who's saying Vader's nice? and it doesn't hurt the story. its just a interesting concept to look at what would of happened if he hadn't gone bad. Its the will of the Force. Destiny. If he hadn't gone bad, he Empire would more than likely have won because, as I said, the twins would have been killed along with the rest of the Jedi. And I don't remember the Rebellion scoring so many victories 'till Luke showed up, not to mention Leia's leadership wouldn't be there. It doesn't excuse what he did, its just look at what would happen if he hadn't. Obviously Anakin didn't even know that in the long run his going bad inadvertantly saved the galaxy. It was just a lucky accident for the galaxy. Just a little Keanu "whoa" moment is all. I still feel bad for Anakin, I can relate to his reasoning, but I don't remotely condone his actions as Darth Vader. But we never said his becoming Vader was a ploy to get in with Palpatine and do good in the long run. thats what makes Darkshadow's concept so interesting. that it was sort of a lucky accident.
