Exactly! I mean, there's a hell of a lot of Unfortunate Implications there too as well. I'm thinking, really, that George Lucas did not think that scene through, he really didn't think of the effect of that scene or the weight of it. He just didn't think, which...really, actually thinking about the effect of a scene like this is important when writing it. And yeah, exactly. Considering how principled Padme is, I can't ever truly imagine her condoning something like that.
And yes, exactly! I mean, like I said, Double Standard.
And very good point. It really doesn't match up with what Vader said in ROTJ.
And God yes. First time I read and saw it, it really became Obi-Wan's Moral Event Horizon when it really wasn't intended to be. Now, just...ye gods. What was he thinking?
Exactly.
And yeah, exactly. Considering Sidious lied to him about saving Padme, I think Vader trying to kill him would be very much justified. And make his ultimately killing the Emperor at the end of ROTJ all the more awesome.
And God yes. That really would be very sad. And it would add a nice sort of mirror with his final scene with Luke, it really would.
