I am being bombarded with questions here. My family is so confused. :confused:

I cannot help them.

#302

What’s really bad about slaughtering the younglings isn’t just that Anakin kills a bunch of random children, it’s that they’re children who know and trust him. How do you possibly get redemption from something like that? :mad:

Don’t get me wrong, it’s perfect for a galactic-level villain like Darth Vader, but “Father, I know there is good in you”? Not after that. :mad:

#303

Master Skywalker, there’s too many of them… :frowning:

yup, that’s the “Anakin’s Betrayal” piece

#304

It adds to the confusion. The music is powerful and dramatic but leading up to this just makes you scratch your head.

#305

Well, that’s the question. Where is the line when somebody can’t be seem redeemable again.

“Master Skywalker. I just wanna get a hug.” :smiley:

#306

What questions do they/you have?

#307

In a kid’s show? No, not really.

I mean, really, would anyone accept a cartoon about a young, idealist Austrian painter, knowing how he ends up? A tall, gangly Saudi Arabian teenager with formidable organizational and engineering skills?

#308

True. It’s one thing to oppress people and allow the rise of a dictator. It’s another to slaughter young children. Anakin goes from a brave warrior to a coward. He’s not even Darth Vader at this point. He’s King Herod.

#309

Yeah, I think it’s right there. :mad:

#310

Loyalty to the Chancellor, The Senate and you. Bad ranking dude, bad ranking!! The Senate should be above Palpatine. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

#311

The thing is, in a lot of ways this isn’t a kid’s show. (especially this episode, PG-13)

#312

“Who is doing Padme’s hair?” --mrs. talos

My answer: Threepio, of course.

#313

yeah when he talks about if Obi-Wan remained loyal to the Chancellor? sound a bit personalist to me

#314

I guess fictional characters and actual persons make it hard to compare this on them.

Jeremy Bulloch! :slight_smile: He’s one of the fan-friendlies actors from the Saga.

And Yoda’s lightsaber throw. :cool:

#315

Sure. Obviously Vader probably killed millions of children in his time, but they were distant, anonymous. These kids were an actual betrayal on top of murder. You can’t come back from that. In many ways, revealing that moment in the prequels makes his redemption in RotJ ring false, something we never feel in the original trilogy alone. :frowning:

SPQR :cool:

I meant the cartoon.

#316

Padme’s hair clip (OK it’s bigger than a clip… ornament) during the senate speech is quite interesting

#317

How did his personality shift so quickly?
You don’t wake up corrupt.
How do you go from defender to psychopath?
He gave no indication up until this point. Those children did nothing to him.

#318

Show me your nice glowing eyes.

Mustafar is IMO the most easiest level in Battlefront since you can mow down the enemies in there narrow corridors. Besides the Tantive IV.

#319

Years later, the liberty dies, to thunderous applause line still strikes me as 2005-ly appropriate in the US.

#320

I liked Felucia, too.
