Alright, so that's your opinion, we can't change your opinion, but how is any of this improved with blatantly obvious Lucas-league yellow sith eyes?
Well at the very least it provides a visual indicator to how close Luke is to the edge of complete darkness, which should not be underestimated in a visually oriented medium, and helps to intensify the moment.
It also clearly defines that yes, he is close to the darkside. Unnecessary? Perhaps, but there are definitely different interpretations of that scene based on the comments made in the past two pages that suggest some people don't think he is close to turning at all in the first place.
To be quite honest i'm more on the fence when it comes to this idea. I don't think it's a horrible idea at all....but i'm not gung ho about it either. I love the idea of the force having a corrupting effect on a person's visage, particularly their eyes, but i'm still kind of wishy washy on them being so immediate rather than something that happens after years of use.
The past few pages of discussion have gotten me far more interested in the subplot I was discussing actually.
