Being sick, I watched the OT back to back to back. I caught some things I hadn’t before. For example, when Vader is trying to get Like to join him after he’s cut Luke’s hand off, he tells him, ”Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny!”
Don’t get me wrong, I was excited that the emperor was coming back in Ep IX. But there was also a small part of me that was a little worried Abrams was doing it for the wrong reasons. Hearing that line though, I’m pretty convinced this was the plan all along.
What do you think?

I don't think Luke will be destroying Palpatine. Because no one ever really dies.
Did the emporer forsee it the way snoke saw kylo killing rey?
Yep, he never saw A New Hope, and so he just happened to remake it.
Good catch - but Disney favours their hollow and poorly written characters over the classics, and they will "win" the day, sadly.
Remember - no good writing in this ST, and TROS will be no different - I have foreseen this!
The big giveaway to me was always in A New Hope, when Obi-Wan and Darth Vader are dueling. Obi-Wan addresses him as Darth ("Only a master of evil, Darth") as though it's his first name. Later on they just sorta went "oh uh, it's a title, yeah totally" but nobody ever addresses another Sith as "Darth" without the rest of their Sith-name anywhere else in the lore.
As for why it started with "Episode IV," they were aping really old sci-fi serials that Lucas presumably grew up being a fan of, which would frequently have many episodes and a thus had recaps similar to the now-famous title crawl at the beginning.
Honestly, that makes sense with the way the movie is laid out. However, and I’m just relaying what I’ve learned over the years (from Rebel Force Radio, Wondery’s Inside Star Wars, interviews, etc.) he actually did want it to be more than one movie. It was such a pain getting Star Wars (ANH) off the ground nobody expected what would eventually happen after it premiered to actually happen. When it became the hit that it did, he was like awesome cause there’s more.
Granted, he does tend to contradict himself every once in a while.
Could be he was just mocking him?
He was probably remarking on how far Anakin had fallen, acknowledging him only by his Sith title.
Like an adult scolding a child. Now, when I watch that scene I'm going to replace the word "Darth" with "Mister" in my head....as in "You're in big trouble Mister!"
