THANK GOD I am not the only person who has considered that Anakin did exactly what he was supposed to do, whether we liked it or not. Balance is not about wiping out the opposition. You cannot have light without dark, or vice versa; each exists because of the other. The Jedi Order had grown stagnant and stiff. By refusing to change, they damned themselves to destruction, a sort of GFFA Darwinism taking effect. You have to adapt if you want to survive.
