Anakin is a silent violent brute which is nothing like Vader
Vader is such a nice guy in the OT.
R1 Vader and Anakin are not like OT Vader. OT Vader is about Batman Gambits and outsmarting the good peopl. R1 Vader is “let’s kill as many Rebels as I can in this unnecesary second ending”. Anakin is not even Vader-like smart, he is clueless the whole time, trusts the guy who first told him he could save Padme and later said he doesn’t know how to save her, is too susceptible compared with Vader, is too prone to burst of anger, and he merely felt to the Dark Side because he wanted to save his lover, not because he was searching for power and control over the rest.
OT Vader was not a “silent violent brute” even if he wasn’t a nice guy and he was silent most of the time.
Had Anakin been a different person, you may have liked him as a villain, but the prequels neve gave a convincing explanation as to what made Anakin the same Vader we saw in the OT. Two decades between the trilogies, my ass. That’s how you explain intertrilogy Luke forgetting his own actions in RotJ?
