I must admit, after seeing Anakin in the new trilogy, when Vader turns to the good side at the end of ROTJ, it's kind of not as sad anymore, because you think of who he's turned back into, and.... well... meh. Plus, having Hayden Christianson at the end, SUPER LAME!! Luke never knew Anakin when he was young! For all he knows the guy who appears with Obi wan and Yoda is his long lost brother or something?! Yeah, that's a good point. I suppose Lucas wanted to put in the Anakin at the point where he was good last, before he went bad? I dunno. I think it's super lame too.

Mmm, good point, but Luke never knew that Anakin, and besides, that Anakin was a twat. And anyway, Luke would want to see his father after he saved him, because then he could feel... i dunno... more... proud? Like, he just saved his father in his dying breath, so it seems a more loving moment that he sees his father from the moment he was freed of the dark side onwards. Catch my drift?

Mmm. I was discussing with a friend the other day how lame it also seems that Vader isn't actually the baddest MOFO jedi in the universe because he worked hard and consumed all that power, it's because of his "metachlorian count" or whatever that crap was. I mean, seriously, when you find out he's so badass because of some stupid high level he was born with, ... lame.

Yeah. I agree the midichlorian thing was kind of lame.

It's just stupid anyway you put it.
I think my favorite thing about Star Wars has to be the fact that Luke, the main character, doesn't end up saving the galaxy. He just saves his father. I mean, you've got all these big epics were the main guy saves the day(Frodo=LOTR, Neo=Matrix, etc) but in this, it's the other characters who blow up the death star and rid the galaxy of the empire and bring freedom. Luke, however, just wants to save his father, Darth Vader. And then at the end, when he is burning his body, you just know that while he is sad about his father's passing, he is at peace because he know he died free and that Luke set him free. And that's why Vader is such an awesome character, because while he's the most evi land badass mofo in the galaxy, it's still very moving when he dies.
