After all, they're actively trying to kill him, so it shouldn't even matter if the Jedi get the hint anyhow. The Visual Dictionary even mentioned he had to hold back a lot of his powers just to avoid exposing himself at the wrong moment during that time. Speaking of Star Wars, if some of these plot leaks are true, then Kojima has finally become George Lucas. There were signs this might happen with MGS4, when he started explaining away things with nanomachines. Now according to the leaks, the Cobra unit were only special because of parasites. Sounds like midi-chlorians all over again...

Like Darth Vader, who we learn in the prequels wasn't evil of his own accord but instead manipulated into turning bad, Venom is manipulated by Big Boss and Zero. MGSV could turn out to be the most divisive game in the franchise. Even more so than MGS2, which ranks near the bottom of many fan's lists of favorite games. Well, in all fairness, ROTJ did imply he may have been manipulated by Palpatine anyhow. But yeah, Kojima has pretty much become George Lucas, heck, even making a love song for an evil group in one of his entries (remember, Lucas basically based the Ewoks on the Vietcong and implied that he did the Battle of Endor's ground portion as a reflection on American involvement in the Vietnam War). Actually, screw that, now Kojima's even WORSE than Lucas. At least Lucas actually DID show Vader's descent to evil. Based on the leaks, Kojima actually used a fall guy for Big Boss.
