Star Wars III - a different view

I came out of Star Wars III - Revenge of the Sith (it's hard to remember the right number... since it is the VIth movie made...) with a unique perspective. I saw 2 main reasons Anikin went to the Dark Side. First - very Oedipal. By working so very hard to make sure his nightmare of Padme dying does not come true, Anikin (pardon the spellings, please) just makes it happen. You can't run away from your fate.

And second - Are men really that afraid of childbirth? Ani is so afraid Padme is going to die in childbirth that he ends up totally evil? Guys - it's a very natural thing. Women have been doing it for eons - even before medicine! Even before hospitals. Even before Doctors!!! It's pretty much the only way to get here. Yes, sometimes women die - but it's not usually just because she's giving birth. There are usually complications. It's natures way of population control. Let's not mess with Mama Nature.

Ok.. Oedipal..He went to the dark side cause his mom died in slavery on a desert Planet?.. ....Oooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooK!... :-D.. I guess I am just still kinda dissapointed that I have to think so hard about they why of it given the terrible choices that Luke has to make in Return of the Jedi and resists. Lucas made a very powerful moment on screen with Darth, the Emperor and Luke all in confrontation.. Luke had massive reasons to kill his father and let the hate consume him. Anniken just seemed to convert... Just thought that Lucas missed a chance for an emotionally charged moment that would be reflected later in the series when Luke resists similar manipulations by the Emperor... oh well.. maybe next time!!.. but I do like the idea!!
