Still, Anakin's turn is weak in ROTS.



Hmmm. I didn't think about that, his choices were to have power through out the gallaxy, or just wander the gallaxy as powerless freak full of sorrow. Having his new place of power would maybe at least balanced his sorrow. Thanks for shedding some light on the situation, makes sense.

I guess my opinion of how it should of been is just another Star Wars geek's opinion, unless its flawed somehow. I'm just stuck on my idea of how it should of been, but with the prequels you have to think everything out and how it would affect the future. In my teen years, my most obessed Star Wars years, I'd be able to hang ... but now that I'm older I just don't have the strength.

Dark Lord Sidious explained that his teacher was so strong with the dark side of the force, he had the ability to foresee and protect his loved ones from that danger. Script wise and from Sidious' point of view, why not just tell Darth Vader she died in child birth, not the whole greif thing, or that he had killed her. It seems he would of had more anger towards Obi-wan (and the good side of the force) for interfereing and preventing him from saving her life. The new Darth would of felt more remorse, helplessness and anger not being able to protect her with his new sith powers. It would of further strengthened his belief that the dark side of the force was stronger and could of prevented her death, of course this is what Dark Lord Sidious convinced him of.


So what do you think of it?

Would it create any plot holes or inconsistency?

I still don't like how she died or Sidious telling Darth Vader that he killed her. Maybe you can help me stop obsessing over this part.
