	DarthGizmo posted: An odd one that I had. In the Empire of Dreams documentary GL states that he spoke to some psychologists about Vader's revelation to understand how kids would take it. They advised him that they would not believe Vader is Luke's father as young kids would refuse to believe that Luke's father could be evil. When I first saw ESB as a 6 or 7 year old in the mid 80s I refused to believe that Luke's father could be evil but took it a very different way. I was perfectly happy to accept that Vader was Luke's father but had trouble with the Vader being evil part. From that point to me he was really part of the alliance pretending to work for the Empire. ROTJ reinforced this as Vader killed the Emperor. I never picked up on the whole inner conflict thing at that age. I can even remember when playing with Star Wars toys, Vader was always a "goodie", the "baddies" just thought he was on their side. That's an interesting perspected. Darth Vader the Alliance spy. That's enough to make me wonder if someone wrote a story to that extent. Anyway back on topic, here are some misconception that I had as a child: I thought Darth Vader was Dark Vader (just like many people on this thread thought, except I didn't know I was saying it wrong until a few months ago), and I sometime said C-P3O instead of C-3PO. This was due to the fact that P and 3 sounded to me. Now I also ha some misconception in my later years. One of them was how Anakin would like in TPM. I had read an article in some teen magazine that Hayden had been casted as Anakin. However, I didn't read the article carefully enough to realize that he had been cast for the 2nd episode, not the first. So when I finally saw TPM and saw this little boy as Anakin, I was greatly disappointed. I have since learned to live with it. My second misconception was in regards to how Anakin lost his remaining three limbs. I saw a clip on Youtube and was shocked to see that Anakin had all of his limbs cut off. I knew that this must have happened on Mustafar, so I went around looking the clip of the duel that took place. (It should be noted that at this time, the only Star Wars film that I have seen at this time in it's entirety is ESB, all other knowledge of the franchise came from movie clips, fanfics and Wookiepedia.) Before seeing the duel, I came up with the theory that Anakin lost his arm in the middle of the duel and his legs at the end. So I finally found the clip of the Mustafar duel and started watching. All the while I'm thinking 'Okay, he is going to lose his arm here' until it get to the near end of the fight and he still has his arm. So then I get to thinking that maybe I misinterpreted the first clip wrong, maybe Anakin still had one natural arm. The end of the duel happens and Anakin loses his legs. At this point I am very confused and I go to Wookiepedia to verify what happened on Mustafar. What I found said that he did in fact lose his three remaining limbs on Mustafar. So I go back to watch the clip and after seeing the clip about 10 or more time, I finally realize what happened. When he was in the middle of preforming his flip with a half twist, Obi-Wan cut off his arm and when he went was about to land on his feet, his legs were cut off. If I had other misconceptions, then I forgot what they were.

	When i was really little I used to think it was called "Star Wuz", because when you say it really fast like everyone did thats what it sounded like to me :P Oh yeah, and when Darth vader slices Obi-wan my parents told me he teleported to another planet and can't get back, hence why you always see him as a "hologram" in the next movie :P -----signature----- Anakin: "I see you got barbecue sauce on my bath robe" Obi-Wan: "You have done that yourself!"

	I might have to watch ESB again to confirm this, but just before Han and Leia smooch in the Falcon, and Leia says: "I happen to like nice men." I'm not sure if Han says: "I'm a nice man." or "I'm nice men." If Han says "I'm nice men," it would show he's getting flustered in his own cool Corellian way.

	Before I ever heard of editing, I used to think movies were filmed all at once. So as a child I had a great admiration for the Star Wars actors, who could act out a whole two-hour movie without forgetting any lines. -----signature----- Where Few Tread - KOTOR Drabbles: http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=29122175&brd=10475 Lost & Kotor fic/fanart: http://community.livejournal.com/paths_uncrossed/

	I thought that Boba Fett's name was Bulba Fett... I also remember that before I saw ROTJ, one of my friends told me that Luke Skywalker was one of the only Jedi to turn to the darkside and then return, referencing one of the EU novels, but I thought he was talking about the movie, and I spent a long time trying to figure out whether he turned evil at Jabba's Palace when he used the Force choke and wore black, at the end when he got mad at Vader and chopped off his hand, or if my friend mixed up Luke and Anakin and he was talking about when Anakin becomes good again at the end of the movie.

	Couple of ones I remember very well. Vader only wore a suit so he could be stronger(Like Iron man) Owen was a jedi(His clothes). Death Star II was Death Star I remains. That Ben's lightsaber kept cutting off in the duel in ANH. For the first 15 minutes of TPM I though Qui-Gon was a much older Luke and the story had picked up 30 years after ROTJ(I was 10ish). Ewoks were baby wookies. For a lonnnnnnnng time i never knew Yavin was getting ready to be blown up at the end of ANH, I just thought they were randomly attacking the Death Star.

	DarthSeether posted: In ESB I thought 3P0 said "Don't worry about Master Luke. I'm sure he'll be alright. He's quite PLAPPY you know. For a human being."-------I guess I thought "Plappy" meant tough or pliable or durable or something. then from reading some of the posts here, it hit me: Dad is one of those people who thought Jabba ate Oola instead of a frog!! And unlike those who thought he shrank down Oola, Dad thought that Jabba was just frigging gigantic and picked up Oola out of the water for a quick snack. That made me hyperventilate with laughter Thanks. I needed it. -----signature----- Palpy's Little Darling A proud member of the Darth Vader Fan Club. Join it or die.
