But he is coward who kills defenseless children Younglings. He kills Tusken women and children.
As well as choking his wife nearly to death. These are some of the worst parts of the PT for me (the competition is stiff). They make a mockery of Vader’s eventual redemption (as well as the supposed idea that there’s something tragic about his arc). There’s a place for people like who commit crimes like that and it’s not Force heaven.
There’s nothing in the writing of the PT that makes me feel any sympathy for Anakin and, as such, his fall is completely without emotional resonance for me. I know our friend D-spear feels differently and that’s fine, “art” (using the term loosely in this case) can, and does, strike different folks differently. But I doubt I’m alone in these sentiments.
