This makes a pretty good case for his fall to the darkside being more about the hypocracy of the jedi. How Anakin was out of step with them and that the Sith were not as evil as the Jedi make them out to be

Expand on the meadow scene in AOTC. Where he's frustrated at being handicapped by the political b.s. and says someone should force them all to agree. Padme says it sounds like a dictatorship. He says "if it works...", realizes what he said, laughs it off as a joke. But I like it as a glimpse into what's really going on in his head.

The clone wars goes into much more detail a out this.
Frankly, I would argue that Ashoka had far more to do with his mistrust of the Jedi than padme

I'm just saying have you ever seen them both in the same room at the same time.
sorry for the late reply wook, Xcelsior has it right!
its a excellent documentary, when they are interviewing some of the staff at the end, they really get snappy about defending Lucas' decision on banning Prowse from everything star wars related
No worries, halliwax, I knew you'd get around to it. I'm stoked to watch it tonight!

I saw it as well. Great little documentary. I wish Disney would start to treat him better, bring him back into the fold so to speak, before
he becomes one with the force. No one has even come close to his portrayal of Vader. Prowse is Vader, period.
I think he got unfairly blacklisted by Lucas and it just keeps right on going. Love to see the re-shot ROTJ ending they did, with
Mr. Prowse back in black.

yes....
I thought the reasoning for Anakin's fall made sense, but it was too condensed to seem realistic to a lot of people. I think they almost needed an entire movie to show all the things hinted at in the movie and novel to get people to where they thought it made sense. In AOTC he says they are holding him back, then in ROTS he doesn't trust the Jedi for some reason, we see Palpatine planting that in his head, the Jedi not making him a master, and then asking him to spy on Palpatine. It's all there, but it should have played out over a longer period.

I've posted this a dozen times on this forum, but I'm posting it again.
THIS is how you do a believable fall to the dark side with characters that people actually care about:
In "Dr Horrible" I actually CARE about Billy Buddy, and I care about Penny.
THIS little mini-masterpiece chokes me up at the end.
The prequels... sorry, guys - I couldn't be moved to give a damn.
I wanted to jump through the screen and kill Little Orphan Annie myself.
And Padme?... Yah, she's nice to look at, but there's nothing there to fall in love with.
She's a one-night-stand at best. And IRL, unless she took an interest in me, I wouldn't want anything to do with her.
Plus, Annie is such an overt FREAKY PERVERT, and downright whiney SCUMBAG, I don't believe for a MOMENT that a QUEEN would have anything to do with him.
Apparently, in George Lucas's world, all you have to do is tell a girl you love her and she'll love you right back.
Does that guy even live on the same planet as me?
And please don't tell me I "need to watch the Clone Wars cartoon", because I'm not going to.
I'm a grown-up with a job and better things to do than watch cartoons. (no offense, astro)
If a movie (3 movies!) needs 6 seasons of a frakking cartoon to start to make sense, then maybe the movie (3 movies!) weren't very good to start with.

Uh, I'm pretty sure that no one who hangs out on this forum can ever tell any other person here to grow up and do adult things.
We're debating star wars online
