Re: The Psychology of Darth Vader Revealed
It's an interesting article... but nothing that hasn't been said about a billion times before by others. Anakin was messed up, got no help and was almost actively helped along the path.

Actually, he was very messed up, so anything anyone could have done or said would have resulted in him becoming Vader...RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:It's an interesting article... but nothing that hasn't been said about a billion times before by others.

He wasn't actively helped, he was just actively fucked up...

I don't think he was "helped" along the way, as much as he wasn't helped with his mental issues...
Which may have ended "helping" him along the way...
So maybe I agree fully with you...
I'm no longer certain of anything...

Does this mean I'm going to turn to the Dark Side and face my Mentor on a planet full of lava atop a melting and falling structure while whining like a little bitch?

Re: The Psychology of Darth Vader Revealed
Always wondered if Qui-Gon as Anakin's teacher might've helped. Even a little bit.

Re: The Psychology of Darth Vader Revealed
Maybe, but there's an equal chance that Qui-Gon's hippie-dippie Gaia mentality would have screwed up Ani even more.
