Ness, you are a Sissy boy or somthing? thatw as nothing Bad. Go and Watch some Horror movies or somthing to get used to it
Kids aren't invincible. Kids die all the time.
Besides, you knew the Jedi were going to die, and you knew there were kid Jedi since Episode I. Why were people shocked by this?
I'm glad Lucas didn't sugar coat this movie. We didn't need to see the kids get killed, but we needed to know they all died.
And they were called "younglings". They had to go.
It was so non-fan people would get that Anakin was not just kinda maybe bad but that he was over the line out of his mind bad...
like I overheard at one viewing when the yung ling asks what they should do and the saber snaps on
"...oh no! Not the children!"
Lucas knows what he's doing...we're just too jaded I think
Just because he didn't like that part don't put him down or try to convince him of otherwise, I agree that it was effective in showing anakins complete embrace of the darkside but its never 'cool' or 'neat' to imply or show the killing of children or anyone for that matter.
I liked the movie but think about what you say before you say it, 'horror movies to get used to it' think, use your brains, I might get flamed for this post but.. at least you know im not a sick person who thinks children getting slaughtered is 'cool'.
This is directed to everyone in general not just the person I was quoting
OH that part was so sad!!!!! But the whole reason it's in there is to show Anakin becoming more and more evil. I was a little confused when the little jedi came out and tried to attack the droids...Cuzz i thought He was killed by Anakin with the other kids. But then I saw the group of ... dead ... kids and I reallized that he must've been some escapee or something along those lines.

That's just the thing though, he did hesitate. He wasn't doing it because he was evil or because he hated the Jedi, he was doing it out of love...some sick, twisted form of it anyway.
It still seems to me like that scene was really out of place. Killing kids isn't bad-@$$. Cowards can kill kids.
Vader's supposed to be intimidating, strong, bad-@$$. Not creepy next-door neighbor that molests and kills kids.
He also killed the younglings to stop the future jedi that is a key plot point. Its not just the fact they are kids its the fact that they where the future of the jedi. The base on the lightsaber was awesome i really like that scene i think they could have had a few more jedi being killed. Also on the game u see the old lady that is in charge of the jedi archives being killed by anakin i think that should have been in the movie cause if u think about it no main character we know got killed by anakin. Apart from padame but that was a slow death and she also wanted to die at that point.
I think it was essential to the movie. If it got you pissed off then it did its job. Seriously this movie touched on the evil that is the SITH.
Also Anakin would not have gone and done that himself. It was Darth Vader that was consuming him. They showed how Darth Vader consumed his every thought, his every action, his every greedy ambition as he even told Padme that "We can rule the GALAXY TOGETHER"
He was even plotting against Emperor Palpatine because the more he killed the more powerful he felt.
Not to mention, those younglings would have beat the crap out of normal troopers. You saw what one youngling did to like two troopers before he was shot by them.
No the movie is perfect in showing what PURE EVIL is! Its Evil to kill children and the SITH are EVIL. It shows that EVIL has no consious and I would have it no other way.
Below is the definition of Evil. How do you convey Evil?
Lucus got it right!
