Anakin's "tragedy" really wasn't that tragic either. It COULD have been tragic, but it was handled horribly. That's the whole thing. Lucas took it in the wrong direction and then fucked up the execution of it. Talk about really blowing it...

One of my friends told me the same exact thing, saying if Anakins story was compelling, you wouldn't have a problem with the new context of the 'Vader story' now. I guess to give an analogy, I never loved Vader being Lukes father in ESB at first, cause I was such a SW '77 fan and the context that was told, but ESB was so damn good, and ROTJ even with the Leia/Luke 'other' plot point, were good enough where I didn't disregard the OOT story as a whole. Good points, Cable.
