Some of the PT fandom is slightly disturbing, I agree. Giving Anakin a pass for everything he does. Or admireing the Emperor. I understand that when you are in love, you do stupid things but killing small children has to be something else. There has gotta be a line that when you cross it, it's no longer love. But some of the fans seem to find excuses for everything Anakin does and what's even more alarming, they are justifying his actions. Laying blame elsewhere. "It was the fault of the Jedi for not caring about Anakin or some such." Or admireing the Emperor. But part of that has to be because there really are no real heroes in the PT. Everyone is flawed in one way or another. Everyone appeares so incompetent and eveyone is doomed to failure. I'm trying hard to think of who the real heroes in the PT are and can only come up with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. But even they were painfully ignorant of what was really going on in the republic. Where as in the OT Leia, Luke and even Han, knew excactly what was going on and what they had to do. In the PT the heroes just get dragged into conflict and aren't able to figure out why they are fighting or even is the cause a just one. Hell even I'm not sure if they should have fought at all. You could look at the heroes in the PT fighting to prevent freedom. Part of the republic wants to brake away and the heroes are trying to prevent that. It's basically a civil war and the jedi are fighting to preserve something that is corrupted to the core. So I guess, when you look at it like that you can understand why some fans like the sith. The sith atleast know what is going on and look smarter and better because of it.
