as a child I grew the cognitive capacity to realise that all the bad things that kept happening to everyone were on purpose and it was just over man LOL
they fucked it up so bad, and the EU was also massively guilty of this even before the prequels came out. you can't have vader be anything other than a scary figurehead if you want him to be redeemable as per ROTJ, and you sure as shit can't have that timeline with how people act in ANH
the OT is pretty vague on what vader even does other than aura farm and torture han solo. the EU and prequels fucked it all up by making him The Evilest Guy To Ever Exist
