the whole redemption of Vader was out of character all along.
This raised an eyebrow from me. I’ve never heard that complaint.
Is it related to how in ESB, Vader was bent on having Luke at his side to overthrow the Emperor, while in Jedi, Vader decides to act as the Emperor’s pet most of the time?Or in other words, Vader went from going, “I NEED Luke by my side!” vs “Luke NEEDS to serve the Emperor!”
I’m probably off the mark here, but I never put much thought into how Vader might be out of character in Jedi.
To be honest, I stopped taking generalfrevious seriously sometime ago.
While Vader was a very likeable “badass” character in ANH and ESB, it was kinda one dimensional. ROTJ gave Vader a lot of depth in terms of character. It actually becomes interesting to wonder what is going in his head, unlike in ANH and ESB where it is just a matter of who is he going to kill next. While people usually only praise Luke’s and Emperor’s character development in ROTJ, I think Vader’s character gained substantially with ROTJ.
