Darth Vader - The Suit - Episode III

From Star Wars Revenge of the Sith.

For a long time, I questioned whether the turning of Anakin Skywalker's to the dark side was believable.

There's one possibility---that the Emperor was exploiting Anakin's guilt over the death of Master Windu and the intensified guilt for the death of Padme.  But before the death of Padme,  the killing of the "younglings", which followed the death of Windu, sealed his transformation to evil. You can see the Emperor displaying a sly grin while the newly christened Darth Vader exclaims "no!" when informed that he was the cause of Padme's death.  All through his transformation, Vader's bondage would have required him to be blind to his being manipulated into it.

The Emperor was truly evil, so that part is believable.

I realize this is only a movie, but what makes a movie good is how well it can "suspend disbelief" by making it a realistic as possible.  If you don't believe a character, you won't accept the movie.  The commentary on a number of movies that I've watched shows how concerned they are that their characters and scenes are believable.  The extent to which they are believable is the extent to which the movie will be judged.

Then I look at Democrats and I notice how they are good at whipping up guilt and exploiting it.  It's evil.  Somehow, there must be a way to stop it.
