RO and TFA have also got me thinking a lot about Star Wars villains and fandom. So many people have expressed how much they hate the "choke on aspirations" line and say that Vader WOULD NEVER, but Anakin was kind of awkward so I think it fits him. People are also really down on Kylo Ren for not being a cool villain but he was never meant to be that. It just seems like a lot of the gatekeeper fans have a very narrow set of boxes for SW and when given anything outside of them, they throw tantrums. But, they also don't want more of the same. This fandom really is ridiculous.

I think most of the people who think that Vader WOULD NEVER or that Kylo should have been cool are too deeply sunken in nostalgia to even try to engage critically.
It's just, 'Oh, you think that 'I hate sand' Anakin wouldn't make a joke like that?' 'No, original trilogy only!' 'Oh, you mean the guy who chopped off his son's hand and *then* did the 'join me' speech. That guy.'
Vader is cool, but really guys, unclench.

Well, I've heard a lot of 'vintage' fans that actually really loved Rogue one's depiction of Vader as well as Kylo, but I know that some people were divided on the subject. If numbers are anything to go by, I'd say most fans love the movies.

Anakin would definitely. That was my argument when people I know bashed on the Vader pun. Anakin absolutely would.
