Therefore basing your ideas on George’s vision is impossible as well, because (apart from certain very core elements) he never had a solid and stable vision in the first place. So, the better thing you can do to enjoy Star Wars without going crazy is ignoring George’s opinions (unless some of them make sense to you) and judging everything based on a purely Death of the Author point of view.

I don’t enjoy things in Star Wars based on whether it was Lucas’ vision or not. I just like the interpretation that Anakin’s fall was not the Jedi’s fault because I think it makes Vader a stronger villain.

Obviously I wasn’t talking about you, I was just making a more general speech. As far as I’m concerned, I prefer the idea that Anakin’s fall was kind of everyone’s fault. Not just the Jedi’s fault, or Anakin’s fault, or Palpatine’s fault, but a mixture of them all. I like to think that it was everyone’s fault and that it was, in a way, something destined to happen anyway, no matter if it was Anakin or another Jedi. It was destined to happen anyway, because it was necessary to destroy the Old Republic to later fixing things in the New Republic and improving the Jedi under Luke’s teachings, as shown in the EU. But I also respect your opinion on the subject, of course.
