But who is judging who here? Why do you presume your interpretation trumps the words that come out of Lucas' own mouth when it comes to discussing specific plot points? Why do you say my POV is 2-D? Why presume my POV isn't dynamic? Why do you presume I don't see the allusions to real life; the parallels with popular myth, greek tragedy, different philosophies of the world, religions etc etc just because I don't agree with your POV? I do see these things, and they are well documented even if I didn't see them for myself. But they provide inspiration for Lucas, it doesn't follow that they always provide narrative truth. I'm all for looking at every possibility. I'm all for exploring things to death. But not at the expense of ignoring what is given as fact by the body of work itself, and by the author's own words. The question is "Did Anakin have to become a Sith in order for the Prophecy to be fulfilled?" To tell you the truth, and forgive me, I'm not even sure what your opinion is on this. You think that Anakin did have to, right?
