"It's like if they redid Star Wars, and not only tried to make Vader sympathetic"

Already been done i am affraid, ever see the orginal return of the jedi?

Never mind the prequels which were supposed to make a guy in the star wars universe who is equivalent to hitler a sympathetic guy by starting him out as a naive 9 year old boy. Lucas failed miserably but that does not change his aim that he changed the saga to be vader's story, the whole framing of the saga now is in the context of an evil bastard being the hero instead of his son redeeming the spark of good left in him.
