I hate Star Wars becoming the Saga of Darth Vader rather than the Adventures of Luke Skywalker, I hate Luke being supplanted and replaced by Vader becoming the lead character. We are supposed to root for a wife killer and child murderer is that it?
Lucas totally lost his sense on the prequel, virgin birth, chosen one prophecy, rules on attachment, midichlorians, Whills, how can people take any of that at face value.
He destroyed Star Wars there was nothing left for Disney to destroy.
I understand where you are coming from, but you also need to be realistic. Sure, you can criticize the way Anakin was portrayed in the Prequels all you want, you can say that you don’t manage to empathize with him, you can even say that you would have liked him to be more similar to how he was portrayed in The Clone Wars (for example). All of that is totally legit. But regardless of the way Anakin would have been portrayed, he would have still fallen to the Dark Side and would have still turned into Darth Vader, which means that he would have still ended up doing stuff that we all consider to be morally reprehensible. If a character is intentionally set up to become a monster due to the choices he himself made, you can’t expect to empathize 100% with him. And besides, making Anakin the protagonist of the Saga does not automatically put Luke in the background, because it’s clear to everyone that Luke is a better person than Anakin and didn’t make his mistakes and bad choices. A character does not have to be the absolute focus of the Saga to be your favorite character, nor to be a better person than the actual protagonist of the Saga. Lucas said that Anakin is supposed to be viewed as the protagonist of the Saga, but he didn’t say that we have to approve his choices. On the contrary, he always said the exact opposite.
