What the FUCK were they thinking with this scene?
Why did we need Anakin murdering children?
You could take this out of the movie entirely and it wouldn't feel like anything of value was lost.
What is Lucas's defense for this? Surely SOMEONE must've thought this was too much.
>oh, it's okay, he redeems himself in the end anyway, even a mass child murderer isn't beyond redemption!!!
What the fuck, George?
Ban assault sabers. Think of the children.
>What the FUCK were they thinking with this scene?
It was comically over the top and made no sense for Anakin's character development.
Lucas is a hack, he was surrounded by Yes Men, and 99% of star Wars is dogshit.
The original scene was going to be Anakin killing an adult Jedi by stabbing her in the back while on camera. I guess George didn't think it was edgy enough.
Bad people do bad things. That's the difference between a villain that acts evil and an edgelord that just wants to sound evil.
>Why did we need Anakin murdering children?
Religious zealous and child soldiers with the power to crush windpipes with a though*
Two ways of handling this:
Palpatine convinces they will grow up to take revenge, so doesn't matter when you kill them.
or
It's a mercy killing, saving them from what Anakin went through.
Well, in episode IV we know the Jedis save Obiwan have been wiped out
So like, yeah
It's both honestly. Those kids reminded him of his hopeful, naive self when he first entered the council room with Qui-gon. In a fucked up way, he was killing his past self.
Yes, it was necessary. Anakin had fallen.
He developed a taste for it in Attack of the Clones.
No, this was merely a deleted, half-shot scene that uses the same footage of Shaak Ti dying to General Grevious in an earlier deleted scene. What you said is just wrong and garbage. If anything the Jedi Temple assault would have been longer since there's choreographed fights between adult Jedi that play on the security cam footage. Probably Cin Dralig and his apprentice.
>We must move quickly. The Jedi are relentless. If they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war without end. First, I want you to go to the Jedi Temple. We will catch them off balance. DO WHAT MUST BE DONE, Lord Vader. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy. Only then will you be strong enough with the Dark Side.
Dumb faggots.
they had to kill them obviously. but it probably would have made more sense for clone troopers to do it. anakin's change was a bit too sudden.
Everything you described would be better than the edgy cringe youngling bullshit. It doesn't even make sense for his character, his whole motivation is literally saving his wife and child so why the fuck would he murder kids? If anything he'd want to take them and groom them, not murder them.
>t will be civil war without end
I take it you are pro endless civil war then? Typical rebel.
yes, you need to establish that's not Anakin anymore.
this was regarded as one of the better scenes before it started getting memed for no reason, so I have no idea what prequel haters even want anymore.
>anakin's change was a bit too sudden
It was very sudden because they wasted an entire movie on him being a baby kid and had to cram a trilogy worth of needed character development into 2 movies.
Once again, prequel haters BTFO
child murderers cannot be redeemed but vader was redeemed in Return of the Jedi so its shit.
>child murderers cannot be redeemed
Says who?
>Just psych yourself into killing a bunch of children, bro.
its one of those rules like if they show a gun they have to use it later.
All Jedi needed to die. The younglings were young padawans so they had to die too.
NOOO NOT MY VADERINO
WHY IS HE NOT KILLING CHUD IMPERIALS FOR??? GEORGE YOU RUINED IT WHATS A FASCIST DOING IN STARWARS
