Oh, really? By Lucas' Jedi logic, if one of the girls Charlie Manson had sent to commit the Tate-LaBianca murders later decided to kill him because Manson was going to kill her boyfriend, she should have gotten off scott free for the other killings. Somebody's sense of ethics is warped, but it sure as hell isn't mine!

The "repent at the last moment granting you salvation" isn't unique to Star Wars. Most Chrisitian denominations that I know of attest that a mass murderer can find salvation by truly repenting. Not suggesting you have to agree with that belief, but it is not without predecessors.

I think you meant "precedence," not "predecessors."
And Koy'peled Oy'tio: If all you're going to do is respond in gibberish when someone replies to your accusations, then don't bother posting at all. And if you have a problem with our "bullsh*t," no one's making you stay here.

The thing you have to remember when talking about Vader making it to "Jedi Heaven" is that it's not really heaven. It's not like, a reward or anything. While the writing of Star Wars is heavily influenced by religious undertones, the Jedi order doesn't appear to be a religion nor does the Force appear to be any kind of divine entity. The Force simply is and what aspects of it you allow to dominate your use of it determiones your "allegiance".
That said, however, given the snipits I've seen of Episode 2...the question of whether or not Anakin was ever a very nice guy seems to be a more and more valid question.

i think they said "cured" not "prepared", as all spiced meats would by definition be "prepared" (and i don't think they said "spiced" either).

I think Gene (circa late 1960s) would take him in the third, but he would have serious help in the form of Majel (circa late 1960s) in his corner wearing her Nurse Chapel outfit. It would still be close. Lucas's Jedi mind tricks would wreak some havok early on. But Gene's berserk would consume him and, after some tunic-ripping clashes, I believe Gene would suddenly remember the "twelve parsecs" line and just go primal on that Joe-Campbell-listening-to-John-Dykstra-relying-upon-JD-Sallinger-of-science-fiction-wanting-to-be proto-auteur.

Now what the holy hell was THAT supposed to mean when it's at home???????
Ahaaaa, now I get it - SARCASM! Great.
I know that koy'peled Oy'tio (how did you come to imagine that nickname?) isn't making much sense either, but on the other hand, I don't really care anyway. I happen to like both SW and ST, so no hard feelings here.
On a different note, I don't like what I have seen of Anakin so far either. Please bring back Vader ASAP! Stuff that Anakin brat - be it in Ep I or II.

Hopefully by the time he reaches his late teens Anakin can act.
