Now that the dust has settled, can we finally agree that Anakin did nothing wrong?

When you put it like that, fair enough

Hmm

WHAT ABOUT THE YOUNGLINGS, ANAKIN

And he was a good friend.

So this was just a misunderstanding?

You gotta do what you gotta do.

>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.

>At that proposition, you turn to the Jedi counsel
He cut off a master's hand at that point

you fags used to think he was wrong?

>heroically kill the tribe of monsters that kidnap, rape, and murder people

he killed non-combatant children and babies.

that's bad.

There are people who adamantly believe the tuskan raiders didn't deserve to die (cucks)

By that logic terrorists do nothing wrong.

They're just victims of their upbringing.

Sage.

who was in the wrong here?

>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

>>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.

>cut off someone's hand

WELL LOOKS LIKE IM IRREDEEMABLE

BETTER GO KILL SOME CHILDREN

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.

Which caused the death of the guy (which he wasn't expecting, but still)

Anakin cut off his hand and caused his murder.

there is nothing wrong with prequels
