years old.

The story went through many iterations with different script versions, but personally I kind of have a hard time seeing how someone could prefer a different version than the one we actually ended up seeing brought to fruition. thinking

And in another version, Han Solo was "a huge green-skinned guy with no nose and large gills".
