xhonzi: I think Lex is still an interesting bad guy; even though he's slipped so far and has embraced immoral means to his ends, there is that glimmer of desire to be good, to somehow do the right thing; even if he has "fallen", it's interesting to see the torment that sometimes grips him and how he seems to defend other characters from harm at points.

In the Star Wars novel DARTH BANE: PATH OF DESTRUCTION by Drew Karpyshyn you get an awesome view into a fall to the darkside that should have been what Anakin's fall was. It's also a great treat to see the Force more deeply explained (albeit the dark side mostly) and used! I can't recommend it highly enough.

The sequel's coming out at the end of this month: DARTH BANE: RULE OF TWO.
