All these accusation of Lucas using Sith Eyes because he's lazy or whatever smell like Lucas-bashing for the sake of Lucas-bashing, a trap these boards fall into all too often.
Sith Eyes were used in ROTS because they look cool.
You may say they look stupid, but you're also potentially blinded by your intense PT/Lucas-hatred. They look cool, so they put them in. To think that the audience would not understand that Anakin is evil after he killed Jedi "Younglings" is absurd, and it's completely unnecessary to accuse Lucas of that.
A voice of excessive reason! I agree it was probably more about looking cool. But I'm not going to go out of my away to argue against the idea that Lucas was lazy (actually offered offhand by someone arguing in favor of yellow eyes, not me). I'm only saying they are unnecessary. Clearly a big part was: the Emperor has yellow eyes, so the Sith have yellow eyes. And clearly I agree that it's absurd the audience wouldn't understand. I wasn't accusing Lucas of anything. Let's not get bogged down in silliness...I am still wondering if anything from Return of the Ewok could add to ESB or RoTJ.

Or maybe people who type that they look stupid, don't make sense etc mean what they say???
I am tired of people impugning motives and sincerity because they might disagree...
