Anakin Skywalker, greatest tragedy ever told.

How is Anakin Skywalker a tragedy? Because the dialogue told us that he's supposed to be one? Well he's not. I never got the feeling that he was a good heroic person like how he was supposed to be. He was always arrogant, whiny, aggressive, and brooding. It may have been the acting though because the script seems to think he's a great tragedy, when as the viewer all we ever see is him being a selfsh brooding jerk. He never even showed any remorse for his actions, he just killed the poo out of people with no fugs given. 

 

Ben Solo is actually a much more tragic character. He doesn't want to be evil, he was just failed by everyone who was supposed to be good. You see him show remorse and be hesitant when he's doing bad things. He's pretty much what they wanted Vader to be but failed at executing it.

 

 

Was a torn person.  Tried to do right, bad poo happens....tries to shrug it off...more bad poo happens...he was not always a jerk,  his moms deal pushed him....threat of padme dying sent him over the edge....those circumstances would make any young boy a bit of a dick...especially one that gifted.

His downfall was definitely his arrogance.  Seemed like a tragic character with a dose of anger he could not always control that eventually consumed him. I'm a huge Vader fan boy so my views will be different.

Also I do like what they are doing with kylo.  He is not as fearsome as Vader, maul or anyone like that but he is what's keeping this trilogy afloat right now.

    • Meniscus maybe? I can't see it being ligaments or he would be done for the year.
    • Yeah I think the latter has a lot to do with it too.  I don't think it's a coincidence that there are also only two o-linemen over the age of 34 sitting in free agency waiting to be signed.  O-linemen is one of, if not the most physically taxing position in all of professional sports simply because of all the weight these guys gotta carry.  We saw Jordan Gross retire and then immediately lose a ton of weight since he no longer had to maintain that kind of unhealthy mass.  We also saw a guy like Jason Kelce retire at age 36 while still elite at his position.  I think a lot of these guys are calling it quits early not because they can't compete anymore, but to avoid severe long-term health issues.
