Seems to me that no one has mentioned one point I think significant" Remember the scene - Two of the universe's wisest beings are discussing the future of their cause, and in five seconds the two thoroughly disagree! Whoever (or whatever - 'hope' may not be a person) this OTHER may be, there is enough ambiguity that this may be no hope at all! Surely this rules out Leia and Han ... and probably this mercenary, too. In fact, any living good sort with the power is an obvious hope; you don't need to be a Jedi Master to realize that! Because of all this, I say we have to look in shadows; either Darth or an unborn child. Only thing is, both of these possibilities make a sloppy story line. How about the hope being simply playing Darth against the Emperor? Too dull? -brian
