    I disagree, I think when he fought Obi he was still Anakin... just EXTREMELY conflicted. He only became Vader truly once Palps put the suit on him and used him as an attack dog. You should watch the Clone Wars series on Netflix (first season is hard to get through just a heads up) with your son, it will give you great context to Anakin during that time.

    My son and I have seen every episode. I still am not swayed.

    Nope. He literally KILLED YOUNGLINGS... No confliction there.

    Yes, yes he did... I really think George Lucas dropped the ball on that one.. episode 3 was really good but I'll be honest, I wish the prequels would've started the clone wars episode 1 with a grown Anakin, so by episode 2 the obi/Anakin battle happens. Then episode 3 could've been Vader centric in the suit confusing all the Jedi as to who he is because Obi defeated Anakin the episode beforehand.

    So Ahsoka can sense Vader but Obi Wan can't sense his padawan? Makes no sense at all.

    I must be the only one that kinda liked it. Ill have to watch it again this weekend maybe, but I thought it was decent. Didnt blow me away or anything.

    Typical though, I don't fit in with anything around here. lol.

    Go watch some of the reviews on youtube. They'll really break down why people don't like it. It's mostly the fact that the storytelling is just all over the place. They build something up, and then just tear it down without any resolution. Can you imagine in the original trilogy if they had built up Darth Vader, and then revealed that he was Luke's father, and then Vader just died like a bitch at the end of the movie? Vader slips on a banana peel and accidentally impales himself on his own lightsaber. You'd be like..... wtf?????

    So think of it like this.... Vader is dead.... the Rebellion wiped out with the exception of like 15 people..... and Luke is magically really good at everything without any training at all. That series would have sucked..... and that's why this series sucks.

    Yeah that sounds lame, I might just get caught up in all the fantasy and not pay attention as much to how it adds up. Which is really weird because I cant stand movies that dont add up... but that's on the realistic sense.

    Like we just watched something the other night. Cant remember what it was, ... oh yeah an episode of Sopranoss. AJ ( the son) and his friends snuck into the highschool swimming pool and broke a bunch of glass display cases, then proceeded to walk barefoot all over the glass picking up trophies and tossing them in the pool. Camera didn't show their feet, but I was like, WTF? They would have their feet all cut up. Things like that get me and turn me off.

    ?But when it comes to fantasy, I don't think I care as much about it equating.

    Rey being strong in the force would've been easier to swallow if they didn't tease us with her parents being important only to have it turns out they were nothing (allegedly).

    Snoke dying so easily, and stupidly, would've been like Palpatine dying in ESB, almost by accident. It's as if they used Bill and Ted's telephone booth time machine to take Rey and Kylo Ren into the future to train, come back to present day and all the sudden have bad ass powers.

    And then the wasted scene of going to the gambling planet? What was the point of that? It was seriously like reading a sci-fi story I wrote in grade school, and trying to make sense of it.

    Last Jedi needs to get the treatment of the Holiday Special. It never happened.
