Does it, really? If we accept Star Wars as the morality play it seems to be, Darth Vader easily puts even Hitler to shame. Vader kills more people in the average afternoon than Hitler did in his entire life. And yet, we’re supposed to see good in him, after all this? It’s just hard to accept.
the music for obi-wan and padme’s convo’s great.
And love love love Anakin’s tear.
Don’t come to me with Latin!! I burned all that stuff at a fire with friends years ago!
Too much input to compute shutdown
Good, I as the only non American resident didn’t wanna bring this up here.
It is a fine level, but for me it was too confusing with all the glassy plants.
Arguably, Palpatine might be influencing him. But, yeah, it’s way too abrupt. That kind of shift should have occurred over the entire course of the prequels, not all at once after a single conversation.
That’s hot.
You ain’t kidding.
True. It’s overkill.
Padme’s realization of what Anakin has become is another teary moment for me
The Dark Side = de Duister Kant
Learning sci-fi terms in Dutch is fun!
Obi-wan. The voice of reason.
It’s too late. My mind has left the building. Just fight with them flashy light swords.
I think that Padme and Anakin exchange is the best of their scenes this whole film.
(though I am looking forward to the flashy light sword fight)
I totally see your point. For a long time I also saw Vader a antagonist. And for some part I still do. Butin the end he killed the EMperor and sacrificed himself in the process. If they had let him live, that would make me :mad:
But IMO there is no clear black and white. Everything is gray. Damn you LOST for instilling this view into me with Benjamin Linus!
Tell me when your “breaking my heart” line is spoken.
The Palpatine/Yoda fight is truly epic.
Worth the price of admission all on its own.
Jedi’s being pro-democracy seems a bit off, given their whole framework.
you’re not with me you’re my enemy… o hai GWB
already past it. Yoda just walked in to see Palpy.
OK here we go
Maybe I’m more OK with a reading of Vader as not super villain guy because I always found Luke annoying and non-heroic.
But then again I’m all about the ambiguity in my fiction.
my… little… green… friend.
I’m singing the tones of the Battle of the Heroes score right out loud.
Of course! He’s an amazing villain. Probably one of the best ever. But you can’t make him THAT evil and then just turn it off and suddenly he’s a good guy.
Butin the end he killed the EMperor and sacrificed himself in the process. If they had let him live, that would make me :mad:
He became one with the Force, so he did live, from a certain point of view. :rolleyes:
“It’s over, Anakin! I have the high ground.”
I think that only works in Greco-Roman wrestling. :rolleyes:
