Does anyone think that making Vader a tragic figure was a big mistake? I feel like beyond the lack of camaraderie between Anakin and Obiwan, they should have shown him liking power, or liking throwing people around. It would fit more with his attitude in SW towards the Admiral Motti for example. It would be more believable, and any idea of regret or sadness could be much more subtle.

“A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defence, never to attack.” - Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back.

Anakin should been portrayed as relishing in combat as opposed to other Jedi like Obi-Wan who only fight to protect the innocent, and feeling clearly restrained by his Jedi training, a clear indicator that he’s on a darker path. I always felt his falling to the Dark Side due to a desire to protect Padme was stupid.
