Topic	Rate the Character Day 3: Darth Vader
Panthera 09/14/17 5:04:20 PM #63:	Lopen posted... I don't have a problem with criticizing the story. What you're doing here is more taking Vader as your personal platform to vent issues with the philosophy of the Force rather than anything Vader in particular did wrong. It'd be like me giving Qui Gon Jinn a 1/10 because he was the first character to mention midichlorians. The problem is that Qui Gon mentioning midichlorians isn't a huge part of his character. Vader's role in reflecting the philosophy of the Force on redemption is his entire character arc and the culmination of 3 or 6 movies worth of build up for one of our main villains (and certainly the one we have the most personal investment in). I can ignore a dumb scene a lot more easily when it isn't the climax of the story. Vader's character is how the philosophy in question is expressed to us, I think that makes it fair game to take it into full account when judging how much I like him. --- We clasped our hands, our hands in praise of a conquerors right to tyranny <cite>Panthera posted [p:886605633] in Rate the C...
