I'm pretty sure that's the reaction we were supposed to have to Anakin, that it didn't matter as much as it would have if it had been say, "younglings," but I had the opposite reaction because Sand People are just as sapient and what he did was just as much murdering kids.

As for Dany, look, she was my favorite character. I hate what they did to her character. I think it was badly written, and it personally ruined the show for me (that and other things in season 8 and some in 7 too). But if we take it as shown on screen, what she did was not okay. She murdered innocent children. She murdered civilians, poor people who had no say in anything and therefore no responsibility. What she did was evil.

It made no sense for her as a character in my opinion and it certainly wasn't developed. We go from no murdering the oppressed to suddenly murdering them is okay with no real reason given for the switch in her personality. So if you want to pretend it didn't happen, cool. That's what I'd do if it hadn't retroactively ruined even the earlier stuff for me. But there is no way to justify it as written. There is no way to justify murdering innocent kids. None.

Nah, the fact that Anakin killed "not just the men, but the women and the children" wasn't meant to be forgiven. It was definitely one of many big steps into Sithdom for him.

Yes, it was a step. But it wasn't meant to be seen as a full-on dark side step. We were still supposed to see him as completely heroic. It was supposed to be him dipping his toe in the water. Whereas, to me murdering that many people is pretty damn dark and a very big step at least.

Nayrt, I always felt it was the first step of his point of no return. If I recall correctly, they even played part of Vader's theme in the background.

...No, we weren't. Which bizarroworld are you from?
