That's the whole point. The Dark Side twists and corrupts. There is no 'but I did it for such and such a good reason.' The Dark Side is an insidious cancer.

Exactly. Which is why Anakin giving rational reasons for turning to the dark side does not work.

Well, Yoda always said that fear leads to the dark side. Having fear of something (like loosing someone) is a rational reason that can lead someone to the dark side. The thing is that it cannot be the only reason, indeed. Because sometimes we all do bad things for good reasons without being bad persons in our heart. Anakin is doing bad things for good reasons, but we don't actualy really see when and why he became corrupted by the dark side. The movie needs scenes where Anakin learn more and more dark side powers that makes him feel unvulnerable and makes him loose his mind.

Well, then this whole turning to the darkside thing is Yodas fault (so to speak).

Since when was it FEAR that almost drove Luke to the darkside? It wasn't fear. Fear isn't mentioned by Vader in ESB/ROTJ nor was it mentioned by Empy in ROTJ. Hate is mentioned...anger...um...i'm wracking my brain here...what else is mentioned?

My point is the whole fear thing is something Lucas made up for the PT. And while I understand where he went with it...'fear' being the main reason for turning to the darkside is NOT what happened to Luke. Hmm...maybe that was done on purpose by Lucas...to show the differences between father and son...now we know why Anakin turned (fear) and why Luke didn't (no fear)....sorry now I'm just rambling! :D
