There's this movie....called Return of the Jedi...little obscure flick from the 80's..might not have been noticed by someone writing STAR WARS, but has a couple of relevant plot points...
They're still at it? Dammit you bastards, leave my guy alone already! (It's really a good thing I maxed out on my tolerance of the EU years ago.)
Seriously. RotJ. I don't give a shit if you didn't like it or the PT, but you can't ignore that Lucas's intent was to humanize A/V. Not prove he was an evil douche from the moment he popped up in Shmi's womb.
Leia and Luke better hope that he has enough of Anakin in his hateful little ass to actually come back from the dark. Because from what I see.... he's Palpatine material.
Karen Traviss summed it up pretty well - kid'll never be anything more than Vader-lite. Everything I'm hearing makes me want to have ghost!Anakin pop up and clunk all the future generations' heads together (or shove them in a wood chipper, depending on the character), but knowing the EU, even that would probably still be fucked up.
