Saga The Obi Wan & Anakin Trilogy...what went wrong?

Well we all got something different out of that fantastic movie. :-D

Which was...?

That Anakin was not selfish in his action!!!!!

In my world, when a person is willing to anything to gain that which he/she desires, that person is selfish.

Anakin was willing to slaughter innocent, defenceless children to gain the thing he desired the most: the power to save Padmé. Anakin may tell Padmé that he is doing it for her but if that was the truth he would have asked her what she wanted. Therefore his actions were based solely on what he wanted – not what Padmé may have wanted – thus making his actions selfish.

You're going in circles here. My question was, what is your reasoning for thinking that Padme would do the same thing Anakin did in ROTS? Your answer was, "That's what I saw and felt in the movie." My response to that was, "What would that be?" IOW, "What did you see and feel in the movie that made you think that Padme would do the same thing that Anakin did?" Your answer was that Anakin was not selfish.

OK. What are you basing this on? I have no idea "what you saw and felt in the movie" because I'm not inside your head.

And @FARK2005, exactly.

I feel for Anakin in his desperation and his fear that was so overwhelming that it drove him to irrationality (and IMO insanity) but I can't see any possible way to label his actions "unselfish."
