“Bad” as a point of view dates farther back in SW than the PT. Or at least a lie as a point of view does.
Of course, we’re all familiar with Ben’s speech. I just mean using it to explain Anakin’s turn could have been a good starting point if it was followed through competently.
Even if Anakin’s turn were done skillfully, there would still be a major problem with the entire story: the PT+OT = Saga becomes Anakin’s story
Not necessarily. There’s no reason why we can’t see the PT and OT as separate stories that tell the larger Skywalker narrative.
Disney seems to consider it the Skywalker Family Saga.
PT: The Tragedy of Darth Vader
OT: The Adventures of Luke Skywalker
ST: ???
