Geez Chef, old news, old news. I've known about this for months now, that pictures been out for a while as well, and his character was also on the last episode of cartoon network's Clone Wars series (it wasn't bad actually). It is a HORRIBLE name (though proboably no worse than Darth MAUL or Darth TYRANUS), and as someone said, you might as well call him General Bad Guy. However, the character itself doesn't look horrible, and could be interesting. Sure it'll be over-the-top and a bit illogical, but I've come to accept and expect that from the prequels. So taken in that context, I'll reserve judgement until the movie comes out. I believe he's meant to be a precursor to Darth Vader (half-alien, half-machine), and I heard that part of his armor may be used to make some of Vader's armor, though that's probably just a rumor. I just don't like the fact that he's a non-Force user who can kill Jedi so easily (unless he can use the Force, who knows), but he doesn't look that bad.
