"i dont want to lose you..."

the whole purpose of these movies IS to show parallels between luke and anakin. when watching the movies in order, we will know the steps anakin takes, and how those actions lead him to the dark side. then we see luke, his son, his only shot at redemtion, following those same steps. it ups the ante, so to speak, as to whether luke will follow the same dark path as his father. from vaders perspective, he can see that luke goes through the same things he went through. but luke does not turn, the emperor does not trick him, luke will die trying to turn his father back to the light side. THAT is why anakin turns. you may say its stupid, but in reality, its superb storytelling.

for me it's just not being orginal! probably because I know the OT already

no matter what GL does with these movies, you know were going to be dissapointed. and you also know that after we get used to the idea that they didnt turn out the way we wanted them to, were going to like em, anyways! just like with TPM.

Maul rulez!

I agree with bigsef; the mirrored jorneys make for good storytelling.

Mirrored journey.....hmmm....interesting.

I like the thought....but Anakin's being tricked....and Anakin's turning to the dark side to saved a loved one....both seem a bit out of character for him.

"Some day I will be the most powerful jedi ever...." Though I do believe that it is a conscious choice to turn to the dark side.

no one has ever argued that anakins turning to the dark side is what GL means when he says he was tricked. no one can be tricked into becoming something so evil. what tricked means, is that at some point along the line, anakin was tricked, and that led him down a course of actions that caused him to DECIDE to turn to the dark side. He is tricked, so we can feel sorry for him, he didnt have everything going in his favor, but in the end, he made a decision.

Your saying Anakin's tricked then a snowball effect takes place....then he decides to be evil??? 😕

When did GL say Anakin was tricked?

a year or so ago

ohhh I see...well if it came "straight from the horses' mouth" I guess We ought to take it seriously, huh.

Yeah, but it was so vague it is hard to make anything of it.

Your saying people could have been jumping to conclusions??? 😱 ....

really?

What an astonishing revelation that is!!!!!!!

*falls of chair*

Are you hurted, Yerssot?????

I'm fine, got a little shreded by the shock!

Well snap out of it you!....we need your mind at full functioning capacity 😉

After all...I don't want to lose you too

how is it that every one of these posts as of lately has strayed from the discussion and ended up a pointless arry of mindless comments. no offense to anyone, ive made little quips, too. but can we try a little harder to either stay on track or close the threads? its a little irritating to have 100 emails of replys to these threads and then check them and its just mindless dribble

It's hard to stay on topic when you forget the topic!

No offence taken, but we like to go down bunny trails 😄
can't help it man.
