“is anakin at fault for his actions” is the trolley problem of sw fandom to me. there’s no right answer and that’s actually good and useful because it lets us ask complicated questions about free will and trauma and what being at fault even means BUT. and this is crucial. there are also about a million yahoos walking around acting like there is an OBVIOUS right answer and everyone who disagrees with them is a MORAL DEGENERATE and also an idiot

#yes he is at fault and he’s not at fault and what does fault really mean anyways and does it even matter #what is the difference between fault and responsibility IS there a difference and if so why does that matter #all FASCINATING questions useful for interrogating our own notions of responsibility and redemption #but instead people want to talk about how the jedi TOTALLY WEREN’T RESPONSIBLE or how the Jedi PERSONALLY MADE ANAKIN DO GENOCIDE #star wars #this is my highly developed opinion #but for once it actually is
