in the end, anakin failed that is why i did not choose him.

what are you talking about, in the end, anakin throws palpatine into the core of the death star and in doing so returns to the light side.

[Isamu]

yes but because anakin went to the darkside, he tipped the balance of power to a paralell of the nazi empire. billions of people died because of him. i wouldn't call that a success

[strike23]

in the end he succeded in ending the line of sith (as far as the movies were concerned) that was his success. He did cause the deaths of alot of people but he saved luke from palpatine which saved the entire galaxy from a couple of threats like the vong.

[Enlil]

I suppose it all matters on "a certain point of view"...

[Isamu]

i would have to agree with enlil on that one

[aNaRcHiSt44]

Indeed.

NO RED WRITING!!! unless it's arbiter's

We can't see for certain what the outcome would have been if the empire was still in power when the vong arrived. Palpatine was one of the first to know that the vong even existed.

also anakin was whiny and sad. the worst outcome for a chosen one possible in my opinion. always ignoring his fellow jedi and thinking that palpatine was actually his friend. In the end the fool was tricked by palpatine, destroyed the jedi temple, lost his wife, and not to mention killed  jedi younglings. oh and he killed obi wan as well. In my books anakin was a complete fool. i only have some respect for him cuz he killed the emperor and saved luke.

[Slornie]

Nope.  Anakin/Vader didnt kill Obi Wan - He voluntarily became one with the Force, just before Vader's lightsaber swipe.

ok so vader/anakin involuntarely killed obi wan. big deal. he's still invloved in his death and he was a leading cause (old age was a close 2nd). not only that but he basically hurt obi wan badly when betraying the jedi.

this snot nosed brat called anakin doesn't deserve to live. he was easily controlled by palpatine and shrugged off the jedi's advice time and time again. he only truly became respectable when he saved luke and even then it was brief. Anakin was too damn Naive and foolish thinking only of himself and His precious Padme. He wuz probably easy pickings for good old palpatine.

[strike23]

you all spend too much time criticizing anain. Granted he became a horrible person but he had a shitty life. He was born as a slave, gained freedom and was at first denied by the jedi, Qui-gon/obi-wan got him in. He was still not truly accepted by everyone else. His mom was brutally tortured and killed. He had nightmares about his love dying in childbirth. told the council about palpatine and was denied the ability to do anything, and while trying to get palpatine a trial, ended up getting windu killed.
Anakin's problems make his actions almost understandable...

[Isamu]

thats like saying the situation caused the problem which everyone knows its not true. anakin made choices. those choices were poor ones. that is why he fails

[grandadmiralbeck]

a situation should never define a choice, anakin was always anakin, no matter the situation, he had always had hate, fear, and thirst for power. palpatine just made all that come full circle.

So this is supposed to make Anakin a good person and justify his actions? Nope. He should have proven himself not justified the jedi's beliefs about him. He was a fool plain and simple. He massacred hundreds if not thousands. Not to mention tortured Han Solo. How could he be so naive as to fall under the influence of palpatine? Not even Jar Jar was tricked by Palpatine!! Jar Jar always fought for diplomacy and the republic even though he was stupid. If Anakin can't even do whats right that tells u a lot about his intellegience levels.

[strike23]

im not saying anakin was a good guy, im saying that you should give the guy a break. Dont be so angry at him, feel a little sorry for him, his life was horrible, no one except obi-wan and palpatine gave him respect.

ok yeah he did have a horrible life and i do aknowledge that. the only reason palpatine gave him respect though wuz because he wanted to use him. not exactly respect is it?

i'm just saying he made way too many bad decisions which ended with countless people dying so thats why i have little respect for him. Well he was innocent and nice as a kid but that quickly turned sour. i have little respect for him but i do agree thought he did have a crappy life. of course a lot of the crappiness could have been avoided if he simply stayed as a jedi in the first place.

but remember that Anakin himself had lost everything. his mother, wife, children, friend. he had no one else than Palpatine. And if he had lost everything after he had done so much good things in clone wars why should someone who hasn't done anything have all so well?

[GrndAdmrlPellaeon]

First of all he lost all those things except one because of choosing to go with Palpatine.

[Meyer]

Palpatine was master at deceiving people. but true. Anakin's actions caused the result. but you can't excpect someone to care from other people and their opinions when he has lost everuthing he cared about. he, savior of dozens of worlds, had lost everything. why should lesser beings with less good deeds be allowed to have everything? I believe he used that as justification to his actions. and also that he had no choiche.
