You get so see some of the selflessness of Luke Skywalker in Anakin in Episode 1 and especially in the novelization.

Well that actually is when Luke joined the rebellion and became a pilot that attacked the death star. and you see him as a leader in empire strikes back. Now looking back Luke is incredibly selfish in many parts of the trilogy following his father's lead, its in the genetics, lol.

In the films this is all but gone in Episode II when anakin Becomes a brooding prick.

Again the novelizations for episode II and III make the character seem more human, which bring me back to Lucas being a hack storyteller and terrible writer.

Apparently for a newer purer Jedi order to come about, Luke's New Jedi Order. Anakin was the scourge of destiny that had to wipe out both the sith and the jedi for this to come about. But as with Lucas Yin and Yang concept or two sides of a coin that means another sith order had to come about as well, one that would replace the sith of old and the rule of two.

This is all EU anyhow but Darth Krayt's New sith Order emerges 90+ years after return of the jedi. The jedi mostly being wiped out by the yuuzhan vong and the war angainst Darth Caedus. THe lines of Jaina Solo and Ben Skywalker keep the jedi flame burning in the universe.

To be a regular person in the Star Wars universe you would have to be pissed as you get hundreds of years more of religious war between the Jedi and the Sith. I'm suprised a Hitler like Character does not come on the scene and say lets wipe them all out.
