ST Should Luke be single, married, divorced, or a widower?

Well, tbh, Anakin and/or Vader always was a giant *******, no matter what he did in RotJ. And I am saying this despite being a huge fan of Vader. The only time he was a "good person" was as a nine year old imo.

But his greed is understandable. He grew up having nothing, neither power over himself, the faith of his relatives nor his destiny. So now he feels the need to compensate for that. He is frightened that if he doesn't hold onto power it will be taken away from him and he has good reasons to think that way. He is a control freak and I can kinda sympathize with that.

Edit: Language.

 

Guys. Language.

 

Thanks.

Regarding Vader... he may have been one dimensional in ANH, but I still loved him... haha. And in TESB I don't see him as being one-dimensional anymore; he already exhibits second thoughts about blindly following the Emperor, about harming Luke, and even about killing a subordinate who failed him (Piett goes unpunished at the end when they lose the Falcon).

 

I lose all objectivity when it comes to Vader in OT.
He's badass all through it and I love every second of his screen time.

 

He is quite mysterious in ANH. He stands out like a sore thumb in midst the other imperials, doesn't seem as impressed with the Death Star but still risks his life for the Empire. Quite the enigmatic character and it is no surprise he went on to become as popular as he is now.

 

I always liked how cool and casual Vader was about everything in the OT. His first scene is him taking a stroll through a hallway littered with bodies. He force chokes people as if he's swatting a fly. Half the reason the ESB duel was so cool and scary was because he was toying with Luke, like a cat playing with a mouse before eating it.

Then I see ROTS and he's all yelling and killing and icing the separatist council with by stomping after them with these big swings instead of locking the doors and just taking it casual. It just don't feel like Vader.1

Then you got all these EU materials where he's an angry murderbot, feh.

1. Of course rewatching the scene he does this over the back laser block on some schmuck droid, nice touch. But then he has to drop from the ceiling after Nutey like Batman or something.

 

That probably means we've killed this topic.

 

Oh well... there is a limit on what a few people can say on a certain topic based on no information whatsoever...

 

Everyone sure gave it their full effort though. Congrats everyone.

 

We aim to please and displease.

 

So, we calling it a wrap?

 

Or he should get a restraining order for the lot of us.

 

He should be quite well protected, in fact.

If he survives the freezing process, that is.

 

I need more "Like" options for that one, anakinfansince1983

 

Maybe Han should ask Robert Baratheon about paternity tests.

 

I am at this recent string of posts...

 

I said NOTHING about a standard or a requirement, I said it gives a better understanding of the story.

 

I DID get the impression from watching the movie as far as who Anakin was, it made perfect logical sense given how he felt about Padme. Remember, that is just YOUR impression, which doesn't mean it is the end-all; maybe you just missed the boat. It is not a requirement to read the book (nor did I say it was), it just helps, and that is true of just about ANY movie that was made from a book; you understand it better by reading the book.

The problem is, you were reaching very deeply as far as what your opinion was on Anakin to things that ALSO weren't in the movie; the things you were saying were just your induction. You were talking about whether or not he would die for Padme, whcih was a huge stretch. I merely pointed out that based on the story, I thought you were wrong, and that the deeper explanation of the story in the book gave further evidence that you were wrong. Fine to have an opinion on the character, but your opinion was based on a faulty premise, as evidenced by the book.
