Is there ANY lore in ANY franchise more screwed up than Anakin's fall to the dark side?
I mean Jesus Christo... We're meant to believe his fall from grace was tragic and that he may be sort of an anti-hero fighting on the wrong side, but the we get TWO SCENES in RotS to explain it:
>kills Windu to save palpatine
>expresses severe remorse ("WHAT HAVE I DONE...:)
>2 seconds later swears allegiance to Palpatine
>Mustafar
>goes into rage mode because MUH JEDI ARE EVIL because the senator said so
> no explanation to Obi-Wan whatsoever despite Jedi being a primarily diplomatic position
>just attacks with no provocation
I mean shit, the half-assed explanation is that he was trying to save Padme, but even that seemed like bullcrap. For all their scenes together, it didn't even seem like they loved each other. Honestly, throughout the entire trilogy, they seemed like a couple who had fallen out of love but continued to drag the relationship on because neither of them had the guts to end it.
Killing children is the actual point of retardation. If they left out the children killing, everything would make sense. The fact that he killed children and got to see his own grow up to be the most beloved people in the galaxy and then die a hero while connecting to his son is a monumental injustice.
We don't even know what Anakin thought about the Separatist movement or the Republic, other than "people should be made to act, not to think!"

>Obi-Wan: Think, don't feel!
>Anakin: Act! Don't think or feel!

I think that image was the only time in the prequels that Anakin looked cool
Indeed, worst moment of the prequel trilogy.
>Join me Anakin, and you can save Padme
>No
>Anakin, please
>Ok
>Great, thanks for joining me, perhaps soon we can figure out how to actually save Padme
And that's it. Anakin was literally tricked into joining the darkside, Sheev admitted to his face he was bullshitting, and Anakin was still ok with it. Rather than getting pissed at Palatine for confessing he just fucking tricked him, he goes off to kill some kids.
Yea, that will help you figure out how to save Padme, you dumb fuck.

Come to think of it, were Anakin's stances on the Separatist movement or any political occurrences at the time expanded on in The Clone Wars?

Generic edgy teenager shit. Very much uninteresting.

>Anakin was literally tricked into joining the darkside
He was "seduced", according to Obi-Wan from Ep IV.
Did Lucas even watch the OT before directing the prequels? Had he watched them at all?
What an awful thread.
>>62705146
Well it's a prequels thread, what do you expect?
>>62703147
He fucking does it twice, in two different movies and yet he's still some great hero and a good friend

What the fuck even was the separatist movement?
Why were they separating? Why weren't they allowed to leave the republic?
