I guess the hardest thing to overcome is actually something that predates the prequel trilogy... And that is that killing his master to prevent the electrocution death of his son is somehow "redemption" after slaughtering hundreds/thousands/millions/billions? The personal toll of which is left to debate based on if you limit it only to personally caused murders (including the children in the Jedi temple) and if you can implicate him in the destruction of Alderaan (whose total population I do not know).

It's more like OBL bringing down Al Quaida in his final moments, before they can kill everyone in the US with their super weapon and entirely corrupt his son into their ranks. Which doesn't make him a flawless hero, considering his past, but still someone who did the right thing when the time came.


More like OBL annihilating every living American but two, twenty years later finding out his son is now American and saving his son from death by other Al`Queda by killing the other guy in charge of Al`Queda with him. Debt totally repaid.

I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ - 09/06/2012 10:19:01 AM 939 Views
