Whos good and whos evil?

No, ANakin WAS good (the good man that was your father....) and then turned to evil... No greys, he's just in transit.

Umm...isn't the transit between black and white grey?

Nope... it's like crossing a border or scoring a goal, the line is crossed or not.

There is a transition state...its shown.

No, it's like scoring a goal: he's on his way to make a choice: in which goal shall I score, the opponents or my own?

A goal is an objective, its nothing to do with the nature of the player.

At a certain point, Anakin's greyness was like standing on the North Pole. You're not south or north of anything anymore, you're in the dead middle, even if only for a moment.

I feel that moment's was in Palpatine's office, where he's trying to convince Mace to keep Palpatine alive. He went from Good his whole life, Grey that moment, and Bad from then on in.

But...if you're walking south...that doesnt mean you are South.

*sigh* Bloody semantics...

Consider commiting a crime. When are you a thief: when you consider stealing something or when you actually steal it? Same with Anakin, he considers a lot but he becomes evil at the moment he pledges himself to Sidious' teachings.

Doesn't look like a grey transit to me. Anakin is troubled, yes, but that's not displaying a moral grey area. He goes straight from good to evil in the fight scene in ROTS, and straight from evil to good in the fight scene in ROTJ.

At no point does the film even attempt to explore morally questionable actions from Anakin. There are never ever questions; he is always performing either good or evil.

Ush for Supreme Being

What about killing Dooku.

+ Leader of the seperatists...helps end the war.
- Killing an unarmed prisoner.

The same scenario comes up with Mace.

I didn't get that...

So Ush doesn't believe in inner conflict, when even for a second or two you're unsure of what path to take?

Then why does Anakin express hesitation and vocally regret his action?

Because he's a nerd.

😬 maybe.

Maybe becuse Lucas doesn't know what he's doing?

He does.... but he's not been doing it too well.

Perhaps he never did it well

I dunno.... American Graffiti, THX-1138 and ANH are still excellent films...
