I didn't want a Darth Vader origin story. Why, Lucas...? Whyyy???

Better yet, make a good one. I never bought into Anikain's heel turn. It was just too easy for him to turn. Sure, Mace Windu was bypassing the whole due process thing was kind of a bummer, but that does not make the following exchange plausable.

Palp: "I want you to go over to that big building, you know, the place where you grew up and made a bunch of friends, and kill everyone."

Vader: "Whaaa?!"

Palp: "When I say everyone, I mean everyone. Including the elderly and kids."

Vader: "You want me to kill a bunch of defenseless kids?"

Palp: "Yes, everyone. Take these clone troopers who are conveniently hanging around with nothing to do with you to make it easier."

Vader: "This seems a bit fishy to me..."

Palp: "Once you have committed the single greatest act of atrocity in the history of the Republic, then we may, just may because I don't know for sure, have enough Dark Side mojo to save your baby-mama from a vague and uncertain fate."

Vader: "Whatever you say boss. I will take your vague and intentionally misleading advice as gospel. What could possibly go wrong!"

Palp: "Muhahahahahaha!"

Nothing to criticize about that, given that this worked for the catholic church for the last 1 and a half millennia, too...

It can be done if you go to your happy place.

After 3 horrible movies, where each one turned out even more horrible than the predecessor, it is about **** time.
