ExistentialDisorder, that is WAY more facts than I have! My idea that the death of the Quenn would be the trigger was more or less a blind shot, whereas you have facts! The point remains...Lucas states that the climax of EP3 is a descent into Hell where Anakin makes a deal with Satan. He makes this choice. Justice and reason necessitate that the soul who makes such a choice garner the appropriate consequence, and it is an insult to ask anyone to believe in the miraculous redemption of such. ::::: Opera ::::: [P.S. I wonder if Satan will be personified. God, the agent of forgiveness at the end of Episode 6 is not. All we know of "God" in Star Wars is "The Force."]
