In the making of booklet, there was a portion of the script where Palpatine tells Anikan that he was created by the Sith, but Lucas took it out because it was too easy of a way out to explain Anikan's fall. He would have gone from being a good man who was seduced and corrupted and then redeemed. to someone who was born to be a Sith and then had no way of being redeemed.
I watched ANH last night and I have to admit that the prequel series has now completely changed the way that I viewed Darth Vader. When we saw Vader for the first time on the Tantive IV we still saw him as the key villian, but we saw the tragedy and the fact that he was trapped.
Also I was amazed at how close EM was to Alex Guiness in portraying Obi Wan Kenobi.
It was actually quite cool
