I mean, in OT, the Dark Side is basically Evil. Now, I want to point out that I'm a person which likes the point of view concept. Which was concieved in RotJ. But still, in the OT the Dark Side was basically being evil with little to no moral values at all, or any other goals other than "THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE", with the Light Side not being shown as so light, because, PT aside, Obi-Wan and Yoda told lies to Anakin to use him as a tool to kill Vader. Obi-Wan, even after Luke learned that Vader is his father, wanted the boy to kill Vader.But, you know. All for greater good, right? Yeah, the point of view was applied only to the light side, no redeeming quality to the dark.
Yoda never lied to Luke. Obi did, but that could be explained as trying to spare the boys feelings, and since he died the next day, he never had a quiet moment to sit down and explain everything.
"A tool to kill Vader" is not at all how I see it. In fact, didn't Yoda try to encourage Luke not to rush off and fight Vader? And if they both thought that Vader was unsavable (as did Palpy and Vader himself) it doesn't mean they wanted him dead... only that they didn't see an alternative.
The "Point of view" speech I dont think was intended as a thesis on overwhelming moral relativism. Only on Obi trying to explain what he had lied about to Luke in the past and as an analogy that he (Obi) beleived that Vader was irredeemable.
