>be a slave until you're 9 >be separated from your mother and indoctrinated by emotionless, celibate monks >jedi treat you like shit because you're different (joined too late) and masters don't trust you (as seen in episode 1 where they judge him like a piece of meat) >be told to suppress all your emotions >be groomed by the greatest manipulator in the galaxy, and he's your only non-jedi friend and the only one that's not stupidly hard on you all the time for your humanly mistakes >be given a god complex because you're told you're literally the chosen one and soon to be most powerful person of all time >have nightmares about your mother suffering and dying, but be told by jedi to ignore it >finally get the chance to see your mom >she was raped and tortured and dies in your arms >heroically kill the tribe of monsters that kidnap, rape, and murder people >have to fight on the front lines of a galactic war for 3 years >have premonitions about your wife dying the same way the ones about your mom came true >freak out >jedi still don't trust you, ask you to spy on your best non-jedi friend >put you on council but don't promote you to master, even though you're top 5 strongest jedi in the galaxy, making you seem like a joke >still turn in sith lord who promised to save your wife because of your loyalty to the jedi >jedi don't trust you again and don't take you to arrest the most powerful villain in the galaxy >go to help anyway and see jedi, who was a dick to you your whole life, about to break his own rules and murder a prisoner, fucking hypocrites >see last chance to save your beloved wife, freak out in a split second decision and cut douchebag jedi's hand off >now feel like you've fucked up so hard you have no choice but join the dark side, hey at least you can save your wife
Now that the dust has settled, can we finally agree that Anakin did nothing wrong?
Ethan Jones
When you put it like that, fair enough
Colton Morris
Hmm
Jacob Hill
WHAT ABOUT THE YOUNGLINGS, ANAKIN
Brayden Adams
And he was a good friend.
Gabriel Williams
So this was just a misunderstanding?
Christopher Davis
You gotta do what you gotta do.
Liam Gray
>murder hundreds of people, many kids, to save your wife
Yeah, even someone who is fucked in the head would have a hard time doing that.
At that proposition, you turn to the Jedi counsel. Genocide is something that Anakin just decided he'd be okay with committing.
Chase Hill
>At that proposition, you turn to the Jedi counsel He cut off a master's hand at that point
Brandon Richardson
you fags used to think he was wrong?
James Cooper
>heroically kill the tribe of monsters that kidnap, rape, and murder people
he killed non-combatant children and babies.
that's bad.
David Gonzalez
There are people who adamantly believe the tuskan raiders didn't deserve to die (cucks)
Jason Allen
By that logic terrorists do nothing wrong.
They're just victims of their upbringing.
Sage.
Blake Hernandez
who was in the wrong here?
Nicholas Richardson
>he killed non-combatant children and babies. That's like going to the wolf den threatening your village and sparing the pups, so they can grow up and kill your townsfolk later on. For fuck's sake, their race is literally called RAIDERS
Adrian Smith
>>be told to suppress all your emotions
Obi-Wan gave him a lot of leeway tbf, and the Jedi showed him some compassion by assigning him to Obi-Wan in the first place. Imagine if he was a student under Windu and Yoda, he would have snapped and murdered somebody by his 15th birthday.
Jeremiah Torres
>cut off someone's hand
WELL LOOKS LIKE IM IRREDEEMABLE
BETTER GO KILL SOME CHILDREN
Cooper Bailey
Also, their village was in the middle of the desert. Those kids would have died a slow, painful death if Anakin had just killed their parents but spared them.
Jackson Campbell
Which caused the death of the guy (which he wasn't expecting, but still)
