You know, we wouldn't be mocking the hell out of Vader if the prequels hadn't made him a joke.

*whispers* I liked him in the prequels

starwarsobsess · 03-17-2009, 12:34 PM

Trude I like him in the prequels to.

**Sternbetrachter** · 03-17-2009, 02:58 PM

I'm not alone!

starwarsobsess · 03-17-2009, 03:29 PM

**Sternbetrachter** · 03-18-2009, 02:37 AM

makes me feel so much better

**Cryostar** · 03-18-2009, 06:04 AM

Yes, but the prequels succeeded in making him not so evil in the OT....I don't like that. I want evil vader back.

You might like him in the prequels, but I doubt you respect him to the degree the OT requires you to. Whether as Vader or dying/ghost Anakin, the character in the OT was a figure you respected. It was necessary that the prequels keep up that respect. Without it the character is ruined. The prequels failed totally there.

guess you are wrong, Sum - my respect for Vader in the OT hasn't changed after watching the PT

sum1 · 03-18-2009, 11:08 AM

Judging by things you've said, I doubt that.

To an extent, I expected Anakin to be a whiner, but the prequels took the extreme.

I still don't see the "much anger in him", though. More like fear and desperation. In that regard, Lucas failed; it's only on Mustafar that Anakin really struck me as angry.

I still love Vader, more so knowing his tragic story.

Knowing how much he loved Padmé & how he had a fixation on saving those he loved from dying makes his redemption and saving Luke from death more meaningful.

I still see him as a ruthless bass ass when he ruthlessly killed his officers.

**Cryostar** · 03-20-2009, 06:04 AM

I see him as throwing a fit and not getting his way.
