Protagonist-Centered Morality: Difference between revisions

Line 100:
** Although this is not really a valid in-universe complaint. Only Luke really seems to forgive him, even Leia doesn't and still considers him to have been largely evil. The rest of the Rebel Alliance generally ranks him as among the most evil individuals in history.
*** Even Luke never really tries to excuse all the things Anakin did while he was Darth Vader... he simply acknowledges that in the end Vader realized how wrong he'd been and was sorry. Luke forgives him because, among other things, holding onto hate would be a temptation to the Dark Side. (The fact that Leia bears so much anger for him for years after his death shows she's actually a lot more like her father than she'd care to admit.)
*** In addition, Luke also has a compelling personal reason to believe in the sincerity of Vader's redemption, notably, the fact that ''he is still alive''. Other people in-setting don't share either this reason or Luke's conviction.
